Bradley was in the rec room. He was back to his eternal struggle with improving the television, although at this point it might have made more sense just to build a new one. But this was now a matter of pride. He would best the foul beast, if it took him another month to do so. It had won several battles, but he was determined to win the war. ( Read more... )

The rec room in the compound was a little boring. There was a television in need of tuning and about fifteen years worth of cable upgrades, a stack of books half in Cyrillic, and a few games including a stack of cards that was short the queens and Monopoly with the thimble turned into a rather rude shape ( Read more... )

Since spraining her wrist from her fall off the van in the garage, Ophelia hadn't been able to do much of anything. What was worse was the new people. A rather excitable person and another more contained. And then someone else she hadn't been able to read properly ( Read more... )

Back so soon? Scion was used to keeping to himself, he enjoyed the time alone. His Halloween was spent far from the others, as per usual, in his quarters, reading. Scion was becoming more used to hiding himself from his other team members. He would occasional see Jane, or Martini, men X-13 saw as more tolerable than the rest of the X-team but there ( Read more... )

If I catch anyone in the act of wanton vandalism around the compound, there will be consequences.

With everything being so damn cold, Jane avoiding the whole 'lets go outside during the day' thing because it was just insane, and really, he didn't like cold that much. His stint serving in Antarctica had proved that to him years ago. Instead he sat in the mess hall, his fire arm taken apart on the table in front of him, cleaning it out ( Read more... )
