[There is weight and struggle in every word he utters.]

I'll be fine. I've gotten really sick the other day, and all my augs are messing up with me. I'm just hoping this'll pass by itself, because the last thing I need is to have a doc slicing me open to check up on all of my augs.

I hope we can talk about this in person eventually. Maybe when I am doing a little better.

*She'd let out an exhausted sigh.*

Kris... that sounds exactly like the sort of thing you 'ought to go and see a doc.

It is not worth the trouble putting it off and being stubborn about it can bring about, trust me on that.

Becca. Please don't panic, but.

Your brother is alive. In front of me, right here, right now.

We're at Freeport six right now. And he wants to know where you are.

What should I tell him? He looks like he has a trigger finger.

He is literally right here, I swear to God. In front of my eyes.

We're outside the Freeport. He really wants to see you.

Hey, a promise is a promise, so yeah figured I'd let you know I'm back in the Taus for the moment, gonna' touch base with Lynchie on the uh... whole Oz' thing, so yeah no need for any alarms this time for anyone thinking I'm gone dark or hiding or something like that.

But.. to be honest think I could use some advice, I don't whether tell him and the rest about this whole... Jason thing, and I am sorry to bring that shite back up so soon but, well the but is you're probably the best person I know to ask for advice on that.

Anyway, after that I thought I might float back up to Nobeoka, but we'll see, might get something from Lynchie to follow up on, or might find a reason to head back down to Fourteen. Figure it out soon enough anyway.

And I hope you're doing alright.

Kris, everythings gone to shite back at Inverness, we all really need something other than radio silence right now, I need to talk to you about a lot and that was before Levan let slip the fact you aren't happy with things at the Technocracy right now.

I'm sorry that things are turning out this way, but things are fucked right now, possibly beyond repair, so please just answer ASAP.

[The recording is submerged in the skull drilling noise of alarms and durasteel bending and creaking.]

Becca. Th-there's no time left. The Kay is crashing down. Levan's--

L-listen. I love you. Don't-- don't do anything stupid. I'm sorry I couldn't come back.

[You can hear him breathe with panic under his mask. He sounds choked up and trembling.]

...Take care of yourself.
