Perfected Tempest

                          Noble's POV

After dealing with the whole situation that escalated earlier I was then given a new mission. A mission to rescue a high profile individual of the nation I served. It reminded me a little of my old employer in the objective given to me.

A.N.- (Keep in mind all we know of the person who Noble 6 worked for before he joined Noble team is that they were a high ranking official in ONI. Along with that individual using Noble 6 as his person private Grim Reaper. But knowing how ONI operates from what we've scene, we can guess what he's had to do.)

Though this at least is something that I fully understand. That and the goal and reason for why I'm doing the task I've been assigned. At least this is what we Spartans were originally made to do along with killing off human resistance members that were against the UNSC.

What I'm trying to say is that this is something I've been heavily trained to do and execute. So I ask Souie if I may be permitted to lead this operation as the one with the most experience in this line of work. He did seem confused as to what I meant by that however.

Souie- "How can you have more experience in this line of work than I do? Aren't you like only 22 years old?"

I see that Souie hasn't learned how to hide his questioning nature to pry information from others very well yet. He'll learn with time.

Noble- "Indeed I'm around that age in body if you don't count the time I was kept in stasis in lord Rimuru's sub space with the others. However I'm not a normal human being either you know and I've lived longer than my looks suggest."

Souie- "Indeed. So.... How much experience do you have with this line of work?"

Noble- "A good decade and more of just this."

Souie- "Wait, then that would mean.... Is this normal where you're from?"

Noble- "No."

We both stared at each other for a while until Souie broke eye contact and didn't ask further questions. Seeming to come to his own conclusion.

Souie- "That explains a lot about you." He muttered under his breath but I still picked it up due to my augmentation. I didn't say anything however since I still wanted a question answered from him.

Noble- "Sir Souie. Your answer."

Souie- "........ I'll think about it. But I'll first need to go over the plan with lord Rimuru before we can begin the operation."

I nod my head in approval before we part ways and I go to see what other side objectives lord Rimuru may have for our mission. Going over I see both him and lady Shizu having dark looks over their faces. Looking around I see many other personnel looking scared of the faces they were making but to me, it was all too familiar. Many people especially partners I had as my time as a headhunter gave those very same looks to the covenant forces we faced. Most spartan 3 did.

I however just was always too focused on the next mission or objective to really think about it. It was. Only when I got summoned here that I had the chance to and by that point I was busy trying to protect my races as I once did before. Reminds me actually of what my original plan was before I meet lord Rimuru.

During that time period I was originally studying how the systems of the world worked so I could use them to fight against the vampires and free my people. Since they had such fast regeneration and my bullets did no damage to them I felt like I couldn't do the one thing I always had done. I felt helpless and weak especially after that asshole that summoned me threw me into a cell so he could continue his sick experiments on me. I never got his name but I did hear other vampires call him the divine ancestors.
