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?"

"You've got a good heart, Alex. You wanted to help somebody, and being told that instinct was wrong... I know how that kind of thing hurts. We're all on edge, that's all." For different reasons, she acknowledges, but all the same. "If I don't find something I can actually do, I'm going to lose it as well. Something to fix, or build, or hell, to break. Anything, you know? It feels like we're just floating here, as much useless space junk as the place itself."

"Yeah." He says the word emphatically - in complete agreement. He feels useless as all hell. "I never like being grounded, but usually I know when the hell I'm gettin' back in the pilot's chair, after."

And she's aware she doesn't have the wanderlust Alex does, that need to fly around exploring. She flies out of necessity and wouldn't mind settling, if the time and place were right. If she still had something meaningful to do.
"Being trapped has a different feeling."

That hadn't gone well. For anyone.
"No. Me neither." Mars had been similar, but not the same. This, to be honest, creeped him the hell out. "But we got here somehow, so there's gotta be a way to get out of here, too. We just gotta find it."
