Stop me if you've heard the news already.

At the mid-month mark, I have a small team* flying down to the Kamchatka Peninsula to reclaim the deserted submarine base town of Bechevinka. The estimated capacity would be just shy of 900, above and below ground combined, if all the buildings are deemed viable by our resident architect. There've been long-time rumors of submarines being left down there after the Cold War ended, and I'm hoping that holds true. We could use more active vessels.

Wish them happy hunting.

ENGINEERING + DOM.

Recommendations for getting through thick metal bunker doors? Would a blowtorch get through the locking mechanisms?

TEAM KAMCHATKA.

With all of my chest, it is my sacred duty as mission lead to advise the following things:

Do not pet the sea lions. If you go in the water, be careful of any rusted wreckage. We don't have any tetanus shots on board.
If it's brown, lay down.
Listen to Dom. He'll be your lead on the ground.
Dom, listen to Nadine or Ishaan is going to push me off the ship.

[...] RONEN.

When do you want Alonzo back?

ADRI & PHILIP.

I need to confess something. [....] It's about Jamie.

(*ooc note: all relevant leadership were off-screen alerted to these volunteers this morning! they are delilah, apollo, jamie, and sloane. ishaan already knows.)

Invaluable, then.

I'm going alone.

You're not telling Nikola because you know he'll tell you this plan is too dangerous, and then he'll worry.

We just made up, Dom.

Maryle and I just made up and if she found out I'd hid something of this nature from her moments later, she would claw me until I bled and then fail to call me any medical assistance.

He wouldn't want to ruin his manicure on making me bleed.

Nor would he need nails to cut. [...] Are you going for anything aside from the implant removal files?

To see if Alba signed the divorce paperwork.

~~Is this because of Ph~~ I know I won't convince you to change your plans, but I will be rather concerned for your well-being.

I won't be responsible if something happens to an escort. If it will make you worry less, I'll tell Nikola.

It will only make me worry less for selfish reasons.

Because you don't want to keep things from him?

Because I'm having to relearn the risks inherent in doing so.

Fine. I'll tell him.

[...] Thank you.

I think we'll fuck on your bed the entire time. Rekindle old flames, pick up where we left off, etc.

Just don't be mad when he screams my name instead of yours.

You don't worry me.

I shouldn't.

But fuck on his bed.

You were so insistent that he and I sleep together — that's when you should have made such requests. The time has passed. I hope you enjoy València.
