(@???) Hastur: ... What.
He's silent and motionless, shocked to the point of forgetting forgetting even to simulate breathing and sweating to pass off for human. After a moment Hastur regains his composure and half-whispers into the speaker once again.
(@???) Hastur: You say he's... recuperated, then got brought out on a purging mission and went missing in action? No traces of his current location?

(@Nate) Hastur: The only thing I want to tell you is... don't blame yourself for it. The fate like that lies in wait for every Astartes, and there's nothing one can do about that. Einar and his comrades were fulfilling their duty, and you should take pride in their actions, not drown it in the bottle. What's more...
Hastur stands up, now saying it more to himself than to the broken Guard.
Hastur: I doubt people here would let that MIA thing go.
With that, he leaves the kitchen, returning to the living room.
(@Team) Hastur: Folks, I've got some... news.
(@Team) Hastur: I guess most of you remember Einar well enough. Those who don't - he was the one who has ended up gravely wounded in an attempt to defend us in the Balamb Garden. Good news are that the Imperium folks say he has recuperated. ... Bad news are he has went MIA along with his squadmates and all that's known to this moment is his general coordinates and that he ain't confirmed dead yet. Hope some of us would care. ~stares at Asagi and Cath as they've seen the most shit along with Einar, himself and other old-timers~ That's all.

Cath: @Andrew: Uh, sure. Why?
