[ Using the time allotted, Vincent will set about a few tasks.
First, he will quietly appropriate two chorebots. Both have had googly eyes stuck to them. Surely a clever disguise.
More seriously though, he won't move so far off that it's suspicious to any tracking or watching. One of the chore bots will be instructed to stay hidden and if the Barge or its true representatives shows up, relay a message to the Admiral: ]
This is Vincent Valentine. Boat capsized. We survived. Individual who called himself the Cap'n claimed you sent him to pick us up while you continued repairs on the Barge.
[ He will name the vessel if he can find out before boarding by listening in to another conversation, or talk to a member of the Crew. At most he would take a picture to give to the chorebot and/or instruct it to remember identifying features. ]
Circumstances are highly suspicious. I will bring another robot with me. Hopefully you can use their network to contact or track us. Sorry, I know it's a long shot. But, options limited. I'm also instructing the chorebot in a key for coded messages I'll be able to understand if there are other options to send messages with.
[ Included will an effort to convey what the network ID/ID equivalent of the chorebot he takes with is. If this can't be found he'll ask the stay-behind bot to make note of the ID for the chorebot he takes with.
He will also leave a key in the needle-in-a-haystack chance it is useful to send encoded messages over other 'open broadcast' means. ]
[ ooc: TL;DR. Vincent attempts to hide a chorebot with a message for the Admiral. Message includes: 1. as above 2. Networkd IDs of the two chorebots being used in case they can be jury rigged into walkie talkies somehow. 3. In case that's just not a good option, a key from his past as a Turk to send coded messages through other sources. ]
