"Go ahead, Jonas. He's listening." Miranda's voice says flying through Rip's study

"Hi, Daddy. We miss you."

"And love you." Miranda reminded.

"And love you." Jonas repeated.

"Anything else you want to say?" Miranda questioned Jonas.

"Come home soon, Daddy." Jonas said.

"Hi, Rip. Not sure if you got our last message.
I told Jonas that you got caught up with work, but I really thought you'd be home by now.
London is Things have changed. It's hard to tell what's going on with so many soldiers and rumors.I just want to know you're all right.
Wherever you are, whenever you are, I love you, Rip."Miranda said then the holgraphic recording repeated itself as Rip watched it with wet eyes.

"I'm sorry to interrupt, Captain." Martin said walking in the study.

"No, uh, not at all. Just, uh, catching up on work." Rip said getting up out of his chair.

"What is all this?" Stein questioned looking at all the papers scattered around. Some he recognized as the captains hand writing and the others being Clarity's while the rest were foreign to him.

"Just trying to connect the dots, find the optimal time to strike at Savage." Rip explained.

"And?" Stein questioned.

"And the trail's gone cold. In order to preserve the element of surprise, I wager the best course of action is to travel further back in time, but nothing here indicates where to find him" Rip said in disappointment.

"Well, perhaps I can help you look." Stein offered.

"I've been looking! I apologize. It's just the stakes are so high. I vowed to save my family, but I'm failing them. Perhaps I'm not the Time Master they need."

"You must be. You're the only one they have. Can't Gideon help us? " Stein questioned.

"No. When a timeship returns to the Vanishing Point after a mission, its CPU is updated from the temporal database, which, given my rogue status, we are unable to do." Rip revealed.

"So, what you're saying is Gideon requires a software update. Which explains why you've been holed up in here for the past week.

"Has it really been a week?" Rip questioned spinning around.

Stein hummed in affirmation.

"Couldn't be. Clarity was just in here going on about quirks that Savage is bound to have in every era" Rip said his eyebrows furrowing.

"I'm afraid that was about three days ago Captain" Martin said.

"Feels like she was just here" Rip muttered to himself.

"And I'm afraid some of our teammates are getting just a tad antsy." Stein told him.
