[ Nathan has been up out of the jump bay by the time Ned has called him, trying to get a feeling for what really became of the Communications department in those last couple of weeks of mind numbing semi-consciousness. It's not as bad as his addled mind had made up, it turns out, so rather than plough right into salvaging it, and having taken Ned's urgent call, it's back to the lockers with him.
It'll take him a couple of days, but apart from the rampant - and cloying - paranoia, he feels pretty good. Fresh hair cut, clean new suit from the station, polished new shoes--he's practically a new man. The news from Ned might be unsettling, and he'll need to hear more to know for sure what it means, but there's an unusual feeling settled in his chest, a certain joyfulness that expels itself as a tune, whistled as he steps out of the elevator and winds his way back through the remaining people to find Ned. ]
