[Spock has been fiddling with his equipment for a while, going over his tricorder readings and such. On a whim, he decides to try his communicator, even though it is totally illogical. After all, no one would be there to answer, if his theories are correct.]
This is Spock calling Enterprise. Come in, Enterprise.
[His brow furrows slightly as he looks at it. He could have sworn that at various points he had heard noises, possibly speech coming from it, but that was impossible, after all.]
Spock calling Enterprise. Lt. Uhura, Captain Kirk, do you read me?
[He sighs then puts it aside, but leaves it open. Why he does it, he does not know. Perhaps it is the hopes of a familiar voice coming from it. Or any voice, really. But why should it?]

[Kaidan doesn't have real live Vulcans running around where he's from, but the shift between calm to emotive doesn't really need familiarity with them to peg as atypical.]
Finding people here that you already know isn't uncommon -- I woke up around the same time as a friend, and our old CO was already here. Here, in this case, is a planet called Verdana. They seem to have or have had some sort of spaceflight capability in the past, since they're apparently in an inter-generational war with a sister planet called Antiqua, but the hostilities aren't really open at the moment -- the population retreated behind large energy domes, and they stay there, by and large, and reserve their shooting for the people, like us, who are outside of them.
[He pauses then, waiting to see how this introductory information will be absorbed before adding more.]
Your friend Jim's been working to lead an expedition out to some old ruins.
Re: [Video]
I am fine. Kirk and I are... close friends, and hearing that he might be here momentarily excited me.
[He contemplates the information he has just received, and is relieved to find that this planet has acheived spaceflight, so the Prime Directive will not be an issue. Although he still feels he must be cautious about what he shares with the locals.]
Do you have any estimate as to how long the expedition will be gone?

[The smartest course for dealing with that flustering, Kaidan decides, is just to move on ahead and pretend it didn't happen. (It works for him, after all.)]
They're due to pull out in a few days, but if you can't pin him down before that, they'll probably keep their connection to the communication network while they're away -- people who've taken trade trips out to the nearest port have stayed in the loop. Although...
[He pauses for a moment, adjusting some setting on his end, by the abstracted look on the screen.]
The Outer Authorities -- the enforcers for the totalitarian regime that's going on inside the dome -- do monitor the public broadcasts on these devices. So don't say anything critical across the feeds.
