[A slightly fuzzy but then suddenly crisp clear face appears, looking into the screen with barely-there nervousness. He wasn't camera shy, but there were things out here that he should be anxious about being found by. Clears his throat softly before speaking, glancing off quickly to one side when he heard something move in the distance]

Ah, hello. My name's Eugene and I have a request, for any listeners out there...

[Pauses a second to gather his thoughts, brows knitting together as he gives a thoughtful look to something behind his portable... book thing. Tablet?]

I apologize if I've... wound up with someone's stolen tablet--

[Laughs a little nervously but continues on]

But I could use some help out here. Ah, I'll give it back? I didn't actually steal it, I sort of found it... out here. In the woods.

[And hopefully the owner of said tablet wasn't already dead. Hopefully he wasn't alone. The thought makes him swallow hard]

I'm gonna look for a stick in the meantime. Thanks in advance! Stay safe out there!

[Grins a little but it's obvious he's unsure, waving his fingers next to his face before cutting the signal]

...I'll do whatever it takes, to get found, to get the cure. Whatever.

[Probably not the smartest thing to say to someone he doesn't know but... a cure for the grey plague-- it was more valuable than all the diamonds in Africa or something. Priceless]

I'll come out looking for you and let some people know to look too. Can you see mountains, and if you can, which direction are they in?

[Voice]

[z_jay]

All I see are trees, but I'm near a stream of some sort.

[Pauses as his blood runs cold, remembering stories of people on the road who would claim to help if you sent your coordinates, but would wind up robbing and killing instead...

The promise of a cure was simply too good to be true and he quickly thought better of revealing his whereabouts]

Actually, I see someone coming around right now! Thank you for your help but I'll be fine, Agent Barton!

[No ifs ands or buts, he's already closed off communication, heart racing]
