001: Alex, Bobbie and Amos are Judging You
The Martians and the Earther are sitting at a table in the Mess Hall, and they've started a game. That game? To rate everyone else on the ship in order of attractiveness. Want to be rated? Find the comment header below, drop a picture in of your character, and watch the comments fly. Feel free to overhear them and give them hell.
002: Closed, Alex >> Frank
Going on the morning walk-about to search for Holden was ritual, at this point, and Alex was very used to Frank coming over first thing before they headed out. So the door was already open, waiting for him. Alex was fishing through his drawers, trying to find where he'd stashed that singular glove that he'd found, to show him for a laugh. But instead his fingers found something else - a thin sheet of plastic, creased and bent a hundred thousand times, and Alex's heart nearly stopped.
He pulled it out of the drawer like it was made of plutonium, careful not to touch the edges of the drawer with it.
Christ. Oh, Christ.
003: Open, Alex >> Anyone who wants to find this wrecked man.
He goes straight to the bar.
It's not that he isn't a fairly regular fixture there, anyway, but especially right now, all he really wants is to drink until he numbs everything. So hi, have a depressed Martian with a bottle of who knows what, sitting at the bar and just staring at a picture of a woman and a child smiling lovingly at the camera. He keeps stroking his thumb over it, then looking wrecked and saying something like 'god damn it' under his breath before he pours himself another drink. One of his arms is still wrapped up in a sling against his chest.
If he recognizes you, he might look up when you get close, and sigh. "Hey, partner. Everythin' alright?" Because it's a lot easier to worry about other people, than to keep being miserable about yourself.

"I don't know. I don't know a damn thing."
He let out a hard breath, then carefully picked up the picture, sliding it into his breast pocket, to sit alongside the ring that still lay there.
"Sorry, Gunny. You're right. Need to just - focus on what we're doin'. I just - I feel like maybe I got too comfortable, for a second, and then whoever it is that's doin' this to us just - went and shoved the knife in."

"We've got the rings back up and running again. That's a step forward. Give yourself a break for a night."

They got the rings working, but they're still no closer to getting the hell out of here. And he should be, he should be working damn hard to get out of here, whether they've found Holden or not. He should be doing anything to get back to his family.
His shoulders slump as he holds the empty glass and stares down into it.
"... Yeah."
