[M][Earth] Of the People

[Victoria]

There were no questions. None that would have been worth asking. Sigfried was placing everything into motion, pushing the players into place. Victoria had already told him to point and she would deliver. What bothered her was the sudden action that they were taking. Perhaps there was a reason for all of this espionage. She asked herself, wasn't it such espionage that had gotten her into this mess in the first place? Victoria could only shake her head and stand up from the couch. She would deal with Capsul Corp whilst the two, Jarka and Sigfried, dealt with an ambiguous group of powerful soldiers. It was anyone's guess just what support could be garnered from that group. They weren't unknown to Zone Five, hardly, the two had an understanding. Yet that wasn't her mission, her mission barely required more than dressing up and fooling the staff of a juggernaut company. It would be easy.

“I heard what happened,” the voice filtered through her cellphone. “I also saw a little footage...”

“I was doing my job, it wasn't personal.” Victoria gazed down at the carpet. She had returned to her hotel that day, folder now spread out on her bed. She would have to make a call to their contact to get things set up. “Roy was the leader of this small organization, and once he died, Sigfried took that role. He told me to kill them, so I did.”

“You shouldn't have used the injection.”

“I didn't know who they were. It's fine, I have plenty left. Stop worrying, Jeremy, it's all going according to plan,” Victoria traced a small circle on the top of the desk, a silence falling between them. “I miss you...”

“I know, darling, and I trust you. Just focus on the task at hand. Do you know what he has planned?” Jeremy's smooth accent trickled into her ear.

“I have no idea. From what I've gathered, his plan is to get support from a few groups...including Capsul Corp. He already has us, but from there I don't know. The government had to have had something to do with Roy's death, but their combat gear was unfamiliar. Regardless, the people are in a riot over it. I'm not sure what Sigfried's goals are, if he's planning on going after the invaders or...” she trailed off.

“The government,” Jeremy replied, his voice filled with amusement. “It's obvious what's going on, but we've invested a lot into this mission. Stay with it, and keep me updated. Are you sure you're alright?”

“Yes, stop worry about me, old man.”

The phone clicked and her smile faded. A soft sigh escaped her throat, her phone was set upon the desk beside her laptop. “I'm not alright...”

“Welcome to Capsul Corp,” her voice was high pitched and filled with bubbly emotion. The woman stood with a clip board and a pen nestled behind one ear. Soft brown hair was lifted up into a bun, while a pair of slim glasses perched on her nose. She wore a classy black skirt, high heels, and a pale blue blouse buttoned up.

Victoria stood next to three others, a man and two women. The man was older, with gray peppering his black hair. A suit adorned his body. The two women were young, one with lilac hair, bright green eyes and a summer dress. The other had short blonde hair, and seemed otherwise bored with all that was going on. This was how the real world worked...Mentally, the hunter was keeping notes.

“You're all here for one reason, and one reason alone, to work for Capsul Corp and spread technology across the universe. You may start of small, you may end up delivering mail and coffee, but don't let that deter you. There is a lot of potential for advancement without our company!” the woman said, her eyes hovering over each new employee.

Victoria had worn a stylish black skirt that ran down the length of her legs to her ankles. A white blouse with a black bow was worn for her top. The sleeves were short. Using hair extensions and clips her pink hair was styled and arranged into a pony tail and lengths running down her shoulders to the middle of her back. A pair of glasses were upon her nose, giving her a professional look. Her arms were held close to her chest with a small folder, things she needed to know for her new job.

It had been easy to get her in. Using the information given, a position had been selected, she would be an assistant to the current staff. Victoria would do anything and everything to find out the layout of the building, the people within, and who was in charge. She had until the end of the week to do it. There had been harder missions in her life, this one couldn't compare. The girl smiled and bobbed her head to her new supervisor. Yes, she was excited to work for such a booming cooperation.

Once she found her target, it was a simple matter of convincing him of her agenda. They would be best complying and joining the cause. However...not even the youth knew what her cause was. Ever since Roy's death she had been confused, and unsure. Hati and Jarka had helped her along the way, got her on her feet, but as far as their agenda...she hadn't a clue. Victoria wanted to know where they were going with all of this support, who they were after. In the beginning it had been the aliens...now, it felt wrong. This was what Roy had wanted, she would tell herself. The government had to be stopped, after all, they had killed him. Some people would die she was sure, aliens or not, but it still made her question. Where were the invaders? Victoria could only hope that they were real, otherwise she truly was a fool.
