[ Far more open and blatant than he'd ever been before, but he's running out of time. He simply can't afford to be discrete any longer. Just before he ends the transmission, something occurs to him: ]
--Ah. I've heard that I've been here before. If you once knew me, I'd also like to meet. Thank you.
