Technology is typically the way to go if you'd like to try talking to Elias. Message yourself on your laptop, or talk into the radio. He'll answer. You don't have to do anything you don't want to.

Take your time, okay? It's not like becoming allies with a god is a decision you can't walk back from, exactly, but Still, it's better to think it over.

... He can't lie. Even if lying might get Elias a new ally, he can't lie about this.]
If we find a safe power source, it will be used for our portal first.

I need to think about this.
Thank you for answering my questions. I know this all must be strange.

I'm happy to help when possible.

I don't think I really want to act rashly about something like this.

I really appreciate you taking time out to talk to me like this.
<marco>
Let me know if you need anything else.
