So, uh.

Saw your mission report. Can't find the orig so i'm shooting you an email on my phone whiel I'm waiting for this plane back to get moving my god, I think I live here now, on the tarmac at Dallas and it's very boring tarmac.

Anyway!

what I need to know is - is your dimension shit gonna be a Sliders situation? you know, moving from one universe to the next, always searching for a way home etc?

Because if it is, we're going to need to do some contingency planning and make sure that we're like, able to wrap your lives here up in a totally non suspicious way while you're on your endless journey etc.

LMK.

i'll make arrangements for you if I need to.

That's good but what about plan D, when that device malfunctions? All I'm saying is that this thing is incredibly cool but part of my job is thinking about the what ifs and that includes what you want your nearest and dearest to know if you vanish for three months, for six months, for a year or more.

No just who gets your stuff and closes down your accounts but what do you want us to say?

My dads are used to me disappearing for unspecified lengths of time and not being able to make contact. They also know I worked for SWORD. So as long as it doesn’t put anyone at the mansion — or any mansion-adjacent people — in danger and they actually make contact to ask, just tell them the truth.

If I’m gone for more than three years in this reality, tell them to assume the worst but to know if I’m at all capable, I’m still trying to come home.

See, this is the stuff we need to have down. What we say, to who and when.

I hope we never have to use it but if we do, at least we're on the same page.

Yeah, no problem. If Matt gets lost in the wormhole, I’ll handle the family. And vice versa, actually. What I said above should only happen if both me and Matt get lost.
