Below you will find the final entry of Søren Asegelv's log book. Dated more than 4 and a half years after the nuclear holocaust that ended civilization on Earth. Recovered many years later by an explorer from the Mars colony.

Day one thousand six hundred and seventy... Two. I have been alone for so long. I am loathe to open the bunker door and see what ruin may lay beyond. My food stuffs will last for another three months ---
There was a knock at the door. If I do not return to finish this log, this is my final goodbye.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following was added to the log from bunker camera and audio archives.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knock... knock... knock...
Søren shows clear signs of hesitation, and the camera clearly recorded the obvious mixture of fear, joy, confusion, and apprehension that plays across his face.
The knocks come again, with the same speed and force, making them somewhat more ominous.
Knock... knock... knock...
Søren can be seen to press the intercom button; he hesitates and releases it, only to press it again a second later.
"Hello?
Silence.
"Hello?"
"Is KGB."

End of log entry.
