You know what? The HEAD MEETING can wait; You can use all of those FAVORS later.
There's only one thing that's on your mind right now. One thing that matters.
[UNSTABLE PERSON OF INTEREST] KILLING THE SPOOKS.
>You are now locked into the BASE ASSAULT. You can not quit this mission until everyone else is dead or the base is destroyed.
A rush of ecstasy washes over your frame. The flesh and muscle in your left arm slithers with serpentine fluidity. Your veins subtly shift their position to hide them deeper and deeper into your body. Your skin is pliable like silly putty; It's not going to let you shapeshift into another person but your body is incredibly fluid now.
You decide to test something out. You light a piece of cardboard from one of the boxes via FOCUSED TELEKINESIS. You lift the burning cardboard up to your hand.
Your skin doesn't burn. You don't feel the heat of the flame either. Your skin's fire resistant now? Interesting.
>FOCUSED FLESH WEAVERY OBTAINED!
>You are given FIRE RESISTANCE (Take 2 less damage from FIRE) for free. You'll adapt more during the BASE ASSAULT.
Good. This should make installing the implant easier. You got a LOT of phone calls to make as well...feh. This is the BORING part.
You begin to slowly cut into your stomach with one of the spear tips so you can stuff the implant into it. Well, you can dedicate some mental energy into ONE of the phone calls.
You dial up the HANDLER'S phone number. He answers it quickly despite the fact it's still, what, 5 to 6 AM? He must've not gotten a lot of sleep either.
"Nicole, you do know there's not going to be any mission today...right? I gotta go to the BIG CHEESE EVENT. Where EVERYONE with a FAT DICK and even FATTER TITS goes to SHOW THEIR CORPORATE POWER!!!"
"No but seriously. Why are you calling me?"
You don't even flinch as you violently shove the implant into your guts. "Simple. I'm hiring you for a mission I assigned MYSELF. We're going to the SPOOKS and we're STORMING one of their bases."
The call goes quiet. You're worried the call got intercepted or cut off for a moment.
"Hello-"
"Are you fucking insane? I think our current arrangement of you fighting a handful every mission is fine enough as is!"
"Uh huh. Did Gabriel tell you about what I had to fight through yesterday?"
"No? You got him all sloshed up, I haven't heard shit from him."
You quickly recap what happened when you were recovering him.
"Oh. Oh no. If they're willing to use a horde like that on ONE asset-" "Yep. God knows what they'd use those OCEP freaks for."
"Fuuuuckkkk. Fine! Fine, fuck it, you've had a 100% clean track record until now! Fine!"
"Yeah. I'm probably giving up on the Cleaner business after this." To be frank the amount of money you're going to make from this base assault and the Head Meeting will probably set you for life!
"I'm going to have to make a LOT of calls on your behalf. I hope you know what you're doing."
"I've never felt better." Your smile widens unnaturally.
