Adam soon showed Eve the computer. Eve recognized the model, the same technology as her smartphone.

Adam: With this thing we can communicate with the Arks. I've been trying to find some old friends from the army. No word on most of them yet. Those they did learn about, not good news. But I did learn that Buck survived. I knew him a little during the fall of Los Angelas. Not well, at the time, but still, we went through hell together.
Eve: I know what you mean. A few people I'd like to check on, particularly my daughter.
Adam: Daughter? Guess it has been awhile.
Eve: Claire didn't tell you I wasn't pregnant?
Adam: She did, I just didn't know what happenned after.
Eve: Hope would be seven months now. I put her on an Ark bus in early April. She should be safe.
Adam: We can try to find her. The Arks are still sorting all that out, we'll just have to be patient.
Eve: Fair enough. So, why do you call yourself "Canary."
Adam: That's my designation on this internet. Canary 243. Me and other such private shelters are the canaries in the mine. The shelters were built to withstand 100 years of snow, but there's only one way to know for certain. This roof,is not as strong as the mountains. It should hold, but the Arks figure that if my roof doesn't hold, their roof won't hold forever. In short, whatever happens to the Arks, will happen to us first.
