Agent Alaska: Recollection and Freelancer

Recovery One Pt. 1

Hi guys! I hope you enjoyed the last book! I'm so excited to move onto Agent Alaska: Recollection and Freelancer. But before we really get into the series, we have a mini series: Recovery One! Enjoy! Also, if you haven't read the blood gulch chronicles I recommend doing so it's not confusing when you read book 2.

Fade in on a dead red body and a dead blue body. In comes a soldier in dark armor with yellow highlights who leans down over one of the bodies and starts fidgeting, causing a green glow to emanate upon him

Voice: "Prime display activated. Restoring functions."

The voice is revealed to be an A.I.

A.I.: "Hello, how may I be of assistance to you?"

Soldier: "Instruction: identify yourself."

A.I.: "Executing; I am intelligence program Delta, as created for the special operative program Freelancer. I have been assigned to agent Foxtrot Twelve. Or, York. My assignee was recently killed in combat."

Soldier: "I noticed. Hold on."

Radio sounds

Soldier: "Come in, Command. This is Recovery One. I've located the Delta A.I. He appears in tact."

Command: "This is Command, we need a full inventory of the carrier's equipment before it's decommissioned."

Recovery One: "Why do you need that?"

Command: "Recovery One, please respond to the directive. Perform a complete inventory."

Recovery One: "Roger Command. Recovery One out. Delta, instruction: run a full system diagnostic, with detail on armor components, analyze inventory."

Delta: "Executing, result: all components present. Armor at 70% peak capacity."

Recovery One: "Not bad for an old locksmith. Hey, need you to start a countdown for me. One hundred on the clock."

Delta: "Initiating. One hundred. Ninety-nine. Ninety-eight. May I make an inquiry?"

Recovery One: "Go ahead."

Delta: "Why was I not destroyed?"

Recovery One: "What?"

Delta: "When an assignee is killed in action, protocol dictates that all intelligence programs be destroyed."

Recovery One: "Yeah that's what they told me at first too. But you were encrypted until you could be recovered. I'm here to recover you."

Delta: "Recovery carries risk. Destruction ensures that an A.I. will not fall in to enemy hands."

Recovery One: "Are you complaining?"

Delta: "Not at all! Just noting a discrepancy."

Recovery One: "What do you want from me guy? You cost a lot of money, okay? It's cheaper to recover you than it is to delete you. Go bitch to the accountants."

Delta: "If I have offended you, I do apologize."

Recovery One: "Yeah, I'm all busted up about it. Now, store yourself in a portable component, okay? I'm moving you."

Delta: "You could insert me in to your own A.I. slot. I do not show it as occupied."

Recovery One: "I don't think so."

Delta: "If you are having difficulty, I can walk you through the implantation procedure."

Recovery One: "I don't do that."

Delta: "Are you Agent Washington?"

Washington: "That's me."

Delta: "Then I understand. You had, difficulties with your assigned A.I. unit."

Washington: "Difficulties? Yeah, I suppose that's a word."

Delta: "In that case, I must insist that you terminate my program. Destruction ensures that an A.I. will not fall in to-"

Washington: "Look, Delta, just relax. I don't think you're in any danger of getting hijacked by one of the four dead guys here with us."

Delta: "Three."

Washington: "What?"

Delta: "My sensors indicate only three inert human forms. Yourself and one other remain active."

Washington: "Wha-"

Several rifle rounds shoot past Washington's head

Washington: "Huh!"

Washington starts running

Washington: "Great, thanks for telling me!"

Delta: "I suggest you return fire."

Washington: "Ya think?"

A plasma grenade lands at Washington's feet

Washington: "Son of a-!"

Washington and a white soldier run past each other shooting, and Washington comes up dry

Washington: "Dammit."

The white soldier reloads, then retreats

Washington: "What the hell?"

Delta: "Perhaps he realized that York's equipment was charged to detonate. Currently T-minus four,"

Washington: "Instruction! Storage, now!"

Delta: "Executing."

Delta disappears back in to York.

Delta: "Two. One."

Washington collects Delta and jumps off the building as York's body explodes behind him, and lands below

Washington: "Well, at least that was easier than the last one."

Radio sounds as Washington starts jogging

Command: "Recovery One, this is Command, we have a level one distress signal, immediate response necessary."

Washington: "I just wrapped that up, Command. I'm headed home."

Command: "Negative, Recovery One, this is a new signal."

Washington: "That's the fifth one this month."

Command: "Affirmative."

Washington: (sigh) "Alright, send me the coordinates."

Washington reaches his jeep and drives off.

Washington: "I'm on my way."

As Washington was driving away, 3 figures decloaks themselves. Which are Alpha, Texas, and Aur'an.

Alpha: "Agent Washington..."

Tex: "He has Delta on him. We should go."

Alpha: "Right. He should lead us to the Meta."

Aur'an: "Then we should hurry."
