[The voice from the comm is probably familiar to at least some of the listeners, and while the message he conveys is, well, worrisome, his tone suggests he's completely in control.]

Good evening. I know I may be overstepping my bounds, but I was wondering if anyone else might have heard a disturbing rumor flying about the quarantine regarding some...beetles of unusual size that are, if the terrified gossipers are to be believed, heading straight for us?

I'll save my opinions on the continued existence of over-sized insects for the time-being and simply suggest we do something about it before we're all trampled into beetle dust. Any takers?

They could be on ACID though I don't know if I'd be willing to take that chance.

I can't help but if anyone gets tired I'll be back here with bandages and orange slices.

[tevinteraltus]

I'm not even certain what you mean by that, but I assume "acid" is a colloquial term rather than something literal.

[He chuckles, though.]

Aren't you a dear? Hopefully that won't be overly necessary, but things happen when facing giant insects.

[A beat.]

I wish I didn't know that.

[likeacoupon]

It's a recreational drug.

[She assumes he can connect the dots with that bit of information.]

I wish you didn't know that either.

[tevinteraltus]

Ah, so I was right.

(Wait, I'm not actually surprised that I was right.)

Ah, if wishes were reality...be careful, dear. We'll keep them at bay.

(Because there's no other option.)

[likeacoupon]

Right. Well, we're in your hands.

[She waves a hand at the screen.]

Hit me up if something else happens.

[tevinteraltus]

I shall certain "hit you up" if anything should occur.

(He chuckles. Some of the modern speech patterns amuse him, alright?)

I'll not be handling this alone, I assure you, but your confidence is appreciated.

[likeacoupon]

Your welcome.

[She flashes him a smile before hanging up.]
