Am I a bad person if that makes me feel better? I keep thinking it was something I could have prevented. If we had stopped talking about Barry Manilow and pointless stuff for five minutes maybe I would have been able to follow them longer.
[ After thumbing through her comm device for a couple of minutes, she manages to forward the message Kate sent through to his device. It's mostly comprised of static and garbled, warped sounds, but Kate's voice, urgent and far away, comes through now and then. ]

I'll forward it to him. We can find the last point of contact, though. Right? Someone can look at the last time they pinged the network or something and determine that location?
In theory that's what the communications center should be able to do. I don't understand how it works. [ Wizard from the 80s. Who is currently really pissed off at his own ignorance about technology. ] Obviously something's gone wrong. We knew from the start there was a high chance of it.
The only experience I have with it comes from watching movies. Obviously that's a great point of accuracy. [ So, you know, you're not alone, Severus. ] This is so stupid. I hate sitting here and know that they're out there dealing with who knows what.
I'm not going to go running off into whatever direction. I do feel responsible, whether I am or not. Will you let me know if you hear that anyone is able to determine anything?
Whatever's down there will go after minds more than bodies. The mentally broken way survives have come back, if the archives of the network are anything to go by, speaks to that clearly.
You said yourself that you'd go after them. I'm not afraid. Sometimes you just have to jump without stopping to consider the consequences. Kate asked me to help her. I can't just let that go to the side or let someone else shoulder it because of something that might happen.

Your position is not to protect them, simply to monitor them. You did what you were meant to.

I have to find out if any other teams have gotten anything through.

I can't just leave them down there in the meantime.

We're not going to abandon them. We have to gather what information we can first.

Keep in contact with the other communications liaisons. We have to be vigilant now more than ever.
