No one ever became a covert operative because they're "good at taking orders." That's what soldiers are for.

Incidentally, no one ever became a covert operative because they're "good at following the rules." Breaking the law is part of the job description. As are all forms of deception and general dishonesty. What you need to to accomplish the mission.

So when the Admiral asks us for "Honour" it's all I can do not to snicker at his face. That always seemed like a poor excuse to send men to their death.

When he ask for "Loyalty," I have to put my hand over my mouth. Here he is sending a group of untrained clowns on a mission as a way to "evaluate their performance," more than that, he appoints one of them CO for the mission... I don't care if they're the x-men, that's the very definition of a liability...

That's why I didn't join the navy.

Judging by the online presence, this might be a ploy to have the infected fighting each other while expending minimal resources hence the complete lack of even basic training... whatever this is, I have a bad feeling about it.

I stepped onto the hallway, and Jack Lee after me.

"And who are you?" I ask, trying to assess just how suicidal this assignment is.
