Reply to comment by Total_Customer_6627 in Antarctic sea ice likely shrunk to a record low last week, US researchers said Monday, its lowest extent in the 45 years of satellite record-keeping by DoremusJessup

"I'm gonna hide this tape when I'm finished. If none of us make it, at least there'll be some kind of record. The storm's been hitting us hard now for 48 hours. We still have nothing to go on.

One other thing: I think it rips through your clothes when it takes you over. Windows found some shredded long johns, but the nametag was missing. They could be anybody's. Nobody... nobody trusts anybody now, and we're all very tired.

Nothing else I can do, just wait...

When you started talking about the storm, I thought for a moment it was a Frostpunk reference. Then I remembered they don't have tape recordings yet in that series.
