[I]"Very well Agent Martinez. Ruvik."[/I] Integra said before Ruvik flickered into view, standing beside the two women. [I]"Ruvik, I will be giving you my final order. Is that understood?"[/I] She said, a slight tone of relief in her tone. [b]"Yes madam Wingate."[/b] Ruvik said in his monotone manor. [I]"You are to preform the bonding ritual with Agent Maria Martinez, the one who stands before you in this office at this moment in time. You are to do this [u]before[/u] you break the bond you and I have shared for these many years. You will hold this bound with Agent Maria Martinez until she willingly transfers you to another sentient being she believes will not knowingly or unknowingly allow you to misuse your abilities. Is this understood."[/I] Integra said in a way that showed she had carefully chosen each and every word of that sentence. [b]"Yes madam Wingate."[/b] Ruvik said, his voice still monotone, before turning to Maria. [b]"The bounding is a rather unpleasant experience. Do tell me when you have prepared."[/b] Ruvik said, his expression still remaining blank. [I]"It only last a moment Agent Martinez."[/I] Integra added.
