- PILOT
- Cygnus engineers on the survey team are asking to be reassigned. That is a first.
- Chief Engineer Elena
- They have seen the preliminary scans. I have seen the preliminary scans. I am not asking to be reassigned, but I understand the impulse.
- Jane Doe
- Breach it anyway. Chart everything. We do not get to un-know what is down there just because it is unsettling.

- Jane Doe
- Good. I was running low.
