Breencast starting...

All Civilians should head the protocols laid out by the CP and report all Resistance sightings. Do not approach anyone matching the description of Anticitizen Number One. Obey the curfew. We're here to keep you safe. Trust in our Benefactors. Or else. (A Combine!Barney au ask blog, based off of @pllyhedron's artwork!) See something, civilian? Read from the Beginning!

Don't worry Ash you'll find! Do you know where to start looking?

"No... I have my suspicions of where a rebel base may be, but I'm going to scour cameras first. Maybe I'll find him through those."

[combine-calhoun]

Maybe it'll be better if you don't find him? He might be safer away from the Combine, he left with those resistance folk right? They'll probs take care of him

Ash nervously wrings her hands

"Well, I'm not sure exactly where he is or what he did after he went quiet on the radio. All I know is that he isn't here. If they find him with the resistance they'll slaughter everyone there and I'm not sure if they'll kill him too or not."

"We're told to kill traitors on sight. Maybe I can talk with Breen and send out some special orders to bring him back alive."

[combine-calhoun]

I hope you have a plan, Cal's fate (and possibly blood if you mess this up) is in your hands!

“I don’t have a plan I’m just hoping I can even find him at all.”

[combine-calhoun]

aSH THEY TRAUMATIZED HIM THERE

“Oh fuCK I HAD NO IDEA WE NEED TO SAVE CAL!” @violetdraws32

[combine-calhoun]

Ash how could you? Don't you know what they'll do to him?! What if they send him to Nova Prospekt!?! You are not a good bro, not cool ya traitor >:(

"...What will they do to him at Nova Prospekt? Are they going to fix his issue?"

[combine-calhoun]

well howdy mysterious person

Heyy~

[combine-calhoun]

[Elsewhere in the citadel an unknown person makes their report to the benefactors]

“Officer Calhoun has been acting strange. No one knows why. It seems as there is an anomaly in his installments as he is acting as if he were someone else. He called himself ‘Link’ and failed the mission for everyone. There is something needing to be done about this.”

[Anonymous person is open for questions]

[combine-calhoun]

I plan to pick things back up on Wednesday

Shoot me some asks until then
