This last story of the year is a proper Nouvel’An scary story, fresh from the northern snows. Dare you tune into the “Lost Signal”?
“This is Yankee Hotel Foxtrot.” Brian confirmed. Then he confirmed something else: “Identify.”
“I am …Russian Robin.” It sounded like his voice, but through a vocoder, or fed back through AutoTune. Something was deeply wrong with the Siberian.
“What is your high-tech RF installation there, Russian Robin?” Brian asked, thinking fast.
“Never mind that stuff.” Russian Robin had avoided cursing. “You must listen to me, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. You must hear me.”
Something in the way he said it – “you must hear me” – caught Brian’s attention. What new mystery was this?
“Do you still have that station on your other machine?”
“No.” Brian lied. He turned the volume down low. Just low enough he could still almost hear her voice, pleading for him, behind the banal list of numbers.
Fourteen. Twelve. Seven.
“Good. I think it is listening to us.” Here Russian Robin spoke in a hiss. “I ask you, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot: what if there is nothing back of the station?”
“What?” Brian blinked. “Repeat, Russian Robin, please repeat.”
“I repeat: what if there is nothing behind Jelly Baby? No government. No warm bodies. No transmitter.”
“Then how do we hear it?”
“Perhaps it is alive.” Russian Robin hissed so Brian’s ears popped.
