AMELIA MCCONNEL

Amelia sat in front of her computers. She had long since been raised to the rank of Chief Engineer. She was studying their computer security system for its yearly review. She had been making sure that no hackers could break their systems. Which meant that they needed to keep it up to the latest technology. She was adding a few new security measures to make the system almost impenetrable. She smiled liking the work. The month was slow for clients, so she had taken the opportunity to check each computer system they had. She loved computers, they were her hobby and job here at Shield.

"Hmm, this is interesting. It would seem someone tried to hack us. Well lets see if I can track him or her. No one messes with my computer systems."

She laughed a little as she let her fingers fly on the computer keyboards. Amelia smiled a little as she brought up all her programs. No one hacked her programs and got away with it. She would back hack until she knew everything and crashed the persons computer.


CHIEF ENGINEER
Dune came upon Amelia at her desk and leaned over her chair, putting one hand on her desk to steady himself as he smoked a cigarette with the other and watched her work on the computer screen. "I'm glad we have someone capable of this s**t." he remarked with an exhale of smoke. "Any updates I should know about?" he then asked her, as he tipped his sunglasses down and his green-blue-teal-gold-explosion-of-color eyes searched for her attention.

Amelia smiled a little as she looked up at him. Updates? Well she had plenty, such as fixing some of the broken code that had been malfunctioning some of the upper security system. But that was basic things.

"Someone has tried to hack us, while I was working on this. It would seem that they thought it would be funny"

She told him as her fingers flew on the keyboards. She smiled a little as she continued to find the mans IP address. She had found it rather quickly, except it was but one buffer that he had went through. It was a professional that had hacked her. But she had something in store for the computer, as she finally found it.

"Aha, got you"

She laughed as she backhacked the mans computer. It had taken a little while, but she now knew everything she needed to, taking all the information from the computer, as she overloaded its systems, making it crash with critical failure.

"Sucker, don't ever mess with my computer"

She looked at the boss with a smile.

"Sorry about that, may I help you with anything Mr. Revedouard?"


CHIEF ENGINEER
Dune pushed his glasses back over his eyes and stood up straight. "Just makin' sure you aren't falling asleep, sweetheart." He told Amelia before taking another drag of his smoke and turning to leave her to her business. "Good work, good work. God knows I could use some." He commented on his way out her door.

Dune shut Amelia's office door behind him and wandered down the hallways toward the elevator. He got inside and pressed the Lobby button. Maybe some time in the bar would distract him from his complete lack of customers.

Amelia smiled at the boss. She settled down a little as she finished destroying the mans computer. After all, it was her skills that got her the job. She loved showing them off. She smiled before the Boss left the room.

"Falling asleep hardly? I have a lot of stuff to catch up on. That last field assignment had been a long time."

She explained as she finished up the job. She would be at this for a few hours more at least, catching up on the security systems. Amelia smiled at the computer as the man left, though the smoke reminded her of the last time she had smoked, which wasn't more than six hours ago. She decided that it would be time for a break. Besides, the computers were currently syncing everything back up. The Security system had reset, and she just finished putting all the employee's back in at their security levels. She got up, deserving a drink and a smoke. She locked her room up and went up to the Lobby.

Amelia returned to her workroom without a goodbye. The two of them seemed to be having fun, and she had to finish her work. She had given them but a nod before leaving the lobby and going down to the second floor where her work was. She smiled as she entered her room, which was exactly how she left it as usual. She sat down at the computer glad to see it was done its thing and started to type fast on the keyboard. She looked at the many monitors she had around her. This was the security hub, and many of them showed the many rooms of the entire building. The one she was working on was the biggest, and was right in front of her. She was typing away, ignoring the two side keyboards, as she was programming the new code. The one she was almost finished with. Two years of designing and it was so close to being shown to Dune. She smiled at the thought. He would love it. It was a security code. One that was almost impossible to break. She should know, she tested it. She had made sure to see whatever ways she could and fix them. If there was a break, it wasn't one she found. It would take years for their enemies to catch up on this.

"Perfect"

Was all she whispered as she finished the code, and saved it. She then imediately burned it to a disk. Just one disk, one that she had encrypted. She had the password, that was all she needed. She smiled at the disk.

"You will make us billions"

She whispered. And it was worth it. All the hard work she had spent on it. Once it was done, she turned back to the monitors, watching to see if anything had happened. She had new key cards for the employee's, because theirs would expire within the next day. It was another security measure. They stopped Assassins for a living, some were bound to still be alive, and angry about it. She had to make sure they couldn't get in.

Bang! Bang!

Varick finished off the last two rounds in his pistol before finally letting out a deep breath and sporting a mild smirk. The former spec ops soldier looked up at his targets and gazed confidently at the areas of where he had accurately hit. The head, and the heart. These two locations on the human body were instant kills which were meant to drop the opposition without wasting any ammo. Of course, it takes a lot of practice, and well, that's what the Training room was for wasn't it? He had joined the week before, and already he had grown accustomed to his new workplace. Hell, he couldn't stay out of it.

"Fox", at least that's what they call him, did not have the muscular build that many of his former comrades possessed. Although he was quite tall, he only weighed in at 180 pounds at least. Of course, he had focused more on his speed and skill rather than brute strength alone. His training regiment didn't really consist of heavy strength training, just enough for him to lift more than his body weight for equipment that he would be using. Despite being in his mid-twenties, his constant workouts had kept him looking young and healthy. His shaggy, black hair (uncut after retiring from military service), fell a few centimeters in front of his deep, brown eyes.

Once more he looked on the objects he had fired upon and had managed to place all of his bullets into the fatal areas of the body. He gripped his pistol and examined it carefully. He took out the empty cartridge and placed a new one inside it before holstering it back into its place on the right side of his waist. Varick whistled a tune as he began walking over to the elevators. After a nap or so, then maybe some grub from the first level, he would continue on with more practice with his sniper. One should not go rusty in his skills, for all he knew, he could be very well be placed in a mission out of the blue.

Varick stepped out of the elevator, already underground in the living quarters. He slowly walked his way towards his room, continuing to whistle loudly as he passed by some of the room. Every now and then, Varick would spot a security camera or so and would openly wave at him with a charming and sly grin on his countenance. Might as well greet the one who's watching out for 'intruders'. Although, Varick would feel sorry for any thieves that think they could last in a building full of armed killers.

Amelia smiled as she watched Fox wave at the Camera's. He was a new member, actually just joined. He was tall for a skilled killer, but watching the training room, she could see he knew his stuff. She laughed a little as she watched him wave at every camera. He seemed to be charming, though she hadn't talked to him yet. She spent most her time in her own section of the underground level. One where not many could get in, in fact you had to have special clearance. She had long since earned that, but not many of the others had. She switched the camera's to go straight to her remote computers in her living quarters, tired and needing some sleep. She stepped out of the office. Her rooms were on the same level, though across past the training area. She smiled a little as she passed Fox.

"Hey, your the new one aren't you?"

She asked playing dumb. After all he didn't know that she had read everyone's file. As part of the security and computer person, she had access to all the files. But she would never give any of them away. That was unprofessional. She tilted her head a little looking at the killer. He was a good shot, and clearly military, though she couldn't place from where.

Varick’s attention was placed towards the sudden attention of a female colleague. He had not been expecting any company at the moment, but he didn’t ignore it. Rather, it was nice to speak to another human being at some point. However, he silently thanked the Lord that it was a person of the fairer sex. He have had enough of the gritty men in his career, and it was a sight for sore eyes most definitely. He studied her for a moment before allowing his grin to continue at her, his somewhat sharp eyes giving him an almost fox-like appearance whenever he had done so.

You’re right to assume that. The name’s Varick Aehrenthal, codenamed FOX-29…eh…if I’m allowed to tell you of course.

In his former career, Varick was never sure who to trust or who to talk to, but then again, if she wasn’t a member of the company, then she wouldn’t have been down here. There was also a way that she carrier herself that made him somewhat aware of her status. Surely she must have been a long-time worker for her to easily approach a new guy. Then again, she could have joined last week like he had and was already well-adjusted to the life. But hey, that was just a guess.

He crossed his arms and the tension in his muscles relaxed. Eying her with curiosity, amusement, and overall readiness to socialize, Varick continued talking, “Judging from the waitresses up top, and yourself, I’m guessing every female employee here is good-looking? But…let me guess, you’re more deadly than what you appear to be huh?

Dune exited the elevator on the second floor and walked briskly down the halls toward his office. He unlocked the door with a swipe of his clearance card and slammed it behind him. The door locked. Once inside Dune poured a large glass of whiskey from the bottle on his desk, downed the liquid, and proceeded to throw the glass into a wall, shattering it on impact. He took off his hat and jacket and tossed them at the coat rack as he circled the desk and dropped into his chair. He loosened his tie and reached into the drawer of his desk to pull out a six shooter. He pressed the barrel into his temple. "F**k me." He mumbled before tossing the firearm into his desk drawer and shutting it. He grabbed the bottle of whiskey off of his desk and took large swills from it. It was quite possible that he would pass out in his chair tonight.

[EDITED]

Amelia laughed a little. She was more deadly than she looked, though she prefered not to kill others. She smiled even more as he continued to talk. It was clear he was a charmer. She shrugged a little.

"I am Amelia, its nice to meet you"

She smiled a bit as she looked around them. She had grown to love these hallways. They were home, and always would be home. She wondered if any of the others thought of it like that.

"I am not nearly as deadly as you think. I am mainly the Chief Engineer."

She said simply with a laugh. He was certainly sweet. She sighed a little. She had to report the disk to the boss. Of course it could wait until the next day. He may be drinking, something that he did a lot. However, she needed to make sure the disk was safe. The sooner it went into his hands, the sooner it was safe. She didn't want to keep it too long. If it fell into the someone elses hand it could be disastrous.

"I must be going, but see you around"

She smiled a little as she went to the elevator. It didn't take her long to get to the second floor. She walked up to the office just in time to hear the glass smash, fist raised to knock on the door.

User Image Cool calm blue eyes watched as her desk was set up, right outside of the bosses’ office. Nicolette stood there in silence with her arms crossed and the weight of her ample body to one side. The two workers tried to glance at her sneakily but every time they did her eyes were locked onto them, the seriousness in her gaze telling them that they less chance than a snowball in hell.
After about an hour, though it had seemed much longer, her area was complete and she could get her things situated. The raven haired woman sat down, testing out the feel of the space that was t o be hers and smiled softly to herself, her lips that bright vibrant red they had been yesterday.
Having found the desk to her liking, the boss’ assistant stood up and headed back outside. Their first encounter hadn’t ended well so Nicolette was determined to start fresh, even if that meant acting as if the man hadn’t called her a whore. The thoughts about the night prior made her blood boil but she managed to calm herself before she got to the coffee shop to order two cups.
She returned to HQ , coffee in hand, and walked into Dune’s office with a smile that didn’t seem to hold the same eagerness it had the last time they’d seen each other.

It hadn't taken Amelia long to figure out that she would give the disk later. The shattering of the glass usually meant the Boss was pissed off. She tended to stay away when that was the case. Instead she had kept the disk with her until morning. It was the next day when she had gotten up and got dressed quickly. Her eyes scanning her rooms as they always did. Always make note of your surroundings was one of her mothers biggest lessons. Even the smallest thing could be an indicator of something wrong. Seeing nothing, as usual, Amelia had left her rooms and went up stairs to the second floor once again. She hoped the Boss was up, or at least would be happy with her new program. She saw Vivian there and smiled politely.

"Nicolette, it is nice to see you this morning"

She smiled, though it didn't reach her eyes. She wasn't sure how she felt about this new woman. She was off a little. Those charms of hers, even the bit that Amelia saw, were enough to rile any man. It was odd to see a woman use such charms on the Boss. But it had put Amelia's hackles up. She thought of the boss like a brother, her only family left in the world. And most woman with that kind of charm, well where manipulators.

User Image Nicolette smiled back at her, aware of what the other's gaze meant. She'd had her good looks since she was 13, so she was used to being scrutinized by other women. From the way she'd seen Amelia and Dune act with each other the night prior, the girl was one of the most dangerous kinds of women... the little sister.

"Good morning Amelia... sorry I don't have an extra coffee for you, maybe next time?"

She smiled warmly at her and sat the coffee meant for Dune on the desk next to him, using her now free hand to move her dark hair away from her face.
