Fred and Veta are finally assigned their first undercover mission, but their home base leaves a lot to be desired.

Fred reflects on the cost of civilian lives with Lopis. Takes place during Halo: Retribution, and really mild on relationship stuff.

Mildly AU. Lasky and Palmer both have their duties aboard the Infinity, and both of them are left with little time to relax or lay to rest the ghosts they carry with them. When they realize that they share similar burdens, they find themselves gravitating towards something greater than friendship. Rated M.
