[Blake's not using video today - he's still feeling the effects of the illness he contracted after that rat bit him, and he's tired, and he's not interested in showing the entire ship the bags under his eyes. So it's just voice today.]

Blake here. We've been testing the elevators, since Ianto made his post. They all seem to be working now, but I still recommend exercising caution - go with a friend, if you can, and report any possible malfunctions to engineering ASAP.

[That's out of the way, at least. And now for a slight change of subject:]

The jump is in a few days. I know a lot of people are still recovering from what happened. If you're not already in the med bay, and you need help getting to the pods, please ask for help. I know there are a lot of lone ranger-types around here, but maintaining your pride doesn't mean anything if it kills you. For those new this cycle, yes, I'm completely serious - if you're not in a pod when the jump happens, you will be killed. Whether you think this place is real or not, when people die here, they're definitely dead, so don't be stupid about it. If you can't find a friend or acquaintance to help you get there on time, ask someone on security. We'll give you an escort.

We don't have to like each other - but we do need to communicate and cooperate with each other, if we want to live long enough to get back to our homes.

Has Crane been accounted for since the elevator malfunctions?

[ you're such a boy scout, detective. ]

No, I honestly can't say that I've seen him, Detective.

[ which is fine with her. ]

Does that make you sad?

[He'd like to never have to deal with Crane again.]

It makes me nervous. If he's on the ship, I want to know where. I haven't seen him in the med bay, but I've also been under the weather lately.

Well, if you weren't able to get some type of response from his communicator, you should just assume that he is yet again gone.

[ again, that is fine with her. ]

What about your other little bat friend - have you seen or heard from her lately?

Can't just ping his communicator. He doesn't know I'm aware of his presence here.

[But it's becoming obvious that he's gone again, anyway. So whatever.]

I did ping Stephanie, and she is gone.

[And that does make him a little sad. She made him pancakes once.]

Well I suppose we just need to keep our eyes out for the people he was close to here.

[ she knows there was a few (tate being one). ]

Perhaps you can see just what he was telling people here?

[ because, yes, she knows crane told bruce something about his future. ]

You think we're going to heel it back to our bergs?

I think assuming we never will is self-defeating.

Or realistic. No way off of this boat unless we disappear or die.

Like I said, self-defeating. I'd rather keep trying to find a way home, even if I never succeed, than assume it's impossible, not try, and miss a chance. Follow your reasoning to its logical conclusion, and we might as well all kill ourselves now, if there's no hope.

But there's always hope.

Here's to hoping everyone takes your advice.

Some people might. Not all of them will, though. Back home, we call it covering our ass.

Well, naturally.

Better safe than sorry.

Whether they like it or not.

How are you?

Hi Nill.

I got sick, but I'm getting better. What about you?

I did not get sick.
Is there anything I can do?

I'm glad. It's not very fun.

I think my friend Ariadne might be in the kitchen a little later. Maybe you could help her, if you wanted?

It seems to bring one ill thing after the other.
[ he's quiet, subdued, even. ]

Are you, yourself, alright?

The whole place does seem kinda rigged against us. [He says that with a bit of a sardonic undertone.]

I'm okay. Are all your people accounted for?

Many places seem to be, I've learned.

[ rueful, before he pauses ]

Yes, many more than there were before. Some..I did not think to see again.

Really? [Blake isn't sure if that's good or bad, or at least, how Frodo perceives it.]

Sometimes it can help to have people you know from home. [Well, that's one way of thinking about it, anyway.]

Gone. Case sole remaining possession--contains empty canisters, traces of toxin present. While Crane is gone, the possibility remains that he may have circulated the toxin prior to his disappearance.

One less thing to worry about, I guess. For now.

Is there a way we could test for that?

If it were in the air, we'd know about it. No tests necessary.

And the water? I've read the case files.
