Things were fine for the week. He observed the test subjects of the super soldier serum as well as the symbiotes. There were no adverse effects from the serum visible as of yet. That was a good sign. The next day, he saw that there were more files on his desk. When the head doctor and scientist approached Kenny and told them that they had to leave again, Kenny was surprised. "How did they find us this time!?" he demanded. The head doctor sighed and said "Those Sages are persistent. They even put pressure on the top for this. We have to shut down and we'll be lucky if we can get out the country before we get caught and killed." The scientist said "Since we also have connections to the top, we got a week's advance. That is much better than fleeing from active gunfire." Kenny was stunned. "Sages are a myth that my father made up! Even if an insurgent group takes the name, what do they possibly have on the top to make them cave in?" he asked. They gave him a knowing look. "That is above your paygrade. Just look at your new assignments." the doctor said. Kenny sat down with a sigh.
Since he was the most capable, he was tasked with taking care of some of the symbiotes. It was stated in the mission he had to take care of three of them. There was nothing in the file that said he could not take more. Since he had helped four of them gain citizenship, it would be an easy cover to claim they were his retainers. Blaze and Wendelin had already been introduced as such. Orion and Geralt would come with him as new hires. Reading closer, the three he was taking care of were to be sealed in the flasks and put in the secure case he had the first time he fled the country. That meant that he would have to take three non citizen symbiotes. He looked at them and made his choice. He was going to take Persephone, Rosalie and Ian in the case. the others were also going as his retainers. Since the case could only hold three flasks, that meant he was only taking one clone of each. It would not be a problem as the Nulls were docile and Ian actually liked him. He was to keep the case in a secure location and protect it until it was taken off his hands by another official. It was very long term.
Having the cased symbiotes change hands was to be done at a yet undetermined date and time. The next file was another honeypot mission. A journalist claimed to have dirt on a royal. The top wanted someone to infiltrate the office and find evidence of such blackmail. They were then to destroy the material or kill the journalist if they were lying. There were also three assassination orders. One was one another aristocrat digging too deep into the last hit. Another was a foreign diplomat that needed to be handled discreetly. The third was one of the leaders of a religious order in opposition to the order headed by a royal family member. The forth was mandatory and had to be done in a week. He was to replace a bureaucrat as the Ambassador to Kucen, a coastal nation allied to Cadini. The former ambassador had died of a mysterious cause. While nothing could be proven, foul play was heavily suspected. That was why Kenny was chosen to go and investigate. Being assisted by four retainers that all had maxed out the Offensive Combat tree would be a bonus. Kenny felt pretty confident about his safety.
It was known that Wendelin could pull off a honeypot mission. Kenny still wanted to test out the other symbiotes. Blaze and Orion had the pheromones to attract a target to them. Geralt was also pretty good at fitting in and being very personable While he was thinking about it, the head scientist took the file from his hands and said "I think that Benny will be the perfect candidate for this mission." Kenny did not think so, but that was one task down. There was still more missions. There needed to be someone to set up a second serum deal. There was also an arms deal with a cartel. This had to be kept top secret and therefore it was reserved for a symbiote. Kenny decided to send Brianna, Yvette and Ian out on the assassination missions. Kenny, Blaze and Geralt would do the serum sale. The cartel arms deal could be handled by any one of the symbiotes. He trusted Orion and Wendelin to get the job done. The head doctor said "I need to borrow Gabriella for a special project." That was perfectly fine with Kenny. The further he was from Benny and Gabriella, the better for his safety. They hated him.
