[For those uninitiated, suddenly experiencing thought-speak is probably pretty strange. It's sort-of-but-not-quite like telepathy, almost, and it's apparently coming out of your communicator. Weird!

The "voice," such as it is, sounds young, male, and somewhat wary.]

<Hello.

Does anyone here know what "protocol S-1704" is?>

Comments

[canadese]

<Yes.>

[He hesitates, but, well, Cassian has been nothing but trustworthy, and this is probably information he shouldn't just sit on.]

<It sounded like an emergency. It seemed to be a distress call requesting help from the ship.>

[ouzel]

[ Well. That's interesting. ]

Did they say anything else?

[ Maybe he should take his ship out and see if there's anything happening nearby.]

[canadese]

<I have a feeling the ship may be changing course in the near future.>

[ouzel]

[ Cassian takes a breath at that. ]

Interested in taking a ship outside to see what there is to be seen?

[canadese]

<Yes.>

[A beat.]

<Marco should come.>

[ouzel]

I didn't realize you knew each other.

Sure. Meet me in the hangar in say, twenty minutes?
