Omega's Introduction, Expanded!
With the whole mess over and dealt with, Omega could finally get out of there. However now that he joined the Agency, he’d need to interact with people. While basic psychology would suggest wariness to a stranger, that was even more so towards an assassin. Because of this he decided to take on another face. One of a new agency member, after all he thought that if he was less and assassin more an agency member they’d be easier to deal with. So after letting his copy go with the rest he would follow on full stealth after them. Changing into his other persona, that of a Magi-Tech engineer and Omega’s “handler”. Of course this would be discussed with at length with Heinz and Ascot so they could do part of the explaining to make it more plausible.
Heinz and Ascot were accompanying Omega to where the operatives and most of the staff of the Agency were gathered; on the way, Ascot spoke:
"Amazing. With that guise, only Thaz would get on your case for being a former assassin. Then again, she tends to do that; whatever her faults, she's always honest about what she sees as people's faults. Anyway, we're here." And Omega can see Thaz, Conor, Axel and Genevive among the operatives seated. Silas was also there, standing.
"So," spoke Thaz, "that's the handler for the thug you hired, Heinz? Doesn't look much to me. Can he really control the assassin?"
Omega smiled at Ascot, it was a warm genuine smile. “Honesty is a good trait for a person, at least they will be blunt about things they see wrong.” He said warmly. After nodding he continued “I have been trained after all so this is not that hard.” He nodded. Omega looked around the room and saw the agents gathered, though the question Thaz raised made him chuckle.
“Well I indeed may look not like much. But I have some of my experiences with him.” He smiled at Thaz, “My name is Lucius Dreigiau, it’s a pleasure.” He bowed to those gathered in a very formal manner. “As to answer your question, I can handle him. Why don’t you stop being antisocial Omega?” He said as he pulled up his right sleeve, revealing a virtual interface tailored into his glove. Pushing a few buttons, which was half for show and half to test a feature he built into his copies device, he shut off the cloak, revealing the Omega copy standing a few feet from Silas prepped against the wall. After appearing the copy looked as if it sighed. To which Lucius smiled. “See?”
"Amazing," spoke Thaz in a slightly sarcastic voice. "I'll admit, I don't think that you're all there, but, well, I think I'll trust you, Mr. Dreigau." Ascot, meanwhile, felt a precognitive 'ping' from his Timespace powers; the name Lucius; it was of special significance.
Lucius chuckled. “True, I don’t have that much experience, but I hope I can have your guidance so I can improve.” He smiled brightly. “And please, call me Lucius or Lu, I’m not one for that much formality.” He himself thought he might be taking this a bit overboard with the cheerfulness, but that wasn’t that much of a big deal.
Thaz raised her eyebrows, searching for any hint of a joke in Lucius' demeanor. She was always suspcious of new people, but, at the end of the day, a handler was someone she can understand. Now if only Conor the Thug had one...
Seeing as Thaz seemed to warm up a bit at least, Lu decided to at least try to get this session out of the way. He looked at Ascot then Heinz. “I thank you for the privilege of working here, I hope I can be of use.” He said in a calm cheerful tone. “If there are any questions you might have about me or Omega I’ll answer as he isn’t one for talking.” He sighed, his shoulders dropping a bit, going back to his positive self soon after. “But if not I will not take any more time, after all everyone has plans and things they have to get done.”
"Then, I think we're done," spoke Heinz kindly. "I'll show you and your ward your separate quarters." The man knew how to keep up a masquerade.
