This is Dylan Hunt. My first officer, Gaheris Rhade, left to explore the Wasteland three days ago and I haven't had a communication from him since. I'm going after him. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, from spare water cans to take with me to advice on your personal favorite desert survival techniques.

I think I can help you with both of those.

...I wondered why I hadn't seen him recently. Are you going to need someone to come with you?

[hunt4commonwealth]

Thank you. Diziet, right?

I don't want to put anyone else in danger. [He feels it's his fault that Rhade's potentially in danger now.]

[diziet_sma]

That's right. A pleasure to finally talk with you. I consider Rhade a friend.

Are you sure? If it's dangerous, you might not want to go alone.

[hunt4commonwealth]

He's mentioned you. I think he considers you a friend as well.

[The sensible thing would be to take someone along. He'd be furious at a subordinate for going it alone and putting him or herself in more danger than necessary by not bringing backup. But he feels that this is his fault, his responsibility, and if anyone else got hurt because of it, he wouldn't be able to forgive himself.]

I'm sure.

[diziet_sma]

...All right. Just—take a signal flare or something? I'll keep an eye out.

[hunt4commonwealth]

I will. And thank you.

[diziet_sma]

Good luck.

...I hope you find him soon.
