Oh god. If he hadn't already wanted to shut Hypatia down, he does now. Part of him wishes they could stick Hypatia in a body and do to her what she did to Jade, and to everyone else.
Slowly (and a little painfully), he unfolds himself, stands up, and steps towards her, one hand held out like he's trying to soothe a wild animal. Hopefully she won't teleport or lash out if he comes closer.
"Shhh, Jade, shhh," he murmurs. He doesn't say they'll get her out of there, or rescue her, or anything like that, because there's enough programming in her that he's pretty sure half of her would flip out, but dammit how long has it been since someone touched her gently?
If she'll let him, he's going to rest a hand on her shoulder.
