Executive Assistant Patrick Massey was considered an invaluable resource to Bionational and
their interests, often negotiating mergers, in his unorthodox, but effective manner.
He was the clear choice to command Operation Outreach, with an unquestioning loyalty to
his employer and a focus on completing mission objectives by any means necessary.
Massey's accolades were impressive.
MBA from Harvard, Doctorate in corporate law from Cornell - he could have had his pick
of the big two companies.
Insead, he enlisted in the marines.
He recieved the Silver Star for bravery during the oil war, four Purple Hearts, with a few
hundred confirmed kills under his belt.
It had been believed, however, that he didn't enlist out of patriotism.
He liked it.
He commanded a recon unit in the Tansu Rebellion on Wakahashi's World, picked up a few decorations
there.
He had more decoraztions than a christmas tree.
Then, suddenly, an illustrious military career was halted when he was court martialed.
It seems he tried to kill his commanding officer for failure to order his squad to attack a
civilian encampment.
He thought the CO was a coward when he wouldn't order an attack on a group of civilians Massey
thought might be hiding enemy sympathizers.
He knocked the officer senseless and led the attack himself.
Killed eighty-five men, women, and children.
Word is more than half of them got dispatched by Massey personally.
Bionational, aware of his reputation, and seeing the value paid off the militayr tribunal
and hired him immediately.
As Reine was quick to muse on the matter of Massey, "Good help is hard to find, and It's
rare when you find a man who loves his work."
While Bionational had an appreciation for Massey's skillset and methods, they were not
without a particular set of reservations.
A cap of C9 circset had been injected into his hypothalmus, along with a beeper, during
a routine phsyical.
The constingency was that if Massey ever turned on the company, somebody in Security would
only need to get within a klick of him and send a coded pulse—and... blammo!
Massey, however, was aware of the bioexplosive implanted within him.
He sought the services of a private doctor to perform a surgery that would alter the
implant's abilities, without raising any suspision.
He'd kept the locator they'd put in- its tracking in place but disarmed.
He didn't give a damn if they knew where he was for now.
When he decided he didn't want them to know anymore, the beeper would stop sending its
signal as quickly as he could touch a button on his belt.
As long as they let him do his job, Massey wouldn't have any problems with the company.
But if they somehow lost faith, well, there was no point in being unprepared.
Mistakes happened, even though he didn't make them.
Always better to be ready than not.
The job this time was a big one, worth a lot of credits.
For him the money was just a way to keep score.
So far, Massey was winning big.
There wasn't anybody else close.
The company thought it was clever, but they didn't belong in the same class with him.
He was the best.
He intended to keep on being the best for a long, long time.
Massey was married, with a child.
He, of course, never shared the sensitive nature of his work with those closest to him.
Before Massey left for Operation Outreach, hoever, there had been an unexpected matter
of security that suddenly arose.
Dryner and Reine had discussed the situation, still remaining optimistic about their venture
despite the ...situation.
Dryner explained,
"Well, one of the communications people slipped up.
Sent an uncoded file to Massey's residence.
Computer didn't catch it.
Real snafu.
That would have been bad enough, but unfortunately, Massey's son accessed the material.
The boy showed it to his mother.
Neither of them understood the full implications, of course, but they got enough of it to possibly
compromise the mission.
Massey was in the shower when the message came through.
When he got out, his wife started babbling about what they'd seen.
"Massey really had no choice, not if he wanted to maintain security."
"It was SOP, of course, but they had been married for six years.
Even as cover, you'd think he'd want somebody else to do the wetwork on this one.
But he did it himself.
The company made sure the investigative team from the local police were friendlies and
Massey's story about coming home to find them dead was accepted.
The local law figures it as a robbery gone bad or a wilding by somebody clever enough
to bypass building security."
Under the circumstances, Massey performed admirably.
I had the psych boys do a workup on him right before liftoff and he registered well within
tolerable limits.
I wonder how it feels -- being a sociopath, I mean.
I would imagine it's quite liberating.
