Daniel shifted under the weight of the overcoat before turning away from the scarred landscape. He would stay away from James, he knew when someone wanted to be alone and so kept his distance.

"He came back alright... but the position that we'd taken and fortified was breached. Everything was going to hell. It was around the time that the world's governments started to push back against the undead, and they were doing a preliminary bombing run before sending in troops. To shorten the story, that bombing run drove us out. A lot of our group were killed in the initial push to get out, and my brother was bitten. He decided to stay behind and draw as many of the undead back into the stronghold while I led the survivors to somewhere safer."
Austin was silent for a second then said. "I'm sorry for your loss."Damn... Sounds alot like the higher ups that are trying to 'help' Company GreyFox...
Winter sits down and starts drinking one of her drinks. She gives one to Austin, who drinks it as well.

James snorted bitterly.
"I think the worst part is, I have no idea what really happened to him. With every other member of my family, I saw them die, or put them down myself. But when we went back later and searched the area, there was no sign of him. The stronghold was in ruins, but as if it had been in an earthquake or something, not like it had been bombed out. There were a load of undead killed, shot and slashed with his weapons. But we never found his body, nor any undead that we could identify as him."

At least he had a family. Even if they're gone he knew what it was like to have one. Daniel simply stood idly, awaiting a less sensitive moment to appraoch.
"So in theory he could be alive... And didn't you say that the T-Virus is inside of you as well? Perhaps he too has your immunity... Just a thought, not trying to give false hope."
"Yeah... I've often considered that as well. The doctors researching the T-Virus said that there was an increased chance of two members of the same family sharing that immunity, but then, my sister wasn't immune. And its been 7 years since that night... I don't know."
"I see... Huh. I hope you find solace soon though." Winter remains silent, finishing off her drink.
Daniel winced and rubbed his eyes on the sleeve of the overcoat. Winter was not engaged at all so he walked around to her, giving James a wide birth. He stopped further away than usual. "Fancy telling me what I missed?" He said.
James nodded slowly.
"Thanks. I wouldn't count on it at this stage -and in a different world for that matter- but I guess weirder shit has happened here."
OOC: Ironically, one of the only two characters who could give him information died last night.

Charlotte and Laura finally emerge from their tent, well rested. "Now that Hilde is asleep... Huh, interesting."
"Yeah, I got info from Winter and Austin. Let's go." The two IS pilots walk over to Austin and Winter. They smile at James.
"Weird stuff always happens with this group."

James raised a hand in greeting to Charlotte and Laura.
"Yeah. Speaking of which, what happened to the two new guys? The one who shot Joel, and the idiot with the explosive crossbow? Are they still around?"

"No clue." Winter said to Daniel, getting up. "I think I have some projects I want to do with the Koltanium ore... So talk to you guys later?"
The group of 4 then proceeded to head back to Four's ship. Winter and Austin started playing around with the ore, while Charlotte and Laura simply relaxed against the ship. Taking care of Hilde took alot of time.

"Huh?" Daniel says. "Looks like I narrowly avoided getting killed last night then. Nothing I could have done while here."
