[Jack tries not to poke his head in where it doesn't belong, and he tries to let his friends be their own people. But he hasn't seen Tosh since the jump, and since it's been a week now, he's assuming the worst. People have gone off wandering into the depths of the ship though, maybe she's headed that way? Point is, they haven't seen or heard from her in over a week and that's unnerving for him.]

Has anyone out there seen Tosh lately? Toshiko Sato? Gorgeous Asian girl, works in communications?

[He smiles to hide the fact that he's worried, though if you know him, you can definitely tell. Hell, even if you don't know him, you can probably tell as well.]

I thought it was just us. I mean, I coulda understood if she'd gotten tired of us and gone off to do her own thing, but...

[ No, not really, but it's the kind of lie you tell yourself. ]

Damn it.

No. I was kind of hoping that she'd just lost her mind and chained herself to her desk, but. Sounds like you haven't seen her lately either.

[Damn it just about sums it up, yeah. All signs are pointing to her having disappeared at the last jump, but he doesn't want to believe it. Not Tosh. They can't have let her return to her death. He didn't even get to say goodbye...]

If you need to talk about it... I'm gonna say a few words at chapel tomorrow about her dedication, how much she gave to the people on the ship, even if they didn't know it.

I uh... The memorial wall she was keeping up to date. It ought to be maintained by someone who understood how much work she put into it.

At chapel? [He laughs, and the noise is a mirthless.] I'm not really the chapel-going type, myself... [He pauses, for a moment.] But. If you're saying a few words about Tosh. I can make an exception, I guess.

She's my friend from back home. I know what happens to her when she goes back, and. I was hoping that's wasn't what had happened.

Then do come by. It's not the religious aspects we meet for. I mean, it's part of it, but you can take it or leave it. I'll take over the board if it's not your thing.

[ Nathan hesitates, expression turning grim. ]

I'm sorry to hear that. Maybe... Maybe she'll come back. Or maybe she's still out there--that's what you're thinking, right?

That's exactly what I'm thinking.

[And hoping. Because the alternative...]
