It felt a hell of a lot better, to have the three of them all together. Amos had a few days alone, and Alex was all too glad that hadn't been him. He'd only had a day to wonder how the hell he got there and where the rest of his crew was, before he found Amos. Then a couple days later they'd found Naomi. He was confident, now, that it was only a matter of time before they found the others - Holden and Prax. The cap and the plant guy. Alex hadn't even noticed when Prax had officially become someone he counted as crew. As family. It didn't matter. He was, now. And that meant that Alex was just as keen on finding him as he was on finding Holden.
He wanted to find the Roci, too, but he didn't have a hell of a lot of hope, for that one. Whoever or whatever had brought them here didn't seem too eager to give them a way out. He hated it - hated the idea that he was separated from her, that he didn't know where she was or who had her - but right now Holden and Prax were more important. Once they were all together, they could work on getting the ship back.
They'd started with the top floor and worked their way down. No door was left unopened (when they would open at all), no proverbial stone unturned. Despite the fact that they'd gone through a few floors, now, Alex was undeterred. They could still find them. And even if they didn't, that didn't mean they weren't on the station. Apollo's image had made it clear there was a hell of a lot more to this place than they had access to. So maybe they were being held somewhere else. But that didn't mean they weren't gonna try.
"Alright, I'll take this row," He said amiably, as if calling sides in a game of foot ball, walking towards a row of doors. He tried to open the first one, locked, and went for the next. "Anyone want to lay bets for what sort of person we accidentally walk in on, next?"

My squad, sure, but they were relying on me and I let them down. I survived because of a fluke, and I couldn't even protect them.
no subject
I've seen what those things can do. The one we got ripped through an entire science team and and airlock. We were damn lucky, to get out of that alive.
You were damn lucky, too. But I'll bet you just about anything that not a soul on your squad would begrudge you that luck, Gunny. You can do their memory proud.
no subject
I hope so. We need to figure out what those things are before this gets worse.
no subject
Yeah.
I've been tryin' not to think too hard about what's goin' on back there, to be honest. I just hope that people can start t' see sense.
Maybe they won't make more of them. [ It was a fool's hope. ]

[But she knows as well as he does that there's no way they won't.]
I'd take anything right now, even just knowing what system we're in.
no subject
Trust me, I know that feelin'. But we ain't anywhere in the neighbourhood, I can tell you that much.
no subject
[Please appreciate her dumb joke. She gives his hand one last squeeze before finally pulling away.]
We'll figure something out.
no subject
Yeah. Same shit, different system.
And we'll deal with it, all the same.
