[ It's a while before she replies and realizes she should check if she has any messages.

The fact that Maya has been trying to get a hold of her leaves a small lump of guilt. And she doesn't even have good news to give the girl.
Maybe Maya will be satisfied with a text back. She could find a corner and call, somehow they've maintained network access and little else, but things are too cramped and noisy from everyone settling as best they can. ]

You really think I'm enjoying being in a cramped room with a bunch of-- [ Are people listening to her? Can they hear her? Ugh whatever better to be semi civil. ]
I'm not involved by choice. Asshole.

[Okay, he had a whole rant about getting dragged into bullshit wars they shouldn't have been a part of to begin with ready to go. In fact, he was almost itching to bring up the whole abandoning your team to fly off and end the war in what amounted to a suicide run, but...]
Holy shit! You got kidnapped?

He's going to have a helluva time with that depending on who it is.

I noticed. Tell him over that link of yours so he can't pretend he didn't see my message. I'll give him a ride.
