Cody & Williams (Ciphra & Sep)

Cody had missed the departure with the ground team this time around, it turned out that Williams wanted to talk with him. Could it have been for his individualism that he showed on the planet? If so was he about to recieve a lecture that he would smile and nod to while wishing to be anywhere but there? Or perhaps Williams had a better use of his talents? He could only hope that this was the case. In either event the ground operation had begun and this had better not just be a waste of his time. From what he’d understood about the planet there were several good sniper perches he could’ve used to help the ground team out and that would make use of his full talents as a sniper. In any event he approached Williams office and pressed the buzzer twice on the door to await Williams permission to enter his office.

Williams pressed the button on his dek to open the bulkhead doors at the entrance to his office, of course from his perspective he had still had them coated with a fine oak not to ruin the visage of his expensive office. Unlike all the other rooms in the ship the walls were not drab gray metal but fine dark oak, his table sat flush with the door and an old grandfather clock sat in the corner. On his desk lay mainly paper however there was also a laptop tucked up nicely. The window behind him had its shutters closed due to them being in battle on the outer edge of the hull. He sorted out papers as Cody came into the room. Very faint sounds of battle could be heard. He indicated to one of the comfortable seats opposite him. “Take a seat Lieutenant. I have a mission for you, more in line with your CIA training. Its questionable, if you are interested.”

As he walked in and sat down Cody raised an eyebrow in question. He glanced around the room once taking everything in. He couldn’t believe they actually changed all of this for the man, even if he was an IOA rep, of course that wasn’t his problem in the slightest and in the end he actually liked the clock. Cody had a good taste for antique’s especially clocks, but was it really an antique or just a replica? He looked back at Williams and said in his natural no emotion voice. “I’m ready for any assignment you have for me sir.” The ability to change one’s personality and feeling at will was a good ability, but there was no need hiding how he naturally was around Williams, at least until his orders to follow him were rescinded

Williams took out a small device, a small vial could be visible inside of it as well as a tip of a needle. “This device, will introduce a neurotoxin into a host that targets specific brain cells simulating death. It activates one hour after your pulse is elevated to a certain point. I need you for this mission as you can do deep cover and keep your cool. It will inject the poison into your body. It isn’t fatal but it will work for what we need it to.” He clasped his hands together on the desk. “You’re going to join the Lucian Alliance. Obviously if you just walk up they’ll likely shoot you. So you’re going to give them intel on an a Jaffa world. They’ll take you in, brain wash you and then this will activate. You must keep your cool before then and not let your heart rate elevate or it will activate and then the brainwashing will stick. The device will be placed under a fake layer of skin and is made largely of plastics so is hard to detect. Once you are in you will be our mole within the Alliance. Interested?”

Cody grinned. Finally his true talents could be utilized to the fullest, and the possibilities and potential of this operation were almost limitless. “I thought you’d never ask, sir.” He pondered a little more on the mission and then asked. “When will the insertion occur? I’m assuming you’d like it sooner than later? Or is that up to my discretion?” Of course Williams probably had something in mind already, but it didn’t hurt to suggest doing it himself, though that was probably because he enjoyed this kind of thing, especially the planning. Though this plan also had a few things that unlike previous missions could cause some serious issues if something went wrong, but he would just have to roll with the punches on this one.

Williams sighed. “Well for one, this mission is need to know. Only I aboard this vessel [i]need[/i] to know. You are being reinstated to your previous security clearance as a special agent though while aboard ship you are still just a second Lieutenant. I would prefer you manage to do it on the current operation as there is no telling when we will get another chance to infiltrate the forces of this new warlord [i][b]Kane[/b][/i] who has been appearing all over our intelligence networks. However if you do not feel it is feasible then it is up to your discretion.” . 

Cody nodded and pondered a moment. “Now will do just fine...Though if this device is activated based on my heart rate, what happens if I keep it low and it never ends up activating?” Cody knew just how good he was under pressure and wasn’t sure that his heart rate would reach the desired levels for this to work. If it did though this would be perfect, but was it possible that they wouldn’t even brain wash him and just interrogate him? No. They wouldn’t be able to pass up this chance especially with someone like himself. They would need people like Cody on their side if they truly wished to win the war.

Williams smiled slightly at this. “I know how well you cope with interrogation. Though interrogation and keeping your heart rate low to avoid a lie detector is different. The mind washing technology causes actual physical strain on your body to which your heart rate increases. It is like running for a long period of time, no matter what you do your heart rate is going to climb. True with training it won’t climb as much though you haven’t been trained to resist the mind control devices used by the Goa’uld and the Lucian alliance as far as I am aware.” He checked his watch. “I can have you on the planet in two minutes unless you have any other questions.”

Cody once more contemplaited what Williams had said. He had one idea to ensure his cover but would Williams be able to stomach it, or keep it a secret that he sanctioned the idea if he did give it the okay? Well in any case he’d have to ask, and even if the answer was no then he could still do it, though that would mean having no place to come back to if he didn’t get authorization. “Sir...There is one way that I can think of to make it easier for the Lucian Alliance to take me instead of killing me...I could fire upon our own men...I’d take my rifle and support the LA, with my training the chances of a vital hit are minimal unless I choose to make them fatal shots, though with this kind of thing it would never be a for sure thing...What would be the risk if we lost the battle, or at least gave them time to get what they need from here? Would that destroy any chance of stopping them? If not I could just help them enough to bring me with them, but it’s the best way to get them to take me alive, but sadly it’s also going to hurt our own more as well...I’m willing to bear this personal sin and if need be I would face full punishment when I returned, but that is probably the best option...Sir.” It was a long shot that Williams would say yes, but as Cody had stated it was his best chance, and since he wawilling to face the charges if he returned he may as well have been saying [i]’Are you going to authorize me, or am I going to be executed instead of reasigned where no one here will ever know what happened to me and continue hating me the rest of my life while I continue this line of work till I die?’[/i].
