Sounds like a plan. See you in a little bit.

[ And so, around four o'clock, Katara docked on the Bishop. She vaguely wondered if she should have left a note, or a last will and testimony, but she was going to try to Behave for Sokka's sake. His face really did light up whenever he talked about Looma. She was going to try to see what he saw.

She disembarked and glanced around. ]

[Honestly it's probably for the best that Sokka had no reason to believe Looma was the sort to obsess over keeping things neat and orderly, because...well, the cargo hold's a mess. Not filthy of course, Bakugou's weirdly emphatic cleaning sessions were doing an admirable job of keeping the ship spotless, but seeing as how most of the floor space was devoted to salvaged, ship-mounted weaponry that anyone had yet to make use of, someone might come away with the impression Looma was subletting the place for use as a scrapyard.

Looma was already waiting of course- the benefits of an alarm system that signaled whenever someone was docking with the ship- and looking a little better than she did over the network a few days earlier. She's even got fresh bandages on her arm, around the wound Sokka gave her back in...well, the last system. Although, why that was in need of first aid treatment again was a question that probably didn't have a good answer. She at least manages to muster up a small smile and a half-hearted wave in greeting, even though it's certainly less warm and welcoming when the person giving it looks absolutely drained.]

Are you well? This system is not quite as hospitable as the last few- the ship is without one of its crew because of it. And no, I do not intend to keep you until he recovers.

[ She waves in return before her brow furrows. ] I wasn't really worried about that. [ Although now she IS concerned - both about the fact that Looma seems injured and about her crewman. ] What's the matter with him?

[ She glances around the cargo hold, taking in its haphazard order and wonders if the crewman she's down was the one responsible for keeping things together here. ]

He went Mist diving, as he put it. He was apparently in there long enough that the hallucinations still haven't subsided. He is apparently suffering other complications as well, but had enough sense to make his way to one the hospitals. He will be fine.

[But she didn't call Katara over just to talk of Mantis' foolishness, so she'll wave her after her as she turns to head further into the ship.]

But I did not call you here just to discuss that. Come along- I need input only you are in any position to provide. If I asked your brother, it would spoil the surprise.
