Sara,
Where have you been? I haven't heard from you in nearly two weeks.
I'm worried about you, Sara. Please let me know you're okay.

I'm the best excuse maker in the world. Seriously, you should hear some of the stuff I've come up with lately.
I started out with the normal 'maybe her internet connection's bad' or 'maybe she's just super busy'. It's progressed to 'well, what if the boat hit a reef and her computer fell overboard?' and 'maybe some criminal is posing as a professor on board and is secretly hijacking everyone's computers at night?' Really, I've had some golden ones.
The imagination's a funny thing, though. You know what our job does to it. And mine's been going crazy lately, imagining all sorts of things that aren't good, each one worse than the last.
Put my mind and imagination at ease, Sara. Just let me know you're okay. You don't need to tell me anything else.
Be safe.

There's been a… development… at the lab.
You should hear it from Grissom himself.
Call him, Sara.
