[The hug was unexpected but not unwelcome. The immediate shift threw him a bit off balance, but he compensated quickly, wrapping his arms around her to return the embrace with a bright smile. But when she said it had been two years, he slipped his hands to her shoulders and gently urged her back a bit to look her in the eyes, surprise clear on his features.]

Two years? It hasn't been quiet that long for me, but it has been a while. I didn't think I'd changed that much. [He teased when she said she didn't recognise him. The low light may not have been as much of an issue for him as it was for her.] As for the future, I haven't got a clue. I was responding to a medical emergency and a sight-to-sight transport brought me here instead of Ops. The architecture seems a bit... outdated to what I'm used to, so if I had to hazard a guess, I'd say probably not.

[He still kept one hand on her shoulder for the familiar contact, but the other flipped the padd over in his hands to hold it out to her, displaying the message that had arrived on it just a few minutes ago.]

According to this, it appears that this is some kind of logged anomaly and we've been recruited by the people studying it, but when and where were left undisclosed.

You look great, by the way.
