Professor Nick Cutter

It was the next morning, Cutter hadn't slept very well the previous night, he had been so nervous about going to the anomaly site and whether or not that it was there that he had ended up waking early and not being able to go back to sleep. He looked around the camp where he and Connor had found a spot to sleep for the night, Connor was still asleep and he didn't want to wake him so he was trying to sit as still as possible until it was early enough for everyone else to wake.

Becker took a deep breath as he carried his supplies back into the cave, leaving Connor, Nick and Danny outside. As much as he didn't want to do this, this was Connor and Nick's decision and the sooner they helped Stephen, the sooner they could continue on their way to finding a new anomaly. "Stephen?" Becker said as he approached the blankets where Stephen was laying, "my name is Captain Becker, I'm here to help you," ( they didn't think they would have to deal with this ) [preplayed with the amazing anomaly_research_nerd.

Cutter didn’t know how long they had left with Stephen and the two Tom’s but he knew that at the least he, Connor and Stephen needed to talk. Even though they hadn’t expressly told Stephen that they used to date, he knew it was the least that they could do for Stephen and talk to him about why his initial visit had caused a great deal of concern.

He wasn’t entirely sure how this conversation was going to go and Cutter was rather nervous but it had to be done, so he paced rather nervously as he waited for Connor and Stephen to arrive.

[for Connor and Stephen]

Cutter didn’t know how much time had passed since they had gotten out of the room with Leek and the future predators … he was never going to get that screaming out of his head, he had never liked the man but being ripped apart like that … no one deserved that. It was all he could do to keep holding on to Stephen as they made their way through what felt like the endless maze of the warehouse. “Are we nearly there?” he panted, trying to see if he could see a possible sign of an exit … the hallway they were in, didn’t look very promising. He was in agony, he just wanted to stop and sleep but he knew they couldn’t, they had to keep going. ( a difficult decision has to be made ) [part ten. CW for NPC character death.

A few hours later and they had finally made it back to the ARC, Cutter reeling from thinking that the traitor had been Jenny to finding out that it was Leek and they had gotten back as quickly as they could, only to find Lester had been attacked by the future predator that was being controlled by Leek. Lester had managed to get away by releasing the Mammoth and after his earlier griping about it, actually seemed rather fond of the Mammoth now and had even volunteered to take it home for his children so they could have a pet. Jenny was still furious with Cutter, which he deserved that, he knew that he couldn’t blame her for that but after talking to her for a little bit, she had seemed to calm down a bit. Meanwhile both Connor’s had got to work on the ADD, trying to access Leek’s file and had come up with a location, only in the process it had set off a bomb timer and Cutter and Connor had worked to disarm it. And now after all that Lester had refused to let Cutter’s team come along, officially handing the operation over to the military, when Cutter had tried to protest Lester had pointed out that he was a civilian and an injured civilian on top of that, the paperwork alone would have been nightmare to finish. Cutter reluctantly found himself left behind and very, very bored. ( it was all going to go downhill from here ) [part seven and continuing with our meshing of canon and fandom as we tear canon apart and put it back together. Slightly adapted from series 2 episode 6 'traitor revealed'. It's going to be a very rough time for Connor and Cutter from here on out. CW for violence.

Cutter was not aware of how much time had passed between getting off the motorway and heading back to the ARC since both him and Connor had ended up falling asleep on the trip back. As soon as they had arrived, he and Connor had received a summons to Lester’s office and he wondered why and then realised with a sinking feeling that Lester probably already knew what had happened. He didn’t have the energy for this, he just wanted to go home with Connor and not do anything ..he was emotionally and physically exhausted and he imagined that Connor felt the same but he also wasn’t in the mood to deal with an angry Lester, so reluctantly he and Connor headed to his office and Stephen was already there. Cutter trembled, if he wasn’t so exhausted he would have already taken a swing at him. “What are you doing here?” he spat instead. ( Lester was not impressed ) [part 4, some fallout and our own blending of canon with Fandom. Preplayed with the amazing anaomaly_research_nerd. NFB but OOC welcome!]

Lester had called a couple of days ago, saying that there had been a lot more anomaly activity and they needed all hands on deck, he had even - if somewhat reluctantly invited Connor to tag along to help them.

Since they were heading home, Cutter thought that this was a good opportunity to finally tell the team about him and Connor being together, they had already told Cutter’s Connor the news - which it turned out they’d had nothing to worry about, he was very firmly in love with Abby and had been very supportive of them being together.

The team had been supportive as well, even Stephen - Cutter knew there was a lot of history between them and he had been nervous about telling Stephen, not just because of everything that had happened with Helen but the times that he and Stephen had tried and failed to make it work between them before deciding to be really good friends instead.

Now that he’d told the team, he supposed now was as good a time as any to let them in on his discovery that there was a traitor amongst them - he’d called a meeting with both Connor’s, Abby and Stephen - he felt bad about not including Jenny in this but he didn’t know how far up it did go, from what he’d gathered from Connor it went fairly high up and he didn’t want to include her in this just yet.

He’d arranged for them to meet in the gym but he was waiting in his office first with Connor, mentally preparing himself to go and meet with them.

“What if they don’t believe me?” he looked worriedly over at Connor, “what if they … I don’t know, think I’m just paranoid or something?”

( in which there's a secret meeting, news about a rogue mammoth and some scheming )
