[Martin's day isn't going well. And he's shouting as loudly as Squalo had been on the first communication. He's also very clearly running.]

May day! May day may day may day! Oh, god! Oh, god! May day! There's- Drone. Electricity spikes. Oh, god! East jungle. Close to shore!

[His responses to things may be delayed depending on whether or not he can escape the thing.]

[ There's a pause. His thoughts are orderly, orderly enough for him to consider and discard them one by one. ] This isn't some kinda [ a vague hum before he settles on the word ] self-castigation ritual, trying to raise him on the walkie. I don't sleep, is the thing.

Just telling you so you know what you're dealing with.

[cactusy]

Noted.
