I quickly got to my PLF encampment without much trouble and fell asleep in my cot.
I was gonna hear all about this in the morning...



Waking up late in the cot wasn't the worst thing about today, I was yelled at for failing the mission, got less money, and was put on guard duty for the rest of the day. I knew I wanted to get out but it would leave me on the streets starving and doing petty theft, also running from the occasional robots that seemed to take the dead away. Most of the good days were left behind when the gang split up ever since the robots destroyed our base, killing two and injured many more.
Unless the answer is to find a new gang, maybe that alex guy would help me form it? But for now I must look like I'm searching for robots...


How can you guys let this die already?

I had returned to ATC, and was leaning back in my chair, absentmindedly typing out some reports, when somebody knocked on my door.
"Come in," I said, turning slightly and looking up. I tapped ctrl+s, then closed the word processor. "The results I asked for?"
The woman standing in the doorway to my office replied, "Yes."
I raised an eyebrow when she didn't hand over the report. I could tell she was nervous. Must've been an intern. "So. I kinda need those today, if you don't mind."
"Oh, yes. Here," she exclaimed, hurrying to hand me the report.
"Thank you, also, I need a coffee, no milk, lots of sugar."
She stared at me indignantly.
"I'm kidding, now, go get back to work or something."
She scrambled out of the office, closing the door behind her. I quickly turned my head to the report in my hand. I stared at it, quickly scanning the report for information. Apparently, the experiment was a success, and the armor was excellent at dispelling heat. This would prove quite useful in combat.


Off with your second paged-ness.
