That was.... draining, for lack of a better word.
Nic and I went to Daeva Corp, and were met with Warren’s “welcoming committee”. Coralee was there, of course. She seemed almost smug, in a way.
Unfortunately they found Nic’s wire before we even got inside the building. I had hoped that because I was warned against it that they would overlook him.
I was so thankful to see Richard again. He seemed... Tired. They had him in a thin shirt and what looked like swim trunks; but he was alive and, for the most part, unhurt. He said that the scientists were “taking care of him”. He couldn’t discuss details - not with Coralee standing watch over our shoulders. I’ll be honest... I didn’t care. Richard was alive, and he was, not okay, but alive.
We stayed as long as we could, but eventually Coralee ended our “visit” and escorted us out.
I think I’m going to stay up tonight with the pets.
