[The radio clicks on to the soft sounds of shallow breathing, as if the owner is trying to quell all noises. The voice is a kid's, and he's sounding a bit panicky, tone just above a whisper.]

Is anyone there? I found this-- this was just on-- I really hope someone can hear me.

[Quiet for a moment, the rustling noises sound like he's pressed

[It seems Vanille has spent a lot of time sitting by her radio. With Light still on the hunt, she doesn't want to go anywhere. She's found a safe spot, no monsters, no militia. She's a bit on the hungry side, but the vending machine has aided her through these tough times.]

[Anyway, she's in disbelief when Hopes voice comes crackling through. In a way where she failed to operate the little foreign device properly for a whole ten minutes before replying.]

Hope?!

[escapedpandora]

...Wait... Vanille?

[lacqualia]

[Phew! That'd be awkward if it wasn't him.]

Aha! You made it ok!

[escapedpandora]

Made it...?

Vanille, are you here in Malta, too?

[lacqualia]

Mhm...Light's here too, but no sign from the others.

[Not that she wants them here in this scary place, but she hates the thought that they'll be split up for a while...so let her ~hope~]

[escapedpandora]

[...That's a terrible pun.]

Light's here, too? How... how did this happen? I thought we were all on our way back to Cocoon...

[lacqualia]

Cocoon...

[That doesn't sound right....but she'll go along with it.]

No worries, she's on her way. We'll group up and figure it all out! So, where are you?

[escapedpandora]

I don't know- somewhere... Biz- bir- Birzebugga? It's a really strange name.

[Please excuse what sounds like chaos over the walkie-talkie for the next few moments, it sounds like he's about to get attacked by zombies.]

[lacqualia]

[Gosh, make her worry.]

Ah-Be careful!

[escapedpandora]

I'm trying!

[Yeah, he never even turned it off.]

[lacqualia]

[Cue annoying concern while he runs around]

Hope! Don't try to fight, just run!

[escapedpandora]

I don't think that's working all that well!

[lacqualia]

[Oooh, she just hates being useless. After a moment of silence, she remembers one useful tip.]

The grumpy guy said to try to aim for the head!

[escapedpandora]

[Aim for the head? All he has is his boomerang, so he's aiming for their eyes.]

---- Okay, then!

[lacqualia]

You can do it!

[escapedpandora]

[There's a bit of silence before he says anything.]

...They're gone.
