Waves in the crowd
#5
It was a rare day that Nikolai demoted the Deputy-Consul from the forefront of his attention in exchange for a Sigma, who were little more than interns. Marcus was more than that, though, as Nikolai reminded himself when the young man approached. Marcus had an imposing presence about him that had nothing to do with physical appearance. It was a trait Nikolai shared and respected. Far more, he was a force of power that Nik intended to wield in a very specific direction. To use in a role Viktor absolutely could not fill.

"Thank you, Viktor. Keep me informed as always."
The older Russian exchanged glances with Marcus, his expression neutral, but tight.

"Of course, Ascendancy," he spoke and departed.

"Marcus,"
Nikolai greeted the Sigma, taking him into his confidence. "You're undoubtedly aware of what I said. There has been a development, and you're going to help me."
He showed Marcus through a passage way, the opening to which was blended into the gilded wallpaper of the palace walls. As they disappeared into the narrow corridor, the Barrier Preator agents that followed signaled their central controller, informing them of a transfer of protection. At the other end of the passageway, a second set of Barrier Preator agents opened the portal and they emerged into the shadow of a wall tower of the great fortress. Nikolai gestured and they strode along the battlement, invisible to the outside world yet hovering above the crowds.

"But first we are going to address the crowd. They need reminded of their loyalty to their leader."
He was in an unusually optimistic mood, and the slender ghost of a smile confirmed it. "Come on," he led them to the center wall tower, where once they emerged, would be positioned above Lenin's Mausoleum and able to hail the inhabitants filling the Red Square.

Although the decision was rather spontaneous, Nikolai was realistic. While Barrier agents worked with Kremlin police to ensure security before revealing himself to the public, he turned to Marcus. "How would you address them?"
He anticipated the answer, but still, it was his duty to mentor the Sigma.
