[There's something distinctly different about Fear when he turns the video on this time. He seems even less human than normal, not breathing, not blinking, as if he's forgotten how to manipulate his form so that it actually appears lifelike.

He manages to move his mouth as he speaks, but the motion doesn't quite sync up with the words echoed in through the mic.]

...so I've finally failed.

[His eyes are unfocused, but he looks downward, contemplative.]

I only got half the city out. It won't be enough- we can't start over, not without Hope. So it ends here, I suppose.

[He takes in his first breath since beginning the recording, letting it out in a long sigh.]

I'm sorry.

You and me both.

( She's been trying to work with them since... uh, things months ago. But it's always you can't do anything. )

Assuming everyone survives, perhaps this will change that.

[Not that she truly trusts the gods. What she trusts is that they will look out for their own self-interests first and foremost, and that it's in their personal interests to keep the people whom they feed off of alive.]

( And Kate trusts that they're the closest thing anyone down here has to a good resource. It's easier to accept that part and try to use it for their benefit than keep fighting them for now. )

Guess we'll see.

( There's a pause, a moment where Kate looks off-screen, before she returns to the conversation. It's not that difficult to tell who's got stuck over here, with the less than stable connection and the dimmer lighting, so; )

You need anything, the clinic's open.

( Healing, whatever food they have left. This is what they're here to provide. The extra boost in survival chances. )

I will keep that in mind, thank you.

[Although she's not too concerned about getting hurt. It's the food supply that's of greater concern.]
