[ Lazily looking up towards the sky. ] People can't die here either, I'm willing to guess. I saw someone who's chest was glitching as though packets of data were being reconstructed to create him. He was killed before he showed up though and seemed to think everyone else should have been dead as well.

Geez, if this is the afterlife, it's a pretty cruddy one...
