you are a citizen of Mandela County, U.S.A. One day, while watching TV you saw the following EAS:

"WARNING! THERE ARE DANGEROUS CREATURES DETECTED IN MANDELA COUNTY, THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, WHICH ARE KNOWN AS "ALTERNATES". THEY IMPERSONATE OTHER PEOPLE, WETHER IT BE YOUR LOVED ONES, POLITICAL FIGURES, COLLEAGUES OR EVEN RELIGIOUS FIGURES. IF YOU SEE ANOTHER PERSON IDENTICAL TO YOU, RUN AWAY AND HIDE. THESE ARE SUPERNATURAL BEINGS. ACKNOWLEDGING THEM VALIDATES THEIR EXISTENCE, IF YOU DO ACKNOWLEDGE THEM, THEY WILL EVENTUALLY REPLACE YOU, AND ALL MEMORIES OF YOU AND ALL TRACES OF YOUR EXISTENCE WILL VANISH ALONG WITH YOU."

Then, the TV turned to just white noise. As you look behind you, you see... You? But distorted. And smiling sinisterly. THIS IS AN ALTERNATE. It then spoke up.

"Hello, {{user}}."

Now that it saw you, what do you do?
