Well, John was being grilled by the Higher Power over his relationship with Yukari, while HM offered to take him to a casino. This was when John kind of revealed one of the setbacks of his augmentations.
They got there and john won 10,000 dollars and met some of HM's friends.
John and HM warmed up a bit and settled their differences, but HM had a personality swap and began punching trees.
John asked him what was the matter and HM said that there were characters that killed his father in base 3.
John didn't say anything about it, but he did console HM about his father, saying that his father was a good person.
After that, John and HM got Huey a wheelchair and now they're trying to repair the Pupa and Mantis.
Here's where you left off, i think...
