->'''Never answer a distress signal.''' Why would you ever go to a place where people are in trouble? In horror movies, "help!" doesn't translate to "our hyperdrive is on the fritz again." It means "no-one lived long enough to send this message." By the time you arrive, not only will everyone be dead, but whatever killed them will be hungry. This is precisely why caller ID was invented.
