Alex kept a sharp eye out among the crowd the Britannian goverment had hired members of NEXUS to help keep the peace in Clovisland after a bloody riot that took the lives of 44 civilians and 7 riot police officers
Alex pressed down lightly on the transmit button on his headset "Keep sharp watch if someone looks suspisious take em out of the crowd and we'll run a psyche scan on them" Alex said his men weren't allowed to carry firearms infront of civilians but he still had his M1911.45 in its holster on his belt if there was one thing he learned from his life in Nexus and in the military is that to always be prepared for any situation regardless of what the conditions may be
"Everything is quiet sir" A Security officer said
"Ya if you call all these crazy kids around here quiet" Another officer said
Alex frowned and pushed the transmit button his headset "Both of you shut up maintain radio silence" Alex said

Aurora walked along the theme park, wearing a black and yellow short dress, with black stockings and fashionable ballerina-like black slippers. She carried one of her parasols leaning against her shoulder, shielding herself from the sun. Her pink eyes were hidden behind Irkalla-brand designer sunglasses, as usual.
Hidden along the crowd were her guards, not regular Sentinels but Wraiths. The secretive force of Irkalla, trained to blend into crowds. They closely watched for any threats to their beloved CEO. Aurora had a hidden earpiece under her long platinum hair, and was constantly listening to the discreet chatter of the Wraiths.
Aurora sipped from a bottle of water, eyeing the Nexus forces. She was looking to expand her security division, specially here in Area 11, and Nexus had a very good reputation. Of course, she'd never hire them... but rather... 'steal' them away. It would also help to hire one of these mercenaries, specially now that Irkalla was about to officially open it's privateer division.
Aurora and her Wraiths were here for the sole purpose of intel gathering... well, her Wraiths were gathering intel, she on the other hand was just having a good time.

Gauron carefully picked his way through the crowd. Clovisland had, once again, become a bloodbath. Considering the news reports, the instigator had to be Mana and her Geass. That was the only way to explain so many people becoming so gloriously violent. That, however, was neither here nor there.
Today was not a day for thinking about what was past. If anything, it was the perfect time to consider the future. He had been given a job and was here to make good on it. The media had been oh-so helpful in keeping an eye on Aurora's whereabouts for him. All he had to do was give her the Data Stick with his findings and his debut mission with Irkalla would be complete - lackluster though it may be.
For this final phase, Gauron was disguised as a park employee. His coveralls stated his name as Tyler and he had a hat pulled low on his head. After all, his face wasn't exactly forgettable. Today, discretion would be his best weapon.
When he finally caught sight of his new boss, Gauron did not approach immediately. Rather, he waited back and watched for guards. Aurora Gallows was an intelligent, powerful, and dangerous person. No doubt she would be surrounded constantly by protectors. As the crowds fluctuated, he was able to find only two of them. They were good.
With a brazenness unbecoming of a lowly sanitation worker, Gauron made his way past the two guards and finally wound up next to Aurora. "Excuse me, miss, but a strange man with a scar told me to give this to you," he said in a light voice that held only a small hint of his usual gruff tone. He pulled the data stick out of his pocket and held it out to her.

A Nexus Security officer spotted a slightly shady looking Park Employee walking through the crowd
"Commander I see a shady looking fellow here he's got his hat pulled over his eyes I don't know what to make of him" The Security officer said over his headset to Alex
Alex pressed the transmit button his headset "Keep watch on him but don't approach remember your unarmed here if he's really violent then chances are he's not" Alex said glancing at the employee from his elevated position up at the top of a staircase leading to another part of the park
"Copy that commander I'll keep a close eye on him" The officer said following the employee and trying to be discreet about it
"All Nexus Operatives remain on stand by until I have issued further orders" Alex said

Aurora turned to Gauron, a smile on her face, "Mmm... a man with a scar, huh?" she took the data stick, taking out her unique cellphone, plugging the data stick to it, scrolling through the information, "Quite thorough... then again I don't expect any less from Mr. Gauron..." Aurora clearly had figured it was him. At this distance it was hard to miss, specially after he spoke.
Aurora paused for a second, "Nexus men seem suspicious of Wolf." a voice said through Aurora's earpiece.
Aurora chuckled, taking out a card from her belt, handing it to Gauron, "Call me or meet me at Irkalla. Your toy will be ready for you... I also have a proposal for you." she smiled, "Now go. They are suspicious of you." she winked.

Gauron smiled politely at her words. "I'm afraid that I don't know what you're talking about," he replied, feigning ignorance. Something felt different now. He was under surveillance. Time to have some fun, he thought wickedly.
"Call me or meet me at Irkalla. Your toy will be ready for you... I also have a proposal for you. Now go. They are suspicious of you." Aurora's people did quick work. He took the offered card and slipped it into his pocket.
"I'll be going, then. Have a nice day, ma'am." He turned away from Aurora and walked towards a more secluded section of the park, hoping that his tail would follow him. The feeling of being watched never ebbed while he wandered. If anything, it grew more intense. Whichever group the person belonged to, they were well organized. That would make the poor bastard's death even better. Organized groups tended to be more tightly-knit. The death of a member would hit the team hard. He turned a sharp corner around a building and waited, ready to turn the tables at a moment's notice.

The officer followed the Employee gently pushing through the crowd to avoid making a scene "Sir I might lose him the crowds too thick" The officer said looking around the crowd
"Keep after him all units converge on Unit 3's position be discreet about it we're here to keep the peace not cause more chaos Unit 3 try to pursue the target if possible" Alex said over his headset
"Commander I see him I'm continuing pursuit" The officer said spotting the employee going around a corner moving through the crowd slightly faster to keep up with him

Aurora smiled watching Gauron go. She heard through her hidden reciever as the Wraiths updated her on the Nexus movements. She giggled to herself, wondering how well they'd fare in what might become an inevitable battle. Silly men... they were about to get slaughtered if they didn't back down.
Aurora approached Alex, smiling her usual seductive smile, her every step carried a natural sway of her hips, "You might want to call your men off that pursuit. My messanger is paranoid... and rather trigger happy when he feels threatened." Of course, the idea of Gauron feeling threatened was rather funny, but she'd rather keep Gauron's identity a secret from Alex.

Gauron waited, a malicious grin plastered on his face. The poor fool following him had no idea what was about to happen. As the man turned the corner, Gauron lashed out. His fist connected solidly with the man's throat, catching him by surprise. Before he had a chance to defend himself, Gauron kicked one of his knees. Hard. The joint broke with a sick crunch and the man fell, trying to scream through his damaged wind pipe. What came out was a strangled, pleading noise.
Gauron's grin widened as he pulled out his knife and plunged it into his target's throat. Blood poured and bubbled from the wound. The dying man clutched at his throat in a vain attempt to survive. Gauron wrenched the blade out and cut open the man's shirt. With a speed that could only be obtained through practice, he carved a message into the dead man's chest: "Try harder next time". He toyed with the idea of sticking around and playing more, but decided against it. One would be enough for now. With a satisfied smirk, he began walking towards the nearest exit. He reached it without incident and left the amusement park - as well as his handiwork - behind.
[EXIT]

Alex cast a glance at Aurora as she told him to call off the pursuit
"Commander Unit 4's Life Signs just flat lined!!" A Voice said over Alex's headset
Alex frowned his fist closed slightly but his anger quickly died he shook his head "Find his body and get it out of sight we can't afford to have another incident happen here" Alex said
"But sir one of our men is dead we can't just let this go" The voice said over Alex's headset
"You'll do as I tell you thats an order" Alex said switching off his headset and taking it out of his ear and putting it in his vest pocket
"You want to explain what you mean by Your Messenger?" Alex asked looking toward Aurora he wasn't angry casualties were always to be expected in the life of a mercenary and Alex had gotten used to all the death in his line of work

Aurora sighed softly as she herself got a report of the incident, though she couldn't help but chuckle softly after sighing, "I'm sorry, I suppose I wasn't quick enough to prevent this. I am Aurora Gallows, and the man who just killed your comrade is a freelance messenger of mine, meant to carry very important documents, reason why someone with his particular... skills... is required."
Sure, Aurora was partly lying, but who would know the difference? She was a master at bluffing.
"You must be from Nexus... pardon my curiosity, but what is Nexus doing here in Area 11? I would think Britannia would have plenty of forces to keep peace in this place. Then again, I also thought Britannia would be able to respond in time when my building was attacked... luckily my own security force was capable of diffusing the situation in time." the bait was in the water, and Aurora's eyes invited Alex to play with her, to dance in the wonderful waltz of information.

"Britannia's forces are not reliable in peace keeping situations nor are they reliable in any other situation so they needed units that had experience in Peace Keeping but also in putting down uprisings and riots" Alex said he recognized the woman from the news she was one of the most famous people in the buisness industry Aurora Gallows
"As for the man your messenger killed...Casualties are expected theres nothing that can be done when its over. But I have a question what is the CEO of a major corporation doing here at an amusement park so soon after a bloody riot took place most people would stay away from this type of place for a while" Alex said

Aurora flashed her seductive smile, "So professional... I didn't know Nexus had such assets in their personnel. I might just try to steal you away to my company." she giggled.
She laughed at the question, shaking her head softly, "I've never bent to the will of terrorists. If I stay away they get the satisfaction of succeeding at creating fear, yes? I go where I want, when I want. Besides, I'm never really alone. My personel has been monitoring the entire park for hours." she grinned, wondering if he had noticed.
Aurora took a sip from her bottle of water, then spun her parasol absently, making the black lace around it's edge flap in the wind, "So how is Nexus treating you? Ever get bored babysitting random people? It must be so boring... trying to care for strangers, regardless of how rotten they may be. This job is at least commendable. These people need protection, but I can only imagine the scum that must hire you at times." she commented casually, looking about at the crowd, before turning back to Alex, flashing another smile.

Alex listened to everything Aurora told him she surely didn't seem like the type to run from terrorists especially after the incident at her own building he glanced around at the crowd only just noticing a few people observing the areas his men were in he mentally punched himself for not noticing before if they were in a war his men would already be dead luckily they weren't
"It does get pathetic at times being hired by rich snobby nobles who think of us as servants just because they're paying a large sum of money. So yes it gets boring especially because we have to change our ways to adapt to they're idiotic wants such as not being able to carry around firearms to keep up public appearance" Alex said thinking about todays situation

"Sounds quite dreadful." Aurora shook her hand, signaling she wouldn't want to deal with it, "Have you ever considered a more... permanent... employment?" she smirked, "Irkalla is ever-expanding, and our security division is quite competent. We can always use more bodies with the skills of a Nexus official." she produced a business card from her belt, offering it to Alex, "Of course, my Sentinels are paid top dollar, treated with respect in our family, and given access to the best equipment in the world. What's to lose? Think about it, dear." she smiled brightly.
