[The feed begins with a little stumble, English accent mixed with something else. A bit southern European, to those paying close attention.]

Hi. Uhm - [ahem.] Hey. I know there's no way out or anything, I'm not - I don't want to ask about going back home, but - is there - [stop. Breathe, Andy. Try again.] Is there a way of knowing if your loved ones are all right? If they'll be all right? It's just that I don't... want them to worry. Don't want her to worry.

[Anyway.]

Sorry, I have no idea if this has been asked before. I-I can't really work with this thing yet.

Things... things are happening back home, and I just wanted -

[Gaah. Another breath.]

Sorry. I appreciate any help.

[chuffle]

I don't know.

If you find out, share.

You're worried about your family, huh?

[endeavors]

Yeah. Pretty worried, but - they might have more reasons to be worried about me. I guess.

[Buh.]

I'll - definitely share. If I find out.

[chuffle]

I'm sure they'll be fine.

[endeavors]

Oh - I hope so. I don't know what I'll do otherwise.

[ text ] sorry bro

[sexting]

No. No way of knowing at all, not until they turn up here as well and then you will just wish that you never saw them again

[endeavors]

[HIS HOPES AND DREAMS, CAM]

You're sure? I mean - you've tried it before?

[sexting]

[ yes they were delicious ]

Others have, to no avail. And trust me, you will not want to wish this damn boat on anyone that you care for. They are far better off where they are

[endeavors]

No, I'm not - I'm not saying I would. I mean - I guess no one wants to be alone, but if there's a chance I'll go home - I mean, even if there... isn't. [The last word leaves him with an exhale, momentarily refusing to think he's stuck here forever. Denial is still comfortable and strong.] They're better off where they are, definitely.

This was just so sudden, so I was hoping I could just - tell them.

[petitehands]

I'm afraid a consequence of being here is being in the dark with regards to just about everything, but for what it's worth, whoever you're worried about - I'm sure they'll be okay.

[ She smiles, reassuringly. ]

When I first came here, people I know had already been here for months, and it didn't seem to affect anything about our lives back home.

[endeavors]

[... you actually manage to make it sound a bit comforting, lady. Points for you.]

I - you're sure? Absolutely sure.

[petitehands]

I'm sure. We've lived exactly the same lives, with the exception that we've arrived here at different points.

[endeavors]

That's so weird.

[harriedosborn]

I don't think so. Not that I've heard.

What are you worried about?

HI GABBIE HI

[endeavors]

[a soft sigh.]

I left my family behind.

OH MAN HELLO!!

[harriedosborn]

I thought we all did.

[endeavors]

You're - [He exhales.] Yeah. You're right.

[wolfsmother]

Who'd you leave behind?

[endeavors]

I was with my brother and mother, and - the rest of my family. In Portugal, I mean. I left my wife and son behind in the UK.

[wolfsmother]

[ there's a momentary pause, and even without the video feed connected, the tight, worn smile can be heard in her voice. ]

It's always hard, when you aren't there to keep an eye on them.
Just have to hope they have your strength. And you've got theirs.

[abrahamic]

sorry about your being stuck here. i don't know if it helps, but maybe they might end up finding their way here?

[endeavors]

its ok

but i think i would rather let them stay where they are.....

[abrahamic]

yeah, being in space is 50% horror most of the time, anyway.
is anyone sick back home, especially?

[reticencies]

I'm not too sure but I think they should since time seems to work differently here.

[endeavors]

Yeah. I've been told. [with an exhale,] It's pretty weird.

[reticencies]

Yeah, definitely weird but it answers your question at least.
