Order has its advantages. Infrastures, jobs, and million dollar budgets have been built around keeping the peace. Hell, even deathdealing is a product of this industry.
I mean - everybody's doing it, right?
But yesterday - in between my fifth cup of coffee and lunch - a phone call from The Agency forced me to pose the following question: Who or what is the causal agent of order?
The Agency has decided to offer me a chance to re-classify. It appears that the system that maintains order may be working too well. More order has bred less crime and run-of-the-mill chaos. Less shenanigans have decreased the need for security and deathdealers, and so on and so forth.
Granted, it's been a week since my last assigment, but the off time has given me a newfound appreciation of naps and local bars. Plus, you never know when you'll get a 10 target week.
So this new opportunity may be the change I need. Society has grown stagnant in its false sense of safety, and while there still were small sparks of robberies and low level crime, the powers that be see there is a need for profesional intervention.
I would be a firestarter - reminding folks that the boogieman is indeed real and scaring the riffraff and occasional psychopath into hiding. The offer sounds pretty cool, but I'll need a few days to think about it.
I don't know if I'd be comfortable committing random crime, albeit staged. I mean, I recently just got comfortable with shooting a target in the back.
