[Alright, so this entire deal? Sounds like a load for crap. In fact, Drake is pretty sure this really is a load of crap. As if being chased halfway across the world wasn't enough, he had to arrive to this place and get bombed less than a day later.

Way to arrive in style, Drake.

At first all that can be heard is a loud snap and a crackle over the feed.]

Hey, ev---one okay?

[He grunts in frustration. Fantastic. Tech from the future and still static. Guess some things never do change, huh?]

St--pid thing. Sully? Chloe? St--- in --- piece?

[Chloe winces visibly at the static. The scratching is about as unpleasant as it gets, but she's been concerned about Nate ever since Talbot surfaced, and as annoying as it might be to have to wrestle with the network, leaving him out there without a clue of what's hunting him, or anyone at his back is too cold even for her.]

Just settling in for margaritas.

Glad to s--- right.

Marga---as? Settling for a par--- already?

Yeah. Real shame you're missing it.

Even a couple of cute girls here that don't min-- a-- se or anything like that.

[He's going to assume you said 'arse' there Chloe.]

I th--k I'm more in it for the ---ritas.

[Oh, look. You made her laugh. Trophy Unlock for you, Nate, especially given the way things are for you right now.]

Sunshine would be glad to hear it.

[Insert Farnsworth's 'Haha-- oh I made myself sad' here.]

[Oh. That. Yeah.]

I'll make sure she hears it first thing.

[Chloe's smile fades to something a little more sober; she honestly could do with a dose of Elena's sense to help balance out all the chaos. The girl was nothing if not grounded-- optimistic, yes-- but still responsible enough to counter all the crazy every last one of the lads liked to tote around with them.

Yeah, all right. She misses her, too.]

First things f-- cowboy. Why don't you drop in and we'll see if there's enough left to drink by the time you get here.

Tell me wh--- you are and I'll meet you there.

Sending the coordinates your way, provided the conn--n holds.

[And, though it takes a hell of a lot longer than usual, the third attempt to mail them through is the charm. Hello, campsite location.]

[And he finally gets the coordinates.]

Sit tight. See --- soon.

[ Flynn's been ignoring Drake's presence thus far, reluctant to show his hand until he's got a good play. But hey, the sky is falling and he's bored in a tunnel, so now's as good a time as any. ]

Should've known shit would f--- -part soon as y--- ugly mu- got here. Please tell me you're on the sur---- doing the blee---- heart act. Get blown to bits whi-- ---'re at it, mate. Maybe it'll stick this time.

[ Unlike last time, when apparently Flynn failed to blow any of you up. He's still slightly bitter about that. ]

[Oh, wow, isn't it great the feed is so full of static that half the string of nasty things he's saying are actually cut off?

Alright, honestly, it's not that much, just the usual backstabbing son of a bitch bits.]

Maybe you sh--- try a li---le harder next time, j--kass.

I'd l--- to, shame you're such sh-- at --llowing directions. Here's a hint, the tu---els are underground, y'--- [ Then it's cut off by a loud shriek of static, but Drake can probably fill in the blanks. ]

Unlike you, I act---lly know where things are be---se my head is-- st--k up my ass.

Yeah? Then why don't you co-- --nd me, and I'll show you just h-- [ Static and then a long pause as the feedback screams into Flynn's ear, causing him to jerk away and drop the call entirely for a second. ] Son of a bi--- piece of shi- --ture tech- [ And another drop. ]

[There's a hysterical yet static-filled laugh over the phone.] Yeah, you sh-- that ph--- who's bo--, Flynn. Bet it'll be the --nly thing to li---en to you.

[ If Flynn didn't need the damn netbook, he'd have put a hole in it - almost does, even gets so far as pulling his gun in irritation and aiming it at the screen, but thinks better of it and hangs up (forcefully slams the thing closed, more like) instead.

But if he runs into Drake in the tunnels, he'll break the damn thing on his face. ]

[?! Is this the same Chloe he's thinking of? How does HE know her?]

Still here. Looks like casu--ies are low this time around, but we don't-- numbers yet.

Hard to tell wi-- all the deb--s and the mess. I --n't th--k we'll get anyth--- final until la--r.

'Everyone' is a rather broad spectrum to cover.

Every--- who can answer, then.

Your signal is rather poor.

Might want to try holding the noteb--k over your head and walking in circles.

[Why are all you British people like this?]

Haha, v--- funny. I'm n-- a --man anten--.

A man anteater? What on ear-- are you ta--ing about?

Hu. Man. An. Ten. Na.

[Said ever so purposely slowly because damn thing.]

I ha-- this pi--- of cr--.

I don't think it likes you either.

Don't doubt it.

[SO CLOSE TO FLINGING IT HALFWAY ACROSS THE DAMN PLACE...]

Once we get ground l--l again, it might start to warm to y--.

I rea--y doubt it.

You have such little faith in y-- own charm?

[A HA HA... FUNNY THING ABOUT THAT...]

More li-- my lu-- with th-se --ings.

Luck needs to be t--en advantage of, not relied up--.

Well, l-- me kn-- how that g---s when you find so--.

I have no pro--em with luck. She and I s--m to get one.

[.... Christ why are all you British people so damn cocky.]

Congratulations on that.

[Because. Just because.]

Perhaps she'll learn to like y-- in time.

I'm pre--y sure she ju-- likes to me-- with me.

She does that. She's quite the woman.

You must be --al close, right?

[Sully smacks the tablet in frustration.]

C--- ON, work you ---pid piece of junk...

Nate? N--E! We're all good -- --oks like. Glad to s-- you're s--ll in one piece. I'm staying at --loe's camp down here, you should find u-!

... GO--AMN CRAPPY CONN-EC--ON!

[Picture cuts out abruptly.]

Sully!

[Damn it. Stubborn Drake's not gonna give up on the call.]

Yeah I g-- a h--- of Chloe, I'll b- th--- soon!
