Dexter sat inobtrusively in a corner, hands wrapped around his now-lukewarm cup of coffee. Due to the absence of certain other pastimes, he was currently indulging himself in his new hobby: people-watching. The breakfast rush was slowly ( Read more... )

Well Nick had gotten roped into helping erect the shelters, which he didn't mind doing. Of course that left him slightly pumped up and rather sweaty and disgusting. Nick grabbed a shower and then decided that he needed food and coffee, and not necessarily in that order.

Freshly showered, Nick stepped into the messhall and grabbed himself a tray of food and a nice steaming mug of coffee. He then looked around and spotted a good table near the unobtrusive Dexter.

Nick set his tray down and slid into his seat, giving a nod to Dexter, "Morning." Well Nick was a good ole southern boy, so he felt the need to say something. Of course once he had fulfilled his obligations he did dive into his breakfast.

"Morning." Dexter inclined his head in response, assessing the man over the rim of his mug. Fairly well built - most likely not a scientist. Dexter might've seen him a couple times around the settlement, but nothing to make any sort of impression.

Dexter really hated the small-talk thing - he could do it, of course, because that's what normal people supposedly do , but he really didn't see the point to it (he's pretty sure everyone else secretly hates it too, but what would he know?). Normally, he would have felt obligated to do at least a token shooting of the breeze, but the guy was laying into his breakfast with a certain sort of gusto that Dexter admired. Social niceties fulfilled, Dexter returned to absently swirling his half-empty coffee around the mug.

Nick couldn't believe how hungry he was. It was probably a little lack of sleep combining with physical exertion to give him an adrenaline rush. He finished his meal in next to no time and leaned back to savor the cup of coffee before him, which was still warm.

Nick took a few sips before he turned and looked over at you for a moment, debating something. Finally Nick reached out his hand, "Nick Stokes. Good to meet you. Didn't see you out and about last night, did you manage to sleep through the klaxons or were you one of the good boys who stayed in bed?" The last bit is said with a grin, so as to not offend.

Dexter leaned forward, giving the offered hand a cordial shake. "Dexter Morgan." He leaned back in his seat. "Good little boy, that's me," he said, matching Nick's grin with his own.

He weighed the merits of a little fishing for information for about a split second, before mentally shrugging and going for it. "Slept through it all, in fact. Didn't even know anything happened 'til this morning." It was a bit of a stretch, but he forged on through. "You know anything about-" he vaguely gestured toward the 'gate, "-that?" He took another sip of his coffee, making a face when he found it was almost completely cold.

Matt watched Dexter retreat, but soon turned his attention to his breakfast, and to Nick. "Helluva night," he commented, in between inaugural mouthfuls. "But, things seem to have settled down now. Did you get a rough count of the number of new arrivals?"

'Cause, you know, they meant that many more heads to count and keep track of...

[Nick] cbeckett_md August 7 2008, 13:54:52 UTC

Nick too watched Dexter head off before turning back to the bossman, "Yeah, it was definitely interesting." He paused a moment before nodding, "It looked to be between 100 and 150 survivors... give or take." He wasn't doing an exact head count.

Nick held up a hand a moment, then rose from his seat. He headed over to get some more coffee before returning to the table, "So boss, anything on the agenda for today?" Well he's already awake and wired, so why not work.

[Matt] wolfcat August 8 2008, 12:02:21 UTC

Matt flashed a grin at that. "Oh, you know," he said, "more of the same: Keeping the peace, trying to figure out where the hell those missing people went to. Any closer to getting the guy from the O'Neill case?"

That was the doable one.

"Tracks suggested he headed towards the logging or the mines, yeah? Made it out there, yet?"

God knows, as much as he'd wanted to, he hadn't. Every time he turned around, there was something here to delay him: a land dispute, his own stymied investigation in that girl's disappearance, klaxons going off in the middle of the night...

[Nick] cbeckett_md August 8 2008, 14:04:43 UTC

Nick shook his head, "No I haven't had the chance. I was planning to get out that way today and look things over, see if I could find something." Nick is not a tracker, but he's been hunting before.

As for the girl, the more time that grows the more likely that they are searching for a body, and not a girl. Nick is not looking forward to his first homicide investigation, "I'll let you know if I find anything, and don't worry... I'm no hotdog." He won't try and do anything overly heroic... or stupid.
