[ The video was just going to flicker for a few moments before finally settling on a proper image. The image cleared to show a corner of a room. By the look of it, it was properly one of the upper levels that did'nt get many visitors. It looks like someone had made there own version of a nest, one of the mattresses from the bunkers pressed into the corner. There was even some rubbish littered around the place. The owner had clearly made there own private home. The video where it rested as Peter flopped himself down in front of it. His hair longer and possibly more wild since the last time he'd appeared on the video. His shirt was crinkled but more or less clean enough considering how long the last jump was.

Peter stared at the screen for a few moments before speaking.]

...I'm going to need a favor.

[ There was a little sigh at that as Peter reached up and slipped his hand behind his ear.]

And I hate asking for favors.

[ It isn't so much that Darcy is tired of arguing or insisting, but that she's had some of the urge to be over the top about it drained out of her in this moment of seriousness. Instead of more vocal assurance, all Peter gets is a nod. Yes, she's sure. ]

Jane. My friend. She arrived with me, but she... It's like she disappeared. I guess that's supposed to be normal around here.

[ He's just going to let it drop at that nod then. Right. Good. At least someone will be here to drag his exhausted naked body back to whatever the nearest bed is. ]

The scientist? Yeah. They...People come and go. Sort of a drag at times. I mean, I don't really have anyone to come sliding out of the tanks for me. So. Those jumps don't mean as a much for me.

Yeah, that's her. I hear that people disappear all the time, but... We arrived together, and I'm still here. I thought- [ She shakes her head and frowns. ] Doesn't matter. I can't change it.

You've got me now. So, there's that? [ Look, she's trying to make things suck less. Even if she's not great at it. ]

It's not like they chose to go Darcy.

[ At least he's gathered that much. Peter stares into the video for a few moments before he nodded a few times.] All right. You can watch. Just get that gun.

And don't crowd me when it happens. I'm glad I have you.

Really.
