A chain of would-be rescuers getting in over their heads.
[ Like trying to save someone from drowning only to be dragged under yourself, or a cave diver trying to recover someone, and... well. ]
Bet that's probably happened before.
[ Would be a good reason for them to put off exploration as a priority, and all. But either way, that's the past, and wondering about it won't change the present. Ingo's obviously flagging at this point and honestly Emmet isn't that much better off ... detour for fuel and or something sweet, maybe? ... No, maybe not. Home station— what is currently acting as it here, anyway— first. They can pick things up from the kitchens and supply rooms at the Spire if they really want.
Honestly, if Emmet could help them get back faster he would. For now though, all he can really do is stick close and keep an eye on Ingo, just in case he's needed? Support and all. Doesn't have to be physical either. ]
