[On one hand, it's a relief, and J takes a moment or two just to catch his breath. It helps.]
[On the other hand, a tune going silent usually means death. Gold is still standing there, plain as day, but J can't pick up on his tune at all - it's like he's one of the robot bodyguards following musicians around. If he can do that, that means that he - and Silver, and Santiago, and Blanche, if they all can do that trick - can pretty much sneak up on him and he wouldn't know until it was too late. The thought is chilling.]
[He could try to get up; he could try to get his communicator back; or he could stay here and get his bearings and listen. That last one seems like the best plan right now.]
