Grayson:The Ronin Protocol

Chapter 39:OZ The Great Pt 2

At Hakanorro's Jason enters the front of the shop to see Hiro ironing a suit. Jay says Hey, I heard you were looking for a number two to help you with your project, Hiro turns off the iron and slides across the counter to hug Jason tightly before slowly letting him go. He says dude where the fuck have you been??, I've been calling you for hours the cops said that you were kidnapped by some nut job in a kabuki mask. And I really could use your help with the project I'm working on for our mutual friend, as he leads Jay back to his workshop.

Jay sees a mannequin wearing a sleek dark burgundy red & navy blue armored suit w/ gold yellow accents running up its back, arms and legs. A gold utility belt sits on its waist, and burgundy red and navy blue shoes sit on its feet, a burgundy red mask w/burgundy photographic lenses and wolf shaped ears sit atop its head. Jason said I've been busy working with our mutual friend hence the radio silence, woah you made this man? It's so shiv. What do you need me for it looks like you've got a handle on this, Hiro says I can't code for shit You can, our friend wants A.I integration with the suit and since you're one of the best coders I know I figured you could help me out.

Jason said yeah I got you hoss no biggie where's your comp?, Never mind I see it so what's the suit made of anyway? As he types on a holographic keyboard. Hiro said it's made of a Dyneema and Kevlar tri-weave it means it's bulletproof and virtually indestructible the red portions of the suit will protect him from bullets. And the blue portions of the suit will protect him from knifes and blades of standard calibers, Why do you ask?, Jay said I was just curious it looks really shiv and badass. It's a Very intimidating suit so Dyneema is a ballistic armor right?, Hiro said yeah it's more lightweight than standard body armor and more flexible than normal armor itself. Able to retain its shape without compromising the integrity of the suit,

How's the interface coming along?. Jason says I'm done just hook up the suit to your ether cable and let it sync up, Anything else you need from me hoss?, Hiro said yeah I need to know that you'll keep it a secret the suit I mean don't tell anyone about it. Jason said I won't tell a soul Hiro you've my word I've to go I've got this gig with an old family friend I'll see you at school tomorrow. At the Sanctum Jason enters the building to see Oz standing in front of his computer monitors, he says what was the big emergency meeting that couldn't wait?. Oz says you're coming with me to do Recon I've a lead I want us to follow up on, Jason says I have to talk to Silas he had my parents killed and I need to know why.

Oz says Silas is going to have to wait for right now we've a mission to complete first, I'm gonna lay down 3 simple rules you've to follow if you're going to be my apprentice. Rule number one is that the mission ALWAYS comes first no matter what, Rule number two you follow my orders to a T no matter what the order is. Rule number three is to remember that you can't save everyone no matter how hard you try. As long as you save one person that's all that matters, an honorary mention is rule number four killing is only used after you exhaust every other option is that clear?. Jason says crystal I'm not the order following type hoss but I'll try, I thought you wanted to help me solve their murder Oz, Oz says I do but the mission comes first I promise you that after we do recon you can go talk to Him about their murder now suit up.

At the black pearl A seedy brick and mortar dive bar in Astoria. Oz and Jason walk into the bar and sit at the counter, Jason impatiently says what're we doing here man, Oz says first rule of training is patience you'll get by more effectively than just charging in fist first. Justin King enters the bar walking past the two men, Jason says that's, Oz says yes it is see why we came here now watch him I'll get a bird's eye view on him. As he walks out the bar, Jason says I've got eyes on him he's not doing anything but playing air hockey.

Oz says he's here for a reason find out why, Jay said how do I get close to him without being spotted?, Oz via comm link says Improvise. Jay says copy that as he gets off the stool walking up to Justin's table. He clears his throat and says mind if I play?, as they lock eyes, Justin says sure it's a free country last time I checked grab a putter. A blue putter flies into Jason's hands, Justin said so what's a rich boy like Jason Riley doing in a seedy place like this?. As he hits a yellow puck with his putter sending it flying into Jason's goal slot, a male computer voice says red team goal score 1-0. Jason said I'm just here to blow off some steam just like everyone else as he hits the puck sending it flying into Justin's goal slot.

Justin said Nah I don't think that's it as he hits the puck sending it flying as Jason leaps over the air hockey table kicking Justin in his chest sending him smacking through a table. Oz says Jason do you understand what recon means?, Jason said not now as he dodges machine gun fire darting behind the bar counter. Justin aims his gauntlets at the bar he says I don't know how you found me but I'm certain you are not leaving here alive boy. Jason's eyes flash full of green energy as he throws a credit tray up into the air, then pulls out his multi-tool out of his pocket quickly clicking it.

It transforms into a bo-staff as the bar quickly clears out leaving just Jason and Justin inside the establishment, Justin said the hit on your grandmother wasn't personal it was just business kid. Jason says I don't care! You're gonna pay for what you've done to her as he sonically runs at Justin throwing him through 2 walls. Quickly disarming him of his machine gun gauntlets and strongly punching him in his face knocking him out cold, Oz's voice via comm link says You,Me Sanctum now!, Jason said I'll meet you there as he ensnares Justin in a bolo and grabs him sonically running him throughout the streets.
