Space Shuttle Discovery being moved to Bay No. 2 of the VAB Assembly Building from OPF 2 for temporary storage. Space Shuttle Columbia returned from California following STS-9 and went to OPF 2 for post flight processing before returning to California for modifications. After Columbia departs, Discovery returned to OPF 2 to continued modifications and preparation for her maiden flight, STS-41-D.

"This bay on the west side of the building in view of the maintenance hangars which is not equipped for the assembly of the STS, is simply used for the storage of external tanks. On the walls in place of the old mounting platforms of the Saturn Apollo launchers were arranged storage cells for the external tanks before their assembly. The lower part of the bay (45 m by 55 m) is large enough to store an Orbiter horizontally. A canvas is stretched above the vehicle to prevent any falling objects. The transfer aisle does not allow passage to the large bays, the Orbiters enter through the large doors of the bays as for the rollouts thanks to a paved road allowing access from the OPFs."

Location: Prewett Estate Date: December 27, 1983 - Flashback With: @melancolialunar

James was dead.

Sirius’ jaw clenched and unclenched, the thought running through his mind on repeat.

James was dead.

He stood from where he’d been sitting, the chair’s wooden legs scraping against the old, creaky floor as he shoved it back, and began pacing the length of the room, hands balled into fists at his sides. James was dead, gone, and so was Benjy, and Marlene and Emmeline and Gideon. They’d lost so much - so much - but losing James...

It was like something had snapped into place in his mind when Benjy had exploded, after months of searching and denial, that James was dead. He was actually dead. Gone. And Sirius couldn’t handle that, because it was obvious that intel had been given to the Death Eaters that led to his capture - intel only an Order member could know.

Sirius hadn’t slept since returning from the failed mission, having dealt with Order higher-ups for his malfeasances upon returning, and then pacing the length of his flat for the rest of the night, wrought with anger and upset (and maybe a little bit of guilt). He’d been told to stay home, to take a break from Order business, but Sirius couldn’t get it out of his mind.

He couldn’t get it out of his mind that the spy responsible for the intel leak was, in fact, Remus.

And the more he thought about it, the more sense it seemed to make. Remus had spent months in secret running with the werewolves, had lied so easily about that before, could easily have empathized with their supposed plights and found a better “deal” siding with Voldemort. Sirius wanted to think it far-fetched, that Remus would never, but doubt had crept into the edges of his minds, and all Sirius could think now when he thought of Remus was spy. Remus had been insistent that James was dead, had too easily given up on their friend, and he was a werewolf.

Sirius had heard stories of werewolves growing up, of dark creatures only out for themselves, and Remus had, he thought, proved himself to be otherwise. But... he couldn’t shake the thought that, maybe, Remus was more like the creatures from the stories than he originally thought. It was difficult to stray from one’s nature, after all, and it was in a werewolf’s nature to be a monster.

And so, with Benjy’s blood still staining his skin, Sirius had decided that he was going to confront Remus. He’d finally scrubbed himself clean in the early afternoon before sending an owl, asking Remus to meet him at Headquarters. It was brief, vague, all Sirius could muster without losing it completely. So, he waited, pacing the floor, because James was dead, and it was likely because of Remus.
