Here'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.
