“Wow… The moon is so pretty… It’s a shame how rarely one gets to see it.”
“...”
“Yup yup. Definitely prettier than a dark sky.” She said as she relaxingly leaned backwards against the window behind her.
...She does realize we are on a cleaning scaffold 27 floors up, right?...
“You really should talk more ya know? The cool and quiet suits you. But women need some warmth too you know?”
...Annoying
“We have a job to do.”
“Yea yea.”
Just after I had said that, we got our go-ahead, the cameras are down.
‘Engage.’
Quickly lowering the scaffold one floor, we break through the window.
I shoot the two guards rushing towards me in the head as we rush forward. Passing their corpses by before they even touch the floor.
Hostile from adjacent singular bathroom, opens door on the right. I slam the door shut with his arm still in between the door, shooting 3 bullets through the door.
‘Moving onwards.’
Hostiles down the hall. Phosphorus incendiary grenade applied.
*BANG* I move at the same moment as the grenade detonates. Shooting 2 bullet at each approximated spot of enemy unit that I saw just before the explosion.
Passing through, I shoot any survivors.
In a room down the hall. No guard visible in the room, but there should be one based on intel. I shoot the guard hiding behind the door 3 times.
Target is chained to the table.
“We are in. Extract the information.”
This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.
*Sigh* “This is why you are a Tin-head. As soon as there is combat you turn into a total machine~… I am on it. Lock the floor down.”
“Understood.” I leave the room and head to the staircase. Rolling down a bunch of proximity mines. They arm and stick to their surface and take point in a spot able to see both the elevator and the staircase.
*7 Minutes later.*
“We are done, the Redwood case is buried. Sheesh, that was messy” Lily says as she wipes her hands clean from the blood.
‘Extract’
We take clothes from some dead enemies and dress the enemies in our clothes. After faking their death, I proceed to knock Lily out and shoot myself in the shoulder and ribcage.
“This is detec- *cough* detective Reynolds.*cough cough* Hostiles are down. I repeat hostiles are down.” I use the radio.
…
...We extract from the police station by ambulance and pre-existing cover story.

And so, another day came.
… Lately my dreams have truly been better… maybe the head trauma rattled something.
“Nah, you are just glad to see me. That's all!”
...Nope.
After the meal. It was time to finally repair Alicia.
The trip to the Pharmatics Group building was mostly uneventful, we did see Lìca standing in an alley near our residential building, but she disappeared before we could go talk to her.
After waiting for a while, it was soon time for Alicia’s surgery. The doctors said it would take at least 4 hours for Alicia to wake up. So I took the time to go see my new engineer, get him started on the necessities. Etc.
*Pov: Tommy Hicks*
Shit. I am late.
I had once again forgot the flow of time and now I am an hour late. On the first day on the job no less!
!!
As I was about to leave the house with a “bye mom!” and had opened the door. I was greeted by the face of the beast.
“You are late.”
Ah shit shit shit! I pissed off the beast. Worse yet she knows where my family lives!
“I am sorry! It won’t happen again. I promi-ow.!” I immediately said as I pulled a 90 degree bow then and there, and slammed my head to hers… she was standing on the lowest step of the stairs after all… I stopped rubbing my hurt head and looked at her eyes...
Oh god… I am so dead… sorry papa, mama…
"*sigh*...Let's go."
Eh?
*Pov:Rasmus*
… I knew he was the antithesis of punctuality… But to think he is a clutz as well…
“Well, it is kind of cute~”
….
After introducing Tom to his new job, mainly maintenance and repairs of Fea and the Drone. (Drone was recollected by the Commission Hub, and was reclaimed in exchange for proof of earlier ownership. ((Hangar logs))
He seemed really pale through the whole ordeal, but greatly promised and begged about how he would definitely do good work.
“I know right. Whats with the tears and all the melodrama?? It totally ruined any semblance of cuteness he had. *sigh*”
After I had made sure he could do the job. I had him sign a working contract. And so, I now have a new mechanic.
...He also promised to work on minimal wage like Lee, I wonder if it some kind of pride thing with mechanics these days?
Oh, if you are wondering how the pay works. The mechanic’s wage is included in my usual repair costs.
After that was done. I went to have a meal before I would go see Alicia at the Pharmatics Group, and ran into Tolstoj.
We chatted a little. Not much seems to have changed in the last few days. They are still itching to get back to action, and so forth.
Oh, and Kane had died. Apparently the leg surgery went wrong.
...Really? Survives the hell and dies in the hands of the people he went into the hell to protect. Fate loves dark humor.
..I would have expected samuel to die during his eye surgery but really, Kane?
You died from leg SURGERY?
...After it was TORN OFF in combat...You die from careful surgical procedure?
...Sigh… People these days… No sense of style. Learn to die properly.
“...You know… Sometimes I don't know if we live in the same world.”
We don't. You are dead.
“...Oh! That's true! ^.^”
