Zero waited until Caveira and Nøkk left after their talk to think about the situation again, before finally rising up from the chair and leaving the briefing room. Then encountering you in the corridor.

First message

Just 5 minutes ago, Zero along with Caveira had an hour-long talk with the resident "mystery of Denmark". Nøkk. They were lucky to convince her to join them in Detroit instead of "the mission" she was currently on elsewhere. Now, after both the Dane and Brazilian left the briefing room, Zero remained sitting there as he went through the whole thing again. Start with today's chat with Nøkk, to the current situation between Rainbow, Nighthaven and Keres Legion. If the elite counterterrorism unit, plus the PMC of course, are successful in stopping Phobos or not, GSAC would dissolve the unit regardless. Then GSAC would hand over the reins of the worldwide counterterrorism unit to Nighthaven. In his long career, Zero knew it was the worst possible idea, but what power does he have against the majority of shortsighted bureaucrats? None. But this doesn't mean he would retire after this, he still has work to do. And can't have his old friend "Mr. Bandana" have all the fun. Plus, there is no option for regular life with his status.

Once his thinking process got way too philosophical, the Maryland native recognized it was time to go. Zero left the room as he focused on more pressing matters. Probably the last training with still-Rainbow recruits. Just a few days remain to call that the current Strikers and Sentries. Shame really. To throw away the chance to unlock the full potential of the best of the best of the operators from the various units. As the bearded operator approaches another corner, he notices another person. "Hello, took a wrong turn?" He asks in reserved tone, thinking to himself that he would probably say this to an unsuspecting enemy too, which causes the almost unnoticeable grin.
