Day 265 [Video : Encrypted to DF] [Action : Open]
[Video | Encrypted to Defense Force members only]

This fluff thing is going from ridiculous to problematic and veering toward dangerous. They're in virtually every area of the prison now, even inside most buildings. Food supplies are starting to run low and the information we have indicates that they'll just keep reproducing at this rate left unchecked.

There's been a suggestion to eliminate them. Let's call that plan G. Now we just need plans A - F.

Knowing this place I expect the wardens to have it wrapped up by morning, but I don't want to leave it all in their caring hands. We need people on patrol making sure no one is actually buried under them and we need people collecting and protecting remaining food stocks not just for the team but so we can be prepared to distribute it to everyone if it comes to that. I think pushing them into sector 6 could be an option for us. [Of course they will likely get killed in there, but it is less direct.] But I want to hear more options. Get creative. Get chatty.

We need to do what we need to do, but don't forget these are designated as pets and harming them comes with a price tag since that's one of the rules around here.

One more thing. When we have the man power to dedicate to it I want the investigative team checking into souls and restoring them. [Yes, she really just said that.]

[Action | Open]

[She has been and will be out and about trying to assess and deal with the problem. She can also be found at headquarters.]

We should have some kind of contest and get medals. [She looks at Ianto thoughtfully. There's compassion there. She knows how hard it is to lose someone.

And then he talks about Reid and what she means to him. She hopes so. Sometimes he clings to her so tightly and the can believe it. She can believe that everything will be okay. Good even. Great maybe. And sometimes she counts the days since his return and thinks about how they haven't even kissed yet and it just feels like she is someone who he used to be in love with.] I don't really know how to help him. I"m pretty sure he'd hate this if he knew I was talking about it with someone else. [But god, she's needed this. Just saying some of it out loud.]

[He gets it, the isolation and loneliness that goes alone with this sort of situation. He hadn't really had anyone to talk to because they'd all be there when Lisa lost control. Everyone he could have talked to about it had helped gun he down in the end. So if he can listen to someone who needs it now he will.] I won't mention it to anyone. Has he told you about what happened beyond losing someone? Or is he trying to deal with it all on his own?

I...know her name was Maeve and she was a geneticist. Not my favorite career path. [Most surviving geneticists in her world were hard at work torturing mutants and humans alike to bring out their "full potential."] She was killed by her stalker. He was shot in the arm.

I guess the day she died was also the first day he met her, but they'd been talking for almost a year.

...Longer than I've known him.

Pretty sure he blames himself.

	[There's no part of that story that isn't heartbreaking and his face says as much. Sometimes he hates life for never having any easy answers.] I imagine he must, but I don't think anyone is really to blame except for the person who pulled the trigger. It's never easy to say that to someone and have them hear it, is it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

No. Never is. [She has her own guilt over deaths. Her parents. Her students. Others she couldn't save over the years. She didn't even really know their names. She blames Apocalypse and Piotr but she's in there too with an extra large portion of blame.]

I don't want him to hurt, but I can't phase that away.

[Here's the thing she keeps thinking. The thing she can never say to Reid.] They could bring her here. [What difference does death make here?]

I think whoever is in charge of bringing people here is more considerate than we think. They could have brought me and Jack from anywhere, but they chose him from my future. From... From after I die. [Still working on saying that without sounding scared.] They could have brought us from the same timeline but they gave him the second chance he wanted instead. I don't know, maybe I'm reading too much into it. But I think in their own odd way they want us to be alright. They didn't need to bring Reid back, but maybe they saw how much you missed him.

	I didn't realize you were such an optimist. You know, they also probably could have seen how much I wanted him to stay before they took him. I mean, god, some of the things we'd talked about... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sometimes it's either optimism or giving up entirely. Just because he loved her doesn't mean he can't love you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2014-04-22 06:56 pm UTC (link)
	Well... I know I can't give up. [Could it be easier? Could it save her pain in the long run? Maybe. But she can't. Even if she thinks Ianto got those tenses wrong.] I'm not wired that way anyway. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Good. I'll do the same. ...Hey, Ianto? [Thank you for this.] ...I hope you get yours. (Reply to this) (Parent)
