[At least he didn't really leave her waiting long, which doesn't go unappreciated. Marian wasn't quite sure what she expected either, but absurd hairstylings aside, at a glance he seems reasonably... normal.

Given how much of Anchor is in disrepair, I was hoping to get a more informed view of the status of the more technical facilities here. I would assume you'd know at least that much?
