>>6112726Now returning to you. The police finally released you and most of your colleagues. You ordered the Ring to remain invisible for until you were safe. Now arriving at your apartment, you finally feel the fatigue rush at you like a freight train. Recoiling into the sofa, you stare at the sealing for an hour. You don't even want to know what the news is saying about the attack. You let your mind try to process... until you get from Anderson of all people.
>'Anderson...? What the hell does he want? Where the hell was he when everything was going down?'That question was for later, as you pondered even answering him. Frankly, you don't want to talk to anyone. But it has to be something worthwhile for him to call you.
>'What do you want?' Any pleasantries were out of the window. You couldn't care less for your attitude.
'Your tone isn't tolerated, but that doesn't matter at the moment. Can you do a favor for me?'
>'...What do you have in mind?''Well- I can't really say anything presently. But I got something, a big project. The same one that supposed to save us. Whole a lot of good that was. Anyway, I still need people, good people. You'll be compensated for your work, of course.'
>'Will I still keep my job...?' >'Not exactly, you will be present as a special consultant. You'll be relieved upon completion of the project. And to give a sample, you'll be paid 2 figures. Up front, no strings attached. But I understand if you decline, I'll make good recommendation letter. Just for you. What do you say?'>Accept his offer. This may be the deal with the Devil. But 2 figures? Who can say no in your position>Decline his offer. Tell him to go fuck himself and shove that recommendation letter up his ass. >Counteroffer. Ask him to get transferred to another branch. Even if it's a hole-in-the-wall, you're not too sure about this deal and you'll still be on S.T.A.R.'s payroll.>Write-in
