[One would expect Leos to be absolutely devastated when you find him after the mission. With who died... who went missing and how badly he fared. The screaming and crying all the way through... that he would be an inconsolable mess. Yet instead when you find him, he's humming cheerfully as her walked through the base with several packs of pudding. A little too cheerfully. Something was worrying about this.]
Oh... hey! One minute...
[He snaps off a pack and places it in your hand, giving you an almost heartrendingly sunny smile.]
Friendship pudding now. Just so I don't forget like I did a lot of times before.
I've got a meeting with Progtech that Lana's taking me to so I won't be back until waaaay later.
[2] [Later that day...]
[It was closing onto midnight and still no Leos. One would almost be worried as to what was happening to him... but he's a grown dude. He can take care of himself right?]
H... elp....h...help...m..me...
[Except that belief would be refuted. Utterly. Walking down an intersecting corridor was a horrifically bloodied Leos with a frighteningly vacant look in his eyes from the absolutely gigantic amount of pain he was feeling before he just collapsed into the ground and bled there.]
[3]
[The good news first: Leos isn't in any danger of dying. The bad news: All those wounds and injuries? They weren't random. They were surgical scars. It was less about what could have been removed... but more about what was put in. Specifically it seems that Leos was now the proud owner of a large amount of cybernetics. Ones that in theory could allow him to literally interface with machinery and link his mind to it.]
...
[The surgery itself was horrifically invasive and traumatic as Leos can attest to. Diagnosis revealed that a minimal amount of anesthetic was used in order to ensure that the cybernetics were properly linked to his body. As he recovers in the infirmary you can see Lana sparing the Raven a glance before walking away.]
[Could she... and by extension PROGTECH be responsible for this...?]
[As Leos is still in no state to be visited... Discuss this matter with others/Confront Lana?]

[After a few seconds of staring, Hetepheres takes the pudding with her chitinous hand.]
What is the meeting about?

[Yeah he remembers their reaction.]
Anyway the meeting's just some really unimportant stuff. Just some adjustments to Pale Rider that could really help since we might need to rebuild it from the ground up!

Just some really unimportant stuff, you say? Is that all? I would not think that gathering data for creating a completely new mecha is unimportant...
[She stares at Leos piercingly. Slowly, she lifts the cracker to her mouth and bites it, without looking away.]

[Leos looked aside, rubbing at his arm anxiously.]
I feel terrible about it but I can't just sit around crying...
I already lost two friends before it happened. Mr Denzel would have wanted me to keep going. So I'm going to do everything I can to get stronger and help everyone here.
So I can protect my friends.

[Leos smiles brilliantly at Hetepheres.]
I'll stay alive, and I'll stay in one piece.
... Thank you for looking out for me!
