Nihls To Meet You

"Trust is important, an operator must trust their handler implicitly and follow their instructions to the letter the operators life might depend on it."- Imperial Guard Field Manual

"The only person I trust is myself, and even then only half way, I've been known to screw myself for short term gains at the expense of long term thinking." Chronicles of Lorentino

"Just remember why we're here." Nihls was in Rolando's head, the sub dermal communication set up was top notch, but it still felt weird to Rolando. Rolando was currently sitting in front of a corporate representative who was viewing his application for corporate security. Rolando was wearing a cheap suit and was clean shaven, trying to sell the illusion of the fake corporate mercenary he was selling himself as.

"So Mr. Delorey what do you think you can bring to Morlatech?"It was to laugh for Rolando to be assigned to infiltrate the company of his fathers enemy, but in a way hurting Morley seemed like a very Lorentino think to do.

"I need work, you guys pay well." Vincent Delorey had been killed to set up this cover, he was a piece of shit according to Nihls, but Rolando felt a slight pang of guilt that a man had to die for him even if he didn't kill him himself. The executive snorted at his answer, the kind of response that didn't appreciate the bluntness to it.

"Do you even know what we do here?"

"Make money?" Rolando wanted to be a little more tactful, Nihls had assured him that nothing about Delorey was tactful. The interviewer did not like any of his answers and Rolando felt Nihls had for whatever reason purposefully lead him astray.

"Wait here." The interviewer got up and Rolando wanted to shift out of there, he didn't feel safe in the tiny office, and now that the only person in it was leaving, he felt even less safe.

"Swear to gods Nihls if you screwed me you better hope they kill me."

"A little faith, they are checking your background right now, and the genetic modification we did on you makes you indistinguishable from the real Delorey, his parents couldn't even tell the difference." Rolando didn't like the gene modding, his skin itched in a way that could never be satisfied among other issues. The interviewer returned and he had another man with him, bigger than he was and dressed in a uniform that denoted rank.

"Captain Straber, this is Delorey." Straber held out his hand and Rolando shook it. Firm and strong, Straber was doing the usual dick waving contest of trying to out muscle the other person in a hand shake. Rolando did his best to respond in kind to sell the Delorey cover.

"Welcome aboard Delorey." The man had a smile Rolando didn't like, something in it made him alarmed.

"See I told you you were freaking out about nothing." Rolando got up to follow Straber out of the room and was met by five men with rifles.

"Now Delorey tell us who you really are before we blast you into the next world."

"Fucking Nihls." It was the only thing he could think of.
