Summary
The heavy bass is making the oil-puddles shiver. Arthur leans against the wall, watching with a lazy eye as the puddles of filthy, iridescent water dance. Lines of neon jittering across their surface, pounding in time with the music, some garbage iridium synth track with too many drops that makes the whole alley vibrate, reverberating in his cyberware.
It sure as shit ain't good music, but the club is eating it up. Arthur supposes he should just be glad that he's not inside. He leans back, fitting his cigarette to his lips. A slow drag in, and then out.
Arthur holds his cigarette out - offering.
Eyes flick his way, glowing gold in the dark. His companion tilts his head, a silent refusal.

Summary
Arthur couldn't withstand it—the yawning, fetid chasm carved into his chest, oozing anguish like a wound too long untended. It festered, rank and inescapable, its edges blackened and tender, and yet he couldn't resist probing it, dirtying his hands further in the process. He clawed at it relentlessly, as though pain might bring absolution or, at the very least, numbness.
With those same hands, he tore himself asunder

Before going underground, he used his power to reassign the members to different units. Laswell and Price are able to get it under control, but not before Soap's departure date. Until it can get sorted out, Soap spends some time working under another lieutenant. Ghost doesn't appreciate the state that his Johnny is returned to them in.

Summary
“You know what kept me going, century after century?” Hob is angry enough, desperate enough, that his voice drops low, quiet. “Even when I had nothing?”
The music around them crests, waves crashing against the unyielding shores of time –
“Chimneys,” Morpheus answers, bland.
Oh, what a bastard.
--------------------
Or, dreams are memories, Hob reflects about life, and Morpheus learns a thing or two about what it means to be saved, and to be loved.

Summary
Even though Eddie's name has been cleared legally, he's still very much on trial in the court of public opinion. Dealing drugs isn't a lucrative occupation anymore, and getting a legitimate job in a town who still considers him a killer isn't much of an option, either. Eddie is beginning to think skipping town and starting over somewhere no one knows his name is the only chance he has left. Steve has another idea.
AKA: Steve gets Eddie a job as an anonymous columnist at a local newspaper.
