"Results." He didn't seem impressed by Lucky's articulation prowess either and spoke very slowly, just in case they weren't even on the same book. "If I allow you to pursue Samantha's work, I want to see tangible results. I you wish to pursue Samantha's work, you will need to produce tangible results. If you are incapable of even this, then you will continued to be trampled, just like the helicopter, or being trapped in a cage of infected, or not even knowing you you are up against, and by the time you even ******** comprehend what is going on, you will have endangered the lives of everyone around you and yourself. If you wish to even consider taking the specialization detailing Ourboros I want tangible results. Do I make myself very clear."

Lucky nodded vehemently. He didn't need to be told twice, not when he had plenty of painful (and more than a few permanent) reminders from scalped head to broken toe. If it happened again, it would be his own fault - the consequences to him and everyone else. He realized he had been holding in a breath practically the entire time Caelius was speaking and finally exhaled it all at once in a less-than-hidden sigh of relief. "Yes, sir."

However, there was something still not quite right about what Caelius said. His mind backtracked --

"But isn't that -" Maybe he was still dizzied by the impossibility of having made it through the entire conversation so far without a sign of maiming. Or maybe Caelius had been right to explain everything so slowly after all. Either way, he was having a hard time coming to terms with just one little detail. "That's a death division specialization --"

The funny thing was, he wasn't protesting it.

The Death lead didn't bother gracing the question with a reply. To him, it was a given.

"Your ability to adapt is almost commendable. I will give you clearance to pursue all investigations related to Samantha. It is up to you to decipher which one. You will be given additional portal clearance, and your watch and cellphone will be permanently targeted. That means your each and every movement will be monitored. I would use your time carefully."

He stapled something to Lucky's folder, and placed it back in proper alphabetical order. "As it currently stands, she is more useful to me than you, though there is an obvious lack of communication between us. Samantha favours you, you will take advantage of that situation and report back to me. Fortunately for you, the window for failure is marginal. "

The drawer clicked shut. "One last thing."

The silence was as much of an answer as he could have expected.

He continued to be as agreeable as he possibly could in body language alone. His mind was still reeling a bit. The tracking was a... reasonable precaution. Still a paranoid's nightmare, though. He didn't like it, but hey, if he was in trouble, they'd always know exactly where to fish him out of. He and Rep could definitely have used that in the cage. "Understood..."

As Caelius tidied up his filing system, Lucky's hands toyed nervously with the deactivated runic torch, like it was some kind of touch-based puzzle, or musical instrument played by being tapped against his ankle. His heart was still more or less in his throat. Was this really happening? It had to be, unless he was dead. And he didn't feel dead. He had become somewhat of an expert on that recently. He stared down at the souvenir in his hands trying to imagine talking to Sam after all that had just happened. "Oh, good. Marginal's a good word. I like marginal windows for that."

He was still as easily caught by surprise as ever, though. His gaze snapped back sharply.

"Huh?"

"If you ever touch anything on my desk again," said Caelius matter-of-factly, as if discussing the weather, or what a great bagel he had on his desk (which he didn't, and didn't quite understand why people kept on mailing him those), "I do not care how important or self-important your task is, I will personally see to it that you never touch anything again."

Really, a lot could be solved if Hunters just stopped touching things.

The Death lead broke eye contact. "You are dismissed."

Lucky has a pre-specialization in Ourboros. It means as he reaches full Hunter he is already cleared for specialization. In the meanwhile, he can work on picking up the pieces and adding to his specialization, sort of like acting as the specialization in everything but title!

In addition, he will find a box mailed to his room. It simply said wear this, and it really wasn't hard to figure out who it was from. There was a strange sort of almost threat dangling over his head if he didn't and someone spotted him....
