If you give me your opinion on this, somebody wants us to check the beacon on Eastwash for a family member that they have not heard from since September 21st, but this was just their last known location.
00:13
It's more of a missing person.
00:14
So that's something you're willing to check that we don't know they're there? Go ahead.

the beacon is closed already,
00:26

00:33
They'll only offer to take a message and pass it on if they see the individual, but won't confirm if they're there or not.
