Day 42

"Remember. I. Brought. You. Here."

We're deep in the caves now. Despite the voices, it does get lonely. You miss the people and the faces that you used to know and see. It makes the current endeavour feel a bit...empty.

Hugh's voice has never been clearer though. Of course, so have many other voices, and I can't claim to be able to differentiate them all very well just about yet. But this particular phrase cut through like a knife.

I'm not alone here. More importantly, there's a purpose for me to be here.

Can't wait to be home. But I got to keep on keeping on.

Day 30

We found a tunnel that leads into the ground. It is dark but not considerably darker than above ground. Signal is better and clearer but with significantly more interference from other signals. The ground is gradually getting softer as we go deeper, but it still lights up, leaving a brightly lit trail behind us. The temperature changes are also more extreme, although without the windy gusts.

I'm having mixed feelings. On one hand, it seems like we're making swift progress. On the other hand, it seems like despite this, the journey back home remains long.
