Wordlessly, they made their way out of the Star Fleet areas of the city and, once clear, Vonn was back to the armored Breen. “I hope he likes the work we did. I usually get triple pulling things like that on short notice.” the helmet said.

“Well, as you said, we both had to audition for the job. Now the question is, do we copy the data drive before we take it to him?” The question had nothing to do with ethics or honor, but self preservation. Vonn seemed to trust Hyrushi to an extent. They had an understanding. Eryn planned to visit the man and determine for herself when she felt better. James was an unknown. The governor’s reasons for making use of James was also an unknown. Eryn was not opposed to having information to leverage with later on if it became necessary. “I am sure James is aware of your normal fee. We have the drive, he can pay for it or we can keep it. He knew the risk of getting it himself and it was too high. He wants this. He assumes we need and want the work, and therefore he can get by without paying. Perhaps he is wrong.” Truth was they needed income, but Eryn’s art, and the trunk of latinum Vonn rescued from her shuttle would keep them for a bit.

The Breen was silent for a long moment before the helmet said “Or the drive is bait to see if we can be trusted. He is, after all, putting together an intel agency from the ground up. If I were in his shoes, I would test my candidates.”

Vonn

Eryn smirked, “Of course he’s testing us. The issue is what is the answer he is looking for? Does he want blind loyalty? Which is what he would get if we don’t look into what he’s asking us to do. Or does he wants us to do what every good intel officer would do: collect all information possible. It’s also possible it’s an offer of sorts. Information about him and what he was doing previously in exchange for us doing the same. Each possibility has its own benefits and downfalls. But information obtained once can always be collected again.” Eryn shrugged. No matter what the right answer might be Eryn wasn’t likely to trust James any time soon, or anyone else for that matter, other than Kodek. “If he really was with Section, I can certainly empathize with his desire to leave no unfinished business and ensure he’s gotten away.” Eryn looked up through the dome as they walked. She’d never been so indecisive in her life - any of them. It was an uncomfortable feeling. They had already agreed between them that they were going to do this, so copying the disk was a moot point. “К чёрту (To the Devil),” she muttered darkly.

Romanov

The helmet said “Give me the drive. Meet me back at the apartment in five hours.” and a gauntleted hand reached out, palm up.

Vonn

Without hesitation, Eryn’s hand rested in his gauntlet for a moment. When her hand pulled away, the drive sat there. Without a word she walked away toward a green space she had noticed earlier.
