He tried to focus on the face as it shone through the surrounding darkness.
“You have no idea how long we looked for you.” the face glanced to her right, smiled faintly, and then made a gesture nod towards someone else in the room.

The previous vaguely familiar face came back into view.
“All I can say is that we’ve had a long roundabout journey to find you. At least, that’s all I can say for now. Doubtless you’ll guess or have already guessed much.” the face seemed almost awed by seeing him.
He coughed, rubbed his face, and began:
“Remember your short hyperspace jump towards the incoming enemy fire?”
