[ text message to ivan & gregor before miles gets in the transporter. he sends it at literally the last moment because he very nearly forgot. at least he didn't actually forget. ]

Ivan & Gregor - I'm joining the excursion to go down planet-side. Don't worry, I shouldn't be gone too long. I'll keep in touch.

[ the likelihood he'll actually be diligent about answering messages while he's engaged in something interesting is pretty low but hey, at least he let you guys know! ]

Miles, for God's sake, will you please be careful?

[forwardmomentum]

I'm with Captain Thán. I'll be fine.

[forwardmomentum]

I'm touched by your concern, though.

[lets_see_what_happens]

The Captain of the ship that kidnapped us? Yes, well, I feel much better, thank you.

I do worry about you, you know.

[forwardmomentum]

I think kidnapped is a strong word -- and anyway, the captains aren't any more in control of the Ingress than we are, let's face it. Besides, I've got a friend down here.

[forwardmomentum]

...I know. Look, I didn't tag along on this trip to get into trouble, I promise -- but if we're going to be kidnapped, I might as well get to see the sights. Besides, you spend a week in sanitation and see how stir crazy you get.

[lets_see_what_happens]

I thought that was your specialty.

...but honestly, I know you can handle yourself. That doesn't mean I don't worry. Just permit me my extremely rational and completely explicable neuroses, all right?

I'm trying to broaden my horizons a little. You sound exactly like Mother, you know that?
