13.) [video.]

[Neil is hunkered down in an alleyway, tamping explosive putty into threaded plumber's pipe. Scattered behind him are gardening shears, several more lengths of pipe, spools of wire and thread, tin cans, and a few boxes of nails. He is wearing a plain black t-shirt with the sleeves torn off, and his signature wristbands are missing when he wipes sweat from his brow as he works. His husky, Nym, stands at the mouth of the alley keeping watch.]

I've tried to lock this transmission from the enemy, but in the event that in should be intercepted, please. Don't follow my example. And tell... nah. Just, be safe. Get out, if you can.
If I don't make it through, remember me. My whole life has been combat, but remember the little things. Remember-- [He uses his teeth to tear off the end of the fuse he's fashioning.] --something other than this.
I guess that's all I can ask.

[ooc: Pullin' a genre switch from the grab bag! Not actually locked, because there isn't actually an "enemy" here. Open action, if somebody wants to find him in the alley? Neil thinks he's an apocalyptic war hero this weekend. He probably can't be persuaded that he's not actually at war, but you can try if you want to. Also, who knows if he actually knows what he's doing, but he seems to understand what he's up to in theory. Mun may possibly be a shameless Terminator fanatic. Also she may possibly have re-watched the Dollhouse Epitaphs this week. Shhhhh. Also you're getting only this userpic all weekend because it is so Kyle Reese-tastic.]

Why? And yeah, 'course I'm safe. Why wouldn't I be?

Won't have time to go back for more supplies later, so I'm preparing myself best I can now. [He easily misinterprets the confusion as confidence.] 'Course. You're smart, should've known you would be.

[ Err, right. Amy nods very slowly. He's clearly cursed. ] Right. Don' worry about me.

You're one of the sharp ones, Amy Pond. Carry on, soldier.

Yessir. [ And she throws a sloppy British salute, too. She'd be laughing, but he seems to take this so serious. It's a little disconcerting. ] What are you gonna do?

The usual. [He rips one of the boxes of nails open with his teeth. Part of this whole super-serious wartime thing seems to be the using of one's teeth.] Protect the girl. Shut down the drones in their tracks. Save the future.

[He puts on a sage look, and pours the nails into a tin can before he answers.] Name of Lucy. She's... vital.

Don't know her, personally. But good luck.

Thanks, soldier. You too.
