The room’s reaction to the Ascendancy’s entrance wasn’t missed. Alric’s training, having a new need to be prevalent, urged him to gather the minute details. The agent held himself with a confidence that reminded him of some of the instructors during his basic and again during his GSG 9 training. He seemed to be one to hold his tongue even in a crowd of trusted comrades given just how light his movements were and general aura that surrounded him. He’s dangerous.
The softer spoken instructors were the ones that seemed to run the show, even the commanding officers paid heed to their opinions. The more aggressive ones, while still more than capable to put boot to ass, were the ones that stood out more vividly in memory deferred to those that clung to the background.
He noted his position once he shut the door behind them and moved onto the world’s most powerful individual. Dressed immaculately, his presence and words however short, allowed Alric’s tension to loosen. Briefly he recalled the sheer volume of pressure that sprung in between them in the observation room not two days ago. Being back in his company had forced that memory back to the forefront of his mind.
Forty three years ago? The outbreak hadn’t been an issue until about seven or so years. In fact the reason the it was even categorized as an outbreak was because of how bizarre and new it was. That would explain how he was able to predict what would happen when the doctor didn’t. Holding that aside, the Ascendancy was known for his youthful appearance despite being well past his prime. Little was known, at least publicly, of the actual effects of the Sickness left on the afflicted. Perhaps this was one of them? That was improbable as he had never heard of a disease slowing down aging.
Alric had a number of questions for the man before him but he felt that Amulet of Man would keep his word and explain to him what he meant while addressing his cryptic statement. “If it’s acceptable to you, Ascendancy, I would refrain from asking questions until after you’ve briefed me what has happened to me and what I am.
” Alric would wait as his former commander and now civilian leader would lead this conversation where he wanted it to go. Having what information the Ascendancy would offer him would enable him to ask better questions later. Frivolous questions would only waste time and history has proven that the Ascendancy was a man of his word.
