-down in the basement, Jack prepares himself-

-as he breathes deeply-

-clutching a knife in one hand, he stretches into a readied pose-

-closing his eyes-

-he swipes at the air with purpose, making cuts in the air with the knife-

"This guy embezzled how much...?"

(Michael is looking over some data, again. Geez, how much of a workaholic is this guy?)

...Hmm, I should ask Iok whether setting up a supply post near here is viable...

-Jack continues to cut at air in the basement with his eyes closed-

-certainly not at random-

-there's definitely intent behind each strike-

(Well, he hasn't exactly noticed you either, Misha.)

How much do I want to bet people are going to lambast me for something that mundane, though?

(Ah, but he hears that.)

(He's looking in your direction, Misha.) I haven't seen you around here before.


(Jack, could it be? There's someone in the basement with you.)

Wait, what does this place need a shooting range for?

-without opening his eyes, Jack replies-

Because people get restless, and must practice their aim, I imagine.

Especially if such individuals were of a military calibre.

After all-

-he punctuates it with another swipe at the air with his knife-

-before slowly opening his eyes-

There's hardly a way out of here for most.

And not many come here on purpose.

(Oh, hey, turns out that voice belongs to a young man in a uniform.) Not by choice? That's a bit unnerving...


You seem to be pretty busy.

Gamblers are perfectly comfortable with having their paths dictated by things such as luck- beyond their control.

They chance their savings on probability, and yet they smile and enjoy it.

If having ones' fate controlled by something other was so unnerving, gambling wouldn't exist, wouldn't you think?

-he smiles slightly, putting his knife away-

Hmm. What sort of company, may I ask?

Though I suppose for myself...

Fate's something I'm rather comfortable with.

-he laughs for a solid minute-

I already do.

Because a lot of people think fate's only one path.

But it's many.

A web of possibilities.

Like someone creating a simulation that accounts for every single outcome?
