[hr][hr][center][h1][i][b][color=0072bc]Thana Martin[/color][/b][/i][/h1][img]https://i.ibb.co/72q4NFp/Sparrow1.jpg[/img][hr][hr][b][color=0072bc]Location:[/color][/b] Camp Mexico Beach: Quarantine (W: Briefing) [b][color=0072bc]Skills:[/color][/b] N/A[/center][hr] Thana sat there, listening as Gunny retold the events in dry detail of what had happened. She stared out blankly to the room in front of her. Refusing to look anywhere but from a single point at the wall in the back. This was her story. She had written the facts down that she knew and others filled in the rest. She had been told what she wasn't awake, or even alive, for already. She knew the complete report and had read it already, doubling checking for accuracy. She had seen the images. Her own reflection. She knew what she had done and the work it took to ensure she was alive today. Thana didn't want to sit there, rehashing it again. It was a painful memory, still much alive in her own mind. The physical pain had died down, for the most part, but even now, it still stung both mentally and psychically. Yet there she was. A debriefing was a common practice in the military. And in truth it was the easiest way to hand over the information to people. She knew if she hadn't they would question her, ask her, drill her most likely. People were always like that, demanding answers. Thana didn't. It wasn't something she could bring herself to do. Her eyes went to Ash for the briefest of moments before she looked away. She would never ask him what took so long, what had had endured to get there. She wouldn't make him go through that again just to sate her own curiosity. To do so to someone was cruel. To someone you supposedly trusted showed you never did truly trust them. It was one thing to question those you didn't know, that you didn't trust but once trust was established, to Thana, no explanation was ever required again. That was the purpose of trust. To trust someone with your six, and your heart. To trust what they did without explanation. No, she wouldn't do that to him, or the four she had lead and had their backs for over a year. If they volunteered it that was one thing but if they didn't that was their choice and she wouldn't put them in that position. Ever. And now that she was back, she would do what she could to ensure they didn't have to explain what they had been through anymore. They were there, that's all that mattered. By the time her dad was done speaking, Thana seemed oddly detached from the moment. She heard what the others had said quietly. Caught the small nods or looks. Slowly she stood up and cleared her throat. [color=0072bc]"Gunny, I request that Polawski, Carmichael, and Newman be returned to Conference at this point. And that the remaining members of the Newnan Safe Zone be brought to Briefing as I have some vital information on the settlement and perhaps some closure for them."[/color] Her voice was dry as she spoke but firm. [hr][hr][center][h1][i][b][color=a187be]Tatiana Newnan[/color][/b][/i][/h1][img]https://i.ibb.co/bXv0wVz/Tatisitting.jpg[/img][hr][hr][b][color=a187be]Location:[/color][/b] Camp Mexico Beach: Quarantine (W: Conference Room) [b][color=a187be]Skills:[/color][/b] N/A[/center][hr] Tatiana giggled a bit. Of course he wouldn't forget. Much of their relationship before Newnan fell was built on some rather silly things but it was who they were, or had been back then. His colorful bookbag, playing Monopoly, drawing hearts on walls with their names in them, doing the chicken dance. Jack made her smile so much back then. Back when she was bubbly and bright. Maybe they could have a small part of that again here. Sure, this place was rigid about things but it was working. Over five years here and still standing? Being able to be as rigid as they were. And they had a lot of different people and personalities it seemed. And yet it still worked. She wouldn't let herself get soft though, yet looking at a good majority of the people here that they had met, these people weren't soft. They had survived as well. Made her think of Miss Sally. Looking at the woman at first one would have thought she was just a kind grandmotherly type but out of all the people of Newnan, Miss Sally would have been the last person she would have ever wanted to piss off. Maybe in a way Miss Sally was still around, even if only in spirit. Looking over at her husband she smiled at him and placed her hand in his. Standing up slowly. She half figured he wanted to chicken dance again. It would be something he would do. The man was horrible dancer. Okay, he could slow dance. But even that took some time for him to get. He had been known to step on her toes a lot when they first started dancing. [color=a187be]"I'd love to,"[/color] she said as she waited to see just what he was going to do. Jamie was fine, he had toys and while there was maybe one or two people she trusted with Jamie,she wasn't afraid if he crawled or walked around. The room was sealed, he couldn't go far and would be in their sight if he did start getting into something. Her eyes followed Jamie as he waddled over to where the TV was and grabbed Waynes leg as the movie started. Yeah, Wayne could watch the kid for a dance. He seemed protective of her and Jamie since they arrived and she had spent nearly the last week with him trying to teach that crazy man to dance. He seemed alright in her book. Crazy, yes. Homicidal, probably. Hurt Jamie, nah. [hr][hr][center][h1][i][b][color=598527]Wayne Maldonado[/color][/b][/i][/h1][img]https://i.ibb.co/MDs7Svy/Waynestaring.jpg[/img][hr][hr][b][color=598527]Location:[/color][/b] Camp Mexico Beach: Quarantine (W: Conference Room) [b][color=598527]Skills:[/color][/b] N/A[/center][hr] Wayne was fine with others coming over and watching the movie with him. To him everyone should experience the joy of Mel Brooks. The man was comedic gold. Looking over towards Riley when she asked he laughed. [color=598527]"History of the World, Part I. Hey Sportacus! Should get in on this shit! They have a great scene about Rome,"[/color] he laughed. Oh yeah, it had a scene about Rome, one that would probably make Nigels blood boil. That alone was worth offering a seat to the man if he wanted to come and join. The movie was absurd but that was what Mel Brook did and the cast, well the cast was awesome. And the movie had everything. Unics, cavemen, treasure baths! It was nice. Okay, maybe not thrilling, but nice. It was no Princess Bride but it worked for him! Looking down as he felt something on his knee he spotted Jamie. [color=8dc73f]"Hey there, little kick ass,"[/color] he chuckled. If this kid turned out to half half the right hook his momma did the kid would be just fine in this world. Even if Wayne didn't like kids, it wasn't like he was going to hurt him. Wayne was crazy, he wasn't stupid. He'd seen what the kids mom could do with just her fists towards someone who hadn't hurt her child. He did NOT want to see what she was capable of if someone endangered Jamie. Okay, maybe he did, but as long as he wasn't the target. Reaching down he picked the kid up and placed him in his lap as he got comfortable. [color=598527]"Okay, pay attention kid. First thing you're gonna fucking learn is critics are everywhere,"[/color] he said as the movie started up.

Riley was heading off and she gave her nod. Sure, she'd let her know who won. Anyways seemed she went back over to the other bald girl. Yeah, they were a couple, that was easy enough to spot the way they were together. Looking back over towards Hunter she smirked. "Yeah, I get ya. Have to admit though, I like Checkbook. Didn't at first. Got called that because my mouth kept writing checks my ass couldn't cash," she said with a laugh as she took a step away from the table so Hunter had room to shoot. "Naw, back then it was basic food just to survive, a lot of fish, god so much fish, I was craving a fuckin' MRE by the time I got out," she added with a smile. "Chili Mac and Cheese - together, boom!" she said making a snap of her fingers. "Hrm." Nikki thought for a moment. "Three almost four years now. Martin Musketeers picked me up on the road, saved my ass from some Douchers. Was nearly starved to death. Would have gone anywhere for a Klondike bar," she said as she chewed her gum. "Nearly got kicked out about six months later for breaking into the distillery and getting shit faced. But hey, Maddog has a soft spot for troubled teens." She grinned a bit. "He keeps my ass out of trouble." Squatting down she watched Hunter. "I'm only 20, well 5 if you want to count my actual birthdays," she said. then she realized that might not make since. "Birthday's February 29th," she added. Seeing him miss the shot and curse she laughed. "Oh Boo-Fuckin-Hoo," she teased as she stood back up and took the pool stick back in her hand as she walked around trying to find a shot. "But hey, thanks, one for me." Winking before she looked back at the table. Leaning over she lined up a shot and took it. It went in. "Oh, I got you on the run now," she taunted him. Walking around slowly she looked for another shot. "Hey, that's your dog in the Vet quarantine isn't it? She's a real damn sweetie. Loves the fucking beach, I gotta take her out later for her walk. She's been a lot of fun to have around," Nikki added in passing before taking another shot. It went in as well. Third shot she scratched and shrugged. "You're up." Over in Briefing, Gunny looked over at his daughter and nodded. "Granted, Panama, take Polawski, Newman, and Carmichael back to Conference and bring me," he started before looking down at his papers. "Payne, Ridgeway, and Mr. and Mrs. Newnan," he said before sliding a folder over to Thana. "Sure thing Boss," Panama said as he motioned for Alexander, Manny, and Thalia to come with him. "Come on y'all, let's get you back to the others." Walking out he waited for them to join him before heading down to Conference and dropping them off. "Amelia, Riley, Tatiana, and Jack. Gunny needs ya in Briefing now," he said. Waiting for them before leading the new group over to briefing and letting them have a seat. Gunny sitting down, this was Thana's show for this round.
