She felt uneasy about entering this place time and again, when she technically didn't need to, but each time was easier. Every time nothing happened, and there's not a virus unleashed or some sort of cyborg on the loose, she felt the tightness in her chest ease a little. Odd now, because the situation outside was so dire. They won't have air

Wesley sets down his load of water bottles and starts helping Winifred to try to organize the space. He's a little damp from the warm rain outside and takes a moment to wipe at his glasses with his handkerchief in an effort to see better.

"Well, I suppose that should have been expected, with the climate controls acting up." He comments offhandedly, then pauses to look around the lobby once his spectacles are back on.

"It's still very hard to believe that Angel took over this place. Became its CEO. When Lorne told me I was rather shocked, to be honest."

Fred turns around at the comment. "It was pretty hard for me to believe, and I was there," she says, shaking her head. "I didn't know what was at stake. But...even if I did, I might've still argued it. I don't know." She doesn't remember Connor at all as a result of it, so it's pretty hard to make that judgment call.

She busies herself shifting a package of food around, setting it flush with the others, and then she looks back. "Things were pretty messed up here, as you can imagine. They were good at keeping us busy fighting the small battles...but we did fight them, at least." She had hated most of it. The time she spent with Wesley near the end was a welcome respite, but she's not about to bring that up.

"Walking into this place still makes the shackles at the back of my neck stand on end. Quite frankly, the thought of working here...makes me just a little queasy."

Wesley stoops to make a quick mental inventory of the supplies in order to ascertain what they are still missing.

"I can't imagine what set of circumstances led to Angel - and the rest of us for that matter - signing on. Whatever the reasons were, I presume they were compelling."

"And self-serving as well."

This coming from Illyria as she enters the place. Her eyes stray from the shell to Wesley; her lips thin and it's odd to see them together. She chooses to stay behind them, and merely watches.
