[John knows if he tries to start this conversation off normally, Shepard will likely just delete the text. He isn't totally thrilled about the idea of going to her at all, but his back is against the wall and he's not convinced Aeryn is listening to him.
So he cuts to the chase immediately.]

I'm worried about Aeryn. Can I trust you?

[Well that's unexpected. And either Shepard's looking for a fight or is surprised enough to feel like dealing with Crichton's particular brand of hole-in-the-head marital bullshit or-- or she's feeling responsible for keeping what's left of her crew alive. One way or another:]

What's the problem?
[Don't patronize her with that pinky swear bullshit.]

Thanks judge, but I didn't play the martyr. I was trying to get information to find her.
FROM: crichton.john@cdc.org
So the collective of people that she seems to have forgotten about who care back home could go after her.

Do you know why Aeryn took her contract?

Help me talk her out of her crusade before she hurts herself even more.

She thinks my being here is her responsibility, she thinks Zhaan's sickness is her fault, and she's going to fight to atone for all of it.

I have no idea what you're talking about. The idea is to survive.
FROM: crichton.john@cdc.org
That's always what its been.
[Yeah there's no way in hell he's talking about what he's actually going to do, especially not to Shepard. And that plan is on the back burner until he has more information anyway.]

That isn't good enough.

If you don't have a plan, you're going to die. If you have a plan that involves making yourself a target, you're going to die faster.
FROM: shepard.lydia@cdc.org
Hell you could be here fighting for something and keeping your head down. Current events have made it infinitely clear that you might be targeted anyway.
FROM: shepard.lydia@cdc.org
I don't know you Crichton. I don't really care what happens to you. But Aeryn gives a damn and I get the impression you feel the same about her.
FROM: shepard.lydia@cdc.org
If that matters to you you'll start thinking up something to do that doesn't increase the odds of getting either one of you killed.
