[ seeing someone he wanted to check on is a relief every time. he takes stock of the swishing head-tail, the signs of attempting to brute strength it through.

Hey. I tried to, uh. Send you one of the I.R.I.S. texts last night, but...
[ he smiles briefly at that, more understanding than happy. even having brushed death before—it is no less tragic. his feelings are weighed with grief. ]
I think we all feel that way.
[ it's not bitterness. it is regret, frustration. an aimless guilt. ]
[ he doesn't need names, but wow is that a bar group. he almost laughs, if not for how insane this past night has been. he could use a vacation. ]
At the showering area, with a number of people.
[ silly... ]
Dahut and Luke were at the observation deck lounge, as I've heard. ...I wish we had been able to reach them, but it sounds as though many people were already there.
[ he'll rest a hand on nodd's shoulder, sympathetic. ]
It sounds as though they tried, with the override attempt. Arthur told me that two were with him, when the doors shut—and that their efforts seemed genuine.
[ he is an optimist, more keen to have faith in people, but there is no sunniness in his observations today. just a sort of... hopeful expectation. ]
Still. It is clear things have gone astray. [ he doesn't want to be under contract either tbh!!! ]

I, for one, want to talk to those senior officers. They can't possibly think we're sticking it out for the contracts now.
