I only don't want to make you relive what was clearly a terrible ordeal. This is a very strange situation to find myself in... there's so much I want to ask you, but I would hate for you or anyone to be harmed simply due to my own curiosity.

And, at the same time, I wish I could offer you better news. I'm afraid we still know very little about what happened. I can tell you the search for the expedition, for all you men, was extensive... it lasted years. Decades. I only wish it had managed to find you.
