You got time?"[/color] Sean said as he stood in the door frame of Colonel Trotter's office, while the man stood at his desk outfitted with a mount that allowed him to work on his computer while standing at his desk. Both men shared stern looks upon their faces. "Depends on what it is. So out with it, Agent Stone." Trotter did not mince words, but Sean expected as much. He shut the door to the office and walked up towards the desk. There was only a chair on Trotter's side so sitting was not optional unless you wanted to just go criss-cross applesauce on the nearly reflective floor. It appeared to be so clean, one could probably eat off of it. [Color=tan][i]The budgeting of this group…[/i][/color] [Color=tan]"Colonel… I've voiced my opinion about my current responsibility and… I agree with you. The assets need to be tracked due to the value of their biological enhancements and the advantage they give us."[/color] Sean explained before sighing. He chose his start wisely. He was intentionally stroking some ego, but now he had to be a bit more real with the man. [Color=tan]"But we can't accomplish that with tracking chips and myself alone. You're basically sitting me out of the game to be the water boy for a team that's not even playing."[/color] "A team that's not even playing?" Trotter was not totally following Sean's analogy. [Color=tan]"The assets. Task them with actual missions and investigations instead of keeping them cooped up. Angel won't tell me, but she is up to something. And I don't need to have a higher clearance to know that this group is keeping her from it. She's going to find out anyway, so why not guide her."[/color] "Because she can't handle it! She wants to kill the leader of the Sanguine Moon and it will only lead to her death. Operation Humanity cannot have that. Even now, we have coordinated an ambush to take that cocky son of a bitch down! To get Alexander, we need patience and coordination. Not an impulsive child with a vendetta." Trotter scowled, showing he was not budging. "You want to know why the experiments are just the roving guards of Ember Grove and not an organized team? I'll up your clearance so you can find out yourself and see things the way I do, Agent Stone. In the meantime, I have people who can keep a close eye out on our assets... Times up by the way." Trotter returned his gaze to his monitor as Sean gave a nod before exiting the room. [Color=tan][i]Fuck that guy. He wants me to read up on the frankensteins. Fine, but I'm sleeping first.[/i][/color]
