Why? Is he so self conscious that he can’t have a gay friend or acquaintance treated the same as others? That plays into the stereotypes of you can’t socialize with “them “ as you might catch the illness…of which is really nothing other than the assumption that by socializing with them it makes you one; though you may be and remain firmly in the virgin category. Somehow, I don’t see Davin as one to worry so much about assumptions. Perhaps he has his own history of hurt that touches him more than being thought gay because it shared an innocent bed.

How terribly ironic that a ruthless international terrorist/killer feels he is justified to the extent that mass killings and playing with dirty nuclear devices is justified. Yet the very circles of these “honorable” terrorist are all working their own angles to manipulate power and people to their own advantage; none trustworthy. Regardless of political leanings the election interference by international terrorism is nothing but a demented fool’s errand that people will and share respond as they so mandate…huh? Enrico has severe mental health issues, so obsessed in his vengeance that wilts an otherwise brilliant mind, that could achieve so much good, that it makes the him much worst than any claimed villain he hopes to out smart. What a waste of his intelligence.

Stay calm, and no unnecessary exertions guys 😚 , we are now in low oxygen protocols. A very good point there @drpaladin, since it’s hours vs days I would think it’s well within the critical timeline, but moving manpower and locking down compartments complicates the issue. God forbid issues with a breach involving air contamination… Perhaps again, protocols or Andrews inputs may have security prepared for these issues.

Don’t forget they’re preparing to do some docking, receiving a DSV, to recover seaman that may otherwise be lost before fulfilling their destiny. Definitely sounds like a hot and bothered night at a local Club Eros, cuming to a gayborhood near you; an asset to the community, uniting people to live and love their neighbors.

Ahhh, Andrew should be regaining his full faculties as we proceed. He knows the dangers hidden within the Northern Aegis corporation so as the operation moves towards docking there may be enough expectation and preparation to receive this wonderful rescue team; perhaps they’ll still be allowed to place those charges and set the timers as appropriately commanded by the Intelligence Officer requires. After all, this asset still holds too many valuable secrets to allow it to languish for other countries to possibly recover and gleam military secrets far beyond just the Acheron itself. The true shame of it all is that the mercenaries would be able to return topside versus leaving them suffer the fate of their planned sabotage; perhaps they’ll be allowed interrogation should be done before allowing them to joint the returning crewmen to topside. 🤔 Now that’s some real pressure to face when truthful answers will be your passage topside. 😆 Got to love turnabout on treasonous mercenaries, especially for profiteering on the deaths of young patriots.

And heated to accelerate patient recovery…it is the med bay. 😆

Enquiring minds want to know, is he gay, bi, curious; guess I’ll have to listen and hope?

Don’t talk with your mouth full…give it time to come to you.

Such compassion for the commuter minds and souls. ❤️ Having seen it and the commuters of Tokyo, it seems a human experience of mind numbing torture for a daily event.

Understand Min is straight, but he is very animated, very much alert, and observant, then he speaks intelligently on those observations and their meanings to Troy. So a gay version of Min would be what Troy is looking for. That’s not to say that Theo can’t be reached behind his isolationist shell, but based on what we’ve learned so far he his not Troy’s type; he’s too quiet and non interactive…thus far.

But Caleb is not claiming that the person is anything but an alibi, not a possible suspect. So justifying DNA tests and fingerprints for a person that has no witness even putting them there on that night is unlikely. Now if Caleb or anyone else said a person known to frequent that barn, came from the barn with an axe that night or had reason/motive then a suspect they could be. Preserving those items may be worthwhile though, as other witnesses or Caleb may yet come forward.

Hmmm 🤔, one that breaks Troy’s heart by not be open or saying boyfriend, yet this one says nothing, is a recluse and then even ignoring Troy. Yet Troy thinks he’s his type? I’m thinking the reset hasn’t taken hold in Troy’s mind yet. Find one like Min but that is into you.

Hmmm 🤔, figuring things out…with a quick trip of guilt pleasure, in the closet. As a 14yo, that closet needs clothes laundered again, as there’s no telling where all the closet monster snotted up those clothes. But that scene is classic of the guilt and yet he feels compelled to stay with Noah. As mentioned in an earlier comment, Nick ignored a message from Noah. However, remember that Nick didn’t even get a message from Noah on Thanksgiving; it was later and with less than a fully believable 14yo too busy to say hello to his boyfriend. So while it seems Nicky is cheating with Jack, I believe Noah is probably truly cheating on Nicky whenever he isn’t with Nicky himself. It just all adds up that Noah is not romantically mature, and is superficial in lust.

Forever young…and confused 😕

Maybe a quick drop by the laundry mat to use the toilet and wash the shorts? 😆 Hmmm, a path to the neighbor’s back yard, a path to the window of the barn; strange that the neighboring path was noticed until having the vantage point of the barn. Could the friend Caleb is protecting be the friendly neighbor? Could that neighbor have reached a boiling point with Caleb taken away after yet another beating? Lots of reasons for a person to hate Ira, but even more so when protecting Caleb after the fact…knowing that the cycle would continue. The hay loft was quite revealing, but maybe not the shenanigans of teenagers from across the fields to the back 40 would share in trans-hormonal years. It’s also hard to image quiet Caleb off buying condoms, though he could possibly steal them from the turd, assuming he ever used any. As usual, more threads to pull on, but perhaps nothing but red herrings on the other end.

Yay, Andrew in snatched back from the flame to the frying pan. A big reprieve for yet another rescue yet to be sourced. Now if the Russians can guide a DSV or deploy capability they have yet to disclose were golden, but the triller aspect says…not so fast. Meanwhile, the white nondescript van is proceeding without any obstructions to path this far. What is the most likely dirty bomb target; people or government? Or shall it be business economy?

Just keep the boobs away from the nuclear reactor…we know they’re a significant fire hazard.

The author, and chief engineer through this event, has a keen understanding of suspending the laws of thermodynamics at 300 meters in the North Sea; there is a volcanic water chimney in that exact area that is capable of keeping the Acheron and surrounding waters at approximately 16C/59F. That should give them the additional time needed to rescue Andrew and battle his hypothermia. 🤡

Ahhh, but it’s not the Russians officially, rather Captain Vasily Volkov replied, his tone polite, professional. "This is K-171 Dmitry Donskoy.” So if this goes south, then Captain Vasily Vilkov will either be publicly shot as a traitor or sent to Siberia. If however, it puts the Russians in a favorable position, either diplomatically, militarily, or just world opinion, then Capt Vilkov will be publicly awarded, paraded, and interviewed on TV…then secretly sent of to enjoy his remaining years in SIBERIA.

Hey, but soon it will be a levitating , self-driven bar of soap; that will require precise location, facial ID, 15 pages of lawyer agreements and user consent forms on the screen, etc., all for the joy of the hundreds of thousands you’ll be spending for something that THEY WILL DECIDE WHEN IT WILL NO LONGER BE SUPPORTED OR APPROVED FOR USE. So don’t let that 1939 out of your possession…it deserves its own trust! 😆 Classics may soon become hotter than ever expected; they may require modifications to be registered as home built or the opposite in other locations as the corporate push will be very legal trick to force them from any legal use on roadways. Brewing…ahem, making your own ethanol to run them will be under attack as well. Moonshine will be a hot commodity as a top fuel. 😝

Teenagers? They’re totally rational when you’re trying to protect them from making risky ventures into places or with people suspect in motives or trustworthiness; YOU'RE RUINING MY LIFE…I HATE YOU!

Anita Mann and Amanda Love are two classics, especially when meeting them in a club/ lounge; yup, usually smokers too! 🤣

No, not intentionally, but he already has hurt him whether accepted or not. The relationship is based on lies and subterfuge. Though Ezra gave is heart and body, to was to the ruse. Enrico is not the person Ezra feel for nor can he become that…as he will always be on the run or living behind a mask of yet another persona, ready to run when necessary. Though Ezra is unhappy with his life with mother, it doesn’t mean he meant to hurt her, her career, or to turn his back on her; even now, trapped in this moment of extreme danger he wants to call his mother. Ezra can’t live the life Enrico presented, yet the life offered is asking him to go unrecognized, to not draw attention, to not be out in the open. These are the very things that have Erza feeling like a nobody already. So intentionally hurting Erza, no. But Enrico has already done more damage than he could possibly know. Ezra finally found someone, fell quickly and deeply in love, to now be finding out it is not a real person… a ruse. Though Enrico did fall for Ezra, he knows it’s not a relationship Ezra will understand or that he could ask him to try; it would likely get them both killed and would not be the life Ezra wants nor where he can survive. Therefore, the unintended consequences of this ruse life, will hurt Ezra deeply, more deeply than a broken off relationships. This relationship so desperately needed and wanted, as Erza didn’t believe he would ever be noticed or loved that way, has now turned to betrayal of his trust, betrayal of his love, as he gave that love to a person that wasn’t who he said, and will now probably have Ezra withdrawn and untrusting of his own self. So unintentional but real, Enrico has already given Ezra a crushing first love loss, while hurting his mom, possibly her career, and worst of all, whiplash at the loss of someone he couldn’t ever have…beyond the ruse.

A nice short chapter that says much about the fate of Ezra and that looming fate of the submarine crew with Andrew Carter. Oh but what a beautiful takedown by Jared of that arrogant prick known as Lachlan Sinclair. Hopefully that’s a foreshadowing of Sinclair’s future. Jared knows he’s fired…but he obviously knows Sinclair secrets and where many financial skeletons lay. Hopefully he is also speaking to Will soon and the MI5 picture will come together likewise. Erza, it’s been a ruse. Look for your escape plan quickly, don’t be a fool.
