Yes, more please Alexander. This was excellent, lots of atmosphere and great characters. Do all the hunters have names of the alphabet? Or just coincidence?
As Nadia noted, I also got Aliens here, similarities of Newt hiding in the ducts.
Am I misremembering, or was there some potential link to Carter's universe? Maybe that was a different flash fiction. What was the significance of the code numbers spoken out loud? I need to go check back on the other parts.
Thanks, Nathan! Great point about the names. Hunters all have single-letter names. I had V and Z before, and we know K didn't make it (EP2) but for readability, I opted for Zed, some don't get people calling him Zee. Then I went and did the same for B and V. Annabel, Belle, Bee, it's part of her transformation. Why single letters? Because of their single focus. The Hunt. Still needed to develop them better as characters, hence we get Annabel here. No link to Carter. You might be thinking of Mr. Thorne in "The Deal"? Even so, a crossover is completely feasible, since it all happens on the same planet.
The coordinates. Yes. Point of Origin. Quite significant. It's where it all happened. End of the world.
Thanks, Sharron! Means a lot to me, esp. about the characters. 👍 I wanted them to be more fleshed out in this episode. Happy to hear that it worked. EP04 next week!
Thanks, Perry! Much appreciated. Yes, I needed Annabel to be more grown-up for the next episode, due next WED! And the conclusion in two weeks. Then Carter, Part II, among other things.
Thanks, Daniel. Annabel was a late addition, glad to hear you liked it. There will be two more episodes before we turn towards Carter and his visit to the Schwarzwald.
Really enjoyed this continuation. Some aspects reminded me of Stockholm Sven. The survival instincts and taking care of a lost child. Interesting how you dealt with the passing of time. A lot doesn’t need to be said or explained.
Thanks much, Kate! I heard of Stockholm Sven, haven't read it. Sounds like a good read? Also, the Jay Johnson of Ep01 is a loose reference to another "surviving in the wild/mountains" figure of similar name.
It should please you to hear that EP04 will come next WED! And the conclusion (EP05) the following WED. Ahhh, Aliens (1986) great film! Alien (1979) even more so, let's not talk about the rest. And yep, Bee is no Newt and Vee ain't no Ripley, maybe more Vasquez?

Great info, thanks. And that's it, The Deal, thank you. Brain fuzzy.
Anytime, thanks for bringing it up! Always happy to hear feedback on all these thoughts and processes.
More! Definitely more, please. Well defined characters. I fell for them immediately.

That went quick - years passed!
More please.

Really enjoyed this, Alexander. The introduction of Annabel adds an interesting wrinkle to the hunt. Looking forward to seeing what comes next 👍🏼

I need to know who the Maker is, so carry on, Sir.
That is the question! Our hunters may soon come head-to-head with someone who may have the answers. Onward then.

Thanks for the reminder on Instagram 😅

🤣 it’s a Sign!
100% Newt vibes 🥰
You guys! 😅 But but Newt wasn't Mewt! 🤣
😅
It's just the visuals in my mind of peering into a space after a bad thing has happened and seeing a child. Immediately brought that scene to mind.

Yes, quite right. Maybe there are Maker Servant creatures lurking in the shadows, ready to hug some faces!
Such an amazing scene.
Still amazing after all these years!
