Guess what? Precisely one year ago today (15 May 2014) I started writing ALYNA over on Archive of Our Own! Which means that clearly I had to get out something today after months of not updating... (-_-;)

The next chapter will be longer but this one was either going to be the short and snappy thing you see here or a lumbering and unwieldy thing that would've been 2k+ to hit all the same things.

Oh and someone wrote a song inspired by ALYNA! Did I cry? Absolutely! dauntlesranger-dot-tumblr-dot-com / post / 114717793096 / only-human (hey FFN how about you enable hyperlinks sometime this decade? Or at least stop eating parts of urls)

Second floor decoy lab rigged with explosives. Animal testing lab found in basement with canine remains. In light of what was found in the basement lab I have no reason to distrust further information gathered by informant D.
