Aleksei smiled he liked what he was hearing in a way everything she was telling him was everything he wanted to hear, everything he wanted to Achieve with all of his activities. Nations and the war they brought about for money, for territory for popularity it was what brought an end to the lives of his sisters and the lives of everyone he had once known and loved "I have no loyalty to any nation not anymore everything your telling me is what I've always wanted to hear from someone I'm ready to do whatever it takes to achieve everything you have just told me you have all my skills at your disposal" Aleksei said with slight excitement in his voice which was rare
"Nations are an abomination upon humanity that must be wiped away to make way for new and better things" Aleksei said nodding "They fight they're wars for many idiotic reasons and pay no heed to the pain it causes their people no remorse for the deaths they cause they take no responsibility and claim that they fight for the right reasons but in truth they just want to fulfill they're own selfish desires" Aleksei said voicing his view on what Aurora had said

Aurora gave a delighted laugh. Aleksei was showing emotion, which was rather refreshing compared to the monotonous people she's been dealing with lately outside of her company. Even better, his emotion was most pleasing to her. "Then I suppose that is settled." she said with satisfaction, "Now is the matter of your reputation. Unfortunately you are quite famous in a very negative way, and given our public face, we need to reshape the way the world views you before you can join Irkalla publicly. Perhaps a new identity? Or would you rather we fabricate your innocence in the media for your actions past? I'm intrigued at what you will decide would be the best course of action." another test. Aurora seldom pressured people with orders, but rather used a more passive-aggressive approach of letting people feel they had an option. Most people worked well with this system, given she seldom acted negatively against the person, regardless of how wrong the answer may be in her eyes. To her it was a way of educative evaluation, rather than a form of gauging punishment. Besides, no one in her company was ever punished, unless they betrayed the company... in which case, they usually just... 'disappeared'.

Aleksei thought about his options for a moment he really didn't feel comfortable changing his identity he was who he was and he was a strong believer that you should never pretend to be somebody else "I think I would prefer to fabricate my innocence I am not ashamed of my actions in the past but some things must be sacrificed for greater purposes" Aleksei said smiling
"Anyway I've always wondered what it would be like to be seen as a Hero and not a Villain I believe it would be an interesting Experience for me" Aleksei said

"You shall be a victim first, before you are a hero." Aurora smiled, clearly knowing this process very well. She typed up some things on her portable keyboard, "Consider it done." she chuckled softly. Aurora walked behind her desk, pulling out a contract, walking back to Aleksei and handing it to him, along with a pen, "This is our standard contract. It states that all trade secrets are to be kept and that you, basically, vow your life and loyalty to Irkalla." she smiled pleasantly. The document was full of legal language, all of which basically stated that the employee's life was forfeit to Irkalla. However, it stated that by doing so, all aspects of living were guaranteed to be above-average. Aurora kept her smile, eyeing Aleksei, "I will have to give you a very specialized position... suited for your very special skills." she grinned in a pleased manner, clearly satisfied with the way this whole 'interview' has gone.

Aleksei looked over the Contract and signed his name at the bottom and gave the Contract one last time before putting the Contract on the desk atleast he had a choice in the matter his service in the military was involuntary "A Specialized position?" Aleksei asked looking at Aurora with a raised eyebrow "Sounds interesting" Aleksei said smiling "So when do I start" Aleksei asked petting one of the many Cats in Aurora's office as it passed him the cat looked up at Aleksei with wide unblinking eyes before jumping up into onto his lap and curling up on his lap

"Things are always interesting here in Irkalla." Aurora said with a playful almost flirty smile, "You start whenever you are ready. As far as records go, you are now an employee of Irkalla. You'll report directly to me." she smirked, taking the contract from her desk and filing it in a drawer. Aurora's smile widened as she noticed the cat jumping on Aleksei's lap, "Seems Sheeva has taken a liking of you." The sphinx cat Nergal jumped on the desk as if by cue. Aurora began petting him, "Ever since I was a little girl I've loved cats. Nergal here is my favorite... specially since he doesn't have any hair." she chuckled as Nergal purred.

Aleksei petted the cat in his lap and listened to it purr "I like cats I know this is an unnecessary story to tell but when I still lived in Ukraine we used to have alot of Cats around the village" Aleksei said smiling remembering better times when he was still a child "My sisters would always scold me and say 'we don't even have enough food for ourselves and your giving it to a cat!'" Aleksei said recalling his sister Dasha she hated cats "I always thought even if we don't have food for ourselves why should we deny food from something or someone that has none at all" Aleksei said reminiscing still stroking the Sheeva's fur He shook his head slowly "Anyway the past is the past its better to live in the present. I'm ready to start anytime you need me to" Aleksei said nodding "However I'm eager to see how you will fabricate innocence for someone with my reputation I don't think I will be able to do much until I'm seen as innocent in the publics eyes" Aleksei said smirking

Aurora listened with quiet attention at the story, a soft smile on her face as she watched Aleksei's body language as he spoke, all the while petting her dear Nergal. Aurora moved towards Aleksei, leaning down to see eye-to-eye, reaching out to trail her soft fingertips over Aleksei's cheek, "Such a noble soul underneath all that anger..." her lips suddenly curled into a smirk, "I'm glad I didn't kill you the first day we met." she chuckled, standing up straight again. She dropped onto the other chair, remaining draped over the two arm rests with her behind on the soft chair padding itself. This was obviously a much more casual gesture. Aurora let out a giggle, resting her right elbow on the arm rest that craddled her back, cupping her cheek on her right hand, her long legs somehow covered with her skirt, only her bare feet sticking out of it's end up to her ankle. Even in such an almost childish pose over a chair, she somehow managed to be graceful about it. "Hear the news tonight. Just choose any channel from any nation. The message will be brief, but to the point. We don't want to make it a big story. It is best that people simply hear it and not have time to question themselves..." Aurora snickered softly, brushing a strand of her long snow-white hair off her face, tucking it behind her ear, "Social engineering is a specialty of mine. It's an art I've been fine-tuning for a few years, but with enough knowledge about a demographic, you can convince them of just about anything with the right type of media message. Not everyone will believe it, but the general public will be convinced, and choose to conform to the idea that a mistake in identification software labeled you the cause of all these attacks, when in reality you are just a simple business man who was in the wrong place at the wrong time." this was obviously the 'generic' bits of the story that was about to be practically subliminally fed to the masses. Her publishing department would handle the fine details.

Aleksei smiled as he felt her finger tips brush against his cheek "Noble ... Thats something I haven't been called in a while" Aleksei said Aleksei watched her as she gracefully took a seat at her desk and began to tell him her plan to him "An Innocent buisness man although sitting behind a desk isin't really my preffered job I'm sure I won't be doing that often" Aleksei said as Sheeva jumped from his lap onto the floor "I must say Aurora you seem very familiar with how the human mind works thats very impressive" Aleksei said

"Hardly..." she chuckled at the desk comment, "You will have an office, and a desk, but it's up to you how much you use it. Your job will be Damage Control... if something is out of place you are to report it to me, and if I give you clearance, you dispose of it properly. This includes problems within the company, or problems outside of it threatening the company. Now, I know you like to control subordinates with fear... I will not have that with the staff. It's ok if they fear you, but don't terrorize them, alright?" she chuckled, winking at him. She giggled, looking at him with half-closed eyes, "I love all aspects about humanity. Humans are a work of art... and it's not just the muscles, the soft skin over raw flesh, or the way eyes glisten in the light. It's also the way someone moves, the way someone thinks, the... soul, if you will. The masterpiece of the gods... and it is this fascination that has lead me to study many aspects of the psyche." she purred, "The mind is a beautiful seed that can be cultivated in so many ways..." she chuckled.

Aleksei smiled "Damage control... hm I like it. It sounds like a job that would suit me well so will I be getting subordinates?" Aleksei asked smiling true he liked to control by fear but since that was no longer and option he would just instill discipline with fear possibly seen as the same thing but not entirely Discipline gains respect but a beaten dog will still bite if given the chance "And Don't worry I won't terrorize them I'm just going to instill discipline within my subordinates we can't have people who cannot listen to orders" Aleksei said knowing that some of them would be reluctant to listen to him if they what he did in the past

"Yes, you will get subordinates." Aurora smiled, "Discipline is expected of my staff. Everyone who has been in the company for over a year are expected to be disciplined." she chuckled softly. Aurora's eyes gazed up to one of the holoscreens floating up above the desk, "Hah! Seems someone is hosting a fashion show in Clovisland. It's always fun to see what other designers dare to put out to try to compete with my designs." she giggled with cruel amusement, "I must make room in my schedule to attend this." she smirked maliciously. Her eyes turned to Aleksei again, "So tell me, Aleksei... do you enjoy knightmares? I am currently working in a new design... I'm rather excited about it to be honest." she smiled with satisfaction.

Aleksei shuddered at the thought of Knightmare frames he really disliked the invention of them he remembered being forced into one for training when he was 14 it was so cramped and dark and he didn't know what controlled which thing he ended up destroying the Officers Messhall by Accident they never let him even get near a Knightmare Frame again Aleksei closed his eyes "Um I've had bad experiences with Knightmare Frames" Aleksei said there were few things in the world that bothered him and Knightmare Frames were one of them "I don't hate them but I'm not particularly fond of them either" Aleksei said He shook his head trying to forget the bad experiences the memory also held its humurous points but he wanted to change the subject he glanced up at the screen he wasn't a large fan of fashion he liked to dress well but he really didn't care what brand he wore

"Sorry I brought it up then." Aurora said with a sweet smile. She was curious as to why Aleksei had such repulsion for knightmares, but she wasn't going to question it at the moment. "Well, I'd say this meeting was a success, wouldn't you?" she said with a start, sliding off her chair, moving over to Aleksei, offering her hand, "How about you show up tomorrow. I'll have someone waiting in the lobby for you to show you around." Aurora was used to taking 'odd' people into Irkalla, but this was a first.

Aleksei nodded "Yes Ms.Gallows I believe that this meeting was very sucessful I'll return tomorrow" Aleksei said shaking her hand and smiling he walked back to the door and gave her a slight bow and his own charming smile something he did not do often and left through the door toward the Elevator the guards didn't follow him this time it seemed they already knew that he was an Employee of Irkalla already he gazed at the empty face plates of the Irkalla sentinels perhaps he knew some of them he was sure that some spetsnaz had joined Irkalla when Russia was nearly defeated by Britannia he shrugged and walked toward the Elevator and took it back down to the lobby and left from the front door
(Exit)
