[But he's glad. It eases a little of the tension in his chest to know Jet is as safe as he can be given the circumstances, that they're still in contact.

Everyone else will be fine, it just might be a little more time before we get get them safe again.

We'll figure something out. I swear it to you, Jet. We'll get you out. All of you.
[Because he refuses to see another choice.]

Just don't do anything stupid.
