"And what would those be? Unless you simply get off to being vague and mysterious." A switch inside of Kiara's CPU. She's serious now. "You terrorize random people, you're fighting a company for some reason, and god knows what else. What's the point."
You swear you see cracks forming in the welded shut manacles the Silver Agent is wearing. <span class="mu-s">"If you must know, it's simple. To keep the City running as it should. Eliminate those who pose a threat to us and the City, even a company or three. Make a few nudges to make sure what needs to happen happens. Without us, who knows where this City would be?</span>"
<<span class="mu-b">"If The Head continues to disappoint, I'm not sure we can continue tolerating their incessant failures. We might have to make to accelerate our plans involving them sooner than later."</span>>
>-1 RESTRAINT. 5/8 LEFT.
That explains a little bit but to what end? What do they actually benefit from keeping the status quo? Why do they turn people into anomalies? Why haven't they killed you if you're a potential threat? Why are they afraid of being seen? You doubt you'll get anything more out of him directly.
You pull out the old soot stained camera and aim it right at the Silver Agent. He stares right at the PARADIGM, as if he's never seen it before in his life. You would be horrified if he did, really. <span class="mu-s">"Intriguing."</span> <<span class="mu-b">"She didn't manifest that herself, did she?</span>>
...Huh?
You shake your head. You'll think about what he meant by that later. "Kiara, mind if you help me with this? I'm still getting used to it." Might as well play up the act to keep him thinking whatever he's thinking. "You know why."
[KIARA SEEKER] "Ah, of course." Kiara nods. "Wouldn't want you to push yourself too hard."
Looking at the Agent with the camera, you can make out that he's still in his uniform but he's far younger now. His body type at least has to be in his early teens. Compared to his generic late 20s to early 30s frame, it's a stark difference. The static filter is gone, revealing his actual face.
His short, messy light hair and his muted, dull colored eyes stare back at you through the camera. Blood has stained his uniform and by the looks of it, it's not that neon blue stuff. It's the same dark shade that blood should be (as much as you can tell through the Sepia filter). But that's all he is, a normal looking person. If it wasn't for the situation and the suit, you wouldn't even notice him.
Kiara begins to fiddle with some of the knobs and buttons on the camera while you try your best to keep the camera steady on the Agent. The cell he's in starts to fade away, being replaced with something else. The camera buzzes with an electric potential...
>26!
The footage quickly cuts to something completely discordant to your surroundings. In the middle of some dark alleyway in a district you don't recognize, he's bleeding out on the ground thanks to a MASSIVE gash across his stomach. The shadow of something clearly inhuman looms over him.
