[hr]

Nikomedes suddenly jerked awake to the sound of his alarm going off. He took a few deep breaths, noticing that his entire body was covered in sweat. Great. [i]Another[/i] nightmare. Then again, when you had memories stretching back as far as the six, nightmares weren't all that uncommon. There were a lot of bad memories there. Pulling himself together, he took a quick shower and started getting ready for work. 

Niko lived in a small apartment in L.A. It had a small kitchen, and a living area with a bed in the corner. As he sat down for a quick breakfast, Niko got a quick look at his laptop. He had been running a few programs to try and find where the others had been hiding out. His intent was to memorize the data when it came up, then delete the entire application to protect the others. For better or worse, he had yet to meet any luck on that front. [color=8B4513]"What, do you guys not even go on the internet or something?"[/color] he muttered under his breath. Still, Niko didn't mind. It meant that the others were keeping themselves well hidden. In Niko's opinion, it would be better if they never encountered each other than if they were forced together.

Ready for the day, Niko hoped in his car and drove off to work. It had been a slow few days in the precinct, and he had been using the time to study his condition. Not that it did any good without his notes. Maybe this year he would finally have enough money for his trip to Japan to find his time capsule.
