[ She's been missing for two weeks, Ataraxion. Nearly two weeks, but you know--after the first week it gets a little daunting. For some reason that third...or was it eighth? God they jumped a lot--! knocked her more unawares than she'd been the first time. What she does know is this: nobody came for her, and even though she's damned well able to tell herself she needs no one, that hurts.
There was distraction enough though in the sheer mass of the ship itself. She'd started to count all of the restricted sections, doubling back in places, trying not to panic at the worst of times. She'd not realized before just how overwhelmingly alone a person could feel in the Tranquility, until then. As she neared the main social areas of the ship--by luck or perhaps the communicator decided to finally w o r k, damn it! -- she sends out a simple text message to whomever is there, and one to her brother. Locked.]

[ALL AROUND BITTERNESS--YES. Sorry, Ataraxion. Belarus can be subtle later. She is merely venting her frustrations and by no means willing to shank anyone that she comes across first.]
