===[[Gold Morning]]===
Lived through it when half of humanity on Gimel didn't.
===Post-[[Gold Morning]]===
Sometime in September Eric was recruited from college by Cinereal to work under her.<ref>“What’s your background, Eric?” I asked.  “You’re working under Cinereal?”<br/><br/>“Kind of.  Yeah.  I have been for a month.”<br/><br/>“Corporate before that?”<br/><br/>Again, that amused look.  “I’m curious why you think that.”<br/><br/>“Because a lot of the other options tend to take a firmer stance on things.”<br/><br/>“Not corporate.”  More amused.<br/><br/>“Not PRT,” I suggested.<br/><br/>“No.  Just a student.  I work here days, spend nights studying at Nilles.  I have to confess I only get a couple of hours a week where I’m not tied up, to go on dates, or do shopping that isn’t stopping in at the corner store.”<br/><br/>''So you’re one of the people who took my spot at the University,'' I mused. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/10/19 Excerpt] from [[Sundown 17.6]]</ref>
===[[The Second Shin Crisis]]===
Eric was assigned to interview [[Victoria Dallon]] by Cinereal.<ref name=7.6a>“Pulling together a meeting with everyone in one place seems difficult,” Cinereal said.  “Eric!”<br/><br/>Death and rebirth were on my mind so much that I felt a sudden emotional twinge at the notion that it might be my kid cousin.  A bit of pain at the realization it wasn’t. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/10/19 Excerpt] from [[Sundown 17.6]]</ref> He got on her bad side with his compliant attitude and disparaging comments.

Eric was one of the Wardens tasked with informing [[the City]]'s refugees of their part in the final stages of the plan to counter [[Titan Fortuna]]. He visited the camp, where [[Presley]]' family and [[John Druck]] resided.<ref name="II20.b">[[Last 20.b]]</ref>
