this crusade's a charade

Shit...

Hey! Put that shit away.

Woah--

You don't see many things, do you?

[stares at the walls]

How long?

This magnitude? What are you planning, Operation Overlord?

I’m preparing for it.

{She reached around to grab the towel behind her, tossing it at him.} I thought your kind of preparation included labs and microscopes--not sweat.

Just trying to help.

Yeah, well, I've got it.

If you ware yourself out, there’s no way you’ll be 100%.

I can handle it, thanks.

Excuse me,

What're you working up a sweat for, Doc? Saving the future getting a little too strenuous?

You’re my only hope. Really. Wolf just likes throwing things at me. Actually, everyone does. So you actually helping me is pretty useful.

Maybe they're just waiting for you to grow a thicker skin. -- Keep holding that, we're almost there.

You would think. I swear this is like the eighth time I’ve said it today.

A year and a half into the apocalypse and they still aren't used to living with pain. Looks like some people have had it easier than others.

Positive. Worn out from training--trying to make sure I'm at a hundred percent before the Harvest.

Unless you’re screaming in agony, no you cannot have pain medication. 

You'd think people would understand by this point. It's not like we're having a Harvest for the hell of it.

Something the matter? 

--I'm fine. What you're seeing is called "really fuckin' tired."

I know, I know. I’ve been so clumsy. If I ever get pulled into a harvest, I’m screwed.

Well, work with me, and I'll make sure you aren't--but as of right now, your best bet is to cross your fingers and hope you aren't drafted.

I’m a freaking danger to myself.

{Jana gave a little arch of her brows and a breathy chuckle.} Yeah, that's for sure. You've gotta be more careful. There are plenty of things out there that can hurt you, you don't need to add yourself to that list.

[sticks her hand out] Are you going on the trip? T-To Vancouver?

{She took her by the forearm, looking closely at the wound.} There's still glass in here. I'm taking you to the hospital so a doctor can remove it. {Wrapping a cloth around it, she applied pressure to the wound.} Hold that. {She put a hand on her back to guide her forward.} Victoria, not Vancouver. And I volunteered. Hopefully, I'll be going.
