[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.]

Haha. [ He means the "haha!" What? Rust's quip is a good one!

He's too lost in his own personal game of make-believe to pick up on the doubt, though, or attribute the lack of info to anything other than what seems to be this person's generally gruff nature. Even if he were to pick up on the resistance, which he doesn't, Lalo probably still wouldn't pry; trying to force information out of people when you don't have leverage to do so never ends well.

He carries merrily along. ]

Sorry, man. I grew up white picket fence, suburban house, all that shit. So it's hard to relate. I don't know if my upbringing was "usual," but it was nice. Mostly.

Fuck, man. I hate to say it, but I'm kinda out of my depth here. [ Lies. Well, not completely. He is a little out of his depth; they all are. But he's not as out of his depth as he pretends to be. ]

Yeah. Okay. Will do.

We're good for the water. I have a fire going and we're near a river. I've been boiling some for us.

Food's a little harder to come by, but we're managing.

[ That makes more sense. Right off of Marty Hart's Greatest Hits—asking after somebody else and then sidling into autobiography. Rust isn't in the mood to hold a grown man's hand, but when is he fucking ever? ] Rivers good. More than Ive found. [ And it means they're some distance from Rust and—hopefully—the drone traffic. ]

How long have you been on the job?

[salamanca]

It's a nice little spot to camp. Safe. Out of the way.

Me? Two weeks. Worked for my family's business for years, but I've always wanted something more. I want to help people. Save people.
