[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.

[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.

[At least, it's of great import to the guys who want to sit around and drink and watch. Gordon's sparse pad of an apartment has been stuffed with myriad folding chairs and portable seating, and the coffee table is strewn with snackable items that were generally unhealthy to a human but for some reason they crave it anyway. Gordon grabs a slice of pizza and throws himself back into the overstuffed sofa.]
I know this isn't exactly vortigaunt fare, but, uh... help yourself, I guess.

[Uriah peered at the snacks. Generally unappealing. The popcorn, however, was so generic and lacking in anything resembling nutrition that any carbon based life form could eat it without problem. Mmmmm. Starch and salt.]
Explain once more the nature of this contest.

It's a football game. [He begins around a mouthful of pizza.] General idea is that the team gets the ball into the opposing team's end zone to score points. They can carry and throw the ball, and kick it under certain circumstances. The starting formation before each play is where the strategy comes into it. [He points the half-eaten slice at the huddle breaking up into a geometric spatter of players across the field.]
