[ It's not like 76 really cares that much about what does or doesn't happen to the Natha, but given that the Thesa Station is their only way off of El Nysa, it only makes sense to check in. Darma's messages have never cut off like that, especially since they're often transmitted to them in their dreams.
Really, what 76 is expecting is to not be able to teleport up at all, like when they'd been cut off a few months ago. Instead, he's still able to access the Station, but it's like a ghost town. Most of the lights are out, Darma's message is repeating ad nauseum. Were they attacked?
There's only one way to find out, and so he sets about the task of checking each room and corridor for any sign of an intruder. It's while he's in the middle of this search that his phone buzzes to life. 76 tenses, but ducks into cover to check the message.
The voice he hears is familiar, and he lets out a breath before sending a voice message back. ] 76 here. Didn't realize there was anyone else around. What's your exact location?
