[Clean up has been rough to say the least. The place is still stained, and it might never come out. But this is when she realizes what's happened. She calls them, and they don't answer. She goes to their rooms, and the places are empty. They're gone.

She doesn't trash her room, or break down. Though it's a near thing. It stays a near thing, hovering just under the surface when she turns on her comm. She looks worried, distressed, but she holds onto her calm with both hands.]

Red Fish crew... This is your captain. I need you all to check in. Now preferably.

Actually, everyone I know, please check in. I need to see who's still here.

[The why. She should tell people why. They have other friends.]

Zhas and Coil are both gone.

[Shit! She will not cry. She swallows and her eyes are moist but she doesn't cry. ]

Just say something. Please.

I am now, my cousins took good care of me. Are you?

Were you hurt?

[Instant concern, even if it's late.]

I was... careless.

[She tilts her head, her expression gentle and clearly not believing he'd be the careless type.]

In what way?

{Fingon looks rather embarrassed, perhaps even a bit resigned.}

I had my back to the door when a raider came upon me. I did not react as swift as I have in the past.

I think you judge yourself too harshly, my lord. We cannot always see everywhere at once. Unless you're a Beholder.

[She's attempt to make a little joke there, but he's not likely to know what a Beholder is. Ah well, it's the thought that counts, yes?]

{The Elf smiles, ducking his head in thanks.}

You are very kind to say so, my lady! I should still have had a better grasp of my surroundings - I knew we had been boarded.

You've lived to correct it for next time, and that is nothing to turn your nose up at.

[She's not going to let him get down on himself. Things happen.]

I assure you I do not dismiss my survival! And I will indeed not make the same mistake again.
