[ The familiar presence in his head has been oddly silent just long enough to make Rhys worry. As Rhys catches a glimpse of that eerily familiar profile, he's off like a shot, eager to follow. ]

Hey! Jack? What's-- [ As soon as he's close, he he doubles over, hands on his knees, catching his breath after only about 15 seconds of light jogging. ] Holy shit I need to start using those treadmills. Where'd you go? I had to deal with that girl with the huge hair in accounting all on my own and I did not have enough witty retorts before we fired her.

[Jack turns around, one eyebrow already raised at the sound of a familiar voice.]

Rhys? [He hasn't seen this little idiot since they'd finally reached Helios and got him all plugged in. Too bad he'd had maybe all of an hour to enjoy it before being yanked away by a literal Crazy Train.]

Hang on. Iiii can't see through... [ It's hard to describe but there's something a little off about Jack's appearance. Rhys tilts his head, squinting. ] How are you doing that?

[ After a couple seconds, Rhys's ECHO flickers bright blue. ]
