The Lambert House, Planet Denver

[Manticore]

ID: James Lambert

The doorbell rang, and Lambert rose from his position of quietly listening to Pita and Reginald to go answer it.

He was surprised to see Alexis and even more surprised to see the children with her. He'd mentioned to her on duty recently that she was welcome to come by with them, but he wasn't expecting to have them arrive while he already had another guest.

He ushered them inside and was about to make the round of introductions when there was another knock on the door. Frowning, he returned to the door, opening it to see Clark standing there on his crutches.

"Jorzza! I..." he hesitated, taking in the man's appearance. "Come in, come in! I was meaning to comm you sometime about... all this," he said as the man hobbled through the door. Lambert closed the door behind them and escorted the former commander into the kitchen, away from everyone else.

"Tell me what happened. I read the official report but... I want to hear it from you."
