John smiled shaking the hands of the two other Nightmares, and tried to ignore when the sensors in his hand detailed the amount of steel, plexiglass, and circuitry in the other hands. He had to take a moment before replying and look at his own hand, he really isn’t sure what ot make of that at the moment, knowing it might come in handy later. But all the things his new limbs and senses could do are still overwhelming. He could tell it’s the same with his squadmates in various ways. It’d likely take them all awhile to truly get used to their new abilities. He waited politely by his bags, for the others to return with theirs.

While they were returning be went looking for that map again he had been using, bringing the overlay up over his vision again, and working to relocate the place they needed to go. By the time they had returned he had oriented himself. And without really realizing it had started trying to create wireless connections to the other two people. Attempting to share what he had found. He could sense six others like them, but none of them registered as squad N3. Though it’d be easy enough, or so his database told him, to set up connections with the other six, he didn’t feel the need too.

By the time his squadmates rejoined him he had already found their barracks on the map, and was starting to make his way there. He didn’t expect them to fall in line or anything, he wasn’t there leader. But he did hope they had gotten the information packet he had tried to unconsciously send with the location.

John opened the door to the barracks and stepped inside. Something was off. He moved further in, finding himself in a hallway, where were the beds? The small door leading into a lavatory, the kit storage room? He had done some research on military barracks, this was abnormal. He went to one of the three doors along the hallway and opened it, finding a surprisingly spacious room for one, with bed, desk, a small heater and a bookcase even. As well as a large heavy two door locker and a wardrobe. He turned to look at the others, “They gave us a whole building and separate rooms? Is this the same for all the Nightmares I wonder?” He dropped his bags beside the door then slipped back out into the hallway heading to the far end. There he found a large lounge like area, with a television and a computer tucked into a corner. A sense of ownership already going through him, “Guess this is home.” He thought outloud.
