Shit.
She's not planning to go alone is she?

Told her not to. I think she is. Didn't want to wait
Stuck in the gardens or I would've gone

You CAN get to places around here on foot.
Done it before.

[And look at how well that's worked out for him.]

I'll see if I can catch her before she heads out.
If not, then...
Kirk said it'd be good for people to be there for the returning passengers, I guess.

Where have you gone

[Yeah zero hesitation in that. He kind of needs to know those things.]

Rather you stay if you don't
She would too

You know.

Places.

[STUFF AND THINGS.]

I try to learn my way around as much as I can in case if the lifts ever stop working. It's just

Well, my old method is what nearly did me in the last time.

[...And if one could sigh in text, that's what Murphy would be doing right now:]

Yeah? Everyone keeps saying shit like that. It's pissing me off.

[He needs specifics!!!]

What about from the Gardens to Medbay

[The last thing gets an actual eyeroll, but there are too many other things to worry about to start bickering over staying safe or going out, and really it shouldn't annoy him as much as it does. Probably because he's stressed, right.]

Whatever

You need to get there, I take it? Might take me awhile, but I should be able to meet with you at the gardens.

[HUFF. Conveniently ignoring that last comment now that he has more important things to worry about. Such as the reason in which Netherlands needs to get taken to the medbay for in the first place. PUFF.]

How long is awhile. Should start as soon as I have a plan. Find Arthur
If I don't I'll wait
Until the ship stops being a syphilis-sufferer

[Another instance of some curses just looking better in Dutch.]

...

[Nice zinger there, Ned.]

Give me a couple hours at least. Three and a half hours, tops. It's a bit of a hike.
Think you can wait that long?

[Tyfuslijer is a great curse. Apparently not in English, though.]

Can

[Just. Sighing at the screen before he reluctantly pokes the explanation in.]

Don't have my medication with me. Keeps me from being too paranoid
Could wait it out if he leaves

[Apparently not.]

Is that it?
You wouldn't mind telling me what kind of medication it is, would you?
That way I can stop by the medbay first before I head over there. Would take me a bit longer, but I'll keep in touch.

[So people don't wind up thinking he just got lost all over again.]

Who's "he", though? Arthur?

[Well, he would, but there's a bigger problem:]

Don't think I'd take it from you by the time you got here
Arthur. From Camelot

[Yeahhh.]

I'm a lot more efficient than you think.
Spent DAYS out there with a lot less than I have now.
I'm headed in that direction anyways. Not going to sit and wait and hope that things will change for the best.

[This is a guy who went out actively looking for his missing son while cops were out there doing the same with their fancy search parties. And look at where "hoping for the best" has gotten him...

[Chances are Murphy is just going to drive himself insane if he sticks around his room all day, in any case.]

I'll admit it'd probably be a lot faster if I had one of the trucks from the garden to drive in, though.

[...And then he just stops and stares at the text on his screen for awhile.] From Camelot.

[Officially starting to wonder if Netherlands is already starting to go crazy without his medication -- but hey, you never know in this place.]

I know

[Not that Murphy is already heading their way, of course, but that he was stuck out there for days.]

Was thinking we could meet you
Only place I know is in between is the science dept. Don't want the comms to fuck off in the middle of the ship though
Know where that is?

Yeah. Met Merlin couple jumps ago too
Weird as hell

I do, yeah. [He was around when it was all mazes and black holes and manticores on the way there, guh.

[Murphy continues to stare at his device for a little bit. Typing with wee letters and walking at the same time is hard.]

Weird, but not much weirder than a talking country.

[Feels like he should be locked up in a padded room for even thinking that.]

What do you think

[About the idea, he means.
... except he can't help but snipe in one last comment.]

Forget I told you that then
Jesus

Sounds good.

[...Wait, is this guy actually offended or is he just being facetious? Murphy can't tell. Fucking text.]

Sorry?
