<strong>Location</strong>: ADAMS Headquarters (First Haven, Watcher’s Island). The Pilot's Barracks<br/><strong>Date</strong>: 5 January 2099. Monday<br/><strong>Time</strong>: Afternoon<br/><strong>Who</strong>: Ian Harker<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Ian should have been able to find some sort of satisfaction in watching Luke turn his back first and walk away. But he didn't. Instead Ian found himself quietly swallowing down a sudden hardness that weighed at the base of his throat. He dug the blunt of his fingernails into his palms as his gaze focused on the set of Luke's shoulders. Ian only shifted his attention away from the commander and back onto Julie when he couldn’t see Luke anymore.<br/><br/>"Yeah," Ian replied as he reeled himself back in from distraction. He forced himself to uncurl his fingers. His eyes flicked at the package that Julie showed him and he nodded. There was somewhere she could put it - her new living space. Now that Julie was a pilot she didn’t have to sleep in the bunk rooms that they crammed the trainees in.<br/><br/>“C’mon mija,” he said with a jerk of his head towards a set of double doors that led deeper into the pilot’s barracks. “This right here is the main commons and where most of us hang out when there’s free time. The oldbies have channel rights so don’t change it unless you’re looking to start shit. They’re always watching the news or AU soaps.”<br/><br/>Ian vaguely gestured around the room as he spoke and led Julie towards the doors. They silently slid open as the pair approached and opened the way to another long hallway. “There’s some smaller common rooms too if you like it quieter. And now that you’re a real pilot there’s better spaces you get to use too. Mostly the same as what the trainees get but the stuff is all better. The private gym, the rec center, and we’ve even got a special chapel if you want to talk to a counselor. Or god if you believe in that sort of thing.”<br/><br/>“But the real perk of being a pilot now is having more privacy for sleeping. No more room full of bunk beds for you,” Ian said with a slight smile.
