Jordan gave Rep a tired look. "I'm worried about you trying to do all this yourself when you're already low on sleep and on a hair trigger." He pulled a box covered with unknown substances out of the pile and tried not to think too hard about what the substances might be. "Your stuff's important to you. I know that. I'm not trying to be sneaky."
He wasn't going to admit that he was relieved to hear the reassurance.

"I will rest a lot easier when it is all safely stowed away." he said, not about to argue with Jordan's summary of his present physical state. "And I know you aren't, I just think it's not wise saying where I'm going to put it, the walls have ears in this place. I don't think you'd hurt it."
And somewhere in the heap there'd be a crate inside a crate inside a crate, he hoped. "But it's going to be a lot of work, there's a lot of s**t in here. A lot. I don't know if a day will be enough."

"We're just going to have to try, I guess." Jordan eyed the mess around them and tried not to let his opinion show too obviously on his face. What he really wanted was a meal, a shower, and plenty of sleep, but that was not in the cards anytime soon, so he was just going to stop thinking about that right now.

Harrison looked up at the ruckus with tired suspicion, and put his hand on B0nez's hilt.
He wasn't in any shape for in-fighting. The bugs had taken a lot out of him.
He was grimly relieved when it dispersed.
Harrison scanned the dead bugs and half-familiar items as Rep sorted through them with almost tender despair. He had the same mind as Jordan, but he wasn't as shy about getting it.
"I know where it's going," Harrison said. "I've got to go carve out some room. Gonna get a shower first, though. Maybe something to eat. I won't take too long."
He knew straight where he was headed, too: the public showers. He wasn't going to drag his slimy a** into their bathroom, that was for sure. It'd probably get the plumbing all stopped up. He unhooked B0nez, and placed the flat of the blade on his wrist. Hopefully the charge was still good.

The fear buzzed over Harrison as B0nez did a system check, repairing things and looking over the damage.
B0nez's usual chatter dried up to a really ******** weird silence.
Eh, think, eh, I should, erm. Talk to Rep, sometime, you know, soon as you can get me plugged in, just me and him, know you're busy...
Harrison mentally narrowed his eyes, but was too tired to do anything but acceed.
Okay. Whatever. Am I good?
We're......okay......sort of, got a lot of um, yeah. It's.............shields are...at halfish........ more silence.

"Aye a damn good try." he said, eyeing the enormous pile of stuff. It would take careful handling, sorting and patient moving to transfer everything he had to a sufficiently safe place. The idea of rushing it upset him deeply. He didn't bother saying to Jordan that he was going to be at it as long as it took in case it made the other sun also felt obligated to do so.
When Harrison spoke up, Rep glanced over, for a moment paranoid that even that much information might give the game away.
reasonable.> Tracey hissed, still locked in a deep and terrible sort of fury. Rep had felt the fallen angel's rage when the charge was seized straight out of his eager talons. He'd been angry before that Marie could siphon charges away before they reached him, the thought that she could take them even after that point put him too on the brink of a tantrum. What little patience he normally had for Rep's paranoia was completely non-existent.
He looked down at himself, covered from head to toe in slime and sweat. He hadn't slept at all since the night before, nor had he eaten and ******** he was getting hungry. This was going to be a ******** mountain of a task, one he didn't fancy going into with only a fraction of his strength. He wouldn't go into a mission unprepared and he wouldn't do this either. "Good point." he said, setting aside a box he was carrying.
He eyed the hoard thoughtfully, scanned it for a second or two and then leapt right into the middle of it, indifferent to the remnants of bug nest strewn and woven throughout it. He hauled out a bunch of tattered looking cardboard boxes before finally finding an old tarnished metal teapot, opening it and producing several heavy duty looking padlocks.
"We can leave this stuff here temporarily, go get our s**t sorted and come back." he coughed, shaking off dust from his hair. "And maybe get new boxes from somewhere for some of this s**t too."

Jordan wasn't about to argue with the idea. Losing fifteen minutes or half an hour from the job to get the bug guts out of his hair and get something to eat was an acceptable trade-off. He could deal with this better if he wasn't filthy and hungry. "Okay," he said, and set the box down in an open spot. "I can talk the quartermaster out of a stack of moving boxes after I shower."
Ferros rumbled a soft and puzzled note, inquiring whether the food was going to cause problems when they came back down and encountered the smell again. They'd be all right, Jordan answered. Being hungry would screw with his focus more.

Rep was up to something, and usually a comment on twitter that was phrased that way would make him pause. However, both due to the fact that Rep in real life wouldn't be quick to harm him, and because he always had a gun on him, he felt safe enough with going down to the basement to see what was going on that would occupy Rep's time. He only hoped he wasn't fighting sewer moles or some ridiculous animal.
Turning off his tablet, he got up and turned over to look at Rin. "I'm going to help Rep out with something. I'll text if I'll be late for dinner." He informed her, and grabbed his jacket from the hook.
Slipping it on, he took his keys and leaned in to kiss her cheek. "I'll be at the basement if you want to get dressed and meet us." To which he turned and headed down.
