Jessica Holly Alpha Team Medic
Jess laughed when Evie spoke swapping herself for one of the men who worked with them, just to get a reaction out of the man who sat beside her. It was cute how they interacted, pleasant even, but she was still a little tense having a man so close to her. When he touched her shoulder she forced a little smile and averted her eyes up at E.
"You sound just angelic my sweet."
The young woman reached up and ran a hand though her own brown red messy hair, she twisted it off into a messy bun at the base of her neck and snapped a rubber-band over it to keep it together. With her hair pulled back and out of her face, her skin looked even paler, and not pretty doll pale either, but sickly not enough sun malnutrition pale. She was loosing mussel mass, and the shine in her hair had left weeks ago. This life was clearly not working out for her. But Evie seemed to be thriving down here, She was fit and healthy looking, her dark hair beautiful, her face unblemished. Jess had spend more than one late evening thinking of the pretty girl.

Ian chuckled at Evie. "You might think that, sheila, but to be honest, I think you both look quite good." he said, grinning. "No need to be nervous, by the way. I'm not a root rat, like some of the other dogs down here." he added, as Evie started to walk over. He cleared his stuff off the bed, and leaned his rifle up against the wall, as she lay down next to him.
"Sure." he said, grinning at her, then at Jess. "So, how did a pair of sheilas like yourselves get in a place like this?" he asked casually, genuinely interested in their stories.

Jessica Holly Alpha Team Medic
Jess looked at the man and shook her head. His accent out of place but oddly comforting. She liked knowing that she wasn't the oddest one down here. At least she sounded American, if Midwestern.
"I studied at U of M..... I could be in any underground in the country, I'm that good. But... I had a guy for a while, He's long gone now, Dead. The radiation got to him, but it didn't act like it does in most people, he didn't become a monster... He walked right back home, Unfortunately there was to much in his system to fix, he died after about a week. That was fourteen months ago. He was a Health. We went to school together. but he was brighter than I could ever hope to be. Man.... This kid."
Jessica was talking about her dead boy friend, the only person she had ever really connected with, she wasn't over him, and probably never would be. It showed in her body language and chose of words. Her back was hunched slightly and her arms slack at her sides, she refused to speak his name, and only said good about him.
"We were on vacation out here when it happened. I wanted go go back to Ann Arbor, You know to the university, but he thought it would be smart to stay here, there was already an underground, and he wanted to help..... He was a real guardian angel, It's a shame. A damn shame hes gone."
Jess's eyes watered but she didn't cry, she pulled her left leg up and wrapped her arm around it, resting her chin on her knee. The young woman hated herself for not being able to save him, and she hated him for putting himself out there and dieing because of it.

Ian listened to Jess' story...he hadn't really expected what she was telling him. He was just looking for a basic story, where they were from, what their live was kinda like, how they got here. He patted her arm. "Sounded like a good man." he said, taking his arm away and looking at Evie. She seemed to know Jess more than he did, so she was probably better at comforting her than he was. He made eye contact with her for a moment, then looked back at Jess. "It's not your fault, though." he said, a shot in the dark. Many people who lost loved ones thought that. "Radiation's a fickle b***h, aye? One day, she'll save some little boy's life cause his got cancer, the next, she'll give another little boy incurable cancer. The best you can do is keep doin' what you do, so that others don't have the same fate." he said.
After that, Evie told her story. A lot more cheerful than Jess', though he also had to pat her on the arm for comfort. He cleared his throat a little. "My story, aye?" he said. "Well, before all the world went to Hell, my parents worked on base here. Dad was a sniper, Mum was a medic." he began. "I was lookin' into animation. Well, one day-" he snapped his fingers "-somethin' happened. I dunno what. Mum and Dad were called to action. Dad went to the facility, never came back. Mum, on the other hand, was working to save the wounded...unfortunately, the sheer amount of irradiated patients got to her in the end." he explained. "The whole time, I was in the shelters. Ever since, I've been workin' here, tryin' to find out what went wrong." he finished.
