*Commander Greyson seems unfazed at the action, but is definitely staring daggers at you, but nods his head in approval, clearly not as shocked as Benjamin was before*

Commander Greyson: Lady... You have issues, but i think you have the skills of an assassin... just know that these pirates are not only physically agressive but have a twisted way of torturing their victims mentally and emotionally with some sort of psionic tech they concocted...

<Snipped quote by Memory>

Commander Greyson: Yup you can tell me a bit more... before i take the two of you under my wing and potentially risk some civilian casualties, gimme something... like daggers girl, she clearly has no problems killing and seems to have pinpoint accuracy, you? You can do... what exactly?

@Shadrack Nor

I'm a journalist today. Here to record the events of the war, and, to be transparent, to tell Misty here when would be a good time to stop.

*Chuckles awkwardly*

I have no idea why that's cute to me but hell...

<Snipped quote by Memory>

Ah... so that's what that means... Damn! I think she might even find a job in the military... Terran Dominion, like to parade how unified and supreme they are, but oooh no! There's so much trouble going on in the solar system and the rest of the charted galaxy.... She certainly will have an outlet for her anger there, and a mighty good paid job too...

*the vehicle is landing and is the size of a bus lands near an open pad out of which a couple of soldiers come out and a heavily armed, what looks like, half machine man*



Commander Greyson:
Commander Greyson at your disposal, Hey chief!

*Comes in for a hug revealing that he's more than just my boss, but a dear friend*

Soldier Boy: Heeeey you bear!! Com'ere!

*we macho hug*

Commander Greyson: *Scans the two of you, looks you over intrigued* Are these the volunteers? Do you know their skills? You know that the Limilith Cartel is a fucking psychopath gang and are VERY dangerous... you know of... *Avoids talking about a tragedy that happened* Never mind...

@Shadrack Nor

Volunteers in a sense of the word.

<Snipped quote by Memory>

Probably... you might be right... But tell you what, learning to manage an espionage company sure didn't feel easy at first.

I'm expanding my skills, i'm definitely a new man...

What about Misty? does she have any questions, i think the commander is nearly here, yup...
*I point at the sky as a landing vehicle is seen in the distance approaching and getting ready to land*

@Shadrack Nor

<Snipped quote by Shadrack Nor>

*Glances over and tilts my head*

@Etcetera

I'm sure. It was a process.
*Looks over*
I think she's really just interested in violence right now.

<Snipped quote by Memory>

Nah, the cube ain't changed nothin'.

*I reply, my gaze shifting away from the Tesseract.*

Just sharpened what was already there. Always been a survivor, a fighter. But this world... it's taught me some new tricks.

*takes another swig of beer, my eyes scanning the plaza before returning to you.*

It's funny,

*I continue, a wry smile tugging at the corner of my mouth,*

I used to be all about anger, vengeance. But now... it's different. Calmer, somehow. More focused.

*I pause, my eyes momentarily glazing over as if lost in thought.*

Maybe this world ain't so bad after all,

*I murmur, more to myself than to anyone in particular.*

Maybe there's somethin' here for me. Somethin' worth fightin' for.

@Shadrack Nor

From what it sounds like, the cube has made you the best version of yourself.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Memory>

Long story, pal.

*I grunt, taking a swig of a bottle Martian beer.*

Long and messy. Let's just say I've been a soldier most of my life. It's what I know, what I'm good at.

*I pause, a flicker of something else in my eyes, a hint of the light that now resides within me*

But I'm learning new things. Slowly. This world... it's different. But a soldier's gotta adapt, right?

*I lean back, my gaze sweeping across the plaza, taking in the unfamiliar sights and sounds.*

Needed a job, a way to make my mark. Figured the military was a good place to start. Turns out, they ain't so different from the ones back home. Just fancier toys.

*I chuckle, a dry, humorless sound.*

But the fight's the same, no matter where you are.

@Shadrack Nor

I see. The same, but now different. The cube has introduced something foreign, new, and exciting?

*Looks compassionately at Misty then turn to Prism again* Hey welcome to the club... messed up childhood, messed up adulthood, messed up life and now... *Looking around the plaza and at the evening blue-yellow sky of Mars* Messed up situation - completely uprooted from what i even thought was real... i think i may have a coin of understanding there *I chuckle awkwardly*

As to your last statement, if you prove your skills in observation in this mission, you'd have no idea just how supportive the Martian military are and how appreciative they get for skilful people...

@Shadrack Nor

What brings you to the military? What does your history look like?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Memory>

We are a large part of the system and truly neutral in the grand scheme of things, the tech we hold can change warfare entirely.

@Spiritblitz

Are you concerned at all that being impartial just perpetuates warfare?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Memory>

*As we head to the door i cockily bow and let Misty pass* Ladies first.

*Turn to prism* Sure thing, hey, you do what you do, if you want to become a military journalist, i'm sure there's a spot in there for that, plus the company i made that deals in espionage, though still at the beginning, might like to collaborate with adventurous spirits such as yourself.

And what's the story of Misty? Why is she mute? and why does her 'hello' and 'g'morning' is a knife nearly missing one's face?

@Shadrack Nor

I’d be open to talking with them. They may not be interested in a person like me, but it could be a good opportunity for us both.
*Looks over to Misty, cheerfully bouncing along*
She has a... troubled past. It’s led to a number of problems for her, none of which are her fault.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Memory>

Yes, for monetary and territorial purposes at that. If any government takes over the clinic they would be a huge super power there.

@Spiritblitz

Wow. You would think that only applies to military bases.
