Babysitting Job

What kind of bullshit mission was this?! Jack stared at the "fishes" before him, his face twitching. 

His new task was to escort a bunch of inexperienced weak aquatic humanoid NPCs straight into enemy land to fight. He could already feel the headache coming: 

1. Goddamn escort mission! 

2. He'd be monitored via magic… 

3. High kill requirements to boot! 

4. Oh, and the system had truly screwed him over!  The AI had also joined in bullying him. 

  [Language Now Changed!] 

  [All communications Temporarily Altered!] 

  [Communicating With "Players" = Penalties Applied!] 

This sounded easy to bypass but wasn't. Even if he talked to his people IRL, any suspicious move by them would most likely alert the system. 

Was this retribution for all the work he had given the AI lately? This was akin to throwing him into a tumultuous sea, an anchor attached to his foot.
