Top Secret

The Beginning

"The moment this door closes everything that is said will be considered top secret and is not to be repeated outside this room." The man stepping into the room was looking about fifty with a stern and serious expression on his face. The six people in the room looked at him quietly not wanting to interrupt him. They were all between nineteen and thirty, some were more experienced with situations like this while others faced this for the first time. With a determined click the door closed and one of the few people that came in with the man quickly set up the laptop so they could start the briefing.

Chan sighed quietly as he tried to follow what the Chief was saying but most of it had no meaning to him since it was his first time ever taking part in a meeting like this. He just had his graduation ceremony a few weeks back and already he was part of the working force in a job like this. At first, he didn't even know why he was here. When those man in black suites had picked him up from home telling him he would have to come with them it really was just confusing. But after listening in on the briefing on terrorism he suddenly found himself understanding why he was here and what was going on. This was about 'Guns Of Angels' one of the most popular Night Head games. And why he was here was easy too he was one of the top players in said game.

"We got word of organized terrorism and crime communicating, recruiting and running a black market through the game so we asked you all here to form an in-game specialized Unit and take on missions get a name for yourself and infiltrated their network. Leave introductions for now you will be able to get to know your team member later. I will give you a rundown of what your mission is." The old man totally ignored all of them as he gave his briefing giving off a feeling of urgency.

"Ok now that the Chief gave you a briefing, I'm sure you all know why you are here. I'm Roy and I will be your supervisor during this operation. You will report everything back to me." One of the men that stayed behind after the Chief left spoke up, he was standing in front looking at the six sitting around the table. He wasn't much older than them which helped them feel comfortable around him. "This beautiful young lady..." Roy smiled pointing at the woman sitting next to the guy at the laptop. "...Is Ren. She will be in charge of your bodies while your brain is connected to the Night Head." Ren stood up giving them a slight nod and a smile quickly putting everyone at ease. She really had a relaxing calming aura about her. Roy smiled seeing that they had calmed down a lot. "Well then let me introduce the team. Chan, please come here."

Chan looked up at Roy nodding right away standing up to come to the front. "Guys this is Chan your commander. He is one of the top-ranking player and mission command leader for this year's lead board mission battle. He will lead your team for your infiltration mission." Roy confidently placed his hand on Chan's shoulder giving the others a smile. "First we tried the infiltration having a professional military unit playing the game but they failed miserably. Thus, we decided we need a commander familiar with the game that's why we asked Chan to join our team." After that Roy went around introducing the other five members of his team. "First we have Yuta he is the same age as you Chan. His speciality is hacking. Next, we have Daen, he is a military sniper with little game experience but with the right commander, he can be useful. Then these two ladies Mei a mapper and Tahlan a mechanic. Last we have Kan he is a dealer." Chan nod as they were introduced to him one after another. In the end, he couldn't help but smile they really did their homework. The team they gave him was the exact team he would gather for every standard mission and that would be found in any proper 'Guns Of Angels' guide. "I might need to get outside help for one mission or another but this team will do for now," Chan replied.

After they were shortly introduced Roy had left them with the mission instructions and left with Ren and the other member of the Chief's team that they hadn't been introduced too. Chan sighed looking at the mission information. It was clear what they wanted them to do. "Well, the way it looks we will have to register as a new special force unit in the game and work our way up the leader board. They want us to use our current accounts to make it easier for people to recognise us and don't ask too many questions as to why a completely new registered team can climb up that fast. The first mission will be the introduction mission easy to do but the path they laid out for us is different from the normal gameplay I will go through this all and come up with a preliminary plan and then let's go over it together." As commander, his job was to oversight the mission and plan everything and give out orders if the plan went sideways. "Let me see the mission list I can help you by running simulations," Yuta spoke up right away. He was a hacker and a computer specialist with a lot of gaming experience so he knew what was to do. Chan just nod. "Let me write a proper mission briefing this is just bad." He sighed again turning around to the computer. "Commander when you are done please let me know soon so I can get familiar with the map and the terrain we will enter." Mei's soft polite voice sounded behind them and Chan nod right away. "You will all get all the information you need. And don't call me commander outside the game it makes me feel old." He chuckled softly. "Hey don't say that you are probably the youngest here," Daen spoke up. He was sitting on the table one foot on a chair playing with his dog tags looking rather uninterested. Chan just shrugged letting the others laugh at his expenses. Daen wasn't wrong with his fresh out of school nineteen years he was the youngest other than Yuta.
