[ Angel was one of the last waves to hit the ground, she did her best to help those in the final drop, but found that with her limited skills and strength she was more in the way then of any use. It's just after sunset now, the stars and Thesa becoming fully visible as the sky darkens. She wonders about Jack, and if the only other person who may know of the danger he possesses made it out okay. ]
Good evening, Rhys. Have you landed safely on El Nysa? Please respond.

Are you injured at all? Or preoccupied setting up camp? Still awaiting a response.

[ It's been five days since touchdown, five days since Angel badgered Rhys into giving her answers that created more questions. She had barely taken good measure of the room she'd been assigned to, let alone the city, before the good word came in that access to Thesa was once again available and she was off doing her regular check in.
She's well aware she isn't exactly in Rhys's good graces (to put it lightly) especially after she essentially told him to effectively off himself, and she is still weary and fearful of him but...from her understanding, there was some kind of fallout with Jack, enough of one that Rhys tried to destroy his AI, to not want him back. "Enemy of my enemy is my friend" right? If he had a better understanding of the situation, perhaps he'd be more open to solution regarding both the real Jack and the one who may still be in his cybernetics.
As soon as she's back in the city she pulls out her phone, keeps her message brief: ]

You need to know.

I was told to apologize to you because Junpei "won" with his "going through a phase" for a code.
I still like yours too. They could be interchangeable depending on the conversation at the time, right?
[She hopefully didn't wake him.]

[ NOPE after that one time "Angie" flooded him with text messages and Rhys ignored her, he's set that thing to silent and only checks it in the morning and stuff. So! He sees this bright and early when he opens up his communicator for the day, yawning and rubbing sleep from his eyes. ]
Huh? What are you talking about?
[ IT'S EARLY and that was several days ago. ]

[She calls.
It's broken and she sounds as though she's second-guessing herself the whole time.]
Look, I know I'm a pain to you a lot, but I--
I was just wondering if--
If I needed--
[..............and she hangs up.]

[ Rhys gets the call and picks up with a "Hey, what's up Anemone?" but doesn't really get much of a word in after that. He's half-expecting some sort of ridiculous question or for her to natter at him and just be the sort of harmless nuisance he remembers himself being at her age.
Instead he gets that, and before he realizes it she's hung up. Rhys has no idea what to make of it, but quickly tries to call her back as he wonders, what was all that about? ]

[this is not the medical visit related text he was probably expecting, but this one is equally important, clearly] are you a detective??
[ It is not at all what he was expecting when he sees the message from her waiting in his inbox. Naturally he assumes it's the doctor thing and opens the message quickly with the intent to clear his schedule as quickly as he can, but then he sees the contents and squints for several moments before he replies. ]
What??
What??
GUESS WHAT THE SPECIAL IS THIS WEEK!

[ Oh Jyn....you're like Harriet the spy, only older and hotter♥ ]
Really? Okay. I mean I don't think there's even a chance he's going to find him, Rocket's probably holed up in some doomsday hideout he made in secret when we first got here. he seems resourceful like that.

[HEY GUESS WHO ALSO SPIED ON HIS CONVERSATION WITH BIGBY.]
Normally, I'd put an EMP in your bed to bust up that fancy arm of yours for awhile just for saying anything about me to that dude, but you did defend me, and that kinda warms my black void of a heart, so you get a pass.

[ Well this is...strange. Rhys wasn't expecting Rosalind to contact him anytime soon. It's not a bad thing? But he wonders what she could possibly want as he stares blearily at his palm display and sighs. He should probably call her back.
So he'll do just that, sniffling a little and coughing. ]

Rhys, are you busy?
I have something to give you,
Can we meet somewhere?

still awake?

[ is she texting him in the middle of the night? maybe ]
[ It's been near impossible for her to shake Jack since she woke up, not a surprise considering...everything. Luckily he and the other newly woken have yet to be permitted free passage to teleport planet side, which means Angel is staying up here too. Because while he may not be able to cause trouble down on the ground yet, there are plenty of opportunities for him to wreak havoc up here.
That, and Angel has to keep pretending that everything is okay. Can't let Jack see that facade waver. Which is why she goes to one of the few places he won't follow: the women's washroom.
Once she's sure that the stalls lock is clicked into position she leans against its door, finally taking a breath she feels she's been holding since Jack found her in the virtual reality room, and takes out her phone to text those who need to know the worst has finally happened. One of those people of course being Rhys. ]

I know.
[ That's probably not the best way to preface that considering their tenuous history together but Rhys does not have the best ideas when he's been up all night freaking out instead of sleeping. ]
I saw him on the network and was going to message you but then he was on the space station
He wants me to show him around El Nysa or something?? He thinks I work for him
I didn't tell him anything and I was going to call you I but it was last night at 3am and I've sort of been freaking out at home
What are we gonna do Angie
Because we have a BIG problem. I don't think there's just one Jack that woke up

so I hear SOMEBODY'S trying to reproduce Hyperion tech with Dr. Lutece.
Hint: I mean you. And not even letting me in on the deets! What's up with that, kiddo?
[ aka yes he's heard and no he's not happy, but it's less murderous rage unhappy and more like Rhys just let out a wet fart in an elevator. Irritating, but not infuriating. ]

Wait what? Who told you talk?
[ DAMNIT ROSALIND??? Rhys nearly panics when he sees this in his inbox and the first things he thinks of are a) damage control and b) the fact that Hyperion no longer exists and so it's not technically stealing if they're not in the same reality anymore?
He wisely doesn't get into B. ]

Rhys will find in his mailbox a small box with a note attached. Inside he will find a set of metal dice for his bunkers and badasses game. With a note saying “I had a good time playing that game of yours. Here is some more of those dice that you’re so fond of. I hope you enjoy them.
PS. I was your secret "Santa" Whatever a Santa is.

[ rhys falls in love all over again when he sees this gift?? Like. He wasn't really expecting much for Mercendary Day (because that's what Christmas is in Borderlands) on account of no one from home who really likes him being around. To get a gift regardless and from someone he likes? That means alot ): ♥
so ofc he has to call Senren and Thank him ]
