Update
Like my other two, not much has changed in Rick's life, as far as things pretty much went on as they were. Rick and Vic are now engaged (awww) and have moved into an apartment together. Rick is pretty upset about having lost his livelihood teaching at Byrne, but not because he feels he has to be the breadwinner - he just doesn't want to be a burden to Vic. He's also very distressed that the safe haven for all those kids is now gone. As Tactus, he continues with NG, mostly in order to thwart some of the atrocities the group has been part to - it's easy for him to lie about or give incorrect information from his visions since no one can tell what he's seeing or hearing but him. He also does what he can to affect things in the field, but he's not out in the field too often.
