[ when wash finds out that tucker just - let locus go, he's a little irritated.

locus doesn't just get to walk away from everything that happened, even if he understands doing better not from a prison cell. but wash never killed half of an entire planet. and while he has sympathy for the fact that locus came to terms with what was happening, well - he doesn't have the entire story.

he thinks it had to do with felix, given how the fight at the purge temple went, but he doesn't know that for sure, and that's still not an excuse.

so, he leaves the others to their celebrations. he has to give it a go at finding locus. he keeps in touch with carolina, but apparently she gets caught up in the festivities because she never gives him a warning before it happens.

he thinks he's getting close, though. locus may be good at stealth, but wash was a recovery agent. he may not know locus well, but he knows him. and he knows locus wouldn't steal something right under their noses. and santa was oh so helpful with providing intel from across the planet.

there is a temple of transport, wash figures that's where locus is headed.

of course, he has about two seconds of feeling smug that he's pretty sure he's tracked locus almost down before things start feeling... weird. like his suit's cooling ability is broken. ]

What the -?

i defaulted to brackets but prose is also okay
