    EPISODE 6

    Am I Alone

    “I am a motorcyclist in a hailstorm, recklessly speeding by the grace of a slipstream.” — John K. Mercury John K. Mercury — the first astronaut chosen for humanity’s journey to Mars — vanished before the mission could be completed. No signal. No wreckage. No answers. Decades later, his mission journal is rediscovered in the New Mexico desert. A printed book that should not exist. A text that appears older than the mission itself. And yet, inside its pages, John K.’s voice feels impossibly alive. What begins as a mystery becomes something far more compelling. The journal describes not just the silence of deep space, but the wonder he found there. Not just isolation, but connection. Not just fear, but a fierce, unexpected hope for the future of humanity. As scientists, archivists, sceptics, and believers examine the rediscovered text, each voice finds something different in its pages — a warning, a prophecy, a confession, or a promise. And slowly, a picture emerges of a man who may not have been alone after all. A derelict rover buried in Martian dust. A manuscript encoded into telemetry. A four‑day stretch of writing where reality seems to bend toward possibility. Premonitions. Quantum echoes. Unexplained signals. And through it all, a message that feels like it was written for us. This multicast audio drama weaves together John K.’s rediscovered journal with the voices of those who study it, argue over it, and are changed by it. A mystery, yes — but also a reminder: Even at the edge of the unknown, hope survives.
