[I.D. simply reads "Martin" now. and a Martin surely is at-hand! long time no see, network. only six-plus months long, nbd.

he looks fairly pleased and...relieved after a beat. because he's pretty sure he's figured this out.]

Hello... [his eyes wince. doubt.] Hello? [the screen tilts a little while he inspects something.]

I think this is right. It's been a long time since I've used one of these... [his stare trails away.] I took one of the new ones. I think that's alright, since mine's been gone for a long time...

[a beat. he looks back.]

Is everyone alright? Now that they're gone...

[he looks confused for a beat. them being...]

Oh. Yes, you're probably right. If there's always one for every new person...

[acemedium]

I bet they have a whole stash!

[acemedium]

The whole moving to the moon hing? Yeah, I think everyone feels that way.

It's only for now, though! [Hopefully]

Until everything can get fixed back in the Hold, right? All our things are down there...

[acemedium]

That's right! Think of this like a side-trip or something.

[theguideless]

[squinting a little.] How do I do that?
