Leader of the Rotten

The deed was grim but the deed is done.

The necessary supplies have been procured and wait in labelled tupperware inside a mini-fridge located in Mitchell's lab. Mitchell, incidentally, is the only one who knows what the tupperware contain or their existence at all. The explanation had been brief to avoid confrontation or flared emotions, but the lab tech seemed understanding. Or at least indifferent. Science necessitates unpleasant realities sometimes and "unpleasant reality" is basically the definition of the world and bodies they now inhabit. Jesse didn't have to defend himself either way.

Harrowheart gets a text late one night. It's brief.

hey
i got it.
come over. julie will be ready when u get here.

Harrowheart should get a text bright and early this morning, from Jesse's own cell! It's neat getting to text again, now that they've got steady power to charge them up.

hey pardner. yall wanna come on down 2 the homestead today? meet some of the gang? we can talk some about yall doin some repairs on some bodies what need it? haha. haven't told no one about that yet. don't wanna get hopes up. anyway head on towards the subway if u wanna get the tour. meet u there!

Whenever Harrow wants to roll around to the graffiti-covered and chained-up subway station that acts as Jesse's door to the Nexus, there's the man himself, as promised. All bundled up against the cold, though, aggressively so. Guess it's not agreeing super well with him, given how the cowboy has his hat pulled low, a scarf wrapped around his lower face, a buttoned up winter coat and mittens. Once Harrow's in sight, Jesse gives him a wave.
