He's gotten lost out there, alone. I'm talking to him not, trying to keep him calm, but I think he'd like to hear a familiar voice.

[Unseen, he's scribbling stay where you are on his forearm in bold black lettering.]

I - sure. Thanks. His comms fucked up too?

voice;

[cargojet]

It is. He's coming through some. Poor kid's terrified, but he's a brave one.

I wish I could give you some idea of where to look. [ Pause. ] You're still in the gardens, right? Don't suppose you could try and convince anyone there to stay put? It's the safest place on the ship in an emergency.

[Well now that he hears the phrase poor kid's terrified he's eager to hang right up. The next comes rapid-fire and impatient.]

Could. I'd have to do it in the next twelve hours. Usually take shit for paranoia, bottle's in my room. Got one spare right now.

... so, uh. [As much as he hates it:] Couldn't go lookin' for the kid even if I wanted to.

[cargojet]

Jesus. Well alright, just do me a favour and talk to the kid, okay? You should be able to reach him on his comm.

I'll tell Tyke getting someone there to look after him is top priority. I'd go myself, but... [ Too many responsibilities. He would be out there in a heartbeat otherwise. ] Damn it all to hell.

voice;

[handelaar]

Mm. Soon as I hang up.

Alright. He's got a lot of people, lookin' out for him - I'll talk to them.

voice;

[cargojet]

You do that. Let me know how things go, alright?

[ Nathan signs off. ]
