Sub-objective: Make it look like one of his guards killed him.

Location: Delamore Villa.

Intel: A mass of 15 guards patrolling the perimeter have been confirmed. As well as cameras scattered around choke points.

(Before Field Test is Assigned)

Maxim, after the many hours of training with Sun, from Basic sniping to what little stealth he knows, to understanding their surroundings, everything he can cram within their 8-9 hours of training.

"Sir,...

She was quickly interrupted by Maxim.

"Please Sun, call me Maxim. I'm in no position to be a sir by any sense of the word. Hell, calling me a dog of war is more accurate."

"Ok. Maxim, will all of our training be this intensive?"

"Yes and no. It all depends on the day. Any day far from any known Op, probably not. But, right before an Op, most definitely. But, don't worry. We will have plenty of off time."

"Ok si... I mean Maxim, How often will we train like this?"

"Every other day before an Op and every 3 days any other time."

Maxim was admiring Sun's handy work. She had learned everything he could cram. She got attuned to her rifle, a Petra 300, very quickly, she learned what he knows about stealth, which is really just being quiet and stabbing people, a little CQC, Basic map knowledge, the whole 9 yards...including a little deception.

"OK. That should do training for today. For now, why don't we go out and about and get you some Casual Attire."

"Casual...Attire?"

Sun was confused because she didn't understand the reason for that.

"Simple. You would draw suspicious if you just walked around with that DragonSkin on."

"Oh. You know, that makes a lot more sense...wait! But then, I won't have any armor on if something happens or if we..."

Maxim started to chuckle a little bit.

She's adorable when she gets flustered

"Don't worry about that Sun. The clothes will go on top of your suit. That way, you can keep it on and if anything happens."

Sun's face suddenly lit up from excitement.

"Then I'll be ready! (a sigh of relief) That's good. This suit makes me feel safe. Wait, what about you Maxim?"

Maxim then realized what she said.

Shit! She's got a point. I don't have all that much to protect me. Well, better not worry her.

"Don't worry Sun. My body armor is all I'll I need...along with this handy metal arm. Even then, I'm build like a tank, I'll be fine."

"But, Tanks are made of all metal and engines and..."

Maxim busted up laughing.

Jesus Christ! This girl is fucking awesome. I guess I was wrong about the whole babysitting thing.

"WHAT'S SO FUNNY?!"

She was a little frustrated and, again, confused on his laughter.

"hahaha....oh. It's nothing."

Maxim was still chuckling.

"Come on Sun, let's go get some casual clothes for you."

She was still frustrated that he didn't answer.

"But, what was so funny? I wanna know."

Now she was straight up begging.

"Don't worry. I'll explain it on our way to get you something causal."

After a while, Sun liked the idea of wearing Basic Combat boots, which looked like normal boots, Blue jeans, a black tank top, and a red flannel, which she decided not to button up. Along with that, she wanted to get her hair dyed blue because it is her favorite color, While they were also out and about, they picked up an electric guitar case for Sun.

"Maxim, why do we need a guitar case? I don't play guitar."

"It makes it easier to carry around your rifle without looking weird for carrying around a weapon of pure awesomeness and power."

That last bit made Sun laugh. But, that only confused Maxim more.

Again, I thought that their emotions were limited. I guess, again, I was wrong. I have a feeling that I'm going to tell myself that a lot with this girl.

"Well then, I guess it's time to head back to base and get all of your stuff set up for our upcoming test. I'll let you know all the info before the test that I know and we'll make a plan."

So, Sun and Maxim made their way "home", or as something as "home" as they had. They set up Sun's Case for her rifle and, surprisingly, it also fit her Mac 10, if she didn't want to carry it. Then, Sun asked Maxim something.

"Maxim, how do you carry your guns?"

Maxim was eager to reply.

"Well, similar to you, I hold my rifle in an acoustic guitar case for two reasons. One, I actually play Guitar and I had a case. And two, I can't take apart my gun like you can. So, I needing a bigger case. As for my Pistol, I have a shoulder holster. So, I always carry it here."

He lifted up his left arm and patted under his arm pit. You could here the sound of two metal pieces clacking, only being muffled by his coat. Sun had kinda forgotten about his arm because he wore gloves. Black leather gloves.

"Well, it's getting late Sun. It's time to go to sleep. Well, that depends, I assume you still sleep right?"

Sun chuckled.

"Of course silly. Why wouldn't I sleep?"

"I don't know. I thought all the augmentations included not needing sleep or something."

There was silence....then....Sun spoke.

"Maxim, where am I sleeping?"

Maxim thought for a moment.

"You'll sleep in my bed for now till I can get you a second one in here."

"But then, where will you sleep?"

"I'll find a place to sleep, don't worry about me."

"OK....Hey Maxim, you said you play guitar right?"

"Yeah Sun, I do. Why do you ask?"

"Well, it's just that...I was wondering if you could sing me a song to sleep. I've never had that happen to me and I was thinking that It'd be nice."

"Sure. Why not. any particular song?"

"I don't care. just don't make it super loud."

"OK. I've got something."

Maxim tucked Sun into bed and he grabbed a chair and his guitar. He sat next to the bed, checked it's tuning, and starting playing.

"This is a very old song. It's called Remember Everything."

And so, Maxim started to sing and play, making sure not to be too loud.

♫ Oh, dear mother, I love you. I'm sorry, I wasn't good enough...♫
♫...If I could hold back the rain. Would you numb the pain. 'Cause I remember everything...♫
♫...Oh, dear brother, just don't hate me. For never standing by you or being by your side...♫
♫...It's a long and lonely road. When you know you walk alone...♫
♫..If we could start again. Would that change the end. We remember everything. Everything ♫
And just like that, Sun had fallen fast asleep. So, Maxim balled up his coat, laid down on the floor, and fell asleep. Just before he fell asleep, he thought of something.

There's no way they'll give me another good bed. they'll probably just give me a cot. I guess I'll sleep on the cot.

Then, Maxim fell asleep.

Ivan received a mission dossier.

Objective: Infiltration, Elimination, retrieval.

Target/s: secure the Drug Stash, eliminate the dealers.

Location: Slums apartment building.

Intel: No Intel available for this mission.

For Maxim and Sun, It was a new day. Maxim had woken up early to go get food for the both of them. While he was out, he got a notification on his PDA.

Field Test
Objective: find and eliminate the target within the villa.
Sub-objective: Make it look like one of his guards killed him.

Location: Delamore Villa.

Intel: A mass of 15 guards patrolling the perimeter have been confirmed. As well as cameras scattered around choke points.

He returned into his room to find Sun awake. Her hair was a mess and she still looked tired.

"Good Morning Sun. Did you sleep well?"

Sun let out a big yawn before answering.

Why yes Maxim, I did. How did you sleep? And where did you sleep?"

"Well, I slept OK. I ended up sleeping on the floor. It actually wasn't..."

He was interrupted by Sun.

"Maxim! Why would you do that?! You need good sleep far more than I do."

"I'll be fine. I'm going to get a second bed before we end today. Speaking of which, We have our field test today. So, let's get ready to go."

"What are we looking at Maxim?"

Sun sounded like she changed attitudes. She went from being cheerful to very serious. Almost like a full grown, battle hardened soldier.

"Well, It's an assassination mission so....there's that. It's something that neither of us really want to but, we have to. Just think of it this way, they're bad people that need to be punished for their actions. That's what I do. It helps eve my nerves when I'm out on mission."

Sun suddenly changed back to her old attitude of cheer.

"OK...yeah. That helps."

Maxim grinned. Then, he went back to the PDA.

"It says that the target is in a Villa, a really big house. It seems that the guy has a good sided security force. 15 on the outside at least. All the glass is bulletproof so there is no way of sniping in and making this quick. Along with all of that, there is a sub-objective. Make it look like one of the guards shot him."

Sun, again, went serious

"How do we plan to do that Maxim?"

"I'm not quiet sure Sun. Maybe knock out his nearest guards, steal one of the guards guns, and shoot our target, the second guard, and the guard that we took the gun from with said gun. make it look like a double murder, suicide. As if we were never there. But, that means that we will have to get through undetected without killing anyone with our guns. They most likely don't match the caliber of the guards."

"OK. what about the Security Grid? They'll most likely have cameras everywhere."

Maxim noticed the change of character in Sun. She had become more serious and used more technical terms.

"Good point. Let's make a list of what we will need for this Op."

Maxim got out pen and paper, which is almost never used anymore, and started writing. By the time they were done, this is what their list looked like.

Requested Items

* EMP grenades (probably 1 or 2 per person)
* Sub Sonic ammo (for Maxim's Revolver, Sun's Mac 10, Maxim's VC-32, and Sun's Petra 300)
* Basic Surveillance drone (one able to get a bird's eye view of the location without being detected)
* Flashbangs (same story as EMPs)

Maxim brought up this list to the armory and waited for their response to his Request.
