[Maybe he should have expected this. Shuttle goes missing, time to look to the escaped convict hanging around in the rafters. When he replies he sounds amused, a light, almost mocking tone that's more reminiscent of their first conversation on Hades than anything since.]

There somewhere else you think I could be?

Maybe off getting more scars.

[ She hadn't wanted to think that it had been him. Hadn't wanted to, but she had, and now that she knows he's still here, she almost feels guilty.

Almost. Mostly, though, she's just mad about the shuttle. ]

Did you see anything?

If I did, what would you do about it? Shuttle's gone.

What I'd do would depend on what you saw.

Gonna try chasing after it, Carolyn? One shuttle. You don't even have enough pilots for the ones still here.

Not if it's going to take up our fuel reserves, no. But knowing who took it may help prevent it from happening again.

Not gonna matter, if they don't come back.

Might if someone else tries.

Had people try before. Stopping them didn't mean you stopped these ones. You're never gonna have this bay completely locked down.

Would you just answer the question?

No.

[Is that an answer or the answer? Who knows.]

[ Either way, it's not at all helpful. Carolyn sighs, though it sounds more like a groan, and doesn't push for anything else. ]
