The mention of work put Eric in a different mood. Yes his body was still screaming at him to do something but he too was tired yet full of energy and from the look of Ryan the story seemed to be the same; though he could not be entirely sure. He gave him a smile and quickly removed the pack from his back a wince crossing his face for a moment as his side protested. He tried to hide it but he was sure it showed. On one knee he took out his pad and a few other things.<br/><br/>“Alright.” He said when he stood and went over to take a seat by Ryan on the bed. “I was able to download much of the data onto this pad before we left but I did bring a few other things to look through as well from the pile of looked at things. I figured we can sift through the other stuff when we are more awake.”<br/><br/>Holding out the pad he put one hand on the bottom while the other pressed five fingers on the screen. A quick movement upward and the image he’d been looking at rose and stared at them as a hologram. He usually preferred to look at it the original way but he thought he might have missed something and wondered if Ryan might spot it. Since he could not hold it up forever he set it on the floor at their feet the image getting bigger so it would be able to be seen while standing.<br/><br/>“There were a few items on this document that seemed strange.” He said pointing to a particular line. “This says a barge dropped off some excess parts at the garbage dump but when I looked at the dumps records there was nothing there. There are some other documents that are the same thing but all using different items that seem completely useless to anyone.”<br/><br/>The proximity between them was pretty close but it was enough to be able to manage his emotions. If Ryan got closer he was pretty sure he would do something stupid but then again maybe he had more self-control than he thought. A part of him was hoping he wouldn’t have to find out.
