[The ACE activates to show a brief video: the murky air of a contaminated hallway, occupied by a dark-armored shape with glowing red points of light. Those who know Rinzler will find the helmet-tilt plenty familiar. Those who aren't might wonder at the purpose: of the broadcast, or of the rattling whir of noise that fills the background of the feed. Both stare and sound will persist for several seconds before the video promptly shuts off.

Introductions clearly and obviously complete, Rinzler reverts to texting.]

Request data on available security personnel for groups: "away team", "home team".

Non-security combat functions also accepted.

[Just... skeptically.]

That rebreather you gave me still has plenty of air, so I should be fine for awhile yet. If we’re lucky, we’ll find more supplies deeper into the station.

If I don’t run into you by then, let me know when you catch up to the main group.

Acknowledged.

Stay near combat functions.

[Until he gets there.

Assuming he gets there.]
