( 003 ) T E X T → is it me you're looking for?

[ Olivia managed to find her way back after... actually, she has no idea how long it's been, but she knows it's been rough. The ship's far too big for her liking. She's showered and is currently making space toast in the kitchen on the seventh floor, hair still wet, and figures she'll check in while she's waiting for it to pop up. ]

Who wants to fill me in on what I've missed? Or, at the very least, how much time we've got before the next jump?

[ Scanning the network would probably be a good idea and she might do it later, but right now? She just wants a quick run down to get her bearings. And she figures she hasn't missed the jump since, you know, she's still alive. ]

FILTERED MESSAGE TO SECURITY MEMBERS | 100% ENCRYPTION

Sorry for disappearing on you guys. Any chance my position's still open?

END FILTER

ooc: feel free to action it up if your character's in/near the kitchen!

About a month, about a day and a half.

Good thing you found your way back.

[ That's Reaper for "I'm glad you're back and not dead somewhere". ]

[ She doesn't bother asking if he's kidding - she has a feeling that joking around isn't one of Reaper's strong suits - but she does stare at the first part of that message for a few moments to let it sink in. It's hard to believe it's been that long and much, much harder to believe she could've missed the jump entirely.

But she forces that thought away. ]

You could say that again. Did I miss anything exciting while I was on vacation?

Fairly quiet month, actually, so prepare yourself for whatever the hell is coming. Had some SEC business but Tyke or Edgeworth can give you the official briefing.

[ On the one hand, that's comforting because it means everyone else on the ship made it through easily enough. On the other, it would've been nice for her to miss something huge. ]

Being thankful that you and Tyke are still around probably ISN'T something I should admit to, but I am. I was afraid a lot would've changed when I got back.

[ Sorry Olivia. ]

Nah, we're still here. Not sure what would be considered a big change for you, but I don't think much has.

A sea of faces without a single familiar one in the bunch. I figure if there's at least a handful of people I recognize, I can deal with the rest.

In that case, happy to help.

I technically haven't seen your face yet.

It still looks the same, you know.

[ Smartass. ]

I don't know you well enough to just take your word on it.

[ Ta-da. ]

Better?

[ And, to be a pain the ass, Olivia sticks with text. ]

Much. Thank you.

[ Well then Reaper will just go back to text. ]

No problem.

[ She's a little disappointed - but not surprised - that he switched back so quickly. She won't dwell on it, though; knowing he's here and still himself is enough, even though she really doesn't know him all that well. ]

Any idea who's been covering my shifts?

[ Hey, you started it. ]

No. Might've been one of the new people.

I can't make the call myself, ma'am, but I can ask for you when I check in for my next shift.

[ Yeah, and it worked in her favor, at least for a couple moments. ]

I guess I'll find out when I talk to Tyke. As long as we weren't short-staffed, I won't worry too much.

[ Except for how she will; she hates leaving her job unattended, especially without warning. Taking a vacation day is practically unheard of for her. ]

I'd appreciate that. [ If she doesn't hear from Tyke before then, anyways. ] My name's Olivia Dunham.

I think we were pretty okay.

[ But then, he's used to a small team. Besides, he's not going to be mad at her for getting lost on the ship. It happens. ]

Glad to hear it.

[ Though that either means a lot of people haven't left or they've been replaced by others. She's not sure which option she prefers. ]

Steve Rogers. It's a pleasure to meet you, ma'am.

You too, Steve. How long have you been on board?
