Pfthahaha! "Never thought you'd be worried", they say!

I watched you all dive into some creepy anomalous, whispering vortex of crumpled up ship junk and blink outta reality, I ain't just gonna shrug that off. There's so much more Points humour I gotta experience first!

For real, though, it's good to hear from you. You're honestly takin' the whole thing pretty well, considering how insane that is - keep doing that! We can chat about tinkerin' and things after you're all ok.

Now, the fact I got your message is good news. I'm able to sound the alarm and take the problem to Monty - I think we have a jump-capable ship or two under our flag. Maybe we can come to you fellas and pull you out, but you'd need some way to relay positional data to our hyperdrive. Ideally, you'll be able to find a way out on your own, but give me a holler if not and I'll fight to get things moving back here. Otherwise, I'll keep my ear open for ya.

And when it comes to your acquaintance... aah, I don't really know him personally, so I don't want to shoot from the hip. He seemed, I dunno... pretty much in crisis to me. Like he was ready to finally buy the farm, you know?

You're all still in one piece, right?
