[It's around dusk, the faint glow of a lantern casting a wavering light about that reveals the Exo so he's more than just glowing eyes. He seems to give a dry look at the communicator before turning his head and then the feed itself outward towards the city and its few lit up buildings. ]

So. That direction would be where the tower is. Just trust me on this since there's no blinking light.

But if we look out this way-

[The feed shifts again, passing over sparse furnishings and old, rusted gears of the clock tower before looking out another gaping hole where there's fewer buildings grouped and lit, but the most noticeable thing is a light winking on and off in the darkened distance.]

I think someone's funnin' with us.

Like you mentioned earlier. I mean, how can we be so sure that it's been as long as the Agrii have said since they've had to leave home? It's already clear that there's some kind of technology or something that can pull people from across time and space, so who's to say that hasn't been applied in general? Or am I overthinking things? I think I'm overthinking things. See, this is why I like straight-up problems where you can identify who's behind it at a glance.

You might be overthinking, but since we don't have other answers...

[Tommy sets aside what he's selected from this crate.]

I think overthinking is all we have.

[deal_me_in]

Yeah, but if we do too much overthinking we get paranoid. Not that figuring someone is watching us at all times isn't enough to make people paranoid already.

[He tosses his hands in a dramatic shrug.]

Anyway, it's still stuff to keep in mind I guess.

[doubled_speed]

Yeah, true. But what else are we going to do?

[Tommy doesn't mind keeping things in mind. It's all he's got time for. Too many things to think about.

[deal_me_in]

Keep it in mind, keep an eye out and keep on our toes. But don't get overwhelmed.

[Cayde grins at the last, knowing that with everything else, the latter advice might seem ridiculous. Still, he's serious.]

[doubled_speed]

Trust me, this place is patently underwhelming to me.

[Man, there is not even remotely enough stimulation to him.
