[Sent off in response before she gets any farther on her comm, too sluggish and thick headed from stasis to realize it gets pinged back to her: undelivered. It's a handful of minutes more before she goes digging through the backlog of network chatter that she's missed. When she gets to the report of transfers and dead, her eyes drop the the second list first - more important, more necessary than who's just been sent off world.
Considering how long she's been out, it could be a longer list. She knows that.
Still thinks hell when she finds his name, something small and sharp cutting through the haze in her head to low behind her ribs when she tabs back to his message and realizes her answer is still sitting there: connection not found. Thinks, for a collection of seconds, that she probably owed him something. That he isn't the first one. For a moment her thumb hovers clumsily over the blackglass screen.
