I don't know where Xect is, haven't seen him on MSN so i'll make the Draugs go. Hope he doesn't mind.
Draug:<span style='color:brown'>[The Draug moves out of it's cover, it looks like a female human, her face is almost blocked out by her helmet which seems a little different to the standard Frontiersmen helmet, her body protected by a medium looking armour, it raises it arms and says;"my callsign's dea! i'm coming out, dont shoot! We're on the same team"]</span>
I'm not so sure xect will like that, I think he intended for us to have a great deal of difficulty matching the two sets up. We don't know why her speech was messed up so we probably shouldn't go there just yet

Besides thats Deaincaelos move so you can't edit it really and now that she's in plain sight you can hear her but the mechs of course will shoot her, hopefully Xect will appear sometime soon.
