The man behind the mask. (Arknights x Male Reader.)

Chapter 5. Rhodes Island.

Y/N'S P.O.V

Kal'tsit's office. I place a rarely visit and I don't want to be in. She's in her office chair, writting a report of the operation. I was sitting in front of her, not wearing a mask and enjoying a cup of coffee I made. She also had one. Kal'Tsit likes my coffee.

I don't need to wear the suit around Rhodes Island if I don't want to. Although my immune system is as good as a corpse's, inside the ship I don't have a risk of dying from illness. Moreover, I'm also working on finding a way to improve my body. Wearing this suit is quite a bother.

Kal'tsit:"So, Ace is confirmed K.I.A?"

Y/N:"No. He's missing in action."

Kal'tsit:"I doubt he can face Talulah on his own."

Y/N:"Until we find a body... or his remains, we won't know. Talulah was heavily injured and poisoned. Perhaps he can flee."

Kal'tsit:"Very well. Now, there's a couple of things I want to inform you about. First, have you been informed of what Reunion truly is?"

Y/N:"I remember Exusiai said something like 'Nazis with animal features.' Other than that, no."

Kal'tsit:"I'll have a word with Miss. Exusiai later. The Reunion Movement is an organisation that looked to protect the infected from the Terran oppressors. Founded by Talulah, they grew in numbers before we could even react to them. Firstly they only acted in Ursus. In no time, their presence was seen world-wide."

Y/N:"Who's Talulah."

Kal'tsit:"We don't know anything about her."

Y/N:"Great."

Kal'tsit:"To face this problem, I've been thinking of striking a deal with the L.G.D and-"

Y/N:*Laughs* "You're going to bent the knee for those useless pricks? I don't need their help."

Kal'tsit:"What you need is to tone your ego down a little and hear me out."

Y/N:"I'll listen, even if what you're going to say won't convince me."

Kal'tsit:"The niece of the current governor, Ch'en is interested in joining us until we've defeated Reunion. With access to L.G.D's resources we could-"

Y/N:"Tell her to stay in her mobile city. I don't need L.G.D, I need you to shut the hell up and listen for a second."

Annoyed, Kal'Tsit relaxed on her chair and sighed, giving me the opportunity to talk.

Y/N:"Reunion's soldiers behaved erratically. They relay on their commanders to make decisions for them, almost like they have no survival instinct. Talulah is our real problem here. I have an idea. If we use the Originium in the sanity potions along with an enhance booster drug, we could create a toxin that-"

Kal'tsit:"Outrageous. I thought you wanted to change your ways, Y/N. You want to make a bio-chemical weapon?" *Chuckles* "Another war crime to the list, Y/N? What will it be next, taking civilian lives? Execution of hostages?"

Y/N:"Ironic, because Reunion has murdered countless innocent lives already. We're not dealing with persons, but animals. Those barbarians have used the Catastrophe to destroy an entire city."

Kal'Tsit:"So you wanna go down in history like one of them?"

Y/N:"More like a saviour. History is written by the victors."

Kal'tsit:"I refuse to start the production of weapons that cause unnecessary agony, a weapon that could harm mankind more than the Originium already does. That's why all the data about Oripathy and Originium are highly encrypted, right? So only you could take advantage of this, right? You truly are a monster, Y/N."
