"Please ... please hurry. My suit's almost out of air."
"I'm almost to you. I've just left my buggy at the gate you described. How in the world did you find these ruins?"
"Keep going ... there's a fountain up ahead. I'm ... leaning against the side facing away from you."
"I can see the fountain. I'm approaching you now."
"Thank you. Thank you. I thought I was going to die out here."
"Uh ... there's nothing here. Is ... are there more fountains?"
"..."
"Hello?"
"Sucker."

You can see a fountain (empty) here.
