'Cause she's a cruel mistress
And a bargain must be made
And a bargain must be made
Liam had never been to Halo, and so the full extent of the destruction escaped him. But even he could tell that things had gone horribly, horribly wrong.
Stormbreak was safe - for now - and though he was loathe to leave so soon after returning, he knew that he would be of more use elsewhere. He remembered what things had been like in the aftermath of the Ascended attack, and if things were like that elsewhere... well, maybe there was something he'd learned that could help. So here he was, in a region he'd never been to, offering his services to try to make the world a little bit better. And it seemed they'd need all the help they could get.
He'd been put to work on a search and rescue team, checking areas of destruction for any survivors and transporting them to receive aid. The hardest part was when they found the bodies. He'd never get over seeing dead civilians.
Just now, he stood apart from the ragtag group of helpers he'd joined, taking a sip of water from the flask he'd brought along with him. They'd been at work for a few hours, and it would do no one any good if they collapsed from dehydration. He rolled his neck, gazing around at the destruction, and paused at the sight of a familiar face. He lifted a tired hand to wave at the other man. "Noah."

But oh, my love, don't forget me
When I let the water take me
When I let the water take me
Liam
