“So, get the com button working?”

“Nope, but this new blender I just made makes a mean pina colada!”

“….”

“Ok, I’ve gotten it to work. I had to add some componants, so it’s too big to wear it as a collar button now, but you can wear it on your chest like a Sheriff’s badge. Just tap it when you want to talk!”

“That’s ridiculous! Who would use a com device like that?”

I think it's more that Zan was implying that there was an easy solution to their signalling problem, but now she realizes that what he really meant was that he's going to take the button completely apart and put it back together in the shape of something else.

The look on her face in the last panel implies that she has lost her com button since the escape.

Love the look on her face in that last panel.

Good luck with the storm Tara!

I don’t think they’re being used as bait, the operation on the side of the co-opted humans is far too amateurish, both when dealing with the prisoners and their overlords.

Phone service is not working in large portions of the New York metropolitan area, a problem which has somehow gotten worse since midnight last night as the worst of the storm abated. In addition, a very high percentage of New York City, New Jersey and Long Island is without power to run those digital phone service modems. Some areas are still flooded, and the residents of these areas are likely staying with friends or in shelters. Cell service in areas with widespread blackouts (and even in some areas with power) is hit-or-miss, as everyone is trying to get hold of family and friends. If you can’t get someone on the phone, do not despair; they’re probably having just as much trouble trying to call you to say they’re okay.

Also note that the Internet does a better job of routing around missing or overwhelmed nodes than the phone system does. If phones aren’t working and text messages get no reply, it can’t hurt to send an e-mail as well.

Aria might be a little in disbelief, but she’ll feel better once she sees this is Z getting back to himself. The question is, is it dangerous to contact anyone, are they being used as bait for the hunter?

Even poisioned by alien insects, Zan is still Zan. Morse code would be a good idea if Zan knows that someone on the ship understands archaic signaling systems. The shipboard recievers will be monitoring the landing party frequencies, even the odd frequency modification that Zan performed on her equipment earlier.

Morse code, perhaps?
