I'm sure you're all aware, ah, of the perilous nature of the situation we're all in here. The question becomes, if we're unable to do anything but comply, what is the nature of our compliance? Does Jorgmund really think we're going to give everything our all at all times with the methods they use for securing our compliance?

I'm not good at doing that.

In any case, I suppose some introductions are in order. I'm Ian Malcolm. I'm your local chaotician, which means I am pretty good at predicting when things are about to go wrong.

I'm sure I just painted a big red target on my back but at this point I'm finding it hard to care.

[ Chaotician sounds suspect as heck for all the wrong reasons to the space marine, but the man on the voice call seems to be saying the right things. ]

Things are already awry here, are you guessing they are about to get worse?

You know what they say, things always get worse before they get better. There's a reason that became an expression. Clichés almost always have some grounding in the truth.

Sorry about the lateness, RL dunked on me.

ANything in particular that you'd point out as a possible threat?
