"Sir?..." Agent I said with a concerned expression
"Are you sure you want to take on the omega unnatural on your own?" she asked her mentor, alluding to her vision in the training room and what she had seen in the library. If that thing in the shadows she'd seen in the library is the same as the omega he is about to fight, this could be his last mission. The man with the scar understood Agent I's concerns but dismissed them regardless,
"If that thing is the same as what was in Nagasaki, then it would disintegrate any other agent with just a thought..." he explained to her
"But your power level is Omega, just like the unnatural... that means you can defeat it right?" she asked him optimistically, but he just went back to preparing for the mission without responding to her question
"What happened in that vision I had of Japan that made him so uneasy about facing this unnatural?" she thought to herself as she tried to place her hand on his shoulder to try and see the rest of the vision,
"Touch me and you won't be able to hold your katana." he told her without even looking back at her, almost as if he knew her curiosity would lead to her wanting to see the vision again.
"I- I'm sorry..." she apologised, pulling her hand back.
"You should be getting ready too." he prompted her to go and prepare her gear for the mission
"Ye- Yes sir..." she said as she left the room

"You'll be sent in groups of 25 to each institute that has requested backup!" 04 explained to the agents before him,
"Should you need more backup, a senior agent will be sent out to the institute that requires their help!" he added
"But by no means whatsoever are you permitted to engage with the Omega Threat unnatural... not unless you have a death wish." he continued as he raised his hands to send the first group out
"Where will I be going?" Agent I asked her mentor, knowing full well that she would not be able to fight by his side,
"You're with me" she heard a familiar voice from within the crowd of agents
"Just like your early days" 06 added with a smile
"We're going to be dealing with the inner hoard of unnaturals before they spread out to the further states" the senior agent explained as Agent I nodded to confirm she understood her mission.
"And try not to almost die this time, yeah?" the man with the scar said to Agent I and 06 referencing her first mission in Italy. Despite his serious expression it was nice to see him still making jokes.
"Next team!" 04 yelled out prompting another group of agents to step forward, flash after flash after flash agents were sent out into the field to help the East Coast institutes with the outbreak.
"How are you feeling?" 04 asked the man with the scar with genuine concern
"My tummy is tingling but I'm a big boy so I'll be okay" he responded sarcastically with a smug look on his face before 04 sent him into the field for his mission
"I hope he wins" Agent I said to 04 and 06 as they got ready to be sent into the field
"If this is the same thing as Nagasaki..." 04 started
"...for all our sakes, we hope he does too" 06 finished the sentence before both agents were sent into the field.
