Rescue missions aren't uncommon. Ganymede's told me about a few they've tried to do before. [ he does not tell her how that ended. ] Were they trapped then?
[ ...of course it was a source. anyway he is in fact noting she is distracted, but he's just monitoring her and talking to her to try and get her to reconnect to the topic. ]
Yeah... [ blinking... ] -- Yeah, I gave it a good whack! Or two or three. And then everything went crazy, and Metis finished it off, and I think that stopped it...
Hey! [ dodges on instinct even if he's not in the line of fire. ] Okay, okay, wait a minute! What do you--talk to me. How do you know it's still there?

But you guys managed to, right? You made it back here, so...something happened to complete the mission. [ right???? ]

no subject
So why won't it go away!?
no subject
Why won't what go away? [ HELLO? he is realizing that perhaps there is an effect here and he dislikes that. ]

Like this creepy, heavy presence... It makes it hard to think.
[ she wraps her arms around herself, like she's just trying to hold on to something. ]

Like a pressure? There has to be a way to try and think around it to get it to back off.
