I believe it thinks it paid its debt as well. Thank you for those kind words, but it'll still be hard to chew on when innocents get hurt. Poor Pascal.

Survival guilt must suck! But you can’t change what happened, you’ve got to look forward and not dwell in the past. And maybe now and then look up former colleagues at/known associates to the RSS and see if they seem to die in an unnatural high rate?

Edit: Maybe also make sure Pascal stays in his grave…

Perhaps I should hit him with the shovel a few times before we bury him? Or perhaps the locals will want to burn his body and send it out to sea?

I might do some digging but for the most part, I’m going to stay on this little beach and live my life and let the rest of you guys worry about the fate of the world from now on. I’ve done my part.

Hm, maybe cremation is the best way to be sure both Pascal and whatever he might cary inside truly is gone. It’s also a more dignified procedure than just hitting him with the shovel… and with that I wish you best of luck and a long worry free life with your toes deeply buried in sand! You’ve sure done your part.

I suppose you’re right, hitting a dead person over the head seems unceremonious. Though if anyone questions, perhaps I could just say this is what we do back home.

Thanks again, cheers and good luck. I hope you never find a puddle in your room.

Smart, you can also claim it’s a religious thing. I promise you that I will never trust a puddle again!

I wonder what's hiding in the arctic?

So are you saying someone put them in charge of guarding the secrets in the ice?

First line of defense. Isn’t that common knowledge?
