Welcome to Gaia! ::

Then again, it didn't go unnoticed.

Security had indeed called for a few men to head outside and detain the synth until the proper authorities could be informed. She might not have thought to bring the guy in, but the security chief had. And meanwhile, while the being was being taken in towards a holding cell in the lower basements, Eripse was being taken to the office of...

"Roth Sinclaire, Commander of the Aekea division of RIOT. A pleasure to meet you, Eri. We already have you on file, so let's get to brass tacks. I'm sure you've heard about the recent riots and terrorist attacks as of late... unless you don't watch much TV, that is. No offense- there are people out there that don't, I understand."

He nodded and said, "There's plenty for you to do here, frankly. Until a peaceful solution can be worked out for all this by the headquarters in Durem, we need to make sure that no other lives are endangered. That means offerring our assistance to local police forces in counter-terrorist operations and riot control. They can handle the petty crimes themselves- I'm certain they have the mindset for it, of course.

"Naturally, there may or may not be attacks on this very front, so a portion of our forces will have to stay here, just in case s**t goes down.

"It's a difficult situation at best... so we need a bit of help. Someone who can be on-call just in case something arises. You'll be in support of the Heavy Assault division and the Unconventional Tactics division when situations arise. I'm hoping we can do business together..."

"Unless of course, you have a problem with that," Roth said as he raised an eyebrow. "You ain't very patient, are you Eripse? That's good, but remember who you're talking to here. Understand?"

Well s**t- that was a problem. But whatever- she would be a perfect compliment to R.I.O.T. Ten. In any case, he would have to teach her a bit of respect later- that was, if she went through the first combat mission fully intact.

"Right then," he said without losing his composure. Just one mark in his book if she ******** up. "We'll try and get some intelligence from the one you brought in earlier. Or rather, almost brought in. That sort of negligence isn't taken lightly elsewhere, so it won't be taken lightly here. Since this is your first time here though, I'll let you off without deducting from your pay... but if you don't carry through and actually bring someone in, I'll do so faster than you can flap those wings of yours. Hear me on that?"

"Whatever you say," he said with a stone-faced expresion. Okay, this was perhaps a bad idea. Then again, he was lucky that he had been trained to deal with these unruly types. "Right then- if you want to get some information, you should try and do so yourself- hell, bring it back to us. You bring back a decent enough piece of info about these guys and we'll do something to improve your... situation," he said with a smirk.

"Just make sure not to break anything... or anyone in the process unless you have to. You are only to fire when fired upon."

Roth shrugged and said, "We've got contacts and informants here and there around the city. You'll know one when you see them... or rather, if you see them. In any event, let's make this little information gathering session your first official mission. Get us a fix on where they'll strike next and I'll possibly get you an upgrade or two.

"Anyone finds out what you're doing," he said sternly, "And I have no business with you." Which meant that if her mission was discovered or someone captured/killed her, all ties would be cut.

"Understand, miss?"

He sighed and leaned back in his chair.

Hn... why did you hire her, Sir? She has no tact and less respect for authority. I swear, if I hadn't been trained so well I'd have cussed her out and the job would have been over there. I'll give her one shot and if she fails, she goes back to you with my... personal notes on her behavior.
