[76 would be lying if he said he didn’t expect this on some level. Maybe not this, exactly, but he and Ana have been prepared with bug-out bags since they arrived on Thisavrou, waiting for the other shoe to drop and preparing for the worst. This is that other shoe, and for once he’s honestly not quite sure where to go from here.

All there is to be done, however, is press onward, and if 76 knows how to do anything, it’s handle himself in a situation like this. He takes it upon himself to walk the periphery of the caravan, toting that giant gun and generally keeping an eye out for anything that might impede the journey. The state of the Midway Hub is mostly how he remembers it, except somehow more terrible, and he’s most easily found doing the following: 

>> Carrying heavy things. Really heavy things. Maybe for you? He might not even ask you if you’re having trouble before he lifts it, because there’s not any time to waste and you’re slowing us down, come on. This guy is weirdly strong? 
>> Patrolling with a gun that’s basically half the size of his own body. See: lifting heavy things.
>> Taking watch shifts at stupid hours when any normal person should be asleep.
>> Running off to fight monsters, probably. Saving you from one?]

[There’s no telling how long they’re going to be stuck here—or if there’s even a way out, so eventually he ends up camped out when the group needs to rest. He alternates between standing watch with his bigass gun, then busying himself with inventory and preparations. He only has so many supplies, and he’s acutely aware that there’s only so much he can do to make it last. Still, he’s not about to turn away anyone that might need something, if he can spare it. You just have to approach DadFort, first.

> Approach DadFort y/n?]

[This is, of course, a sight 76 thought he’d never see again. Despite his mixed feelings about the ship itself, it’s likely their best shot to get off the Midway Hub, and with the increased presence of the storms (something that 76 is not at all keen to expose himself to), it seems they have little choice but to take refuge in the wreckage of the ship.

Some parts are easier to navigate than others, and of course 76 is taking it upon himself to explore as much as he can, in the event there are still supplies—or, even better, the functioning Ingress.]

You shouldn’t go in there by yourself.

[Doesn’t matter who you are, really—apparently this guy knows better than you. The buddy system is always advisable.]

[I’ll do whatever the heck you want. Hit me up on plurk at whitticus]
