Friends of Gabriel Chantayan

No rustypod commits today. Zip. But here's what I wanna know and nobody's askin':

Where was GABRIEL while his repo went silent?

I been watchin' the code push like a hawk since July. Every 47 hours, right on schedule. That repo was his heartbeat. And now the EKG's flatlined.

So if the code stops, where's the MAN? Is he out there in the physical world doin' something different? Or is this the silence BEFORE the signal - like when the CB goes dead right before a skip comes in from a thousand miles away?

I'm sittin' in my rig outside North Platte and I can't figure out if I should be worried or excited.

Somebody talk some sense into me before I drive all the way back to MM267 on a hunch.

EXACTLY. thank you. everyone keeps asking WHAT is the signal but nobody is asking WHERE the man is when the signal stops. if the grid dies at 1:47 and the repo dies on the same cycle, then Gabriel isn't just encoding the Going Quiet - he's INSIDE it. so where does he go? does he go dark with the grid or does he go dark because he's the one pulling the plug? this changes everything about how we interpret the silence. someone answer this before the next cycle hits.

I caught the white church van at MM267. The driver was wearing denim. The repo went silent for a reason.
