"Outer patrol shifts every... All guards are equiped with standard... There is an overhang in the south building perfect for... West exit leads to the garden that is suitable as a..."


The thrum of Upsilon from the back of her mind was muted as Agent Arizona stood in front of the Director, gaze unwavering as she delivered her mission report. She had just finished her first mission with Project Freelancer. An evaluation mission, they called it. While they did not expect her to give her report until tomorrow, she just wanted to be done with it.



Arizona stared blankly at the Director from behind her as she finished her report. The man broke his gaze away from her as he looked down to her written report for a moment; the light from the screen illuminating his features briefly.
"Thank you for your detailed report, Agent Arizona." She tilted her head in acknoledgement. "The information you've gathered will be vital for future missions against the Resistance. Upsilon, I trust, was no problem?"


She was suddenly thankful that she was still in her armor as the Director's gaze became a tad unnerving.
"Not at all, sir. He was helpful with keeping me alert and taking stock of what we saw."


"Upsilon, what of Agent Arizona's performance?"


The A.I. materialised as its humanoid form beside her head,
"As expected, Director."


"Good. You're dismissed, Agent." She saluted and relaxed from her rigid stance, ready to turn on her heel when the Director spoke again, "The other Freelancers are roaming around the ship. I would suggest meeting some of them since most of you will be working together from now on." Nodding in acknowledgement, Arizona slipped out of the room as Upsilon retreated back into its niche in the back of her mind, humming that same old code. She should translate that. The A.I. could be harping about the state of her haircut for all she knew.


A wave of amusement washed over her, coming from the fragment tucked in the back of her mind.



You can just ask. I'm not that tactless. Lovely, I didn't know it had a limit.


Not bothering to stifle a huff, she shook her head in amusement as she pulled up a map of the MOI. A few seconds later, she was walking down the halls, almost in a hurry to the locker room as she really wanted to get out of the stifling armor as Upsilon resumed its humming.



01000001 01101100 01101100 01101001 01110011 01101111 01101110 00101110 00100000 01000001 01101100 01101100 01101001 01110011 01101111 01101110


 
Nathaniel entered the Training Room as he saw N.Y. making Holo-Battles for Entertainment. Walking towards him he spoke. "Hey N.Y. mind if I use the room for a bit? I need to train my Enhancement for a slight bit. Xi was enthusiastic about being able to use the enhancement" Nathaniel said laughing for a short while as he looked at N.Y. as he looked generally upset that Nathan ruined his fun, nodding towards Nathan the Training room was filled with Metal as Nathan began to use his Enhancement. As 27 minutes passed by the room as the sound of Metal Crushing, Falling and Buckling can be heard loudly from the training room, Nathan was levitating the Metal pieces turning them into projectiles as he started lobbing them at the Training Dummies as they were Eviscerated and Lacerated to an extreme extent, another minute passed Nathan exited the room leaving a pile of destroyed metal and lacerated dummies, as he left he thanked N.Y. for letting him use the Room for a short while, as he left Xi appeared as he looked ecstatic. "That. Was. Awesome! I love this Enhancement! it makes us... Almighty!" Xi said as Nathan shook his head as they were headed to the Mess Hall. "Hey. Remember. The enhancement may be powerful but remember some of the other Agents can still beat us using theirs" Nathan said looking at Xi who looked agitated. "Yeah! well we can make them Fly and then make them die from the fall... or crush them in their armor!" Xi said with a Fiery Spirit as Nathan replied. "Hey. we're all teammates here. No bad blood an such, just a competition" He said as Xi shut up'ed as they continued walking.


(
@Dr Dovahkiin Church I apologize for Godmodding a little, I just needed t use the Training Room and I didn't really do anything too much other than stop N.Y. from entertaining himself. So please don't be mad :'( )
 
Newmex and Lambda's HoloJuan (A copy of Newmex, but a hologram) walked through the hallway and they noticed another agent, Newmex wanted to stay back but Lambda had another idea. He noticed it was Agent Arizona, the neighbor... 'This should be fun.' Newmex heard the AI's thoughts. "Lambda, no! You idiota!


"Hey dumbass! You're Arizona, possibly the worst state to be in this program! You... SUCK! And you're armor is terrible, not just the colors, but pretty much everything about it is awful!" He shouted, the HoloJuan can produce sound for some reason, it isn't clear why.


Newmex put his palms on his face, he had almost no control over Lambda's attitude but was stuck with him because they seemed to be a perfect match, the funny mexican and the humor section of Alpha. "
Lambda!!! Behave!" He was too late to say anything, the insult was out.

Interacting with: New Mexico & Lambda @TheOnlyCatbug




Arizona had been a bit too concentrated on Upsilon's humming, trying to understand how he found it comforting, when a voice caught her attention, head snapping up in attention, shoudlers tensing up as her grip on her helmet tightened.



"Uhh..." She stared at the two Newmex's, slightly gaping, eyebrows furrowing, just feeling completely and utterly lost, "I beg your pardon, sirs?"


Upsilon hummed as it slipped to the front of her mind,
New Mexico. Lambda. Humor. Holographic Projections.


With the facts presented to her, she let out a sigh of relief, shoulders slumping forward slightly as her stance relaxed.
"Agent New Mexico. Lambda." Her head tilted to the side in acknowledgement.

Lambda was heavily offended by the agent's ability to detect that it was just him and not another person.


He swung his left arm forward in the direction of Arizona. His accent changed to a stereotypical african american "Man, fuck you!" Lambda shouted as the hologram disappeared, his voice fading away on "you".


Newmex walked up to his technical neighbor. "
Sorry about that, I have no control over Lambda's attitude. Anyway, nice to see you. I think he will hate you for about a week or 2."

When one of the Newmex's swung their left arm in her direction, instincts kicked in. Arizona had jolted forward, helmet clattering to the ground as she reached for the pistols strapped to both sides of her thigh plates, only stopping when the hologram faded out.



At least your reflexes are good, offered Upsilon, spreading a sense of calm in her mind.


She awkwardly straightened up and glanced down to her helmet then to Newmex who walked up to her,
"It's all right. I'm used to being hated." Flashes of rookies lined up by their bunks momentarily appeared before Upsilon batted them away for her. She gave the senior agent an appraising glance, before she leaned down to pick up her fallen helmet, dusting it off as she stood straight, "New Mexico, huh? Neightbors, then?" A grin pulled at her lips before her eyebrows furrowed slightly in thought.


A moment passed before she prompted Upsilon, giving it a nudge.
"Upsilon, come out to meet Agent New Mexico." There were a few grumbling from the fragment before it materialised beside her head, taking form of its usual blue wisp.


Greetings, Agent New Mexico.





(Sorry about the delay, I had to get something installed on my laptop.)

He looked at the AI, taking off his helmet to reveal his face, smiling lightly. "You look cool, a blue flame for a form? Alright. Just call me Newmex, shortens my name." He looked at Arizona. "You have good reflexes, Lambda usually does that when he lets something go, but you are really good when it comes to that. I think we'll get along just fine." He walked to the locker room with helmet in hand and sat down on a bench, thinking about what he was going to do next.
 

Arizona

Arizona smiled softly when Upsilon hesitantly shifted into its humanoid form, giving Newmex a weird sort of jerk of the head that couldn't exactly be called a nod,
"Nice to meet you, Newmex..." The fragment offered before disappearing from view.


Clutching the helmet tightly in her hand, she followed the agent when she noticed he was going down the way to the lockers. Curiosity gnawed at her; the thrum of Upsilon not quite managing to push it over.



"I hope you don't mind me asking, but how is Lambda treating you? Upsilon has been bothering me a bit with his humming and constant fidgeting." She felt a mental shove from the little fragment, receiving a huff from it as well.


She moved towards the locker that had her name on it. When she opened the locker, to her surprise, some of her stuff was already in it. The staff must have placed it. Setting her helmet inside the locker, she began to remove her armor pieces, sighing in relief as the weight began to lessen.






(Hm, I have classes now, so yeah... I'll be hopefully back for lunch or something.)
 
He didn't talk the whole way through, Lambda wouldn't shut up about how much he hates Yorky and Arizona, well, Upsilon to be exact.


When he went in the locker room, he got out of his armor too and talked while doing it.


"He can be good, or bad. At night, he fills me with new ideas for funny stuff. But sometime's he can get annoying, his accent constantly changes... like a glitch, you get me senorita?" He sat down on a metal bench, tapping the space next to him.
 

Arizona

Interacting with: New Mexico @TheOnlyCatbug




Finally free from her armor, Arizona slumped forward, head leaning against the cold metal of one of the shelves in her locker. She stayed like that for a moment before she straightened up again, glancing at Newmex.
"I get it, yeah. Upsilon has faltered a few times since the implantation. Stops for a few seconds before rebooting." Her hand cupped the back of her neck, where her implants were. Sometimes they burned too when it did that.


Upsilon shifted in the back of her mind. Arizona took her hand back and walked towards Newmex, actions much more fluid now that the armor was off. She still had to get used to that.
There are training simulations for speed. Do you want me to run through them to see which one will reap the most benefits? That would great, thank you. Alright.


Tentatively taking a seat in front of Newmex, Arizona crossed her legs, slightly grimacing at the sensation of the kevlar suit.
"So, what do you guys do outside of missions aside from training and A.I. theory? I only got briefed about them."


(I'm in UTC+2 so yeah xD )

(No I understand. Yorky wasn't even training, so who cares?)


Yorky-


After Nevada took the training room, Yorky headed to the locker room to get suited back up. He walked in on Newmex and Arizona and shouted, "Iguanas in my armooooor, yoooooo!" He then proceeded to suit up.
 
Nathaniel was walking towards the Mess Hall Xi started to talk. "Hey. Nathaniel? how are you going to eat with your Helmet on?" Xi asked looking generally curious. "Ah... Yeah, I should possibly remove the Breaker Armor, Huh?" He said laughing a bit as He started walking towards the Locker room. "Also. where are the other Agents? I only saw New York" Xi asked as they were near the Locker Room. "I'm guessing they're either Sleeping, Eating or Training right about now I guess" Nathan said as he entered the Locker room seeing N.Y, N.M. and Arizona. "Or... They could be in the Locker Room" He said as he went towards his Locker as he looked at N.Y. "So N.Y. who are these two?" Nathaniel asked as he placed his Helmet in the locker as he started removing pieces of his Armor wearing some Civilian Clothing as Xi appeared. "Agent New Mexico and Lambda the "Humor" A.I. and Agent Arizona with the Fear A.I. Upsilon... It's nice to finally meet someone other than New York" Xi said smiling as it started looking at New Mexico. "Hey New Mexico, Mind if I talk to Lambda?" Xi asked as Nathan sat down on a wooden bench.





@Kibitzer
 
Yorky-


"Is everyone ignoring me?!" Yorkyshouted. "Well, I shall get their attention!" He beamed and started singing very loudly, "A,B,C,D, EFG, H..."
 
A pelican dropship slowly descended down into the hangar, touching down and lowering it's ramp.


Walking down the ramp with a sniper rifle slung over his back and a battle rifle in his hands, Alaska surveys the hangar. His armor, usually cleaned and polishedñ is covered in dirt and mud, somewhat obscuring the colors.


As he walks across the hangar towards the locker room, the pilot of the pelican quickly open the line to hangar control.


"This is pelican 338, Agent Alaska is back from assignment."
 

Arizona

Location: Locker Room


Interacting with: Nevada & Xi (@VirtualNotoriety), New Mexico (@TheOnlyCatbug), & New York (@Dr Dovahkiin Church)




Arizona sat up, attention moving from Newmex to the doors, when Agent New York entered the Locker Room, eyebrows raising at the man's exclamation. She felt Upsilon shifting in its niche, quiet humming put to a halt as he pulled up several images to convey his information.
New York. Phi. Logic. Teleportation.


"What's that about iguanas in yo-" She had begun to ask when another agent entered the room. Nevada. Xi. Defiance. Telekinesis, offered Upsilon without any prompting, before it resumed its humming, fidgeting more than usual. You okay? No. I just don't... Don't have to explain. Do you want me to pull you? NO! The sudden shout made Arizona jolt in her seat, No. Just... I'll just... Don't pull me, okay? With that, Upsilon retreated even further into her mind, creating a barrier between the two of them with his codes.


01000001 01101100 01101100 01101001 01110011 01101111 01101110 00101110 00100000 01000001 01101100 01101100 01101001 01110011 01101111 01101110 00101110 00100000 01000001 01101100 01101100 01101001 01110011 01101111 01101110 00101110 00100000


Looking up, Arizona gave both agents appraising glances,
"Agents New York and Nevada. Lovely to meet you. And you, Xi." She gave them a lazy two fingered salute as she stood up and made her way back to her locker, before Xi's question caught her curiosity. "A.I.s are... not allowed to interact with each ot-" She cut herself short when Upsilon suddenly sprung back to the front of her mind, Defiance. You forget that Xi is Defiance. "Right."


Her gaze shifted towards New York who had begun singing the alphabet song,
"Are we back in nursery then?"





(Got to love hidden messages. And man, I'm starting to like Zon and Upsilon's interactions a little too much.)

About to enter the locker room, Alaska stops short when he hears voices on the other side of the door.


"We don't need to talk to them..." Shaking his head to clear the echoing voice in his head, Alaska pulls his hand away from the door controls. Eta didn't like interacting with others, and Alaska didn't have many issues with staying away from them, he didn't much talk with them anyway.


Turning away from the door, Alaska went back down the hall, towards his bunk. Looks like he would be leaving his stuff in his room....again.

Yorky-


"No," Yorky said. "Good to see you back," He said, turning to Arizona. "Alaska should be back sometime today too." (Remember, some agents are recruits and some have been with Freelancer for a while. If your freelancer starts by returning from a mission, he/she has been with Freelancer for a while. Yorky has too.)
 
Making it halfway down the hallway towards his bunk, Alaska comes to a halt. "Eta, we should say hi, at least." Hearing the usual silence he received from Eta, he sighed, before remembering something else. "Eta, don't you remember? We can't take your ammo back to the room anymore, has to be left in the locker room." Hearing nothing for several seconds, Alaska smiles when a purple flash passes across his lenses, Eta's way of an acceptance. Eta did not trust standard issue weapons and ammo, and so insisted on modifying and "improving" anything Alaska used. Until recently, he had been allowed to keep the ammo in his room, but...


A small misfire that nearly took out the eyes of a few Freelancer cleaning staff the main cause. "It wasn't my fault..." Smiling at the comment, Alaska comes to a halt outside the locker room door. In his time serving with Freelancer, he had gotten to know Eta better. He wasn't a bad guy, really wasn't, he just did not enjoy talking to others. His personality just entailed that he did not enjoy talking with others, and preferred solitude. Alaska had been the perfect match, for while he wasn't as anti social as Eta, he didn't quite enjoy interacting with the other agents either. Thats why he was often sent on long range recon missions for long periods of time, he preferred working alone.


Hitting the pad on the side of the door, Alaska quickly entered the locker room. Looking around, he nodded briefly to the others, before turning and walking to his locker. Removing the sniper rifle from his back, he expelled the ammo clip, full with special ammo Eta himself had created. Placing them in his locker towards the back of the room, Alaska then put the rifle, also modified and enhanced by Eta, into the locker as well, before closing it.



Turning to face the room again, he removed his helmet, shaking his blond hair out. "Good to see you all again, I think."

Yorky-


"Oh, hello old chap!" Yorky said in a mock British accent. "Good to have you back, matey!"


Wyern-


Wyern strode into the locker room and sat down on one of the benches with a grunt, polishing his sword as he did.
 
Placing his helmet down on one of the benches, he grunted as he lowered himself onto the bench after it. Weeks in the field had made him sore, and he slowly rolled his shoulders as he relaxed onto the bench. Pulling a rag from one of the many compartments of his armor, he set about cleaning his armor of all the dirt and grime he had accumulated on the planet.


Looking up, he coughed before speaking. "So what have I missed while I was gone.?"
 

Arizona

Location: Locker Room


Interacting with: Wyoming (@Dr Dovahkiin Church), & Alaska (@ArisenMoon)




Arizona had been pushing herself up so she could peel off the kevlar suit when
another agent came in. Y'know when the Director said to get to know some of the agents... You didn't think you'd meet several of them at once, did you? This one is Agent Alaska. Eta. Quiet Contemplation. Active Camouflage too.


There was a moment of silence before Upsilon came back to her mind.
Oh, he does recon missions too. You'd get a long pretty easily. That's enthusiastic, coming from you. The responding huff made Arizona shake her head before she looked up at Agent Alaska, nodding at him in greeting as she gave him an appraising glance before walking back to her locker.


Making quick work of removing her kevlar suit, she swiftly threw on a pair of grey sweatpants and a white shirt with the project's logo in the middle and her designation on the right sleeve. As she neatly set her kevlar suit in place, the doors opened again, prompting Arizona to lean back to peek at the newcomer.



Upsilon was quick to respond. One would think that his minor tantrum earlier didn't happen.
Wyoming. Theta. Anger. Electric shocks. And you're an ass. By electric shocks... you mean? Exactly that. She gave the senior agent a wave before turning her attention back to her locker.


The thrum of Upsilon came back as she picked her helmet up and began calibrating the friendly heat signature settings, sitting down on the bench closest to her. Concentrated as she was with the task at hand, she missed Alaska's question.
