He sighs. "Task force 74, your looking at it. We fight wars people don't even know about."
-
"Oh! Like, some secret missions? Sounds cool!"
-
He frowns. "How old are you two mentally?"
-
[b]she looks at him, looks around, and then whispers.[/b] "Have you ever heard of the Vex chronological flux, commander Kovalenko of Valhalla? Because apparently, your girlfriend Kora Blair really doesn't. By the way, you're still thinking about your little escapade you had, her and yourself... in fact, right now, you're thinking about going back there. Well actually, you're wondering how I know all of this, and if it connects to the Vex flux I talked about. With all your special ops training you have, you're awfully amateurish at recognizing a front." [b]she steps away.[/b] "So! Secret missions? What kind?" [b]she smiles under her helmet.[/b]
-
He shakes his head. "These men are cleared for anything I'm cleared for, there is nothing I know that they don't. And recognizing fronts is difficult on new people."
-
"Well actually, it isn't a front. I just wanted to sound cool!" [b]she giggles. Rock facepalms, chuckling, and walks up to him.[/b] [i]"I'm Rock, sir. Trust me, she's a lot smarter than she looks. A real genius."[/i]
-
"I would hope so, so what are you two exactly, I haven't seen androids of your make before."
-
"That's because we're unique. Yes, we're androids."
-
"I see, what is it that you were built for?"
-
"We were built to be extremely powerful beings, having our synthetic DNA mixed with Extremely potent DNA."
-
"And what will you two do now?"
-
"Well... I dunno... I mean, we could be useful around here... but I'm not sure..."
-
He sighs. "Well, I guess a trial period might be available."
-
"Trial? For what?"
-
"To see if you have what it takes to join the task force. Few people even know we exist our selection process is by merit only."
-
"Okay! Great!"
-
"Just a few rules, no hitting the other soldiers. I need all the men I have. Two don't act like you're better than anyone else, I hear that and you're out, if someone gives you shit let me know. Three always help your brothers, no one gets left behind. Four, your mind shit, don't go off the deep end with it, the last thing I need is the inquisition up my ass again."
-
[i]"okay, but if anyone tries something on me or my sister, I'm defending her and myself. Clear?"[/i]
-
"Just don't kill them, teach them a lesson by all means and then tell me so I can make fun of them, just don't kill."
-
[i]"don't worry, I'll leave them enough fingers unbroken so they can still fire a gun, no problem. Although there... [b]might[/b] be a few knockouts, and losses of consciousness."[/i]
-
He sighs. "Just try and remember that they aren't all judging you, some of them might even be friendly, until you break their nose. You're exotic to them, no one's seen androids like you, don't be insulted."
-
[i]"I know that. But when one of them calls me a freak, I'll make sure he ends up looking and talking like a real freak, you dig? I won't beat up his friends unless they call me a freak too. I can be friendly, just with the friendly people. I'll only follow your rules if everybody else follows them."[/i]
-
"They aren't just for you, they are for everyone. I don't have many of them either, but those I do have I want people to follow. If you break the rules, I will break you. That's how it goes, if someone calls you a freak just smile and let me handle it, it's part of what they pay me for."
-
[i]"well sorry if taking care of myself and my sister comes first. If they lay a hand on her or me, they can kiss that hand goodbye."[/i]
-
"And I expect you to defend yourself, and your sister. All I'm saying is my guys aren't deadbeats, those don't tend to do very well with the type of power we have. I understand trying to protect your siblings, I have a sister myself."
