If anyone asks, I made you stay.

I've had success thus far with the party lines of "But my knees" and "I'm looking forward to the peace and quiet" but I'll keep this for anyone particularly persistent, thank you.

dom/ishaan

[humanityresource]

You're welcome.

I'm not the bad guy.

dom/ishaan

[loculus]

What do you mean?

dom/ishaan

[humanityresource]

I know that you'd rather be in the field. If it were up to me, that's exactly where you'd be.

dom/ishaan

[loculus]

In this context I'm well aware that I'm the bad guy. While I want to be in the field, [...] Bishop wasn't wrong to pull me.

dom/ishaan

[humanityresource]

Wanting to do what you are best at is hardly "bad guy" material.

I hope you'll learn how important directing Recruitment is. When Undercover can't be reached, either for for safety or strategic reasons, it lands do us. [...] I sent you a number of directives myself. Before we met.

What makes me the bad guy is lying to Bishop for nearly twenty years, ultimately denying myself what I want most. Not to be Nov melodramatic but this is a cage of my own making. I knew the stakes.

Did you.

dom/ishaan

[humanityresource]

Maybe, but I'm not Bishop and what's done is done. You're here now and I'm not going to waste it.

Of course. You were one of our best agents. Taryn personally trained both of us, after all. You recruited a lot of good people, and I hope that you can see that what we do up here is also worthwhile.

dom/ishaan

[loculus]

[...] I would appreciate that. I don't believe I'd fare well in a pasture.

"Were I simply need time to adjust to a [...] new life.

dom/ishaan

[humanityresource]

It would be stupid to retire someone like you.

[...] While I'm on the ground, you'll be managing a lot of information and emergency calls. You have to keep us informed of changing events. When Undercover is inaccessible or can't reveal themselves, Recruitment is the next best thing.

dom/ishaan

[loculus]

[...] Ishaan, may I say something with utmost respect?

dom/ishaan

[humanityresource]

Please, go ahead.

dom/ishaan

[loculus]

I cut my teeth in Undercover for three years and then I transferred to Recruitment for the following 15. You don't need to explain how our department works.

dom/ishaan

[humanityresource]

Hah!

I adore your confidence. This is why I'm not worried about leaving you in charge. I know I'm younger than you, but likewise, please don't underestimate me.

dom/ishaan

[loculus]

I don't plan to.

dom/ishaan

[humanityresource]

Then we'll be just fine.

Undercover won't reach out to you even with your history, so you'll have to treat Recruitment similarly. [...] And please try to get them to safety if possible.

dom/ishaan

[loculus]

That will be my priority.

dom/ishaan

[humanityresource]

I had a good feeling about you.
