Andrea was sitting in her room of rented living quarters on Barrier's Gate. She was looking calm, even cheerful at some rate. She wasn't wearing a uniform, now preferring a civilian outfit, which held some symbolism to that she was about to record.
"I haven't done this in a while, huh. When was the last time? Couple of years ago, even before the Order? Yes, this sounds about right. So here starts a somewhat new page. Got to start somewhere, right?"
The agent chuckled, giving a short glance downward. Andrea lit up a cig-stick, made a short drag and soon was looking back into the camera, continuing her speech:
"So it's about a couple of days since she made this offer. In all honesty, I did hesitate before agreeing, yet.. Even if that means stepping away from this rate of involvement, the offer's too good, considering the past events. Besides, they will need someone who's aware of things, someone who can fight if needed. Sooner or later someone would have been sent to observe and... I'd prefer it to be me. It'll be better. For them, for her, for me and, in the end, the Order. I even wrote a request for a change of field to work in. I'm sure it'll go well..."
The Gallian sighed, took another drag, slowly letting out smoke and closing her eyes. Mements after she spoke again.
"Speaking of them. This endeavour is bold not to say the least. A lot of people will be needed, as well as even more resources. But she said we'll manage. I'll just be there to look into these people and help out with work we can get. We'll need to make a name for ourselves and a hefty sum after all. And speaking of name..."
Her expression turned grim for a second. Grim and thoughtful of a mentioned situation. Clearly, it overlapped with rather unfortunate, even traumatising events of the past, yet in a span of last couple of months it certainly was remembered... In a better light.
"I'll need to do it myself. With a proper backstory, which preferrably could be proven by someone around. Though, becoming someone from the Houses can be tricky. And being this someone too, Interspace definitely can do without spying on me going around and doing things with their attention on lanes and gates. However... This is a problem of Sirians, right? Sure, Hackers could help, but I'd prefer doing it without much noise somewhere where I'll be frequent at, as well as get this as less shady as possible. Even if the opposite is an easier option."
She took a moment, focusing on smoking and consideration. There were not that much options, yet there were few. After a short pause and tapping a cig-stick into an ashtray, Andrea continued in a slightly more enthusiastic tone:
"I guess it's time to somewhat remember the roots. Even though I'm dead on papers, that's for the Union. And there are places that are legal and not caring enough to help me out with this issue. Besides, killing two birds with one stone, making contact with Marseilles will come in handy both for me and the Order at some point. The only thing... I'll need to think of what I can give back for it. I wonder if I'll get to pick the name. My, wouldn't that be tricky."
The agent reached out for the console's keyboard to stop the recording.
