The journey to the captain's office was mostly quiet, the two humans silently determined and Kitt not adding much to the conversation. The pair worked together mostly silently and seamlessly, almost knowing what the other needed before asking. Once they arrived, Ryobi already had his pistol drawn, ready for another grisly scene like what he had experienced before. At Kitt's scan, Ryobi sighed. "I won't say I made the wrong choice, cause otherwise I might have found you dead instead, but dammit."

He lowered his gun, although he wasn't about to holster it yet. "If they're gone or incapacitated, that puts you in charge of this station, Jan," he said quietly. They both knew it already, but Ryobi needed to say it aloud to make it feel real. "You're gonna have a hell of a time with that paperwork now." With that said, Ryobi stepped forward around the corner, his main intention to find the source of the mechanical sound, and his secondary intention to locate the Captain. Ryobi hadn't known Kitt to be wrong before, but there was a first time for anything.
