🗣️: a voicemail

Dear Ivan Petrov.

You have not been picking up your phone and you missed your flight back to base.

This is Syndicate, your boss.

You've been good help so here's a deal, show up before you die in two years and you're back on Biphosphonate. But! You can't stay in MY facility.

Power will be cut in two weeks. Think it over, you know the number.

What's wrong?

Ah I have a good idea who the problem employee is and unfortunately they're on the list of "bitch to kill"

But! Since he's betrayed me, I can divulge a little more information, without me, he has two years to live. Maximum.

He'll run out of time, and come crawling right back.

Climbing up off the lip of the ocean. A man. A rather large man, recovers from a nasty splash in the sea, pulling himself up on the Castellia docks.

"ghhhhgg, that wreck. He is pissing me off."

I remember when Ivan first approached me, his was an interesting case.

he was hired muscle for a gaggle of thieves. He won't tell me the name of the organization or what he stole but apparently his share of the money was enough to live a life of luxury nearly four times over.

I caught him first, threatening one of my scientists. He had developed an advanced version of Bone Atrophy, in the spine. He caught it early but it was effectively a death sentence, all the money in the world couldn't stop that, tragic really.

Ahhhh but what am I if not a man of opportunity, I was more than pleased to present to him, and opportunity.

An opportunity at life, work for me, and I'll give him time. Time to live, time to push back his date of death.

I still pay him regularly for his jobs, he is a model employee. But me and him both know he has more money than me. I just know the right people.

Employee Pathogen - Resume

Pathogen

Pathogen is one of my "full time" Employees, meaning he gets special treatment involving benefits that can treat his illness.

If that in any way dissuades you from hiring him, fear not. For he also has been topped off on an 'additional' substance that has been reacting very interestingly in his body. Giving him enhanced strength and reflexes fast and strong enough to keep up with even the strongest superheroes.

He specializes more in 'hits' than extractions though however, with that kind of strength it's far easier for him to topple a building than remove one man from it.

Hunter 2 - Pathogen - Begin

>Last train arrived at Anville Town. Please wait for the doors to fully open before stepping onto the platform.<

Doors opened and an eight foot figure ducked out of the doors, stepping onto the stone platform and looked around. The figure wore a large trenchcoat that covered their whole body, a hat that rest upon their head, and a featureless helmet with one smooth visor. Their footsteps are loud and noticable as they made their way to the stone stairs, observing the posted image of his targets face.

'In the woods.'

Walking past different tents not even caring to maneuver around those walking around looking at fliers, the tall figure arrived to where the path met the forest, and noticed in particular little speckles of spit, in the grass, he kneeled down and pinched at the grass and looked at his pitch black rubber gloves. It was pink in coloration.

'Diego.'

He didn't even need the biological readout from his visor, he knew from color and lack of care alone that that slobber belonged to him. And now he had a good sense that he was on the right track, and he made his way into the woods.

Hours later as the moonlight shined on down, the figure made his way to a patch of grass. Water soaking around his rubber boots.

'no rain. Hm.'

There was another wet patch further up ahead, someone was doing this on purpose. Even better Diego's DNA was detected in the first wet patch. Walking from patch to patch, examining the scenes, patch of grass after patch of grass, tree after tree.

Until finally the one showed up, on a single tall tree, speckles of dark brown dried up on the bark. Pathogen grabbed at the speckles, running his fingers across them.

>New DNA signature detected. Type AB, Black haired Male <

Perfect.

"You know I'm not in it for the money."

>Welcome to Nimbassa City, please enjoy your day<

A ringing, from one of the pockets on the coat, the figure reaches a hand in, ducking out of the train and walking past others, towering above them. And looking at the crowd, from their perspective a sea of red.

"what is it."

"you need to pull out, a third party has expressed it is very important that they capture the former Lieutenant and I've agreed to drop the fee for the next mission."

"You know I'm not in it for the money. And we both know you are." Silence on the other end of the receiver and then beep of a disconnected call. A huff comes from Pathogen before walking out of the train station, surely he was quickly trying to call the other guy by now.
