probably paranoid (video/action)

Who: Billy Cranston and anyone!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: S.S. Red Fish
When: July 9th, the return to the ship

[Billy is relieved to be back on the Red Fish, and that thought depresses him slightly. But that relief is fleeting. Much to the annoyance of his crewmates, he immediately rolls up his sleeves and gets to work---but not without contacting the rest of the crew first.]

Hello again, everyone. I'm not exactly sure I'm glad to be back here, but it's...almost comforting, isn't it? After everything, and what we now have to live with it might not be, but...

We've been absent from our vessels for a long time, and that's more than long enough for strange things to happen to them. Has anyone found any changes to themselves or their ships that they didn't apply for? Or has that happened in the past? Too many possibilities to think about.

[He signs off and continues his search. Of course, Billy could always be stopped from noticing changes thanks to the augment, but he still has to try. He'll continue to bother his crewmates with his hurried panel-tinkering, and they may notice that his movements are quick and jerky, almost as if he's over-caffeinated.]

So do I.

My shipmates are my new team, and I appreciate them, but...it's not the same thing. It really can't be.

So we just have to try.

I understand that sentiment well. There are different levels of camaraderie and I don't think anyone can really replace the ones who you're closest to and learned to trust over time.

Trying isn't all that bad, either.

But I'd do almost anything for my partner to be here.

I understand, and I hope you find them soon. Either here, or, hopefully, finding yourself at home with them.

Same to you and everyone else here.
