[ No exceptional rants or helpful PSAs from Nathan this month. He put off talking to Peter, and now he can't, and as much as he knows that this has happened before, he can't help but feel like it's something different this time, something more sinister. He's worried, and his natural defense is to work it off. ]

Departments check in. Let's see what we've got to work with.

[ there are others here who cared about roy walker, if not to the same degree or in the same way that anderson cared. that doesn't matter so much, especially not now. ] Roy Walker is gone. [ if she looks and sounds tired and sad -- well, she is.

she does, however, straighten up almost immediately, shoulders going back and features smoothing out. ] If anyone wants lessons in self-defense, please contact me.

[ there is no way to fight what they've been facing lately with fists or weapons, but inactivity is something that needs combatting, too, and there is no guarantee that they won't face threats that are physical rather than mental again one of these days. if she can make a difference in any way, be it by keeping people from losing their mind because they're holed up in their bunks all day, or by preparing them for a future threat-- all she's ever wanted was to make a difference.

and besides, she needs something more to do, too. the time she used to spend with roy in medical has been freed up, hasn't it? ]

I've been meaning to offer.
