Damn, lost Kirito's signal. Hope that doesn't mean anything. And just when I was gonna look at the engine to figure out how to get him out.

Also, for the life of me, I can't find a box of fireworks. I'm not too worried--Ryuji probably got rid of them on me, but...

Why is there an elephant in the Command Center?

For that matter, HOW is there an elephant in the Command Center?

...No signal?

I guess that could just be a change in the game.

Me and Yuri aren't picking up Suguha's signal either, and she's playing a different game. So either the community's dropped them, or they both fell into the same situation...which is worse to consider

[Orlando stops to think for a few moments.] It could be a time thing, too, right? I mean, if someone had tried to contact me during the months I was gone when it was just an hour for me, they probably wouldn't have been able to. ...Well they wouldn't have been able to contact me anyway, but you know what I mean.

[Yeah, you can hear that he's trying to convince himself.]

I really hope so, kid. Meantime, I'm not giving up hope on getting Kirito out.

If I get in a place where I can help, I'll tell you.

Re: [voice]

Thanks. But you take care of yourself too, hear?

[voice]

[scanningutterly]

I'm trying.

We might have a lead on where to meet up with the others, so that could help.

Re: [voice]

Good, good. Wish I knew what else I could do to help, though.
