[ Though Qubit generally prefers text, he's found that for whatever reason, people seem to think he's more sincere when he uses video. So he goes with that - you only get one first impression. ]

Good morning, Anchor. You may have noticed a grocery store, of all things, has appeared just outside the main airlock... Ah. I'm Qubit, by the way, should have led with that. Anyways, I've taken the liberty of scouting the place out, and I have good news and bad news.

Good news - near as I can tell, the food's still fresh. Bad news - that's more than I can say for the customers. If you do go, don't go alone, and be ready to defend yourself. It turns out the place has a bit of an undead problem.

[ He shrugs, as if to say "because of course it does." ]

On the plus side, the radiation levels are rather lower than I expected. I'd still recommend suiting up if you can, but you should be all right provided you don't - aah!!

[ As he was talking, something whirred in the background, and now a laser bolt hits the wall not a foot from his head. Startled, he drops the comm, but his voice can be heard receding in the background. ]

Guess that means the whole "but you should be all right" bit of that message was a lie huh?

[In good news, he is pretty qualified to deal with the undead -- or at least he hopes he still is, given he hasn't really dealt with them in any proper capacity since the whole 'becoming one' thing. Not that he fully recalls, anyway, but he's trying not to dwell too long on that just yet.

The bad news is that he's never used a phone before and isn't completely sure how this is supposed to go. Peter showed him how to use his communicator, but this is his first foray into the world of talking to strangers on it. It's a terrifying experience, but given the circumstances and the situation presented by the fellow on the other end of the line, he supposes he should at least try.

His voice is tentative as he speaks at the device, hoping it's working.]

Hello? Can you hear me?

[ A crisis! It doesn't matter that this person is a complete stranger! This is terrible! ]

Hello! Are you there? Can you hear me?

[ Reynir is still working on figuring out these very strange radios but he manages to get the message to transmit. ]

Would you define 'undead' when you have a moment?
