It had been a really nice weekend having Tabby and Teddy visit and getting to spend time with them and it had been hard saying goodbye to them. After they had left he and Connor had to finish getting things ready for their move back to London for the summer since no sooner had they got back to the apartment after saying goodbye, the emails and phone calls had started so they already had a lot of work for them when they got back to London.

Everything that they needed was packed up and ready to go, Rex was chirping away in his carrier. Cutter looked around the apartment, “I can’t believe how quickly the time has gone by,” he said softly as he thought back to everything that had happened last summer.

[for Connor and this will be their last post in Fandom until the fall!]

When Cutter woke up Saturday morning, he realised that he wasn’t at his usual home but he didn’t think anything of it and instead got up to explore this new place that he had ended up in. Eventually he decided he wanted breakfast but then realised that he wasn’t tall enough to reach the cabinets, that was when he spotted something much more exciting than breakfast.

“Oh wow a dinosaur!” he exclaimed as he spotted Rex who was happily chirping and eating from his food bowl, all thoughts of breakfast momentarily forgotten.

[for one and up early for SP!]

It had been a long couple of weeks since Connor had unexpectedly had to head back home to help Phillip and his team but now Cutter had received word that Connor was able to come back today and he couldn't help but pace nervously as he waited for Connor, his portal would be due any moment.

Rex was chirping expectantly as he waited by the door for Connor.

"I know Rex, it won't be too much longer, Connor will be back very soon," Cutter promised.

[for the fiance]

It had been several days later since they had been rescued, they had all been debriefed and now Cutter and Connor had moved back into their house to adjust before they made the move back to Fandom. It was early morning and they were finishing up breakfast, Cutter had made sure there were no berries in sight. "It still feels weird to be back here," he admitted as he took a long leisurely sip of coffee. ( they still couldn't believe they were back ) [preplayed with the amazing anomaly_reseearch_nerd.

The last few months had been pure and utter chaos. Between Christine's death and what had happened at her black site and Helen disappearing with Cutter and Connor and Becker and Danny following, it had taken every last favour that Lester owed to keep the ARC up and running so that they could try and find them. Unfortunately that had meant going into partnership with Phillip Burton, a billionaire who had more than enough funds to keep the ARC going but at the moment if Lester could get Cutter, Connor, Becker and Danny back alive he would take it. Right now the ARC was under going a full security upgrade in the wake of the attack by Helen and Christine and new people were being hired since one of the new rules that Lester was insisting on was that field operatives had to have military or policing background and that ruled out most of his previous team with Becker and Danny still being trapped wherever they were. He was meeting with one of the new hires today, a Matt Anderson who had been working closely with Phillip and Phillip's team trying to open an anomaly and see if they could find their missing men. ( they couldn't give up hope of finding their team ) [preplayed with the amazing anomaly_research_nerd. NFB for distance but OOC welcome!]

Cutter was unaware of how much time had passed since they arrived to the anomaly site, the days had all blurred and the only thing that had eventually gotten him settled was getting in a routine of sorts. They had set up camp near the anomaly site in the slim chance that it would reopen but so far nothing. The other part that made this hard was still facing Stephen, Stephen had volunteered to stay with them until the anomaly reopened and he could help with hunting but other than a few words he hadn’t really spoken to Stephen since he had given Stephen the leftover rabbit but he knew they would have to talk, especially since Stephen didn’t know about Helen and Cutter had no idea how to even broach that subject. They had just finished breakfast for that morning and Danny had gone on patrol and to do some foraging, Cutter kept looking over where Stephen was. He knew Stephen deserved the truth about Helen but he still felt uneasy being around Stephen. ( it was time to have a long overdue talk ) [preplayed with the amazing anomaly_research_nerd.

It was a few days later and it seemed like the rain had finally stopped, it hadn't rained for a few hours now and Cutter was hoping this was the break in the weather they needed, "do you think we could try and head towards the anomaly site now?" he asked hopefully as he looked at Becker and Danny. ( some decisions needed to be made ) [preplayed with the amazing anomaly_research_nerd. NFB for distance but OOC welcome!]

Cutter wasn't sure how long he had been asleep for but when he woke up sunlight was beaming into the cave, he didn't feel as shocked or cold as he had yesterday and he knew he still wasn't done grieving but he knew this was something that he had to push through, he had to keep busy and productive as they worked on their next move. He wasn't ready to move just yet so he took a few moments to sit there, Connor was still asleep next to him and he didn't want to get up and leave in case Connor woke up. ( It was the last thing they had expected to happen ) [preplayed with the amazing anomaly_research_nerd. NFB for distance but OOC welcome!]

It had been a week since they had figured out that the artifact was as anomaly map and they had been instructed to find out what they could before they had to destroy it. It had been a lot of work and Cutter wasn't even sure they had scratched the surface of the secrets of the artifact but the deadline was approaching and they had to present their findings to Lester. "I still feel like there's something we're missing," he remarked softly to Connor as he stared at the artifact, "and we still haven't found a link to site 333 yet," ( It had all come down to this ) [adapted in parts from series 3 episode 9 'Herd Logic' and episode 10 'The Chase Continues'.
