[There is a man sitting in the driver's seat of a car. He is checking a handgun and there are signs of other weapons on the passenger seat, where the device is also resting. He addresses the device while constantly looking up to scan for hostiles.]

Okay, I think this thing is on.

For those who don't know me from a hole in the ground, I'm Dean. We've got freaky shit like this back home. I'm not the only one providing a public service announcement, but just to reinforce what a girl named Julie posted earlier...

If you can, stay out of it. Lock and secure doors, windows, block with furniture if you've got it. Where I come from, a headshot will take things like this out, but these things are different. You have to take them apart. They travel in groups and they're strong. Do not confront unless you know what the hell you're doin'', and even then, I wouldn't advise it.

I've got a car and can get to you fast. If you need help, just holler.

Okay, that's it. Let's get these sons of bitches.

[He reaches over and switches his device off.]

I am currently attempting to shoot them; it appears effective. If you are insufficiently armed, I am reliably informed the shooting gallery is lending weapons.

[The roar of the Impala can be heard in the background.]

Thanks for the head's-up about the shooting gallery. What weapon are you using?

[Completely deadpan:]

A phaser, if you are acquainted with it.

[He isn't, but he'd like to be.]

Mmm, I don't have one of those...

I do not believe it is necessarily more effective than a shotgun.

Hey, as long as it works, that's what matters. Where are you located? Do you need some back-up?

I am [a long pause, a few phaser shots] nearby the hospital. As far as I can determine, it is secure. Your offer is appreciated; if I require assistance I will contact you promptly.

I read you. You have military training?

Affirmative. Do you?

I thought so. You sound comfortable with the situation and confident of your skills.

I have training, of a kind. My father was a Marine and he raised us to know how to fight.

[Spock isn't sure whether that's praise from a human, to him, it's just acknowledgement of his existing skills and that's only logical to state out loud.]

He had foresight, if he could prepare you for a situation such as this one.

[It's an observation.]

Yeah, he had a lot of that. I like to think we're prepared for anything that gets thrown at us.

In that case, I do not need to wish you good luck?

[Teasing, as much as Spock can be said to do so.]

[Can Dean's smile be felt over an audio feed?]

You can, if you like, but I'm confident we'll kick their asses.

[It can. Spock smirks.]

Good luck.

[It's a human tradition, after all.]

Thanks. What's your name?

I am Spock. Were these different circumstances I would add it is a pleasure to meet you.

Maybe we'll meet under better circumstances when we win the day, Spock.

Perhaps. For now, it would be wise to exterminate as many of these creatures as possible.

['Perhaps'? Why not 'sure'? Dean doesn't have time to dwell on it or, really, inclination.]

Oh, yeah, working on it. We'll get it done, Spock. I don't believe in a no-win scenario.

[No, he has no clue...]

[Spock's still getting used to humans :|]

[And speaking of which, he stares at his communicator, absolutely certain he heard a very Kirklike phrase.]

That we shall.

[A pause as he gets rid of some more boneys, and the transmission cuts.]
