It made sense, it is rare that what is available will be perfect for the needs at hand. Even his old dentistry wasn't perfect when he had bought it. Some walls got removed, others added, a few new water fixtures. All sorts of odds and ends were needed to set up the place. So much time, blood, sweat, tears, and a rather hefty loan. And now? He was here helping the people here make some progress in this small world. The basement where Manny had to clean was something... challenging. The basement was a mess, very used and seemed like a lot had been done since the last cleaning. There was a lot to do, and it would take him the better part of his work day to do it. "[color=00aeef]Damn...[/color]" He spoke to no one in particular. The cleaning didn't bug him too much, but the basement it self was a bit more stressful. Though it wasn't as confined as the cell he had been trapped in while at Eden, it was an isolated space with no openings or exits other then the basement door itself. He tried to hide the unease on his face, but he had little luck there. It was open enough though he figured he could tough through it. And so far, he did. It wasn't easy, and he had to remind himself regularly that this is NOT Eden. This was a new place, a safe place. Even if the basement gave an unfriendly impression with the horrible mess. Following things up with Lisa helped though. Talking, casual conversations, and the like helped a lot to get through these kinds of things. She had been here a decent amount of time, and for medical history, seemed pretty limited. Made sense but it was nice to see that there were people interested in taking up the trade. "[color=00aeef]Glad to have the company.[/color]" To Manny's surprise, there was a fellow survivor who was into conversation! Where he had grown to treat the fellow members of team Eden as family, it was clear he was the only one who was really into casual conversations. "[color=00aeef]Before all of this started, what were you hoping to get into? Was it medical like you are now?[/color]" He assumed not but he was interested none the less. "[color=00aeef]Or was it something else?[/color]" He knew as well as anyone life takes turns that make it so original plans don't always work out. At the rate he was going before in his youth, he wasn't expected to be able to do more then get into trouble. Now? He was a dentist, a field medic, and afraid of basements. Go figure how fast can change huh? He gave a nod towards taking care of plaster to start, it was a simple task that should take him too long to do. And he would go about the room doing whatever tasks were available to do until he had to leave.

Hunter's past experiences with officers was useless here. He nodded to his joke comment that got him some backlash from Rivets. Almost like he was deciding he was deciding what to think of him. But to make things even more confusing, the man knew how to clean?! An officer who could take care of himself?! it was mind boggling to Hunter. Even started cleaning things Hunter didn't think of cleaning. So props to the army officer. He did find the man's comment about trying to hard to be a bit... Annoying. He stopped what he was doing once he registered the comment and prepared to reply back. But decided against it. He either wouldn't care, or he wouldn't believe him. Or think it was all deserved. None of those options seemed good to the soldier boy, so he left Ash to do his share of cleaning, Hunter still working at it as best as he could despite his headache, and did little to hide the fact he was surprised about Ash's ability to take care of himself and the situation better then most officers he had met. While cleaning Hunter did take note of a few things. There was a cleaning log that he paid little mind to. Last thing he needed was a grudge against whoever was fucking up on cleaning detail. The next thing, as they cleaned the smell... the smell started to get worse. Sure, his time stuck in a sewer for what he was sure was a week sucked, but by god this was something new. Sure it was old enough to be dry and stuck to the walls, but it was still fresh enough that the smell was something.... horrible. It was manageable. But still. What the actual fuck had gone on in here to warrant this kind of mess?! Hunter could tough through it. Considering his health at it's current state that was a great thing, or maybe his sense of smell was diminished after that time. He wondered if every building's bathroom was as bad at this one's? If so he would need to push for a rather drastic diet change. Because fucking hell this was bad. Toughing through it, getting some cleaning done, time went on. And things went well overall. Hunter debated on small talk with the former captain, being both army, and having some sense of being able to take care of himself and chores, made him wonder what kind of life the man lived. Even considered asking him if he had any interesting stories on how he got this far. But he decided against it. He figured Ash didn't like him all that much, which was fair. He made a poor impression. Or he would answer, and ask in return. Hunter didn't have a lot of pleasant stories to tell about making it this far. Thinking about it, he figured that the same was probably true for most people. So unless prompted otherwise, he would just go on with his work and finish it up so he could keep at his rather busy schedule of a day.
