"Of course you do. Considering the fact that I knew you were in here, you need some training. At least in sneaking about, shooting comes later." Damian said, still looking at the kid.

Skyler shrugged and sighed. "I can shoot just fine," he said. "It's my sneaking I need to practice."

Damian laughed, "No, kid. Not just shooting accurately with handguns, shooting quickly and accurately." He added, draining his drink and setting the cup on the table. "Putting a bullet into a person is something anyone can do. What we need is killing someone in a single shot, no fuss... well, no more fuss than the guards coming after the gunshot." He added. "Of course, we could always use a distraction."

Skyler rolled his eyes, and nodded. "True, killing someone is a different thing, a much different thing," he said drinking the last of his coffee and putting his coffee cup into the sink. He brushed back his hair smiling a little. "You don't seem like one who takes kindly to people in general," Skyler said, looking up and down him. Interesting. He liked observing his partners be it friends - which he had few if any of - or business. He could tell Damian's all business.

"Things used to be different. Fighting the machine comes at a cost, we cannot come back from the dead." Damian sighed, "I sound like an asshole but when you've seen your friends die before you and you can't do anything about it? You just can't help but think that people are just pawns and maybe the corps are right." He sighed again, "Hell, the only reason I have this apartment is because I took a chunk out of T%K Manufactorium."

Skyler sighed, and pat his shoulder. "Well . . . either way, this is the life we are given . . ." he said with a roll of the eyes. "Even if you hate it." He added.

Damian sighed, getting up and washing his mug. "Drink up and come with me, we're leaving in five." He said, walking out of the kitchen but not before turning his head and looking at the teen. "Oh, and put that cup in the sink, I'll wash it when I get back." He added.

Skyler nodded and put his cup in the sink, sighing. "So, where are we going, exactly?" he asked, noting Damian hadn't really said anything.

"You'll know when we get there." Damian said, coming back dressed in old S.W.A.T gear, a far cry from his earlier business-casual dress shirt. "Get to the balcony." He instructed, grabbing a rifle from the frame of the door, walking towards the balcony screen door. A large, cubic hovercraft floated above the balcony, the bit where a hatch would have been looked welded shut, though a glowing field stayed before the hatch. "Extraction. Now!" Damian shouted above the whirr of the teleporter charging up.
The two were then beamed into the cargo holding area of the hoverjet, the craft looking as if it was rebuilt from an old cargo transport ship. The pilots were apparently some new faces as Damian didn't recognize them. Then again, I don't think Braid would be still in the pilot business. He thought as he took a seat in the back.

(Is this a Gears of War RP?)
Skyler looked over at Damian he was wearing hardly any protection, it was his fault for both not asking for it, and not really thinking about it, but the more they fly, the more he regrets it. But he's not going to do anything about it, he just is going to hope for the best and hope he doesn't die.

(Nope. Cyberpunk 'Invisible Inc.' styled RP.) The jet docked at some high-rise building at the edge of the metropolis, nearing the slums and ghettos of the megacity. "Deployment in five. Nice to have you back, Agent Dan." One of the pilots said before beaming the two down to the roof of the building. Damian smiled and walked towards the roof access, opening the door and walking in, gesturing for Skyler to follow him. "Come on kid, welcome to Unit Lost."

Skyler nodded, running a hand against his forehead and sighing as he realized what he had gotten into. This can't be good. He thought to himself as he looked around.

Damian was greeted by a clean, medical room with only a few patrolling guards. One of them saluted him, smiling under his helmet. "Greetings, agent Dan. Nice to see you again, I suppose Control wants to speak with you?" The guard asked just as the door slammed behind Damian. "Who's that?" "Skyler, a kid who broke into my place, nearly got a shot off on me and needs a place to stay and a job." Damian replied, gesturing for his guest to follow him.

Skyler shrugged. "I have a place to stay, not a safe place, that would've fallen into my parents' house," he shook his head. "But, I do need a paying job."

"Eh, close enough." Damian shrugged, leading the kid towards the elevator, his Alpha/ARD-10 submachine gun folded up on the front of his police vest. Compared to the guards in their white, hi-tech armours, Damian looked very out of place. "Come on, let's get to the business floor." He said, holding the door open.

Skyler walked smiling faintly as he went to the elevator, he didn't have anywhere to stay in reality, but he hated asking for help with housing from anyone be it friend, partner, or stranger. "Okay."

After the doors opened, Damian and Skyler were greeted by a large room of computers, machines, servers and operators running around and typing at terminals. A lone, old woman in a smart suit stood on a raised platform in the middle of the room, looking at the massive screen on the wall. "Okay, no distractions, lads. Get in, out and back here." She commanded, watching two dots on a grid. The second Damian stepped behind her, she seemed to know who the man was. "Hello, D3mon. It's been a while." "I've lost my touch, I suppose." Damian chuckled a little, noting the screen and the dots moving pretty quickly through the maze on screen, a female robotic voice occasionally humming a tune in the background. "I see you've brought a new recruit. How did he know of us?" "I'll let Skyler speak for himself. Go on, kiddo." Damian replied, stepping back as the old lady turned around. Her face seemed to be false, a subtle hint that she was not who she was assumed to be.

Skyler looked around and sighed. "I found an urge to attempt to kill Damian," he said as he looked left and right. "But I was snapped out of it somehow and . . . now I'm here."

The lady sighed and turned back around to the screen, "Normally, we don't hire convicts. It's a cutthroat business here and we don't let anyone kill for the sake of killing." She pulled up a few files on screen of dead targets in possible suicidal poses, being the work of the Lost. "After all, I can kill you in a dozen ways without breaking a sweat and make it look like an accident." She added, her face still stone cold emotionless. "So... we hire the kid?" Damian asked, getting a slight nod from the lady. "Very well. Oh, and Control?" "Yes?" "Nice to meet you again."

Skyler sighed and crossed his arms, he stuck out like sore thumb, here he is, without any form of armor or weapons, aside from a single handgun. "So, I'm hired?" he shrugged. "Great . . ." he said.

(Your gun was totally destroyed by a bullet, tossed off a roof and is probably rusting away somewhere.) "You're hired. But if you mess up, you won't be missed." Damian said, leading the kid to the armoury to get the new agent a gun and a kit.

Skyler nodded, understanding every word. "Noted, Damian," he said with a smile of confidence, hiding a look of utter terror of being killed by these people.

Damian brought Skyler down to the training ring, a few agents slugging it out with stun guns in the arena. "Sometimes, sneaking is not an option. You gotta remember that even you can die with a single bullet." Damian mentioned, sensing a question about using armour. The two cadets were donned in L05T Recruit gear, a lighter but weaker version of what the standard Lost Troopers and Lost Gunmen wore.

Skyler nodded and chewed on his lower lip. "Stealth isn't always the best option either, sometimes, you do find it smarter to face head-on," he said almost in a mutter to himself.

A pained yell came from the arena as Damian stepped into the armoury, one of the recruits got hit by one of the stun slugs, electrocuting him and downing the cadet. The trainer called for a timeout and ran over to help the newbie up, the other cadet running over as well and shaking hands with his fellow recruit. "Well, you up for some training?" Damian asked, walking to a wall of weapons opposite a medium indoor shooting range. He donned a pair of earmuffs and looked over at Skyler. "Pick a gun and try it out. Don't worry too much about ammo, we have a replicator so we'll be fine." He added.

Skyler didn't know a lot about guns, but he grabbed one, he took hold of a sniper rifle and looked around. It was heavy, heavier than the handgun he had once held.

Damian held back a snicker, seeing Skyler begin to attempt to shoot the massive rifle without ear protection and standing up. The weapon was unloaded in the first place, thankfully, so that newbie mistakes wouldn't cause permanent damage to new cadets.

Skyler blushed as he realized he was being watched. "S-Sorry . . ." he chuckled. "Not used to that."

"No used to people watching you shoot? Or not used to being a newbie?" Damian asked, a holographic tutorial showing the proper way to fire said rifle, by laying it on the counter before firing. The holograph also possessed earmuffs, obviously for protection. Damian held a pair of earmuffs in his off hand, holding it before Skyler. "Put these on or go deaf, your choice."

Skyler shrugged both, but smiled and said nothing for a moment. "I'm not used to being a newbie, sure, and I'm not used to being watched, truth be told I haven't shot a gun since . . ." he shook his head and took the earmuffs and put them in.
