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.

[He cups a handful of ashes from a cold brazier in the corner, and blows them over the ink to make it finish drying, so it won't smudge. He keeps his eyes on the task.]

Rhade was one of the first people I met here, before we even found our way off the ship. I hope you find him.

[After a pause, he starts dusting the ashes off carefully.]

I lived in a desert climate for a long time. I would come with you, but there are people here I need to watch out for.

I hope I can, too. He's strong; he's probably fine. [Said as much to reassure himself as anything.] But in case he isn't... In a place like that, all it takes is one injury or one accident for things to go very bad.

[eternaliyah]

Very true.

[He rolls up the vellum tightly and holds it out.]

Good luck, and godspeed.
