As the tape plays back up, Foxtrot tenses up, his breathing strained and heavy. The sound of combat is heard in the background until the music concludes. Oscar's voice speaks up again, "Oh hell yea! Record time! Alright agent stand down." Fighting still goes on in the background, Oscar's voice becoming more stern, "Agent 04, your objective is complete. Stand! Down!" An explosion erupts from the tape, a slur of obscenities coming from Lima. Oscar's voice becomes frantic, "Damn it! Lima, activate the kill switch! NOW!"
A loud whistle goes off, ceasing the hostilities on the tape. Foxtrot himself loses consciousness and falls over onto his side. Lima sighs, "What the hell happened!? He outright attacked us! That never happens!"
"It looks like he still needs more conditioning." Oscar says. "Yankee is going to be pissed. Still, the magic transfer was successful so this wasn't a complete waste."
"Are you sure sir?" Lima asks, her tone full if concern. "He's suffered enough emotional trauma; he's completely unstable. Maybe he should be taken out of the program."
Oscar's voice becomes stern, "You're input is appreciated agent but it is not your call to make. I certainly wouldn't bring that up around Yankee, unless you want him to show you what happened to Victor and Sierra." The mention of those two names perks Nivalia's ears up, the changeling rushing over to the tape. "We've had enough opposition to the program from our previous Director and we don't need anymore."
There's a pause in the tape, Lima sounding stunned at the news. "B-but why Sierra? She's not even an agent."
"Victor already leaked the information to her, she was a risk." Oscar answers. "Hell, Foxtrot and that bug would've been on that list if she told them about it. So for your well being Lima, keep this confidential." The sound of a swivel chair goes off before Oscar concludes his session. "Finish up the report, drop off Foxtrot at the point, and report back for further orders. And Lima?"
"Yes sir?" Lima asks, her voice now timid and soft.
"You're Agent 04's Handler." Oscar states. "You are responsible for his physical and emotional wellbeing. Anything out of the ordinary you are to report it. Keep your personal and professional lives separate." The sound of a door opening and closing resonates from the tape. A moment of silence passes before it ends, leaving a silence in the room.
