The Lambert House, Planet Denver

[Manticore]

ID: James Lambert

Lambert nodded, slowly. He couldn't really believe that this man, who up until very recently was one of the most gung-ho soldiers he'd ever met, had become so... defeated. Defeated and a little scared too, he thought. If it could happen to Clark, it could happen to anyone, and that was a sobering thought.

Clark obviously didn't seem ready to give out any details of the events leading up to his injuries, but Lambert realized he didn't need to. His expression, tone of voice, and what he hadn't said told the tale well enough. Whatever had happened had broken the man Clark had been.

Lambert decided to change the subject a bit, rather than respond to the former Commander's statement. "So, what are you doing these days, then? Join up with Josie at DSE, perhaps?"

He smiled a bit, trying to encourage the man.
