Mission 30
"This can be his test. The more on a mission the merrier right?" Polly asked cheerfully. Emil nodded slowly, and reluctantly. "I'll contact the boss." He pressed the button on his earpiece, and we resumed our walk. He was whispering but I knew any agents in the vicinity could hear him. I couldn't just say we had enhanced hearing though! Finally he said, "What's your name?" "I do not have a name." Liv rolled her eyes. "Yes, but what do you go by?" III looked to me in confusion. I felt bad for III though I didn't really understand that. He was an old model, and broken. His understanding levels were lower than mine, speed, stealth, and weaponry logic, all inferior to mine. There was only one thing we had in common. We were both broken. Fitting in nowhere. Not quite human, but not the soldiers we were supposed to be either. I felt more sad waves. "III." I replied for him. "Uggg another number! What's a name with an I? I pulled up my internal computer. I was still having trouble with my functions, but I got it going eventually. "Iago, Ian, Isacc, Israel, Icarus Ib, Ibsen, Iggy, Ignatious, Igor, Ike, Ingmar, Ingo, Ingram, Iolo, Irviing Irwin, Isham, Ishamael, Isidore, Ives, Ivor, Ivo,-" "Enough already jeez, what you do, Google it before hand?" Josh asked, jokingly. "Actually-" I elbowed III. "Did you hear any you liked, III?" "No." "What about Ian, or Isacc?" Liv asked. "You should go with Ishamael, so I can call you Ish." Polly said happily. "No!" We all cried." "Let's go with Ian." I said. "Yes." III agreed immediately. "Okay Ian. That's perfect because it has three letters." Liv replied. Emil pressed the button on his earpiece again, and began to whisper. "Okay. You are going to help with this mission as a test, but afterwards you will be transferred-" "No! I-" "What?" Josh asked. "I want to be on four-" "Ivy" I corrected. "Ivy's team, because... Um..." "Oh I get it. You've worked together before, so you want to be on a team with someone you'll know." Polly speculated cheerfully. Liv stared hard at Ian for a while, and finally looked away when we got to the nursery. I dove into a bush, and everyone else followed. "We're here. Watch we need to go in right between shift changes." I hissed. "But how will we know when that-" "We'll watch, obviously." After a long time I finally whispered, "Go!" We sped through the doors, my team following close behind, as I navegated in the shadows. I reached a empty room with a large went, that was close to the ground, and used one of the gadgets to open it. Everyone filed in, and Polly closed the vent behind us. I lead them to the nursary. Okay. Here we are. I lay in wait, my face close to the vent. "What do we do when they come through this vent?" Josh asked. "We don't normally go in vents. This is so we won't be seen by other agents. Now shush." I slowed my breathing, and quieted it, so that I wouldn't be heard. I couldnt ask the same of the others, though I knew Ian was doing his best. Hopefully their hearing was even worse than his.
