"Excellent...this place is paradise. Now, as far as shelter, where have you been staying, we should make that the base of our operations." As if he was just sent to cause trouble, Smith had to say these kind of things.

Cypher was silent a moment, thoughts quickly running through his head. As much as John had annoyed him that morning, he couldn't send this Tala back to their cave...hopefully if he just stayed away the other two would forget about him in time.
"err..."
He struggled to come up with an acceptable answer, gaze darting around nervously.
"You...wouldn't want to stay there. It's not...suitable...for your needs? I'm sure we could find a better place..."
Oh yeah...that would work. Or at least he hoped it would.

Smith stared down at the small pup, he was hiding something, but he would humor him for now, just to keep the pup under his control. "Alright then. Find us somewhere to stay. I'll be waiting back under the tree with the crushed bike." Smith padded back to the tree, plotting his next move silently in his head.

"Okay!"
Cypher dashed off, paws carrying his small body as fast as possible in the search for a home for his new 'friend'.
It was a while before the pup returned, and when he did he was obviously pretty tired. Tail drooping and feet dragging, Cypher returned to the tree. Panting heavily, the pup flopped down into the cool grass.
"I found a place...back that way...."
Tiredly lifting a paw, the pup pointed.
"Far away from others....cave behind a waterfall....has a side entrance too in case you can't get...er..those...things.....wet..."
He meant those odd tentacles, but the pup didn't know a proper name for them.

The small pup has proved useful to Smith, at this rate everything would be his to control. "Good work, good work. You shall be rewarded for your efforts. For now, you may rest." Smith wouldn't know anything about rest and being tired, he could go forever without sleeping and be just fine, but he knew how the 'normal ones' needed it.

"I'm fine..."
But of course he wasn't. Even as the words were spoken, Cypher's eyes were drooping shut, body demanding rest...NOW.
A moment later and he was sleeping lightly, curled up a bit in the grass. If he still had his memories, he never would have fallen asleep in the presence of Smith or any other Agent...but ah, that was the bliss that ignorance brought at times.

Smith stood and stared at the pup, he really had forgotten it all, given time he would remember, but now was the time to take advantage of his youth and overtake his free thought. Smith raised his needle like tail and positioned it just above Cypher's head...this is where things got good...without hessitation he pierced through Cypher's head, the small pup was now infected, there was no longer any chance for escape. Though this process sounded painful, with Smith's skills the seemingly painful infection felt just like a misquito bite to Cypher. The poor pup never knew what happened.

Cypher's body gave a small jerk, but no other signs of distress came from the injection. Indeed, over time the memories would return to him, but by then he'd be so far under Smith's control it wouldn't matter anyway.
Poor thing had no idea what was going to happen to him...perhaps it was better that way.

Now that the infection process was complete, Cypher wouldn't question Smith's authority, which is exactly what Smith wanted. "Heh." was all Smith said after fully corrupting Cypher. He picked up the pup in his tentacles and made his way to the 'cave behind a waterfall' which was soon to become their base of operations.

Cypher's body lay limp in Smith's tentacles. Despite the injection and the movement, the little pup was still sound asleep.
The cave itself was a distance away, but being larger Smith would be able to cover the ground far faster than Cypher had.

Durring the trek over to the cave, Smith had time to think out what his next move would be. Cypher was a good minion now, but he needed more to join his side before he could truly do anything. Using Cypher's better knowledge of the area and it's inhiabitants he assured himself that it was only a matter of time.
Upon reaching the cave Smith was impressed, it was quite large, the little pup had done his job, and done it well. Smith's now infamous smirk returned once more. He placed the small pup down in a corner of the cave, Smith would take residence in another corner opposite Cypher, staring into thin air Smith's brain worked overtime plotting the take over.

Soon enough the ball of white fur began to move as Cypher woke back up. Lifting his head, the pup's maw opened in a wide yawn before he took a look around the cave.
"erf?..."
Disorientated for a moment, the pup pawed at he back of his head....it sure did feel weird...
Soon his eyes fell on Smith, and the pup watched him silently.

"Good morning Mr. Reagan." Smith spoke in a half sarcastic tone. "You did quite well in finding this place, it will serve our purposes quite well. But now I need something else from you, I need you to gather as much information on the inhabitants of this place as you can, specifically their weaknesses."

Cypher pawed at the bike chain a bit, starting to take it off his neck.
"I know some of them already...I watched them while wandering around..."
Indeed, before Cypher had come to live with John and Jane, he had spent some time wandering, and spying on those living nearby.

Smith shot a tentacle out and gripped the chain around Cypher's neck. "Best keep that on."
Smith thought for a second, back to when Cypher stalled. "You're keeping something from me. Tell me where you were staying before."
