[Hey Tranquility. This is a face that's been kind of missing for a while, and boy does he look tired. Tired and worn and just kind of like a kid who's seen way too much shit in way too short a time.]

Hey, um. [Well, that's eloquent. And kind of scratchy, like he hasn't actually spoken in a few days. He clears his throat, shifts around a bit, and tries again.] I'm back, sorry... for disappearing, I guess. We got stuck in a weird part of the ship when lockdown hit.

[There's a long bit of silence where James just kind of looks off to the side of his communicator, spacing out. And it's more than obvious that he's pale, with dark circles under his eyes. A bit gaunt from not really being able to find much food from his little getting lost thing.]

Libby's... gone. And I found... if I can just- if a Miles and a Jesse who knew her can get in touch, that'd be... she told me to tell you.

[For now, he's saying nothing about the latest addition to his room.]

[The mask... is weird, James'll give him that. But he's pretty determined to just... ignore it. Leave it alone. Pretend like it doesn't exist and maybe, just maybe it'll go away.]

Didn't mean to worry anyone, we just got stuck behind a door when the power went out. [He hesitates, though, glancing up at the image of Steve on his communicator, weighing his options and...] ... I'll get there. I'm not hurt, at least.

A lot happened in the chaos, just glad you're safe and the worst you had was a locked door. [ He means it, but as light as he tries to deliver it, it falls short.

He nods, listening, eyes flickering to the mask. ] You see something you'd rather forget?
