Zagreus: hmmm....

-OD-

Frost: "Neither do I." -he pulls three pairs of dogtags out of his pocket- "I was given these after my squadmates went on their final mission. It was the only thing they could find."

-The dogtags say Manuel "Sandman" Hernandez, Ray "Grinch" Dawson, and William "Truck" Ruth.-

-Blessing-

Sonic: -grins, blushing- "Sorry. My mind takes a while to catch up with my feet."

General Maladius: "A distress signal is the standard fare. Or something even better but a way higher risk to obtain, the ship commanders' precious adoptive daughter."

-OD-

Blues: Keep those with you. It'll keep you grounded.

Zagreus; exactly what I was thinking general...and I do have an agent in place...

---

Wheatley: this is dull...when is the signal?

---

Blaze: I can see that...-she laughs-

-Yacht-

-Yelena listens in on this. While the logical side of her mind argues that emotional blackmail is exactly the kind of thing needed to take down the enemy, the asari side of her mind argues that is a dishonorable practice. She wonders what the meeting here is even about, having only recently arrived-

-Yacht

General Maladius: "Oh?"

Zagreus: My robotic subordiante wheatley was "captured" by the blessing during my recent clash with them...what they do not realise is he is fully functional and listening in on them...all it takes is a signal and he will be all over the brat...

Yelena: Please... if any of you have any semblance of honor, then don't kill her... -for now, can only watch and hope-

-Lab

Mina: *She comes in to notice Wheatley*

---

-Yacht

General Maladius: "Capture her but under any circumstance, don't kill her, she's a valuable asset to us. There's a reason she's called the Professor's Favorite Experiment."

Wheatley: Hello little girl...

---

Zagreus: signal is given...

-OD-

Frost: "I don't plan on losing them." -he stuffs them back in his pocket- "Those guys were my friends. We went through hell together." -chuckles- "We even saved the VP together. Imagine that — our squad just happens to be the ones responsible for the saving of the US vice president. That's something."

-Blessing-

-Sonic doesn't respond again, just pulls Blaze into a two-armed hug.-

-Lab

Mina: "Who are you?"

bedtime sorry

-OD-

Blues: That'll be a hell of a thing to tell the grandkids.

-OD-

-Ghost passes by the observation deck, before deciding to walk in-

---

-Yacht-

-Yelena lets out an almost invisible sigh of relief. For now, she continues to tinker with her Phalanx out of boredom-

-OD-

Blues: Hey, Ghost.

-Lab

-*Moments later, a scream can be heard*

Longram: *He's outside the lab* "Hm!? Mina!!" *He quickly enters the lab. Looks around to see a note.*

---

-Yacht

Mina: *Is teleported on top of the table with Wheatley. She looks around.* "!!" *Is now shaking in fear*

-Yacht-

-Yelena stares at Mina and feels a pang of sympathy. She forces it back, for now, and continues work on the Phalanx but can't help a few worried glances now and again-

-OD-

Ghost: Hey Blues, Frost. -sits down-

-OD-

Frost: "If I have 'em." -thinks- "I'm not sure what's going on with my family right now. Prob'ly wondering where I am." -reaches into his back pocket and pulls out a crumpled picture. He unfolds it.- "Two kids. One very lovely wife." -shows her the picture, which shows a younger-looking Frost, an attractive woman, and two young kids, one a boy, one a girl.-

-Frost nods at Ghost.-

Frost: "Hey."

-OD-

-Ghost looks at Frost's family picture.-

Ghost: So you've got a family, then. -nods- Lucky fucker.

-OD-

Blues: -Looking at the picture- You'll find them.

-OD-

Frost: -chuckles- "Trust me, Ghost. You would get tired of the kids real quick. I love 'em to death, but sometimes..." -shakes his head, a smile on his face.- "And Blues, I know exactly where they are — they're living in a smallish house, just a level above a shack, somewhere in southeast Texas." -sighs- "I may be a lucky fucker, but I sure ain't a rich one."

-OD-

Ghost: You have a family, and that's enough, Frost.

-OD-

Blues: Hell, I agree with Ghost. I'll never have a family.
