Well, this is the kind of situation Joseph Kinner was made for. He's been on polar expeditions in the past, and even though his expedition ended poorly he still has the skills and training necessary to help out if needed. In fact, he feels like he could help out in a pretty big way. The skinny cook comes forward, clearing his throat.

"If you need anyone on an expedition," he says, jabbing a thumb to his backpack, "I'll do what I can. I have served on an expedition team before, in a support role, and I've spent the past few weeks getting ready for somethin' like this. It is winter, after all. I can help find survivors if you need me to, and I'm a cook, so I can prepare food for them, too. I'll do anything you need me for."
