Live, Die, Repeat - In Fur

Chapter 8

In a room within the base...A meeting was being held concerning a very specific human.

"Major Chloe? Ma'am?"  One of the furs in the room asked

"I know this may be a bad Idea, but what else can we do with him." Chloe responded, the room still silent

When they first found Tracer, they knew something was wrong from the very start. Only when they were in the same room did they realize the power gap. Compared to them, he was like a god amongst mortals. This wasn't like any other 'capture and convert POW' kind of thing. No, if they handled this as if he was an ordinary person...

"And if it kills James?" Another fur, this time older with a more gruff voice questioned.

The anthro got a hard stare from Chopper.

"-erm him, sorry him" The anthro corrected

'Is he even a person at this point?' A thought from the back of Chloe's head appeared

She pondered for a minute before speaking again

"...Tell me, Chopper, what did you see in his eyes?" She asked

There was a dramatic pause as the air became thick. Despite the heaters in the room working it still felt cold. A little too cold.

"...A dead man walking..." He responded, not taking his eyes off the book that was in the middle of the table.

So far it had been passed around for eye witness accounts, only did most of them read it did they believe Chopper. There were different reactions, anger, sadness, pure dread. One guy read more than they warned him too, thought that this was a load of bullshit, just another crazed human. 

An unfortunate soul it seems...

"As much as I don't like trusting a human, what else can we do? If he gets captured by the humans...all hell will break loose." He explained

"And that 'Exo suit' he spoke about. Is it related to the appearance of the crates we found?" said an anthro.

"It is possible, the kit that he came with matches with the design on the crates and none from the humans here. But we must get him to trust us before we tell him about it. Who knows whats in them...could be WMDs."

Multiple grunts and nods of agreement were heard and seen. 

"I know, that everyone here doesn't want to bow their heads to a human but if we can get him to side with us, it would be a huge help. The possibilities are endless but only if we do the right thing is that clear?" 

A few anthros in the room scowled at the thought of a human joining their ranks but were silenced from Chopper's gaze.

"Yes Sir." They said in unison

He nodded before dismissing everyone and continuing to sort some reports and documents.

Later...

"I think it looks good on you, don't you think?" James told me

I inspected the outfit James gave me for the recon mission, It wasn't much, just a normal forest Camo suit with a simple combat vest and matching pants. Unfortunately no powered kit... It was somehow combined with my original outfit and actually looked pretty good. A helmet was provided naturally but I chose not to wear it now. It wasn't as advanced as the normal combat wear the US would issue me but it will do for now.

There was an empty patch on my left and right shoulder where my flag would've gone but was now replaced with the U.A.A insignia. A paw print, 4 stars on each side, and a combat knife in the middle with the words U.A.A under it. 'Strange, didn't I have sand camo when I was in the desert?' A thought bounced in my head, which I questioned for a second but shrugged it off.
