[ this was the problem with coming to trust and rely on others; but it also rocks Herc to his core. of course people could go missing, for as easily as they come why shouldn't they go just as easily?
[ It's a possibility she doesn't give much thought to (it's too distracting and she has distraction enough already) but Mako knows that going home isn't an option for all of them. (just because you were ready to sacrifice something, everything doesn't mean it's easy when the possibility comes round a second time.) ]
Shall we continue to combine out efforts and resources with the UNSC?
[ even as he messages her, he takes seconds to fire off his son a message. the possibility of leaving had never crossed Herc's mind, even though he knows it should. that he has a responsibility to the PPDC back home.
but if given the choice, he knows what his would be, and it isn't something he plans on discussing with his rangers ]
[ Even as they exchange messages back and forth Mako wonders briefly: was that a pause? A hesitation or maybe a distraction?
(It isn't her place to question it and so she doesn't.) ]
Understood, sir. I've sent my communication to send a periodic hail to the Master Chief's network identification. Once his ID no longer returns an error, we'll know.
[ he assumes she's let Raleigh know, and maybe by extension Yancy, too. the once-elder Becket may not be his brother's pilot any longer, but he's as much part of Gipsy as the rest of them. ]

Yes. No sense cutting off a good resource.

Thank you, sir.
Updates as available.
Third shift in two hours.

I'll let Chuck know.

But luckily, her communication skills haven't left her, so he knows. ]
Sir.
Mori, out.
