It's been quiet these last couple of days but Carter knew that people had ventured into Dogtown again. And he knew that those trips usually ended badly - if he only had to take care of some bruises and sprained ankles, it would probably be a good day. And if it ended up worse, he wanted to be ready.

Or maybe he just wanted to clock in some overtime to keep himself busy and not think so much about what happened with the artifact. What happened with Luka.

What happened with himself.

He's in the back part when Raine comes in, gathering some supplies he wants out and within reach and shows up a moment later, setting them down on one of the tables and he looks over at them quizzically.

"Hi."

Carter frowned, trying to remember what they had - oh. Yes. The research, that's right. He noded, leaving the equipment for now to stroll over.

"Sure, come on in. I'm not busy right now. You want some coffee? It's bad but strong."
