hecu_marineHere's the thing. Five out of six Combine combat terraforming Synths are dead. Four of them were taken out by Resistance attacks coordinated from the Greenbrier HQ. The one in Africa was taken down by the local humans acting entirely on their own. One Advisor died at the hands of the humans in the most recent attack. The Combine are anything but stupid; they're going to be stacking up their defenses on the last Gene Worm like there's no other strategic target on Earth. And as good as he is, as fast a learner as he is, Manny Redondo isn't gonna be able to handle air support during an attack on a facility like that all by his lonesome.
Which means that Shephard's gonna have to fly as soon as humanly possible, never mind the fact that he jumped out of his own helicopter and wrecked it. Which means he's gonna have to get better faster than even bug juice treatment will allow.
There is one very tired, very bruised, generally unhappy-looking Marine in the Bar just now, although the fact that he's wearing a blue and green sweater with the eagle-globe-and-anchor emblem on it instead of his fatigues may throw some people off. He's debating whether or not he's up for trying to repair his old fatigues, or whether he should just cash them in as scrap and get a new set from the Bar. Seems like cheating somehow. He's also debating what filthy names to call the Bar because it won't give him a beer, so feel free to point and laugh.

Oct. 22nd, 2011 06:22 pmmakesthingsSam is working on the knife for Kait and that means a number of different things from crafting the blade to making a good mold for the handle and perfecting the mechanism inside.
The day is cold as Autumn has come to Milliways but Sam has his sleeves rolled all the way, because the forge is warm enough its even sending warm out.
All of the forge cats are in the warmest places possible and ignoring Sam as he does his work. Outside there's Teja's sign about commissions and Sam won't turn away any looking for warmth or for something made, they just might need to get his attention from his work.

Oct. 22nd, 2011 06:22 pmshreveport_wolfAlcide is not what you'd call a heavy drinker, but he does like to head down to the bar after a day of work and have a beer before he heads home. (If he's honest with himself, he can admit that this has been happening more and more since he broke things off with Debbie.) Mostly all he wants is a good beer, and he's not too picky about where he gets it.
He's still a little confused when the bar he steps into isn't quite the same as the bar he ends up in.
He pauses in the doorway--all six and a half feet of him--and frowns as he looks around the room. "...the hell?"

Oct. 22nd, 2011 08:31 pmlilium_evansiaeLily's eyes are on the parchment (her first letter from James over Christmas break) in her hands when she comes into Milliways this evening, so it takes her a moment to realize where she is.
She was expecting the front hall of her parents's house.
She's never just wandered into Milliways before.
"Brilliant," she says to no one in particular, and makes her way over to Bar.
She receives a second letter along with her tea, reads over it, and then folds both letters and puts them in her pocket. She can forward Harry's on to James when she writes him.
That taken care of, she picks a table, and directs the pouring of her tea with a few flicks of her wand.
Lily misses magic when she's home.
