[ okay, sure, john has no resources and no working communicator and no idea where the fuck he is, but you know what he does have? dave. he definitely has dave right now, although this might just be because dave was like "where the fuck is john" and decided he had to go find john. this required a conference with URSULA for some idea as to where egbert had wandered off to (john why) and a check-in with rose to see if she had any vague seer-y bullshit advice.

so, he finally managed to catch up with his wayward best bro (why can't john ever be where he's supposed to be) just as john started flipping his shit.

john.

john, quit it and pay attention to your surroundings?
