[Jeremiah simply nods and holds his responses until she's done. There's a degree to which they're already on the same page. It's what he'd expect; left to her own devices and under unfavorable odds, she won't remain still any more than the rest of them. The difference is she's keeping more possibilities in mind rather than taking assumptions, as he has. Greater risk, but a faster return. He hopes.]

I want to ask for two-way functionality on the teleporter. Even if it cannot or will not be done, one of those two things would have to be the case. In asking, I may be able to find out. If it can be done, it could be the first step to sending people home. A request to the Augur itself would surely get rejected, but if the technology to do so at all exists, it could be appropriated in time for our own ends.

[Jeremiah pauses. It sounds fine outside of his head and ridiculous all at once. Not all that much more ridiculous than things he's seen.]

And if we can't utilize it to return people home right away, perhaps we can at least send objects back, perhaps even with the Augur's approval. [And therein sits his selfish motivation, but returning home carries different things for everyone. In his case, he'll take a compromise over nothing.] If the flow of time here isn't independent of everything else, this could be crucial to those that have been left behind.
