Sure Got Kafkaesque in Here
[It comes on Saturday's comm, during a lull in the fighting, when the liquidators have all been stopped. It's text but the text-to-voice options means people can hear the message on the go, especially since people can have their comms float along with them as they move.]
[It's difficult for him to hit the buttons without messing words up. He opts to keep his sentences short and simple. Thank goodness for auto-capitalize and auto-spell]
Using Saturday's comm. She found me outside.
Brainiac 5. I'm alive.
Fell in Stuff. Was dying.
Alive but changed. Bad. Typing is difficult.

[the good mood fades from her voice]

[she trails off]
Maybe she can help him? He's got some kind of psychic thing going on, I dunno if he could do that before, but it ain't words, just feelings.
