[His awakening was rude, and he accesses the network in a panic, not really having thought.]

If anyone's listening, please respond...if you can. I don't know if this is another nightmare or...or what, but...we don't have much time. I don't...know what that means, but I can't stop thinking it. We have to hurry. We have to find the others.

I didn't know Laurie had an assistant.

Well, I'm sure we all appreciate the effort considering the circumstances.

I don't talk to people normally. People don't like me.

But I'm going to come scan you anyway.

[customplates]

...why don't people like you? You don't seem like a bad person to me.

[spherenpc]

Because I'm dead. Literally. I'm a ghost.

[customplates]

Oh...

...but that's no reason to dislike someone. It's...not your fault you're dead.

[spherenpc]

People don't like what they don't understand. They fear it.

So I stay away until I can't.

[customplates]

I...know a thing or two about that, yeah.

[On both fronts.]

I appreciate your help, John. If you can, I wouldn't mind you sticking around, either.
