He has to be alive. [He refuses to think otherwise yet, but he's also half-certain Carlos is dead somewhere.] After everything, he wouldn't just die here.
[A gesture to the room like that explains something.]
Yeah. Sucks is a good word for it, and I'm wondering if this is going to be the last time this happens. It's been a week since we got here, right? If what we've heard is to be believed, we're out of time for whatever was going to start tearing people about.
We've been trapped here for a week and people are already dead. I think we're past the point of what does and doesn't seem right. [...wait she's a civilian. Dial it back. ] ...but it's not my favorite choice either.

Granted, staring at the circle means seeing the weird-ass warping and he immediately gags as the dizzying sensation hits and combines with the already present mild hangover. He folds like a weakly built house of cards, stumbling backwards when the cycle is complete and watching everyone pile out.
He's quiet for a second, staring at the circle before he looks back at Beck, features pale and openly horrified.]
