I...am not familiar with anyone by that name, but I do hope you hear from your friend soon. With what has been happening on the ship, I--

[there's a bit of a pause]

Each disappearance is now of concern.

[canadese]

[A pause on his end as well, and what sounds like an inhale.]

<Yes. However, I am confident that Marco is more than capable of taking care of himself.>

[juniberries]

You know your friend better than any of us. [so she's assuming, at least.] I hope he sees this and reaches out to you soon.

I know the network has a tendency to go haywire. It is entirely possible he's somewhere without communication.

[canadese]

<We have other means of getting in contact. I highly doubt he has just been lost.>

[juniberries]

Do you mean by telepathic communication?

[because that is 100% normal for her.]

[canadese]

<It is much more sophisticated than that [he says, defensively] but it is a similar principle.>

[juniberries]

In what way is it more sophisticated?

[canadese]

[It's more sophisticated in that telepathy is dumb and also shut up.]

<Thought-speak does not actually intrude on thoughts or read minds. This is a gross oversimplification, but it is a way of communicating without vocalization. Frankly I am amazed more species did not evolve this function.>

[So yeah basically telepathy.]
