[The video feed clicks on with the echoing remnants of the device clattering on its back. It shows the sky--but something is obscuring a corner of the screen. One drop of something dark and thick. And the longer it sits on the screen and thins out into a larger spot, the more red it becomes.
A drop of blood.
In the background not much noise can be heard but there is this sort of pregnant pause to the air. Maybe its just the way the camera seems so serene yet with that one foreboding drop on its screen; maybe its the way one holds their breath waiting for some sign of the owner; or maybe its just nothing at all. But after a seemingly lifetime ticks by a soft shinking sound is heard and then footsteps coming towards the communicator--slightly off balance, almost imperceptibly limping. The device is picked up and still nothing but idle background is shown on the camera, the moving sky and the tip of a building or two, but no person or creature or living thing.
Then a thumb swipes across the screen, smearing the blood over the entire view--and then the device is shut off.]
