Nyx walks into our bunker. And immediately all of us stand. Nyx holds up a clipboard and reads “5275, 5249, and 5250. Report to the briefing room at 06:00 hours.”

I walk into the briefing room and 5249 and 5250 are already sitting there sifting through the folders of paper. Reading page and writing notes.

Hello, 5275, good to see you hear. Glad you could finally join us.

I’m on time sir.

No, you’re late. To be early is to be on-time. To be on time is to be late.

As I just finished discussing to 49 and 50, for your first field mission. You three are just information gatherers. Nyx says as he begins to hold us holsters. You’re not there to judge, to interact, to be anything but a quiet unmemorable observer.

Just observe. Can you do that?

Yes sir.

You are going to a donor event for [Save the Humans]. Big wig donors. Make a choice of how you plan to approach and observe them.

All three of you will be departing at the same time. Find a way to blend in. You’ll each have to create personas.

Let’s think through this together. What would make the most sense?

I don’t want to work with you. How about you just stay out of my way.

Will you at least hear my idea? This will keep you two alive.

5275, what will be your character?

Someone’s date. A hired woman.

That is not subtle at all. 5249 snickers. Are you looking to stand out and blow our cover?

You would know what I have planned if you let me explain.

5249?

A server.

5250? Donor.

Interesting choices. I’m curious how these will work together.

Pull clothing from the supplies clothing. 5250, you…

Yes, I’ll steal clothing from the staff if it isn’t all black.

HER slowly goes moves through the closet hanger by hanger. Do I really know what I’m looking for? I need to dress nice dress but not too nice.

I end up deciding on a floor length long sleeve black dress with a long v going down the back.
