[The video feed is brief. It shows a blonde man with a handsome, statuesque face, staring down his not-inconsiderable nose at the NV. His blonde hair is pale against his olive-toned skin, and his grey eyes are sharp. His expression is one of serene calm.]

Well.

[His deep baritone is quiet, calm. He raises an eyebrow at the NV.]

Quite the upgrade. Hopefully, the GPS function still works.

[With these words, he cuts the feed.]

What is a geepeaes? I have never heard of this thing.

[Never one to leave anything unexplored, Niko has figured out the different functions fairly quickly.]

It is a...program that allows one to electronically map an area.

[Or track a younger brother, and that's what Niko is most worried about. But that wasn't the question.]

[ Soma has no clue what "electronically" means - being from the late 1800's and all - but after a few moments he figures out it must correlate to their NVs. He himself somehow ended up with a really modern version of one and has been fascinated by everything it can do so far. ]

This thing has maps on it, too? Wow!!

....yes.

[Niko is now doubting the intelligence of this person. A benefit of the doubt says they are possibly inept with technology. Realism says they're not that bright. Niko's a cynic and leans heavily on the realism.]

[ Fascinated with the concept, Soma pokes at his NV screen, effectively cutting out the feed for a few seconds. There's a bunch of unheard flailing as he tries to get back to their conversation, but eventually he figures out how to reconnect them. ]

Are you there? Helloooo?? Answer me.

[ At least he thinks he has. ]

[Niko quietly decides he's had enough and disconnects the feed. He does not have time right now for distractions. He's got to figure out where they are, why, and how to get back home. It's rude, but Niko has higher priorities. Making sure Cal doesn't shoot someone undeserving out of sheer frustration in the next five minutes is high on the list.]

Uh. It seems like you've figured the NV out, at least. But just in case no one's told you, make sure to get inside before dark.

I have not been informed of this. What happens after dark?

Uh...I know this sounds a little weird, but I promise it's true. At night, the monsters come out.

[Niko is unperturbed by such a statement.]

No different frim the usual, then. What kind of monsters?

[Inquiring minds want to know.]

Uh, there's a lot of different kinds actually. Ones that are like big dogs, ones that fly, ones that are like evil toothy jelly...

The usual grab-bag variety, I see.

Thank you for the warning.

[Niko's voice is calm. He is completely undisturbed by this news]

Any in particular I should be aware of?

This big cat...dog...animal kind of thing picked me up like a chewtoy once. It bit right through my ribcage.

[Can you hear the wince? There's a wince.]

It popped just like a firm grape. Eugh.

If you're trying to get off the island using your GPS it won't work.

Not precisely, though it had occurred to me. Is there a particular reason it won't work?

It's impossible to leave the confines of this island.

I take it you have tried, then?

Not personally. Others have tried, though. None have been successful. The core sends people back at random.

The core? I presume that is what has brought us, then, in the first place.

... You've not talked to one of the greeters yet? I had to whip mine three times before he left me alone. [ Might be an exaggeration. Might not be. ]
