Snippet #2411933

NPC: Damion Connors

Damion was fully equipped to go. He was in the cockpit of the Gunship, preparing for takeoff. He could not see if everyone had gotten on yet, but if they did not in the next minute then they would be left behind. There was a rush order on this job, and he was specifically selected for this. The Director of The Department specifically assembled the mission himself, and he had put more Agents on this then ever before. Granted, his family had always been elusive, but not only did they have an abnormally large amount of Agents for this, but they also had a large amount of HVPRs, and even a few heavy mechs. This was way more then necessary for his family. Maybe the director just wanted to leave no chance of failure, but even then, all this is a lot. And he knows that at least one of us would notice this. Whatever his goal for us going there is, either there is something there he knows but can't risk mentioning, or he doesn't even know what it is except its dangerous and powerful. Either way, my family, and The Director's target, will not get away.

He reviewed the profiles of the others. Damion was put as the main lead on the mission, even though he had been here less then the others. Although when he saw the profiles of the other agents, he could understand why he was promoted over some of them. Elysia was listed as unstable by the psychologist. Dylan had a previous run in with his family, specifically Avory, 7 months ago, after the Department showed him how wrong they had been and why they needed to learn what they taught. Her determination would help, but she was too lone wolf to be selected as leader. Because he had been the eldest brother, it gave him experience of what being a leader meant and what responsibilities came with it. Vance was a special case, and many files about him were listed as classified. He could only guess it was some sort of special case or a trial run of some experiment they had done, maybe related to his memory problems.

Ryan, however, had no indication as to why he would not lead this team. They both believed in what the Department were doing, unless they suspected Ryan might be a spy or something. But that seemed unlikely. After all, they both saw why the Department did what they did. At least, he suspected he did. Ryan seemed more stable then some of the others, and he had been working in the department for a long time, so he was sure that Ryan knew. He knew not all Agents knew though, because The Department wanted as few people to know as possible in case they were infiltrated. Its why they did what they did. It did seem like what they did was wrong, but the reasons were justified and they had no choice. Maybe that is the reason for all the forces...because of the true threat. If only people knew, but if they did, there would be panic. No, only by accomplishing the primary directive would the world be safe. Only then could they reveal the truth, and then all life could live together peacefully. But first, the threat must be dealt with. And if they got his family, that boost in numbers would be incredibly helpful.

As the gunship began to take off, he hoped everyone was on board. Because if he was right, then this battle might be tougher then any of them could expect.

(Brainwashing, or is there actually a dark secret? That is the question! And here is a comment. Great posting so far people! Love what I am reading!)
