Too stubborn to go home after being washed up like driftwood

If anyone you know is still missing from the cruise, please let us know at the station.

[Private - New Moore Police Department]
Still no sign of the chief? There's a lot of really scared and unhappy people. I'm not going home until we're sure everyone from the cruise has turned up or... been accounted for.

[Private - Nathan]
Hey. I think we should celebrate our not being at the bottom of the ocean. Would you like to come to the shooting range with me tomorrow?

You and guns? Not to be too forward love, but I don't think I've ever wanted anything more! Go easy on me, yeah? I've only ever shot a water gun, though it was right menacing.

It's a right fantastic way to unwind. I'm sure you'll be brilliant! The only real difference is the noise, and we have headphones for that.

This a new phone?

Yeah, I lost the old one before we even got off the ship. That's what I get for being properly hammered for most of the cruise!

Oi, I've got a question for you when you aren't busy with fancy police shit.

I had to get one too. lost mine some point after the whirlpool.

Not too busy, really. Not for you anyway.

What is it, Nathan?

If I fancy you, right, and you fancy me, and we're, you know, whatever the we are, then what do I do to get on your dad and the ginger and Jack's good side? Or less than terrible side anyway, I've never pretended to be the good side kind of guy! P.S. Robocop if you're reading this, fuck right off.

They're still giving you a hard time? You would think they would have stepped off by now.

Might require a bit of sweet talking to convince them. It's not like you've ever done anything that should make them so over protective, and they should know I'm perfectly capable of handling myself. We'll figure something out.

Doesn't matter to me what they think of you, I still fancy you, either way.

Parents are mental. One time I looked at a girl wrong and her dad murdered me! Then Simon started seeing her and he tried to off him. Right nutter, I'll tell you, so this is small potatoes.

Well, I can at least say I am certain my dad would never kill you.

Dunno about the ginger bint, she's feisty. Doesn't matter though.

Good to have you back on dry land.

I've got news about the Chief. Well. I've got news about the old Chief, and news about the new Chief. None of it's good. I'll debrief you before the news goes live, today or tomorrow...

After you've finished up with the cruise business, what would you say to taking a couple days off?

New Chief? Did something happen to our old one? I liked him. He was nice.

I... well, if you don't think you are going to need me. I would rather be helping, but I think I'll be avoiding anything water-based for a while.

I shouldn't say anything before the official announcement goes out. Which will be soon.

In the meantime... you could probably use some rest, for one thing. For another... have you ever heard of "blue flu?"

Alright.

Blue flu? No, I don't think so. What is it?

It's something police officers do when they don't like what their bosses are doing. I'll tell you more if you dislike the upcoming bulletin as much as I do.

I see... Alright. I'll keep my eyes open.

Hey, Shepard. if you get some free time next week we should do something non-work related together. It's been a while since we have.

I'd like that.
