[A friend of yours is badly injured, and Uriah has agreed to help. His...green glowy stuff...seems to be stopping them from actually getting WORSE, but not properly healing them.]
I fear this injury is too great for my talents alone. I shall do what I can, but we must seek a more potent cure, or lose your friend to the darkness.

[Oh right also Uriah is an alien. Three arms, five red eyes, hooves, greenish-brown skin, three fingers per hand. Ever met an alien]
I apologize. I understand Vortigaunts may appear...unnerving to humans who have never encountered such entities. I mean you no harm.

I am called Uriah.

[Uriah is poking at some bit of technology. A plasma screen TV, perhaps.]
Truly, the humans' mastery of metals is astounding. I am in awe at your solutions to your short-comings.

-4-

[The only desperate plan anyone could come up with involves someone staying behind to die so everyone else can escape. Uriah raises a hand.]
I do not fear the interval of darkness. I would be honored to sacrifice this life, that you may escape.
