[It's a slightly harried looking Wing who appears on the communicator. He doesn't look injured, just...stressed out, his gold optics dim and tarnished-looking.]

H-has anyone else seen Dr. Liara T'Soni?  I mean recently?  I swore I saw her. But...[He looks around, almost on edge, and the camera moves to show that Wing's in a dead-end corridor. He's chased what he thought was her--and was definitely something--down here.] But, well, you can see. 

If she's here, she

That is a shame. Every loss should be mourned.

[Every loss. And there have been so many.]

Ah. Well, it was a theory. Grasping at hope, I think. [A bit of a shy laugh. He trusts the other at his word: if anyone could have found her scent, it was Lyall.]

[And really, Lyall isn't usually the most physically affectionate person, unless certain barriers have already been overcome or unless you're pack. But between the utter alien nature of Wing's appearance, and his rather childlike persona, Lyall is remarkably comfortable with touching him, particularly to comfort.]

Oh, they are excavating the lower parts of the ship, apparently. They want people who can make do without breathing for a spell, to help with the efforts. As I require far less air than a mortal would, I am a good choice for such things.
