cruisin through a couple of these

[ It should strike her as odd that she's come to feel relief at 76's presence, but really, it was hard not to when someone has done nothing but support you and keep an eye on you after the initial rough patch of an arrival they all had. It's been six months getting to know this man, and he's proven himself nothing but capable. If a little too, ah... we'll call it clinical. He is pragmatic, efficient, and he has no patience for stupidity. (Or much else, really, if it wandered outside the bounds of compliance.) So at first, when they arrive and begin to explore what's offered to them, she orbits comfortably within his space here and there, whenever she careens around near him as she studies the remains of the research and notes, trying to parse what she can. It's a wasted enough effort; she was never involved with the Ingress technology and it mostly goes over her head.

It's the second floor that strikes them all with the reality of the situation, and even here, his pragmatism doesn't fail as he begins moving around checking for weaponry. So Angela stays close by, produces a face mask and some peppermint oil to dab inside, and dons it to begin checking the bodies for much of what she already suspected.

It's no formal autopsy by any means, but their cause of death is all quite obvious. What she does from there is close eyes, rearrange limbs, and produce some of the bedding from her pacdisc to wrap the bodies with the surplus of sheets she'd brought with her. It would spare some of the weaker-minded or the children present from the sight awaiting them, and she moves steadily along the bodies already checked by others to restore some dignity to them.

Likewise, she doesn't miss when 76 is chastised time and again for the dose of reality he presents in his actions, and eventually she's caught up to him once more. She isn't here to scold him; quite the opposite. ]
