*I bring out my hand to shake, but an M1911 slides into my open palm instead with the barrel directly pointed at you*
*I am still a good distance away, maybe a few metres*

*I lower my hand* Woah.... Careful there.

*A message is translated directly to your HUD* [quote]You would've been shot quite a few times right now. Those swords could be useful for disarming a firearm wielding opponent. You can pommel smash the gun out of their grip with one blade and attack with the other.[/quote] *The M1911 retracts back into the arm slot and I go to actually shake your hand* [quote]Welcome to Venom, Berrigan.[/quote]

You seemed pissed. Sorry, I would've retaliated, but I had a question to ask you.

[quote]Not pissed at all, actually. What's the question?[/quote]

What did Apophis sound like?
-
[quote]I never heard him directly. Always heard him through the kid... Know something, soldier. I'm not one to care about gods. I've put a bullet through a few, actually. But that Apophis... It didn't seem like one. I don't doubt that it was, but to me? To me that damned snake was an incarnation of the kid's hate. Chaos, maybe. But he sold himself to it out of pure hatred the way I see it. Lost his family, lost his home. So whenever that Snake spoke, I didn't hear a god. I heard the literal chaos within a man's hatred.

It's just... I've been, hearing things. These, little whispers. Saying things like, "I'm here." And "Eventually, you will release the power." I've been worried.

[quote]We need soldiers, not psychos.[/quote] *Somehow, you know he's said that before* [quote]Keep yourself in check and you'll be fine. I'm sure you're not the only one with little voices inside their head with this kind of job.[/quote]

I know. It's just, If I need to talk,can I trust you?

[quote]One thing that keeps us all somewhat related here, Berrigan, is trust. We all know what betrayal feels like. As much as an asshole I can be, I'm loyal. But don't fool yourself when I say this. I am ready to dispose of danger when faces with it. Is that clear?[/quote]

Of course. Anyways, I have to go. See you, Phoenix.
