Calian POV

"Oh f*ck no! Pish off!" V growled as I raised both my hands in a sign of universal surrender, though it's probably looks somewhat mocking with my lips curled upwards rather than staying flat. "Come on, help me a bit here. What do you desire most in your current life. It can be anything, concrete, abstract, tell me anything you'd like to have."

I began slurring my voice in a seductive tone. Not the way you would think, my 'seductive' is more to lure her. It's not the same as the 'seductive' in which you're trying to get a woman to go out and have sexual intercourse with, it's very different. Basically, I'm like Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, spewing out utter crap to a hopeless Anakin. But of course, I'm not talking junk, I'm talking truth, gold, platinum, diamond.

"I want a safe but exciting life with my lover," I see an emphasis in safe right there, yes, she wants to live and not just her, her partner as well. That might be a suitable weak point, one I'm not going to exploit just yet. "Okay, tell me more," I continued with soothing words like a psychological therapist but what makes a psychologist and myself different, well, a psychologist is generally crazier than a psychopath, just putting it out there.

"I want to die of old age together with my lover, maybe adopt some kids, I want to live comfortably," looks like she loves that lover of hers so, so much, I could use that to my manipulation as well. I mean, after all, no one can keep a family safer than a God. "Excellent, you want a lot in life, like everyone else out there."

"But, what you have is a bright chance. An opportunity to really get what you want, a third road in the fork that only you could see and walk. You'll get the safe you wish, you'll the age you desire and you'll get those cute kids you're hoping to get, and the adventure along with it," I put a lot of persuasive attacks in that one.

"And how exactly are you going to guarantee myself all that, huh?" That's a challenging node, and wat best to beat a challenge than to outright swerve past it while maintaining the stance of getting involved in it. "I don't have to guarantee you, the organization will and you think we're doing all this work for to chase an aimless goose?"

"We're doing this because we were told to do with clear consequences and recompenses. We've discovered what led to all this mess, it's someone on the moon, doing all the dirty work while hiding in the dark together with a completely disguised project, fooling all the humans in this world, all together."

"So, let me say this one more time. In the end, it's not about who's who and what's what, it's about us, it's about you, and it's about the world. We get what we wanted, to complete this mission. You get what you wanted, a perfect life. And the world gets what it wanted, to be rid of the cancer that's slowly brimming to completion."

"Are you with us, or are you not."

Crynn POV

"So, in the end, are we going to free our 'prisoners' or are we not going to do that?" I questioned Jill as she's busy with observation on the remaining files that we haven't seen just yet. Mostly schematics, blueprints, yada yada yada. "Of course we are, who do you think we are? A bunch of savages? I'm going to set a time where every single door in this submarine minus external doors, will open."

"The time set, will be after we have already boarded our flight, so don't worry about them, they'll be fine, maybe a bit malnourished but who cares, that's the consequences of battle on the losing team," couldn't disagree with that. "Do you think Calian will be triumphant with his charms in tempting V back."

"Don't get me wrong, he's a very attractive man but maybe I'm more suited for the job," and Aria guffawed loudly at the end, clearly thinking of the hilarity behind her spoken words. It made me remember too always knock on one's doors before entering. Even if that door is a communication device connected to the room of the contact.

Amidst Ariane's laughter, the huge bridge gate opened, revealing Calian to be standing alone. "Failure?" I probed with one of my eyes enlarged and my brows forwarded. "Maybe it takes a girl to hook another girl," Aria couldn't hold the giggle from escaping her lips, soon turning into big cackles.

It is funny if you really think about it. "Maybe you're more fit attracting men, Calian?" This time, I'm the one to make that sudden comment that somehow crept its way into my lips and ended up cracking up even harder than Aria! "Ahem, Ahem, maybe you should be more careful with the subject of your tongues next time."

That voice, V! "Oh, V! We've been waiting for you since ages! It's good to have you back and even more wonderful to think that we made the right choice depending on the handsome fella, Calian for getting you right back to your feet on the right team!" Wow, never thought Aria could be that shameless.

Is she a celebrity? Well, with looks like her and the archery prodigy in her, she might as well be one. God knows how shameless celebrities are, and thieves, I pride having no shame. I did not even show an ounce of outward surprise seeing V sauntered in and neither does Aria as she moved with her ass-licking responses.

"Now that we're done and our team is assembled once more, it's time to look towards a new horizon. We've got half a day ahead of us and about ehm... 3 hours before we move. Let's not start offending each other, hmm?" Oh yes sir, Jill, definitely, that smile, devilish. "Aside from that. Come on, let's take the remaining time as rest, we're going to space for God's sake."

That, I will do
