[His awakening was rude, and he accesses the network in a panic, not really having thought.]

If anyone's listening, please respond...if you can. I don't know if this is another nightmare or...or what, but...we don't have much time. I don't...know what that means, but I can't stop thinking it. We have to hurry. We have to find the others.

[ It's a voice he's been dying to hear for over a week, and the moment he hears it, his heart leaps into his throat and he's filled with equal parts elation and worry. No one had seen him or heard from him, and the bloody scene of Aaron's disappearance has been one of the only things on Eric's mind. It was like he'd disappeared, though that couldn't have been right. Either way, he's been horrendously lonely without the other half of his heart. When he responds, he can't help his voice from cracking, and he's on the move, needing to get to wherever Aaron is immediately. ]

Aaron?! Babe.. Where are you? I'm on my way, just-- Are you hurt? Where have you been?

[Eric's voice was enough to calm him, at least slightly, and he breathed a sigh of relieve.]

Our pod. I'm okay, but I don't know. The others aren't safe. We have to find them.

[amorea_mortuus_sum]

[ Well, Aaron will probably be able to hear the sound of Eric running, because he's definitely booking it to their pod. ]

We've been looking for all of you all week... Just..don't leave. I promise I'll be there soon.

[ Desperate? Who's desperate? ]

[nobasisinfact]

Where are you?

[There's an urgent-ness to his question.]

audio

[customplates]

My pod...mine and Eric's pod. The others aren't, Richard. We have to find them.

Re: audio

[nobasisinfact]

Tell me everything you remember.

Aaron, thank god, you're safe! What happened? Where were you taken? How did you get back? [It all comes out in a rush. She'd been almost as worried as Eric, and ready to start drawing blood to get answers.]

Audio

[customplates]

Carol? I...don't remember a lot. I don't know where I was, or how I got back, but...wherever it was, the others are still trapped there. We have to find them.

Audio

[becauseyouhaveto]

Of course we do. We can't leave them. Do you remember what happened while you were...wherever you were?

Aaron?

Are you alright?

Where are you?

audio - un; Angel

[customplates]

I don't know, but that's not what's important right now.

[A beat.]

Home...the pod I share with Eric.

audio - un; Angel

[unknownmoirai]

Why isn't that important?

[She pauses, uncertainty turning uncomfortably in her chest.]

Do you need help? I can be there.

audio: marshes

[gristle]

Oh my god, Aaron. Can I come?

[Look. She's worried. However.]

In a little while?

[customplates]

Beverly? [You know, even after everything, he's still slightly surprised when new people express concern for him.]

Of course, but we shouldn't celebrate just yet.

Re: audio: marshes

[gristle]

Yeah obviously. I’ve been helping look for you! I’ll come over in a little while.

[This feels like a fair amount of deja vu. Jack's hackles are up, still wondering if Aaron is making things up, but everyone else is taking this seriously. So it must be real. He thinks.]

Are you hurt?

audio

[customplates]

No. At least...I don't think so. I feel fine...physically, anyway.

[belowthesea]

[A long pause, and he lets out a quiet sigh.]

I wanna help. Don't know how, though. If you- need something, I can do it.

[of_bokthersa]

Blood, injuries, anything of the sort?

[He can do small bandaging.]

[customplates]

No, physically, I'm fine.

[of_bokthersa]

And you're safe?

audio

[redhandle]

Where are you, Aaron?

audio

[customplates]

In my pod, Rick. It's where I woke up.

[spherenpc]

You're back. Okay. We're going to find them. I'm going to come and scan you and make sure you came back alright, alright?

[customplates]

["Make sure you came back alright."

Wait.]

Who are you?
