[HELLO SWEET ANISE!!! This can be after the Npc 2 Electric Boogaloo why not. Luke is just hanging out here in the lounge, typing away on his I.R.I.S.--he looks up to smile at her.]
Just checking in! I don't think you need me to worry too much. [At least in the sense of, she doesn't seem like she's about to have panic attacks? Honestly most people here have been an almost concerning level of well-adjusted, he expected a lot more of Lucien-brand screaming in the bathroom.
Anyway, she can take a look! It's just a long line of code.]
I'm just taking some notes, for now. I don't want to try hacking into the system again until I'm sure I've got something that will work, but I'm jotting down ideas.
Mm... I mean, with the right equipment, sure. [Okay Mr. Confident] But I'm just working on communications. If I can get in touch with my team, they'll be able to help.
I'm not sure. But if we're close enough to a satellite, I can probably go from there... or, I can take a look at how the ship stays in touch with Nut & Bolt, and adjust their systems. This isn't really my area of expertise, though, so I have to be careful.
[Lest he fuck something up majorly and get them stranded forever, which would be super embarrassing.
At her question, he makes a face.]
They're fine. Good enough at their jobs, I guess. [Luke don't be a baby]
Well... on my current team, one's a lawyer. One's a doctor. And one isn't good for anything but being rich. [STOP. He brightens up, then.] And one is... someone I've known my whole life! She's a lawyer too--she's amazing.
[These are not technically his real coworkers but we only ever meet like. One of them. So whatever.]
Of course I do! We grew up together. But it's--not like that. [Does the childhood friend route ever truly win. He clears his throat, pretending his ears aren't red.] A--Anyway, it's a pretty good team. There's a little friction sometimes, but it's like that with any group.
Well... there's the fun-but-scary Colonel, a princess with no common sense, the totally-gorgeous and cold-on-the-outside-but-actual-total-softie Tear, and Guy with his women problems, and Luke, who's about to get a billion wrinkles because he's always having some kind of existential crisis...
Yep! I was on an important diplomatic mission! Which kinda snowballed into a bunch of other things, and before I knew it, I'd basically circled the whole world!
I did get to stop by home now and then to visit my parents, so I wasn't gone the whole time. I start to worry about them whenever I'm away for too long...

That's really sweet of you. The girl I grew up with, she's the same way... she even goes back and checks on our old neighbors.
