The hand that heals

[rewritable]

John relaxed back in his everyday posture,

"Ah, you are looking for the guy, too? Excellent, the crew started some search efforts already, but due to disease having struck more than half of them they're spread thinly with their primary duties already. So far they were only able to conclude that he definitely is not in any passenger cabin of Hawaii. That still leaves us with more than half of the ship."

John stepped towards nearby public computer terminal,

"You might be interested in a picture of him. We have a few taken with automated camera upon his arrival here."

A picture of men in late forties walking hurriedly down a hallway appears on screen, angle suggests it is taken from hallway's ceiling. He carries two large suitcases - one in each hand - and a sort of cube-shaped parcel wrapped in cloth under his right arm. A rather thick beard is the main facial feature, along with unruly brown hair. His eyes are hardly visible due to acute angle of the shot, but generally the image leaves an impression of a very tired man.

"May I ask, have you found anything of interest in your search so far?"
