She lets out a huge breath of relief, and smiles at him only a little nervously. She hasn't been here long, and she's been a little stand-offish the whole time, so she doesn't know him well, but she has been feeling guilty about the way things went. She was supposed to make sure he didn't get taken by the crazy AI.

"Welcome back! I was really starting to worry, it'd been so long, and..." She pauses, bites her lip. "I'm sorry I didn't... That I wasn't much help, when you got caught. I didn't mean to leave you, I just went to get backup, and... Anyway, I'm sorry."
