[ Jeez it felt like days since Marty last slept. He probably could get away with sleeping all the way until the afternoon but a part of him was pushing him to at least pry one eye open. The last thing he remembers was taking the DeLorean back home with the Doc but everything else is just one huge blur in his head. Chalk it up to getting your atoms scrambled on a near constant basis. Maybe that's what he needed, sleep it off a little more. That subconscious of his seems to have the right idea, it really does feel like he's sleeping on a full size mattress fit for two.

Yeah... just a few more minutes.

But as he shifts from beneath the comforters, something feels kind of off. His eyes finally flutter open that this...is definitely not his bed. Now that reality has caught his attention, his eyes are now wide open and shoots up from bed. ]

[ Okay so Mayfield, right? Now he just needs to get a date on this place. The newspaper was able to tell him that much but the full year is scratched off. Great. Nineteen fifty-what? Every page he flips, the printed year appears to be nonexistent. Like something purposefully redacted it from the print. Nah, it can't be right. He just needs to get his hands on a better copy. If you're up and about enjoying your daily routine, don't be alarmed if there's a kid near your front yard, opening your trash bins for old newspapers. ]

[ Well... here we go again. You're probably one of the newer residents, maybe even a pro-Mayfield veteran. Who cares! Marty sure as hell can't tell. So whoever you are, there's a wild Marty from behind yelling-- ]

Excuse me!

[ Marty takes a minute to look at the places she's marked. ]

Those are not too far away from each other. Well, now that that I have this... It took me forever to find this part of town.

[ But then something hits him. ]

And that's okay? I mean- what about the drones? They're not going to spy on our conversations on the other line?

[ooeeooahah]

Well, there is a way to filter the calls away from the phones where the drones are, [ She writes the cheat code for the drone filter on the back of one of the papers she gave him, ] and the exchange codes for the different people is simpler than dialing someone in my time. I just had to get used to dialing fewer numbers.

[ Marty takes another look at the markings she's made. ]

Hey umm- thanks again, Ilsa. I would have been here for hours trying to figure this place out.

[ooeeooahah]

Eventually, we'll either get out or get control of the place, but until then, we need to help each other get through it.

Just remember to pass it forward.
