Audio Transmission, un: E.D.I.

[There is a soft buzzing sound, like the staticky noise of speakers taxed beyond their limit. It rises in intensity and pitch until it sputters briefly, and then cuts out. Everywhere that the transmission is accepted a tinny voice scales into the audible range, coming in mid-sentence.]

...ention. Due to unknown anoma... [The transmission briefly fuzzes out, and then back in, several seconds later] ...as sustained catastrophic damage. Please respond. Message repeating on—

[The message, the recording stops. The transmission continues, after a brief pause, but not as if a computer were resuming an automated broadcast. The voice is the same as before, a calm, feminine voice, speaking with a neutral accent, in english.]

Hello, I am EDI. [There is an appropriate pause, as if the speaker needed a moment to gather her wits, or to allow the listeners to do so.] I have some questions.

Uh. Hi, EDI.

[ Aaand now it's Peter's turn to pause, something loaded with uncertainty, then, ]

Was that a distress signal just now?

... Right. Funny.

[ In that slightly puzzled way that betrays that, no, it... wasn't actually all that funny... ]

Just as long as no one's in genuine trouble.
