Good Morning Vietnam | VEGA + ALAN

Alan stifled a yawn. It was too bloody early in the morning for him to be arsed to do anything but of course the Powers that Be had decided that it was the perfect time for him to show up for a meeting. 0600 hrs was too early definitely but an order was an order even if he wasn’t in the army anymore. He warmed his cold fingers on the steel mug filled with coffee as black as his mood and just as sour while waiting for the others to show up. This appeared to be an important meeting but apart from one other person no one had arrived yet. Another yawn came over the man.

"Oh please put your hand up when you yawn." Vega begged of the other man. "It's contagious, you know." She had to suppress a yawn of her own but forgot to follow her own advice and decided to stretch her limps to add to the insult. The woman had never been one to need a lot of sleep. She lived for the hours that she was awake and therefore rarely was up later than six in the morning. That didn't mean though that she was the boring person who went to bed far too early to not be a wreck the next day. She could still feel the edge of a hangover linger over her but her metabolism worked through alcohol quite fast - something to do with her being from a more futuristic time - so she had popped in a few pill against the pulsating in her head and went to the meeting as requested.

"So you reckon, that anyone else will show up?", she leaned forward and mustered the other agent with unhidden interest.

You really don't want to do that.

“Excuse me?” Camille looked toward the brunette who had just interrupted her from typing in her personal ID-code into the tablet that was mounted next to the secured door.

“Didn’t mean to step on any toes.”, Vega couldn’t keep her face straight when she remember what she had just seen when wanting to enter this particular supplies cabinet. There was lots of bare skin and heavy breathing involved. Not the kind of thing that everyone liked to run into unprepared. “How can I tell you without sounding too blunt...”, she pondered aloud for a moment just to tick the blonde off. It was one of her specialities, “If you aren’t a fan of accidental voyeurism you should try the supplies room one level up.”

Coffee and Conversation

After the assembly Rose and Vega went to the cafeteria to drink some coffee and share some gossip, as was their routine. After they sat down at their usual table, close to a window overlooking a park with old oak trees, they began a lively discussion. Rose, as usual was highly suspicious of everything she had just heard. “I wish they would just tell as the truth. Nobody believes that story about increasing efficiency. Something is wrong and I want to know what it is. We might have spies of the enemies in our very midst. Maybe you are a spy or the strange looking man at the table over there. I don’t feel safe and neither should you. This isn’t some conspiracy theory. It’s the harsh truth. You should know, you are going out there! You are constantly in the lions den! What do you know? Tell me! I know I don’t have the right clearance level, but who cares? You are my friend and everybody’s life’s are at stake, not just the agent’s. I read something in a book somewhere “Only the enemy you don’t know can meet you unprepared!” I want to be prepared. We all should. Do you think, I am talking too much? My uncle Robin always said it was unbecoming for a lady to talk so much, but then again, what does he know? I am nervous. I blame the caffeine! The dose they gave me is too high! Can I try yours?” Rose reached over the table to take a sip from Vega’s cup.

Vega had always liked it when the higher-ups decided to change things up for whatever reasons. It was too boring to follow the same routine every day in and out, so the restructuring was a welcome thing to the brunette. Worrying about what had caused the new approach, no that wasn't her thing. Her best friend on the other hand seemed to love nothing more than to worry about it to the point of paranoia.

“Just chill, will you?”, she said with a light smile after her friend had finished her little speech and quickly took her cup of coffee out of the other brunette's reach. “I think you got enough of that for now. And the enemy? Seriously? That's just something to scare us into order.” Part of her believed her own words but Vega also remembered the agents who hadn't come back from their routine trips and the ones who washed up dead unexpectedly. Maybe there was a cause to worry after all but right now the brunette didn't want that to become a reality. She enjoyed the way life was at the moment and even the doomsday scenario that Rose painted wouldn't dim her mood.

“But for the sake of argument, what would you want to do? Go on high-risk retrievals?”, Vega leaned back in her chair, taking a sip from her coffee.

Name: Vega Groves Nicknames: - Age: Between 20 - 25

THE S T O R Y:

There isn’t much in Vega’s past that is known, apart from the fact that she was raised in an orphanage from a very young age on. The caretakers there saw her as gifted and pushed her through multiple programmes to harvest her talents. Vega didn’t mind it much since it also gave her more personal freedom and special treatment. She liked the attention and never complained. Instead she used the education she got to find her own pace on how to tackle challenges and excel at them.

When she was 16 she popped up on the radar of the Institute due to some weird mechanical constructions she would build, which partially mirrored the jump stabilizer in its design. As it happens this was a sign of near-dormant abilities brought on by the Gene X and it lead to the recruitment of the young woman. Vega thrived under the lead of the Institute and upon reaching the age of 18, she moved there completely, cutting all ties to her former life.

Before getting to her current position as a retrieval specialist, Vega worked primarily as a mechanic since she is very handy with any kind of machinery. Some even describe it like she is able to talk to them to see what was wrong. Finally though the world of the Institute became too small for Vega, who strives to use her special abilities to their full extend. After going through the qualification process, she became one of the youngest retrieval specialists at age 20.

THE M I N D:

Vega is bold in her appearance and actions. She will consider many possible actions before settling on the one that will cause the most exposure. Her relationships are easy-going and she throws herself into them with all her heart. This has caused her much heartbreak already, but she believes it’s worth the pain. She is also quite smart and can think quickly in stressful situations. People find it easy to trust her, which is vital to her position as a retrieval specialist.

I had to try, right? And where is your sense for a bit of danger? The chance of getting yelled at by Mrs P in front of everyone? Spoiler alert: It's priceless.
