[ you know who really needs to fuckin' throw his weight around? it's this guy, the guy who'd been too nice for too long when that stupid fucking bomb had gone off. he hadn't wanted to come here and help all the newly arrived idiots but guess he was here now and guess that meant he got to lop the head off some really fucked up creatures.
it's fucking awful to do it with his hands but he's not picky. he runs into a snake first and ends up grabbing it just before it strikes, twisting it around and then throwing it down the hallway. it survives and slinks away which is creepy but kovacs tries not to think too much of it.
he tries to slip inside a room to check it out but it's locked solid. it would be really fucking nice to have a cigarette right now. or at least a vape. cain had to go and fucking leave before he could get a refill, didn't he? ]
Open this fucking door!
[ that's gonna work. ]

[ there's a lot going on outside but guess what? kovacs isn't helping. he'd helped a lot during the actual aftermath of the bomb which means he's going to sit in a bar and drink. he does stop downing alcohol for a second to ask the bartender: ]
Was I in here the other day? With some woman? She owes me a fucking drink.
[ and she'd been the one to order him around more than anyone else. kovacs kind of wants to have a word to see who the hell she is and if that's something she usually does. the bartender doesn't give him any answers so kovacs goes back to his drink.
even as a bunch of relief workers come in and ask for volunteers, he ignores them. he's busy. ]
