@SurrenderMyHart @Tingling_Lemons {grins and gives you a squeeze} I knew I liked you... Keep an eye out for bugs, okay? We need people who can think for themselves.

@BugHunter_USCM @Allied_Command @Xeno_Paranoia @SmartSynthetic @PixieInferno_ @ShatteredNerve @SubmersedIre -- {Gaze flickering to #Newt, wanting to ease the obviously worried girl's mind, she arched a brow and nodded.} Whatever happened... --

@BugHunter_USCM @Allied_Command @Xeno_Paranoia @SmartSynthetic @PixieInferno_ @ShatteredNerve @SubmersedIre -- #Hicks a rueful smile, she stepped back to her brother's side, ducking her head.} We're not exactly on their list of favorite people. --

@BugHunter_USCM @Allied_Command @Xeno_Paranoia @SmartSynthetic @PixieInferno_ @ShatteredNerve @SubmersedIre -- Fuck me... Company's damn keen on keeping you under wraps, huh? Well, you don't have anything to worry about from us. {Shooting --

@BugHunter_USCM @Allied_Command @Xeno_Paranoia @SmartSynthetic @PixieInferno_ @ShatteredNerve @SubmersedIre -- Responsible for the collapse of Hadley's Hope. Being housed at some top secret facility... {huffing} That funeral was a charade? --

@BugHunter_USCM @Allied_Command @Xeno_Paranoia @SmartSynthetic @PixieInferno_ @ShatteredNerve @SubmersedIre -- hear the truth? All we ever got from Weyland Yutani was a heaping helping of bullshit. You three died. You were missing in action. --

@BugHunter_USCM @Allied_Command @Xeno_Paranoia @SmartSynthetic @PixieInferno_ @ShatteredNerve @SubmersedIre -- {Stepping back, she scrubbed her hand over her face, smiling warmly at the pair.} Do you have /any/ idea how much it means to actually --

@BugHunter_USCM @Allied_Command @Xeno_Paranoia @SmartSynthetic @PixieInferno_ @ShatteredNerve @SubmersedIre -- her eyes went glassy as she stepped forward, throwing her arms around #Hicks and #Newt.} {muffled} /Thank/ you. Do you.... ---

@BugHunter_USCM @Allied_Command @Xeno_Paranoia @SmartSynthetic @PixieInferno_ @ShatteredNerve @SubmersedIre {Breath hitching at the ring of sincerity in #Hicks' tone, something sorely lacking in every. damn. conversation with a company man, --

@Allied_Command @Xeno_Paranoia @BugHunter_USCM @SmartSynthetic @PixieInferno_ @ShatteredNerve @SubmersedIre -- standing here? {Throat going tight, she braced for the worst, hope cruelly rising.} Is... Is Ellen alive?

@Allied_Command @Xeno_Paranoia @BugHunter_USCM @SmartSynthetic @PixieInferno_ @ShatteredNerve @SubmersedIre -- You're... You're /dead/. I've seen the grave. You're buried between my grandmother and a colonist, Rebecca Jordan. /How/ are you --

@Allied_Command @Xeno_Paranoia @BugHunter_USCM @SmartSynthetic @PixieInferno_ @ShatteredNerve @SubmersedIre -- incredulity.} Hicks. I've seen your file. Dwayne Hicks. Corporal. Squad leader of the expedition to Hadley's Hope. Died in action. --

@Allied_Command @Xeno_Paranoia @BugHunter_USCM @SmartSynthetic @PixieInferno_ @ShatteredNerve @SubmersedIre -- {Mind racing, she jolted as she suddenly placed where she'd seen #Hicks before, a startled laugh bursting from her, giving way to --

@Allied_Command @Xeno_Paranoia @BugHunter_USCM @SmartSynthetic @PixieInferno_ @ShatteredNerve @SubmersedIre -- to say... Wait. {Blinking, she stared at #Hicks, recognition prickling at her as she studied his face.} Do I know you? --

@Allied_Command @Xeno_Paranoia @BugHunter_USCM @SmartSynthetic @PixieInferno_ @ShatteredNerve @SubmersedIre -- to the girl at his side, she nipped her lip, worried at her rapidly draining color. Well. That just wouldn't do.} Hey, I just wanted --

@Allied_Command @Xeno_Paranoia @BugHunter_USCM @SmartSynthetic @PixieInferno_ @ShatteredNerve @SubmersedIre -- {firmly} You did a good thing, dude. Not your fault the guy was too broken to see it. {Turning to #Hicks, gaze flickering curiously --

@Allied_Command @Xeno_Paranoia @BugHunter_USCM @SmartSynthetic @PixieInferno_ @ShatteredNerve @SubmersedIre -- {shouting} Asshole! {Huffing, she rubbed her nose, turning to #Lucas with a wry smile.} No good deed goes unpunished, huh? --
