(0) UNREAD MESSAGES

[Sorry, Connie. The rest isn't exactly good news, but it could be worse]

more than a dozen. no one else from the corps. the commander's out on some kind of mission, but everyone else is still accounted for.

[And that's as much as they can hope for. He would have said so sooner if the damage was any worse for them. He can't speak for Connie's acquaintances here, but there was no one else he'd known on the list outside of Isabel. It's agitating. Because it's not like they're dead, they've just been reassigned. But the CDC isn't like the military back home, they can't know where she's gone, or what she's doing. What's going on or when they'll see her again. If any of the rest of them would be next.]

[Connie breathes a sigh of relief at the message, despite the hefty number of supposed transfers. He's got a couple people he likes here, but his concern is for his squadmates first and foremost.

And because Connie's fairly simple-minded and unafraid to speak his mind, it's not a minute later that he sends the following message:]

do you think any of us are giong to get transferred next

we won't.

[He's not naive enough to think that if he just believes it hard enough, it'll work out that way. But he's not going to sit back and live in fear of it. They won't let it happen again. ...somehow.]

get your ass out of medical so you can catch up for good.
