So you might have noticed there's a big ol' robot parked out back of the bunker at the Cooper farm. It's large and green and looks very battered.

Approach it, and one of two things happens.

Either you came during the day, and Val Bell is sitting on its head with a good book and a bowl of apples, or you came during the evening or night and it is apparently deserted. 'Apparently' being the key word.

What'll it be?

Oliver takes a deep breath in. His "Good Lord," comes with a sigh.

"The poor young man," he murmurs.

"Yeah."

He's thinking of Steve, not Gabe, when he says it.

Death is easy on the departed. It's tough on those left behind.

Oliver meant Steve too, though admittedly I was vague enough for interpretation.

"They'll be in my prayers."

He hopes this doesn't sound as thin to Neil's ears as it does to Oliver's own.

All he does is nod gravely.

So that'd be a no, then.
