[Use this, the note had said, and after scouting her surroundings further, Adrian had found nothing else of use. It's with some slight fumbling that Adrian attempts to use the communicator; she turns on the audio function first by accident, then drops it to the ground with a slight thump - a few more noises and then the video feed turns on.

I know it sounds kind of weird, but there's no mistaking it.

[notmanaging]

Only 'kind of' weird? You lawyers were always good at understatement when it necessitated you.

...I...I'm not sure what to make all of this.

[dividend]

To be honest, I wouldn't worry too much about it right now. Focus on finding somewhere safe, and then you can sort out the rest later.

[notmanaging]

Somewhere safe? Away from the snow? It's...cold out here.

[dividend]

Hang on a minute -- where are you? Do you see any street signs anywhere? I'll come and get you.

[notmanaging]

I can see a playground.

[dividend]

I think there's only two... okay, I'll come and find you.

[Thankfully, it doesn't take him long to find Adrian -- and on the first attempt, too. It's too cold to be hanging around, but at least the snow seems to make certain things stick out a lot easier.]

Mr. Wright!

[She trudges through the snow, almost tripping through patches that are far deeper than anything she's used too.] This...really isn't some sort of exclusive club or movie set, is it?

[dividend]

Careful! [just as carefully, he approaches her, trying not to trip up. ... It's harder than it looks.] No, unfortunately not. I wish that it was that simple... but we've been brought here against our will by a group of scientists.

...What would a scientist...want to have to do with me?
