[Apparently, Tannis' curiosity has overcome her revulsion for both other people and small talk. There might as well be a celebration because this is not going to happen again. Probably. But she's got all these people here, she might as well make use of the large sample size.]

I have a few questions and unfortunately they require answers from the larger population, thus I am subjecting myself to the mad throng of people I am constantly surrounded by.

If, say, someone you care for has gone missing, and, given a high probability that they are still alive and unable to communicate, how would you in your particular circumstances, whether in your world or otherwise, go about attempting to locate them?

Those who wish only for conversation need not reply.

Lilith objected strenuously whenever I attempted to either add or remove things from her person without her knowledge.

[It was only a lock of hair!

But honestly she's not even sure if a tracker would even work now.]

We all saw exactly where she went, and yet she was not there when we went to find her.

[yondu]

Was there anybody that coulda seen her leave? Around wherever it was?

To be honest I never asked Quill because I knew he'd say no an' then go and get himself near killed again.

[sirentologist]

Somehow, no. One would think sealing an entire moon would be quite noticeable, however there have been no reports of any useful information from Elpis.

I didn't ask either.

[yondu]

Have you lost her before?

[sirentologist]

No. She is typically quite difficult to lose. I suppose that must come with a name like "Firehawk."

[yondu]

Thermal scanners? That's my best guess.

Or a critter with a good sense of smell, dependin' on the atmosphere.

[sirentologist]

I cannot say for certain whether there is an atmosphere where she ended up. [Is she floating in space? Who even knows. It would be interesting if she was.]

Thermal scanners would only be effective once we are already relatively close.
