Better not cry...

Who: Everyone
What: Missions
Where: Ranging from the Rig to the North Pole and back
When: December
Warnings/Notes: Combat.

Sometimes, the holiday season passes without note. Sometimes it's the most eventful time of the year, capable of giving a poor stock worker PTSD. Fortunately for the Rig, they don't work in customer service. No, they're troubleshooters, which means that it's up to them to solve whatever problems Jorgmund points them at.

It just so happens that, this month, Jorgmund's using them less as a tactical nuke and more as a shotgun.

Not for the first time since her arrival, she tells herself she's fine with this, with being alone. She didn't want him to stay and baby her. But it's a long lonely night in the infirmary, and it gets harder and harder to convince herself as the hours go on.

Whatever. Too late now.
