[ Carter's just skimming, or-- well, he's going to, until he hears that voice, and everything just stops.

He's next to silent as he finds Kat, shoves the communicator at her with a low order, face blank. ]

I need a full readout on this now, Kat.

[ Kat takes the communicator wordlessly, diving into it without much of question. She only gets a few moments into her work before she pushes it away, a little less composed than she would have liked. ]

Commander, it's 293.

[ Thom-293. Their former Noble Six. And from her tone, she's pretty sure of it. ]

Here.

[ That's not a question, even if it starts out like one.

It's a little less steady than he'd have liked, either, because they'd both talked about it. They'd both considered the possibility that someday, maybe, they'd get their team back. Thom was one of the sorest spots, for both of them, but even thinking about Thom showing up here didn't come close to being faced with the reality of it. ]

...Understood. [ h-hhngnghhsf reaching for that device, pulling up a secure ( ... )

[Uh.]

Green.

[Mostly. Save the MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF CONFUSION he's currently undergoing. Brb, Carter, your Spartan needs a full systems reboot. THIS IS WHY MJOLNIR SHOULD NOT OPERATE ON WINDOWS OS, GUYS.]

All things considered, anyways.

[Nuke to the faaaaaaaace.]

[ :c Oh, he knows, baby. ]

I'm setting a marker for rally point Alpha, I want you to meet us there.

[ Much as small talk is something he'll want to get to, the most important thing is getting you out and here. ]

[THIS IS NOT GETTING ANY LESS CLANDESTINE if it talks like a Carter and squawks like a Carter... it's not a fucking chicken, jsyk.]

Roger that. ETA 480 seconds.

[But the bromance doesn't mean he's not gonna be prepared for an ambush, sir. no hard feelings man. :|]

[So the very first thing Emile learned here, having woken up in a hospital himself, was that people came back from the dead here. Hell, despite what Jun said, he still wasn't entirely convinced this wasn't the afterlife.

He shouldn't be surprised.

Emile taps his fingers. ..--- ...-- ----.

[He sees your ..., Emile, and raises you a slight indrawn breath that so does not make it onto the comms because he'd never live that moment of audible surprise down. Thom's always been pretty good with voices. The number is just proof positive.

Bemusement, thy name is.]

Could be. If the pay's any good.

Six.

[ Don't mind Jorge, he's just skimming this post and quietly wigging out. He knows the dead come back in this weirdass place, but this is still pushing it. ]

...Thom?

[THIS IS BECOMING COMMONPLACE. IT'S FUCKING RAINING TEAMMATES WHAT THE HELL.]

Jorge.

[Heeeeee feels like the Spartan that got his hand caught in the munitions dump and he can't even explain why. Maybe it's the way everyone's reacting, maybe it's the fact that hey, he was not expecting to ever hear from any of them ever again.]

Good to hear from you.

[don't mind him he's just. a little dazed.]

Thom. [ Wait, shit, already said that.

Likewise. Are you... all right?

[Jo-- NO HE IS NOT GETTING INTO THIS RIGHT NOW.]

Far as I can tell.

[No holes. Geiger counter isn't anywhere it shouldn't be. You know, the normal stuff.]

... You?

I know! There's something wrong with people who like white this much.

[Interior decorators needed? Jiji could not agree more. This place is ridiculously inconvenient by cat standards.]

And why all the walls? Nobody needs to wall off cities anymore. Geez, it's just insensitive. Not everyone's six feet tall you know!

Yeah. Some people are a lot bigger than that.

[He may or may not have mustered up a vaguely joking tone for that statement.]

Hmphf. Well we can't all be from the moon.

[Jiji briefly entertains the thought of being as tall as a Spartan. Catzilla attacks!]

Name's Jiji.

Who said you have to be from the moon?

[He's more likely to invite him to a knife fight in all truth.]

Couldn't agree with ya more there. Might not be the most unique person here though.

[Hey, man, be careful where you throw those combat propositions. You might just get your wish!]

I'm learning that.

Name's Thom. You are?
