[Oh gods why is this happening again. Everything's been a shitshow but at least thanks to his conversation with Lavi he's more inclined to immediately answer.]
Hey, I'm here. I'm listening. [He would say "yes that sounds like Jason" but he doesn't quite know him well enough (it's a guess) and he's worried about running out of time.] Are you okay?
[...their last conversation as a group. She'd said she'd thought of it. They'd talked her down, and then she wound up dead. Would it be a lie to say he didn't think about that being a possibility? Yes. But with Jason he has to wonder the same.]
It's the Cradle. That's what it's called from what I understand.
I was hoping you hadn't...I'm glad you didn't. I'm not mad, I promise you. But I can't promise he won't be mad about...everything.
I'll talk to him. I'll try to, anyway. What else can I tell him?
I would imagine not. Are you safe there though? Tell me you're safe and can protect yourself. I don't know much about it, I'm afraid.
...I'll grab them. I'll deliver them tomorrow. Jason and Jack were the ones who searched your room but I can get them myself. Please don't ask me how, just trust me.
Isn't that exactly why it happened? You're both stubborn and insufferable and sometimes childish. But that's why both of you gravitated to each other. Too stubborn to let it go. You don't think I miss people every day knowing I won't see them again? I'd have to be a villain of some kind to think that's wrong. But you have to know that him being stubborn means he might not listen to me either right away. Maybe not at all. But I'll do what I can.
That seems extreme. Enjoy the ocean for me. Send seashells if you can.
[He may or may not be serious.]
We'll try not to disappoint. You were one of the first people to really put this kind of trust in me, and...you're not wrong. Dunno how I feel about being team dad but it's kinda like going back to where I came from.
I'll keep him alive. Both of them, I hope. If you see either of them there forgive me for not acting fast enough.
We caught him, by the way. The alien. We'll work to find the rest.
I believe in you. You're the most sensible. Forgetting about the blowing up part, at least. My feelings for Jack aside - men like that know how to lead, but they get blinded. If he threatens you or Jason...
Take. Him. Out.
[ She's not going to hold that back. ]
...So the host is fine? The creature is dead?
- I don't have much longer, so feel free to glaze details.
THAT is a stretch...Jason did try to talk me out of the mine, you know.
[But she mentions time and he knows he has to type as fast as possible. Thank the gods for autocorrect.]
Believe me, I've faced worse men and worse monsters than Jack. Gods, Elizabeth. I won't let him overrule either of us. [Which is scary and he hopes it never has to come to that.]
Host is physically fine. Disappeared as soon as he came to. I'm going to try to find him when I can. Two more have been killed due to the souvlaki. One lost a hand. But we killed the creature. We still have more to find but at least we found this one in time.

This isn't Heaven or Hell.
Please know I didn't do this - I didn't bait myself. Please don't be mad at me... please tell Jason not to.

This Cradle is too peaceful - it's unsettling and I don't like it here.
Get the letters. Please, let people have them. I mean every word.
I... I just miss him. It's stupid, it shouldn't have happened between us, but ... I guess we're both insufferable and stubborn.

I trust you. I trust you all.
...Right. Just make sure he doesn't do anything stupid. I don't know if I could stand to see him here. Even selfishly, I can't wish for that.
I'll stay in touch with you. You're team dad. Jack isn't responsible enough.

[ Copy and Paste works wonders. ]
Was it - Dave, correct? He's the last that I remember -
[ One more thing: ]
I'll pass messages to the others. The newly dead.
I promise I'll stay in touch. I prom-
