THE DRAGON'S HOARDE. ACCEPTING. " please, don't let them know i'm here. "

@rab2bit.

the sniper surveys the scene with her visor's aid, remnants of mekas strung like scrap metal amidst the rubble. this is not all the work of talon, for the signature stamp of the gwishin omnics is pressed into every corner of this land. fear strikes the citizens into a panic, their cries faintly heard in the distance as they flee. yet her infra - sight picks up a heat signature all the same, leaving her to wonder — is this straggler brave, stupid, or simply too injured to move ? leaving no stone unturned, she finds the girl and heeds her plea. widowmaker is one of few words, not immediate to respond as she gleans what information she can from the sight. suited, meka logo faded and torn but nonetheless present on her thigh. for a brief moment, her mouth upturns subtly : that colour is absolutely garish. but more serious matters than fashion prevail, seeking her visor's database for guidance as the mission objective rings clear in her mind.

CONFIDENTIAL | TALON OPERATIVE EYES ONLY LOCATION : SOUTH KOREA OBJECTIVE : ELIMINATE ███████, A HIGH-PROFILE INDIVIDUAL SUSPECTED OF ORCHESTRATING █████ █████████. COLLATERAL DAMAGE IS OF NO CONCERN BUT MAINTAIN ABSOLUTE DISCRETION. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES : (1) RETRIEVE ANY CRITICAL INTEL FROM TARGET [HARD DRIVE, DOCUMENTS, ETC.] (2) NEUTRALISE ANY SIGNIFICANT SECURITY THREATS DIRECTLY HINDERING THE MISSION. (3) LEAVE NO TRACES THAT LINKS THE MISSION TO TALON.

she pauses for a moment here to once again assess the girl, not necessarily deeming her a threat now that the mission objective has been reached. nor is the assassin directly linked to talon from visuals alone, perhaps aiding the notion that she is affiliated to the gwishin omnics themselves. her revision continues. there may be use of this yet.

ENVIRONMENT : HEAVILY GUARDED SKYSCRAPER. EXPECT A MIX OF HIGH-TECH SURVEILLANCE AND PHYSICAL SECURITY PATROLS. POTENTIAL MEKA AND/OR GWISHIN INTERFERENCE TO BE EXPECTED. OPERATIONAL RULES: (1) DO NOT ENGAGE NON-COMBATANTS. (2) IF CAPTURED, DESTROY ALL MISSION-SENSITIVE EQUIPMENT AND PERSONNEL IMMEDIATELY. SELF-DESTRUCTION SHOULD NOT BE RULED OUT.

a brief intermission to herself, permitting a laugh. self - destruction, as if she were not a person but an object. perhaps there is truth to such an implication. she has read enough. determining the girl as a non-combatant, engagement is not an option. walking away without a word, she asserts that if the omnics want the meka pilot badly enough, she will be found regardless of her involvement or lack thereof. lacroix may not know her name but she predicts this will be the first and last time she encounters hana song. she could not have been more wrong.
