As we ride this train up north towards Berlin, we entered the Land of Brandenburg. This meant we could ask them if they were in this Land, to which the answer is no. That being said she could still have been in Berlin. So we asked her if her nearest commercial airport was the same as ours (BER), and it isn’t. So, whilst there is an outside chance she could be somewhere else, we are now working on the assumption she’s in Mecklemburg-Vorpommen, based on travel time. We’ve adjusted our mapping app accordingly, in order to make it more responsive.

We got to Berlin, and then thought that based on timing, we needed to narrow down which of two lines @darkphoenix@not.an.evilcyberhacker.net could have gone on, towards Stralsund, or towards Neubrandenburg. We tried to do a 5km thermometer, taking advantage of the fact that from one edge of the S-bahn platforms in Berlin Hbf to another edge of the platforms at Jungfernheide Bf was near as dammit 5km. We were stymied by the fact that four of the six platforms at Berlin Hbf are currently shut, and the one that was open was about 50m shorter. We went to Jungfernheide anyway, and walked out of the station, just as far as the canal, which made it to exactly 5km. And so I asked the question. And then they vetoed it.
