It’s the last by that speaker though?
Sure, but it says last recorded broadcast of the ship, not the person
You’re hired
From the source 2M has spoken at 7:26, hours afterwards
Yeah, but you said the screenshot
He still said it during a life or death situation. I respect that.

waterlogged, cells are swollen with ocean water probably
classic boneswell of the skull
