It was just by luck that I managed to be awake for the announcement- I was re-carving the wooden model of the Welcome Center when the message went out, and I checked the list of names, not just for my own name, but in case there was anybody else I was worried about.

Molly was first, but she was safe. Thank God. Richard was safe. Helios was safe. Rei was safe. There weren't a whole lot of names on the list that I was concerned with, but there were a few, and in one I didn't know how combat capable she was.

So I went by the teleporter, hoping to catch her before she left.
