That's a big promise, Steph, and it's got to be one you make without dying along the way.

( She cuts to the chase, the memory of Elmer's world a haunt too readily brought to mind. )

I'm glad you're helping out. Be careful? Caesar's still down there too, and I know more are. I'm less sure of everyone up here right now, it's confusing, but we've got places to sleep and it's not as cold as the first few hours were.

i mean it. i'm with the initiative on this one.

i'll be careful, and i'll make sure caesar is too, and everyone else. we're not gonna leave anyone behind.

Okay. I believe you! I do. Just... if people start to get really upset, or it looks like there'll be rioting, get out. Okay? I don't know who might be talking when they really shouldn't, but I don't want you guys hurt, or even any of the Exiles before -- before.

i know. as long as everyone else is safe i'll get out asap.

[that's the best she can do.]

You're part of the everyone. Remember that, okay? You need to be safe too.

i'll remember, i'll be safe.

there's something we should talk about once i'm up there, but it's not an emergency

[She can't tell her about Ellie now, it'll just make her worry more.]

( that makes Collette stop and think, but her guesses have no direction to follow. she opts to believe what Steph says. no emergency, but important nonetheless.

all right. she can be patient for that, she guesses. (regardless of how caesar might laugh at the idea of her! being patient!) )

Okay, that's a raincheck for a chat when you're moon-side! We'll talk then.

( It'll give her less of a headache than the tablet is giving her still. )
