For those who knew them: Tony Stark, Pepper Potts, Clark Kent, Scott Lang and Foggy Nelson are gone.

[ Bruce doesn't know whether or not to leave it at that. He wants to keep it a brief announcement, almost detached, but in the process he's making it fairly obvious that some of these people leaving has affected him a lot. But then again, that's why he went with text, so he can avoid any slip of his expression or tone of voice that might betray just how upset he is.

He doesn't really want to talk about it. Or maybe he does, but he doesn't know with whom, or how to bring it up. It's not like he's ever been the best at expressing himself.

Best to just leave it at that. Short and... not really sweet, no. ]

That's it.

At least we can take comfort in the fact they're probably back home now, and not stuck here.

[ They have to be, because Bruce can't even think of the alternatives. They're too terrifying. ]

Do you have other people here? Friends, people you're close to?

[knaval]

yeha i gues sso
i do
i have a few herer
do you?

[hyperkinesia]

I do, yes. Some from home and a few I befriended while here. I'm not alone. It was just a lot of people to disappear at once.

[ He's not even that shocked or immensely worried, more than that he's sad. But he'll work through it. ]

[knaval]

yeah i think i'm in the same situation
with the friends
thanks
i think i was focusing too much on the negative

[look at that he's even typing coherently!]

[hyperkinesia]

That's good. That you have good things to focus on. I'm sorry I can't offer anything more comforting than just telling you they're gone from the ship.

[ Impressive! Not that Bruce didn't understand him before, but still. ]

[knaval]

its okay
i'd rather be told than find out a worse way
so
thanks for letting us know
i guess

[hyperkinesia]

Don't mention it.

Let me know if you need anything, alright? Not sure if I'd be able to help but still.
I do run the science department so if you ever need something related, I'm around.

[knaval]

thanks bruce
i guess same to you??
i dont do anything cool like the science department but i'm out on the wings a lot
maybe i'll wave at you through one of the windows

[hyperkinesia]

That's somewhat relevant to the work done down at the department, actually. The wings are one of the main sources of the ship's power, after all.
You never know, we may just end up working together sometime, sooner rather than later. [ Hopefully not during some massive disaster with everything around them going to shit. ]

[knaval]

if u here tapping on the window tomorrow look outside
thats gonna be me
im gonna do it

[hyperkinesia]

[ That's too cute, Bruce can't help but smile at that. ]

I'll make sure to keep an eye out, then.
:)
