It didn't know what to say, oh fuck, it should be dead. It should be dead for the sake of Sarah and her son's safety. Now she's going to see it and think it's one of the enemy units. What should it say? What does one normally say when another is distressed? Wait, John once told him to say- ]
....chill out, dickwad.
[ Yeah, that's probably what John would want it to say. ]
She can't be hearing this. She can't. If there are Terminators here - and of course there are, because she's still convinced she's been transported to Earth's future, the place is probably crawling with them and she's expecting one to find her at any moment - there is no way any of them would say something like that.

[There's a tinge of relief in her voice. Humor? It sounds like there are other humans here.
Just then, a large chunk of spacerock appears from nowhere and smashes heavily into the floor, about fifty meters to Sarah's right. She stares.
Okay. She doesn't know what on earth is going on here, but the woman's right - this is not the place to try to figure it out.]
Inward. Roger that.
