Rough Night in Jericho: 2
Wednesday, September 13th, 2006Room 321, Armstrong Residence Block “Why didn’t you tell me?” Misha’s anger threatened to boil over as he clawed through the operational gear he kept secreted beneath his closet.

Gusev: Forty-Nine
Monday, September 4th, 2006Audrey Wells’ Residence, Spinal Docking Bay 2 “Alright,” Audrey said, looking Misha up and down once. “You look like you’re ready to go outside already. Hop up into the cockpit and I’ll pop the canopy after I’ve gotten rid of our tail.” “Thanks,” he said, retreating toward the hulking armor crouched in the center of [...]
Gusev: Forty-Eight
