TAB - Video
[ When the video clicks on, immediately the scene on display is a modest sized farmhouse with what look like orchards in the distance. From the fairly temperate looking climate a good guess would be that this is on Kauto.
The video turns about, giving a flash of a large block of wood and what looks like smaller pieces scattered around it. Good guess is that someone is chopping wood but has taken a break for the moment. This is born out when Adrien's face comes into the feed, the doctor is dressed in a t-shirt rather than his usual uniform.
Slightly out of breath, his dark hair is plastered to his face at the temples and forehead. Yep, someone has been chopping wood, rather aggressively if the sweat is anything to go by. ]
I'll keep this short and to the point. [ Par for the course. ] For what it's worth to those you who are accident prone or otherwise given to ending up injured, I've applied for duties at the local hospital in Region One. [ He doesn't expect he's the only one but he'll let Angela and Alva speak for themselves. ]
I'm also -and I can't believe these words are leaving my mouth- using some of the equipment salvaged from the MedBay on the Moira to equip a private practice here at this location. [ He made a vague motion in the direction of the house. ]
If anyone feels more comfortable ... [ These words are delivered in a neutral, non-judgmental tone. The Savrii have been nothing but generous to this point and this is not to suggest there is a problem. Rather, he knows what it's like to be paranoid as fuck. ] ... well, what's the saying? The devil you know?
[ Pausing for a drink of water, he fiddles for a moment with the bottle, before gazing up and over the top of the device, his eyes obviously scanning the landscape for something. He takes a breath, stops the words but then quickly finishes. ]
Uhhm ... I'm not sure, who else is on Kauto but ... has anyone happened to seen Courser in the past couple of days?
[ Though his tone is level, to anyone who knows him well, there is a definite edge of anxiety in his voice and in his expression. ]

[ So two night cycles, two day cycles and a partial day cycle. ]
He's never gone this long off on his own, not without so much as a brief check in. Even when we were on that planet where we lost a year, he came by regularly.
[ Or at least had seemed too. Adrien was wracking his brain, trying to remember that muddled period and while he couldn't say with absolute certainty that Courser had come by every X hours, he remembered a regular sense of pleasure when the bahari had checked in on him. ]

Still doesn't mean he hadn't worried, and there had been times when it hadn't ended well. Not that he's going to assume the worst for Adrien just yet. Besides, Courser looks like he could defend himself. ]
And where were you the last time you were with him?
[ That should narrow it down a little, although a four-legged animal could move a long distance in eighty hours. ]
Dusty tag is dusty, no expectation of continuing if this is too old!!
[ It was frustrating, mostly aimed at himself, the way Adrien had let himself grow so complacent about Courser's steady presence. He should have recognized sooner that his companion had been out of sight for longer than was normal. He should have ...
Well it was a laundry list that Adrien kept pummeling himself with as he cycled through trying to assure himself it would be alright, and worrying that something horrible had happened. ]
