Ilias paused and thought for a moment.

"Hmmm." he mumbled.

"Well, I'm guessing that, from the little bits you've said about yourself, you haven't had the best past." he said.

"And I won't pry into that." he stated.

"But how did you escape that life? How'd you come to this place?" he asked her.

Ilias's eyes widened a little when she said that.

"Oh... oh wow." he said.

"I don't know what that something was, and I think I'm better off not knowing." he commented. "But the fact that your friend had the morality and strength of character to bring you here is quite something." he continued.

"I hope things just keep getting better for you." he went on.

"You seem nice enough to deserve that, at the very least."

"Rene?" Ilias asked.

"...long shot, but Rene Calder?" he then asked.

"Why... yes. Yes, it was." Sabrina responded. "You know him?" she asked. "And how'd you guess that?" she asked further.

"I do know him." Ilias confirmed. "In passing. Like, I know who he IS, and we've talked a few times, but... that's about it." he said. "And I guessed that because he is literally the only Rene I know, and wanted to see if it lined up." he chuckled.

"A shot in the dark that managed to hit." he said further, continuing to laugh a little.

"Anyway, still, glad he helped you escape your previous life, and come here."

Ilias just gave her a thumbs-up.

"I was just about getting ready to leave, myself." he told her.

"Did some weights earlier to keep my upper body in shape, and was just cooling down." he said further. "Figure I'll be here for another 10 minutes or so before I head to work." he reasoned.

"Was nice meeting you, Sabrina." he then told her.

"Hope to see you more in the future."

"Later!" Ilias called to her.

Over the following hours, Sabrina spent her time exploring the Unit, but it was mostly familiarising herself with the place. She explored around, committed certain areas to memory, and had a bit of a late lunch. She made her way back to her dorm, where she sat down, and her phone started to ring.

"...timing." she commented to herself, as he picked it up.

"Hello?" she answered it.

"Sabrina, this is Agent Sharp." Hal responded. "I would like you to meet the agent that will be accompanying you on the sting." he told her. "And I would like you to come to my office ASAP, please." he continued.

"Do you need someone to help you get there, or do you think you can navigate here yourself?" he asked.

"That works." Sharp responded. "See you when you get here." he finished.

With that, they said goodbye and ended the call. She hung up, stood up, stretched out slightly, and then proceeded to leave her dorm, locking the door as she did so, and then navigated her way up to Sharp's office. Once there, the receptionist, Arryn, notified sharp that she was there, and when she was given the go-ahead, she gestured for Sabrina to enter the office.

Which she did. She opened the door and stepped into said office, closing the door behind her, and saw Sharp's familiar face behind the desk, as well as a new face, belonging to another man, sitting in the area in front of the desk. He looked to be in his 30's, and had a bit of a haggard appearance. Not extreme or anything, but he definitely had the look and aura of a man that seemed like he had had experiences far greater and numerous than any other man in his 30's.

"Sabrina, this is agent Tyson King." Sharp introduced her.

"Agent King, Sabrina." he then said to Tyson.

"Ty." Tyson told her, standing up and extending his hand.

Ty looked just as surprised, and then smirked.

"Well, well." he said. "You are amazingly perceptive." he commented.

"I agree." Hal interjected, raising an eyebrow.

"You are correct, I am human. No mana, nothing." Ty then confirmed. "And... well, your statement of my not being able to die is correct, but at the same time, can technically say is INcorrect." he continued.

"I've met the reaper many a time." he said. "Buuuuut it never sticks." he laughed.

"How did you determine that, anyway?" he asked her.

"Ahhh, I see, I see." Ty responded.

"Well, seeing as I now know what YOU are, and you know... somewhat about me, I may as well complete that information." he reasoned with a small laugh, as the two sat down in their chairs.

"I am a Regenerator." he revealed.

"And I have been around for... a VERY long time..." he admitted.

"But that should help put what you got a read on into some semblance of making sense."

"Appreciate it." Ty responded.

"Anyway." Sharp then said, getting their attention. "Agent King will be accompanying you, as he can take as much damage as needed in order to keep you or others from being unnecessarily injured." he told her.

"Which is another way of saying that, if you start losing yourself to your emotions, and I need to try and help calm you down, I can take a heat-of-the-moment attack, even if it's fatal." Ty translated.

"I go on a lot of missions where the chances of fatal injury are high." he continued.

"Some agents are indispensable. Some are disposable. I'm both. Simultaneously." he smirked.

Sharp leaned forward a little, and narrowed his eyes.

"We have a plan." he told her.

"We'll put a glamour on you to make it look like you still have that branding." he said. "When you are taken back in, do what you need to do to try and weaken then." he continued.

"You'll be outfitted with a hidden wire so that we'll be able to hear everything, and if it gets too hairy, we're going in." he went on.

"Or if you feel it's time, you'll say a special code phrase." he then said further.

"That phrase being 'Damn it, it's hot in here'..." he finished.
