[ Hey little bro. Drake seems as calm as ever in his reply, but the fact that he's been sort of awol probably belies the fact that he's been... not okay. Still, he's doing his best and hopes Peter won't call him on that. ]

Two things back at you, Peter. One, have you been able to access anything besides operations on those computers? I'm obviously up for helping to fix and maintain everything so we don't all die, but after certain experiences I think we've also gotta be checking for records. Or else what happened to the last residents will hit us too and we'll be just as screwed. And maybe there's something that'd tell us how the portal works? It's tech, somebody built it. I think there might be some intact hard drives in the mess of the library but I'm not an IT guy. If I can pull 'em out, do you think you could retrieve the data?

[ He hesitates before his thing two, because he's well aware that plenty of people stalk networks and he doesn't want to cause a panic, but... ]

Two, I think I need to make... let's call it a public service announcement about our failed rescue mission. We on the same page there?
