Joe arrived in the IND with a growing headache and obviously, the remedy for that is to drink more. He had a couple of shots of whiskey plus a bottle of beer, either choice he took around with him as he said hi, smiled, and caught up with some friends. He also talked about the dragon rights ish whenever prompted. His view: give the dragons a break, they're too old to bother with human annihilation. Nothing extraordinary happened to him and he was one of the earliest to go home because the guy has a kid to get back to.
