[Talking feels like a monumental fatigue for him.]
Oh, hey Cal. It has been a while, how have you been?
You might think I'm fibbing you over here, but it is really great to hear from you again. Th-there's a handful of things I need to talk to you about - some pretty important stuff I need your help with.
Though, um. Maybe it'll have to wait until my illness goes away. You and Rev are the dying ones, and I gotta stay original--
[He falls into a short coughing fit.]
--rghh. Unless you don't really have the time to spare. In which case I'll stab myself with stimulants and a LOT of painkillers and waddle my way to where you are? It's up to you, let me know what you think.

I hope for your sakes this was just a terrible joke.
And in case it wasn't... I don't even know what to say. I have yet to process what happened today.
Only you had the guts to stand up to Harbinger. And you suffered endlessly for it.
I'm sorry I couldn't help at all. I'll carry this along with me for as long as I'll live.
Goodbye, friend. Rest in peace.

Your message has been redirected to me! - the sender - due to a lack of response in an agreeable timeframe from our esteemed Captain. Protocol dictates that I provide a soothing melody while you wait!
While you wait for a reply it would be wise to ask for an opinion - mine! Because if you did I would say that the recipient you are trying to contact is currently unable to respond.
Contrary to popular belief, this is not voicemail. It is, however, sent by a semi-sentient being.

[Laz sounded particularly winded. Barely keeping it together. A teetering, and distinctly shaky breath struggling to string words together under that helmet.]
You... have some explaining to do, pal. Preferably in 5 words or less.
