It was supposed to be for vacations at first, but I've never had the time to make use of it. It's got a decent climate, a lot like Oregon, and not too... many dangerous animals to bother me. There's a oneroom cabin, with its own power and water, and everything I need to keep on experimenting with my portals. If we can hold the government off for a just few more days, I'll finish stocking it with supplies. When they do swoop down, all they'll find here is an empty lab and no incriminating records.". Mrs C had made a few fuck buddies over the last year at work jack and more recently Sam. As we are getting ready Mrs C tells both Sam Jack will be going to the party.

They were all down in the hold with the animals until it was safe for them to come.
