"Thank you Hondo." Fernando says as he takes back his radio as he notices Jeanette, Moro and Elsa approach them. After listening to what Moro has to say, Fernando tells her, "I am not Earth's nor Humanity's representative to accept such an apology from you or your kind. Furthermore you and your spirits have a lot to atone too. I would not know where to begin. But if you got your technology already here, I'm not stopping you from using. If Jeanette or anyone from the group gets kidnapped, you are going to find them before I do. All I got is my Tachyon Beacon along with my equipment from the past to work with. But if I need anything, my daughters may get it when I need it, I am not stopping them. If you and your spirits got something that Jeanette needs, it can be "delivered" to her somehow. These people have say that the postal system works though it is not perfect and they got mail and packages waiting for them to be picked up. There was an old custom where hotels were used as pick up points but you need advise them that you will be there to get it. On average it takes 7 to 10 days for a package to go from point to point, thing is, where will we be in 7 days to pick up the package? That is for you to figure out and make arrangements. You got radio and equipment that Jeanette can use, make arrangements for delivery and pick up humanly possible." Fernando pauses for a second before he continues, "We will go and pick up Gabrielle when we can. We may take different routes because it is safer. We may follow caravans because it is safer. It may take us longer to get there but we will be there to get her. Everything else is on her as we work our way to get to her. And yes, that means a lot of driving - day and night. So you may have to drive when Jeanette and Hikaru are too tired to drive on. I will drive for as long as these batteries and solar panels can take me. But I will put no one here in danger to get to her. That is where my job comes in - finding out what is safe and what is not. Not for me but for you and the others. Right now you need to take care of Elsa. Hondo and I are going to gather intel at the bar about the caravan and the route we will be taking. We will be going the wrong way for a while but we will correct course and go where and when we can. Jeanette, it is your choice as to what you want - getting the girls settled at the camper for the night or a night of intel gathering debauchery at the bar."
