[ So he's heard some vague horror stories about Gliese. Nothing concrete but definitely someone to look out for. Maybe that's why it takes a while to get to the right rover. It's not like he doesn't know where it is. But he's not exactly in any rush to get whatever comeuppance is coming to him.
So, yeah, half out of fear, half out of lackadaisical teenage flippancy that he shows up at the right place and raps his knuckles sharply against the door. A few times. A few times more. He's gonna do it until it opens. ]
Look no matter what flowers i end up giving her? theyre soooo not gonna help. Not to mention that theres like no freaking possible way i could get them in time
She asked for flowers. You try showing up with no flowers. And according to certain Sci-Fi tales, the only real danger on most alien worlds are which green lady to seduce first.
Hey Stiles. [ Oh god, why did she decide to make this personal and leave a voicemail? Right, because a text message would totally suck. Lydia knows this by experience, but of course now that she's started talking it's getting harder to go on. Good thing it's early enough that he didn't pick up. ] I don't know how to do this, so I'm just going to say, I'm sorry. You'll know why by now and probably hate me for it, but ... [ she pauses. ] Trust me on this, okay? Banshees should know more about their own death than anyone else. Not that I've been the most reliable one— God, that's not what I meant. Just— Don't do something stupid. You're smart, Stiles. Work this out for me, if I can't.

I can hear you judging me right now, Stiles. Just tell me how you make non-ET aliens calm down? Preferably without anymore human flesh.
