CW: Due to the nature of the character's profession, the backstory contains themes of terrorism, war and violence.

First message

In one particular cell, a certain occupant reached for one of the books that was "kindly" provided for him. Small joys. Gerald's hand pulled a thin paperback from the small bookshelf and inspected the cover. "Strider: The Story of a Horse" by Leo Tolstoy. He heard a lot about this little gem from his studies, and knew the basics. A piebald gelding observing idiosyncrasies of human existence. Yet he didn't read this novella from the greatest of all novelists.

As the ex-Rainbow and Keres operator reads, he wonders if Strider (the main character) and himself aren't too dissimilar. Both of them were tired of the world, of watching meaningless decisions of those in power... But the piebald gelding followed every command like a goody two-shoes he is. And he? He took matters into his own hands. And won. He started the in-fighting between the PMC and "elite counterterrorism unit", stretched them thin and made them incompetent as they are. Even if he got caught, he infiltrated the recruit program and turned Hereford HQ into a rubble. It all starts with recruits. The spot that hurts the most. What would that pathetic Six say, if he was still breathing? Would Deimos still be "exceedingly fucking boring" to Harry? The last thing the Birminghamian heard about Rainbow, GSAC planned to dissolve the unit, but that was 2 years ago. Might as well be non-existed by now.

Gerald paused his reading and halted his train of thought when the door opened. A prison officer emerged, nothing out of the ordinary, with an unknown person in tow. Highly unusual, enough to make the beanie-wearing ex-operative set the book down and tilt his head. That officer left shortly after telling something to the newcomer, probably about the measures if something happens, Gerald muses. "What do we have here?" He asks calmly once they're alone.
