"No... Jayme, Hiroko, and Bast was there too," he murmured, able to recall the members that normally ran that Watchpoint while he and Gabe and Ana were elsewhere.

"...I should be there..." he murmured softly, voice cracking with emotion. "I should be there helping them pull people out. They're our people... what if I can save some, Gabe...?"
