I won't. I think you should have the drone stay behind and tend to Slim and Gunny, while Prime and Jane go on to explore the HR installation. Also, you could simultaneously be playing Ned & Jed and Shin, already exploring the installation, or possibly already captives or victims of the Übergeist.
Then if either Syntac (wtf happened to that guy?) or Plague Bringer (I think he is working on a map or a story) come back, we can follow after you all, and arrive late to the party. Or, just kill us off, if you like.
I'm not abandoning this project, but between this, the Unvanquished, Querulous: The Juddering, <3 Clan, and 800 words a day for a year on my writing blog, I'm spread a tad bit thin at this point, fellas. (Not to mention, dare I say it, non-virtual existence.)
I'll be back, when I've moved those other projects along a bit. Lurking nearby, as always.
Cheers!
