[He got the news after the debriefings wrapped up, and Mandatory Tala Time. This is why you're all getting the message late.]

SENT: 8:32 PM
You all have my deepest sympathies, War Hounds. I can relate: I've also been placed on leave, although it is not nearly as strict as yours - Operation HECATON may need me.

Let's hope that we find something to do with ourselves during this month.

[Nods.]

The magic was strong in me at an incredibly young age. The Methuselah was different back then, so there were... concerns.

[atlas_shrugged]

Well, the magic in you still seems very strong right now, sir. [ A chuckle and a swig. Somber though ] Some people wanted to kill you, sir?

[tagabigay]

No, but they were prepared to if things did not go as well as they ought to have.

[And honestly? He gets why. Pragmatic and all.]

[atlas_shrugged]

And Amado kept the sharks at bay, sir?

[ Power. People always want to control or destroy things with power. Brig kind of knows. Hawke kept the sharks away from him when he was younger ]

[tagabigay]

He did. He felt that a boy, Awakened or not, simply needed guidance. He believed in me.

[And Elias wasn't ever going to forget that.]

[atlas_shrugged]

[ Why couldn't all men be like this man the Chief was telling him about.

He holds his brownbag up for a toast. ] To Amado, sir. I truly wish I could've met him.

[Smiling at that, and toasting.]

His children take after him. You'll probably run into them in the future.
