Daniels signaled the man to wait for a moment and then he pulled a holopad out of his pocket.
He quickly recorded a message about a zoner ship and something about execution.
The guildmaster then straightened his suit and placed his hand on Aidan' shoulder. Milliseconds later, Aidan could feel the sheer amount of augmentation that Daniels possessed.
Both strains of nanites reacted to each other and the rest of the room got blurred, everything slowed down and silence fell upon the two men.
Just so we understand each other, Mr. Reeves, I am the chain of command. I am every single link in it. I am alpha and I am omega.
I am, if you wish, a master and a slave.
And no, they can't hear us, this is a direct line, so to say.
I came down here for a reason. You have potential. Potential I have not failed to see.
You are the future, Reeves. Do not waste your shot. It's your only one.
Someday, in the distant future, you might even take my place...but that depends solely on you.
I won't be around forever, so I'd like to have backups.
Backups like you, backups like Gabs and Scarlet. Anyhow...
Jack lifted his hand and everything went back to normal.
Dismissed, Paladin Reeves.
Debrief to Gabrielle. Or do not. It's your call.
