“Thanks for the warning. I’d pass it along if I wasn’t, y’know, dead.”

Kinner swallows hard - he had no idea there were so many monsters lurking in the ice, and he wouldn’t have come if he’d known. Maybe he could pass this information on to Palmer, or Alex, someone who knew more about monsters.

“What does Zhar, uh, look like?” Kinner doesn’t think the Thing is the same creature. “Ours came in a spaceship and was frozen in the ice, so I think they’re different.”

Kinner won’t be returning to his world because he’s dead, and it’s a fair guess Commander Garry has his own issues. However, if he could he would issue a warning to his team.

“You must have a lotta kids,” he says, impressed.

And he thought he had a big family.
