–omeone...

[a beat, a breath heavily drawn and shakily exhaled. sentences are punctuated with overlong breaks.]

Help me understand. Not one person I have spoken to recalls this mission...But she is still gone. [breath.] Physis is. Others, perhaps? I don't know. No one has any recollection...

[andagain]

Hey- you alright? Who else has gone missing so far? What's going on?

[His voice echoes his worried words and he is a little tense.]

[firstroar]

[fighting down a no, holding his breath for a beat before letting it out heavily.]

Physis. She's missing. I have to find her.

[andagain]

Where did you last see her?

[He looks ready to jump up and help right now, pushing himself up out of a chair.]

[firstroar]

Days ago. Five... [breath.] I should've questioned sooner.

[andagain]

And where did you spot her last?

[firstroar]

Once she had entered the halls leading to the transporter, my mind left her there. Certain.

[so it's his fault.]

[andagain]

Ah!

[He puts his hands on his hips and gives a reassuring smile.]

Then we should ask those on duty in the Iniative regarding her whereabouts.

[firstroar]

Again. [grim.] If, perhaps, you learn something I have not...

[andagain]

If I do, I'll be sure to let you as soon as possible.

[firstroar]

Please... [it sounds weary, but earnest.]
