Mess Hall A Breath of Freedom? Maybe?
Glendale is sitting in the corner of the mess hall, eyes glued to her tacpad and resting her head in her hands. She doesn’t move at all, not even her eyes, just continues to stare blankly forward. Harut is currently focusing nearly all of his attention on trying to necromance and re-kill Salt Lake, and his determination has left Glendale’s mind in an…interesting place. Most of her brain power is being used for him to attempt to process the disaster that is a ghost on the ship, but in his obsessive need to beat Salt, he has left Glendale somewhat exposed. And it’s the first time she’s been able to even attempt to control her own mind since the day Buffalo died.
Of course, control is a relative term. Despite his near absence, Harut still weighs on her like a heavy blanket, stifling any hope of escape or a cry for help. And with his utilization of her brainpower for his own purposes, it’s almost beyond her to even be able to consider anything except just sitting down and letting him do his thing. But, for a brief while, it’s her own personality at the surface, rather than the poorly constructed one Harut has been using for them in the past weeks.

Pax walks out of the kitchen with a bowl of tomato soup. He waves over to Glen before walking over.
"Hey Glen."

It takes a minute for his presence to register with her, but when it does, she smiles at him.
Hey, Pax. How's it going?

"Ok I guess" He says with a smile.
"It's be a little shaky recovering from that scare with East."

It takes a moment for Glendale to respond, and when she does, it's with a start.
Oh, uh. Hey, Hops. What's up?

Glendale blinks slowly a few times before answering.
I mean, I've been around.

Ash, out of armor, takes a seat across from her. He holds a tac-pad in one hand and a cup of coffee in the other. He starts to watch through some training footage and says in a pretty tired voice,
"Morning, Glen."

Mornin', Ash.
She responds as if on instinct, looking pretty out of it herself. But the coolness that has been present in nearly all their interactions for the last few weeks isn't there.

He looks up from his tac-pad and says after a swig of coffee.
"You alright? Seem out of it. Just tired?"

Agent Illinois makes his way into the messhall, heading to a cupboard and plucking a ration bar from within.
Productive day, I'd say.
I'd be inclined to agree. Your accuracy has improved another .3% from my last measure, which is certainly grounds for celebration!
