Surprise Revival? [Video, a day or two after Kaidan's return]
[Here's a communicator signature nobody was probably expecting. Thor revives a little later than most of the crew, possibly due to it being done in a slightly different manner than most-- him being... you know... not from the ship.
But here he is, on the screen, a backdrop of Salvation and stars beyond her framing his confused but relieved face, apparently back from being dead. He's also lacking in his armor, since that presumably went down with his body in the plague city. He'll summon it back eventually, but for now he has more important things on his mind: like whether they succeeded at all. Enjoy the shirtless Thor on the screen, guys.]
Well! How many people made it back from our excursion into the wastelands? And how long have I been away? I apologize for my absence, and my, ah, death. I admit I was not really expecting it.
[Despite trying to take on a couple hundred wraiths with nothing but a hammer. He's Thor, okay, and he's only experience almost-death once, and that as a mortal.]

I'm told it's around a week. And I wouldn't say I 'made it' back [given that she, uh, died] but I'm back anyway.

What happened after my death? Did we succeed?

[He offers her a smile of kindreds: knowing how to blow shit up is way more fun than knowing how it works, amirite Ashley?]
Has everyone returned? I saw no one else, inside Salvation. Am I very late coming back?
no subject
As far as I know, yeah, you're lucky last. We should all have some kind of 'back from the dead, found the engine' party.
[... that was a joke.]
no subject
If we cannot use it immediately, perhaps we should! It was quite a feat, and if most of us perished... there is reason to celebrate, either way.
no subject
Could be a good boost for morale. I'll see what I can do.
no subject
[Bones' eyebrows are arched, but the message they convey of 'shirt, seriously' is probably lost on someone from a culture with a less buttoned up approach to the male torso than his own.]
In more ways than one. Not that I'm not glad to see one less death's a temporary one, but you didn't arrive on Salvation, you fell out of the sky.
no subject
[He hasn't quite put together the actual reasoning here yet. He also hasn't asked Salvation yet. He might do that shortly, here, actually.]
no subject
When you throw yourself on a metaphorical grenade for folks, you don't do it halfway, do you?
[At a loss for what else to say ('My condolences on the horrible death you just got better from'?) he focuses on practicalities.]
Do you need me to autoclave your gear again, or have the Authorities got that covered?
no subject
No one will be able to collect it from the quarantine zone, unless any survivors were kind enough to collect it... I will have to summon it. So you are correct, it will requite your special cleaning.
no subject
[Bones looks wryly pleased at his prescience.]
If you can, try and whistle for it at the edge of the zone -- the Authorities will probably be in less of a flap if it's in a biohazard bag before it passes through town.
no subject
[Given, yeah, naked. Plus the hammer probably could use some autoclaving, too.]
no subject
[Tony might be burying his relief under flippancy, but he's doing so badly - he hadn't expected to hear from Thor again.
Ever.]
no subject
[Thor is surprised and actually rather touched, and there's a bright smile for you, Tony.]
I am honored that you would follow the customs of my people for me, Stark.
no subject
[Because as far as they knew, it wasn't like they could bring him back.]
You're the last, by the way. Everyone else woke up a few days ago. Bit of a surprise, really - there's usually some attrition when the pods need to spit more than two or three people back out at the same time.

...Salvation could probably tell us herself, if we asked.
no subject
[He taps his communicator a little, clears his throat, and asks,]
My lady Salvation, if you are listening, could you kindly tell us how it came to be that you could revive me?
[If that doesn't work, he'll go inside and find a terminal, but this seems an efficient first step.]
no subject
[Salvation's voice comes clear across the communicator, as pleasantly neutral as ever.]
It allowed me to retrieve your data and restore you when you fell in the Wasteland.
no subject
Ah, yes! I remember that, though at the time I had not known what you meant. Would that be why I seem to remember dying twice, then?
no subject
I do not believe so. I will need to perform some diagnostics, but it is possible that your death in proximity to a vessel with similar capabilities to my own may have resulted in a minor temporal echo - in you recalling an event that occurred in the same location and position in the timestream, but on a different segment of the reality coil.

[By which he means 'I hung back to overload the ship to give him a head start', but shh, that doesn't need to be shared over the open network.]

[His expression is somber, even apologetic.]
I am sorry for my absence. I did not mean to worry you.
