Gyre glances in Luka's direction when he asks that uhhhh incredibly morbid question?? He doesn't want to know that at all. Or if he does have to know it, he wants to know it in context with the other missions.

The realization of the terrible news they're about to be presented with does nothing to actually prepare him for the list, and then for the news that only one of them is still alive. He falls completely silent, losing track of the first two answers entirely. Sure, he should probably figure out what an AESS Director is, but all he can manage to stutter in this moment is a soft, "What happened to them?"
