Nothing can be done, they have five days at most. At least Doc says he can at least give them something for the pain... Who could have known they'd go up there to fix the antennas! Boys... Should have told me, should have at least worn the suits...

It's up! I just sent the first message! Made it... The boys are still alive, Alyoha even smiled when I told him. At least, now they'll know they didn't die in vain...

So, I get the radio online, and they remove me immediately! I can't even get an news - they say it's all secret! Put guards at the door, too, the bastards... And they struck me from the special rations distribution list. Way to reward honest effort...

This is terrible... How did the others survive all this time? It's only been two weeks, and already I can't think of anything but food... The others had been getting the same rations for months!

Two more weeks. The legs are getting swollen, the workers told me I drink too much.

I've no energy to move, even writing feels like hard work now. Apathy. At least, the hunger's a bit blunted now...

They are here! They heard us and came! Yes, they're just refugees, but they're here! Soon we'll get the supplies, it's not too late yet! Everything will be fine now! Of course, the refugees are quarantined for now, but soon I'll be able to ask them about everything...

I heard the quarantine will last longer than we though, they brought some bug with them... They also brought rations though, we've been given meat broth for now - we couldn't stomach anything heavier anyways... What a great feeling, though! Whole body feels warm. And the taste... unforgettable!

I don't get this... A second group of refugees, they also brought supplies, but it's just meat - no grains or anything... And they're all quarantined, too, while the last group has been there for over a month now! We haven't been told a thing about the situation in the country, or the Government... Why? I must have a frank conversation with Doc, he'll oblige for the old friendship's sake...
