193 Info

Valentina hit Leo over the head.

"If you'd actually let me finish, if you properly listened then you would've noticed I said OVERSEE. I won't be participating directly, I will just be watching from a distance since there is also something that I personally wish to achieve."

Leo rubbed over his head as he responded.

"Either way I'm still not exactly up for it, we'll still be close to a foundation site and there is still a good chance we get found out."

"Which is why I want you to tag along, Leo. In case our makeshift command center gets infiltrated I'd rather have you protect me than some other insurgency operative, besides, this is quite literally your job."

Leo sighed.

In his opinion, it was way too soon to take such a risk again, it had barely been a month since he escaped containment and now he would already be continuing his offence against the foundation.

"How important is the item you're looking for?" asked Leo.

"It isn't exactly crucial, but if I get what I want it would be a massive win for the insurgency, both in a normal way and in an intelligence way."

Leo was in thought for a while before speaking his mind.

"Listen, Valentina. Personally I am strongly against the entire idea of already going back into foundation territory, however, since you are so adamant about it I assume you have a good reason for it. I'm fine with tagging along, but on a handful of conditions. First of all, if at any point during the mission I feel uncomfortable, I am free to take my leave, whether you come with me or not. The second condition would be that the command centre needs to be a proper distance away from the actual site or facility itself. Last up, the moment I get spotted by someone, we take our leave."

Valentina sighed.

"Well, if there is no other way then so be it. Let's go over the details, shall we?"

Leo nodded and Valentina continued.

"We are visiting a medium security site codenamed Necron, the site houses a lot of top notch researchers due to the site mostly containing mechanical and robotic anomalies, alongside all of that they have a massive class disposable detainment center, which is the main reason why the insurgency is striking it. We're looking to sting the site hard and fast, getting down to the detainment center as quickly as possible and bringing as many class-D's with us as we can."

"And what is the item you're looking for, Valentina?"

Valentina continued.

"I personally am looking for an anomaly known as "NGO", more specifically remote android NGO. Some intelligence sources within the site have recently informed me that it was deactivated after obtaining a good amount of foundation secrets, so it was seen as too dangerous to study since the foundation was afraid of the secrets getting out. They're preparing it for transit sometime soon, besides it containing a good amount of intelligence the android also has a good amount of other functions."

"So it is similar to Alyona..." thought Leo.

Valentina continued once again.

"I have a small strike team of my personal insurgents ready to strike the transfer bay once we start the mission, their job is to get the android and to get out as quickly as possible. It should be relatively easy since the transfer bay won't be heavily guarded once the main sting on the site starts, they will be relocating the majority of combative personnel over to the detainment centre. In the meantime, the strike team will quickly move in to grab the android in the transfer bay, after that they will quickly take their leave and rendezvous with me at a later time point."

"And when exactly will this mission be held?" asked Leo.

"We are still working out the exact timetable, but we expect it to be sometime next week. I'll hit you up with the exact details once they're known, but our preparations will be starting very soon since we have quite a lot to set up."

Leo sighed.

"Can't believe I'm doing this shit again so soon."

"No worries Leo, I've done this more times than I can count, I can assure you nothing will go wrong... Most likely."
