"Good morning everyone, and I wish you success in your work today. First of all, I have to make an announcement. As you know, our duties, which are the key to our work, were stopped for a short time due to the recent incident. However, our duties are now returning. Remember, no whining. Otherwise, we all know what kind of sanctions will be applied. I will give the details of the duties to be distributed to everyone soon. Now get back to work."
The interesting conversations of the employees sitting at their desks continued slowly after this announcement. At that moment, Ivan and Orion, like the other employees, started a small conversation among themselves. However, as a result of the employees focusing on the announcement instead of their work, Deputy Chief Quinn Elzar intervened in the rather mysterious conversations.
"Don't ever let your guard down just because an important announcement was made. I understand why you are so excited about such announcements. However, you must know the outcome of leaving your work unfinished. Now, as Head Chief Brady said, get back to work immediately."
After this speech by Quinn, the employees are forced to return to work. Although there are those who do not keep quiet except for Ivan and some old employees, those who speak despite knowing what their job is are punished. The punishment for those who sabotage the employees during work is to make them do harder work than what they were doing. After the employees were punished, the other employees went on break after a long time passed.
"I still don't understand why some people act like this. It's like they do it on purpose and it happens all the time. I can't understand people, they're damned."
"You should learn to calm down a bit, Orion. I don't care about most of them. Every person is responsible for their own life. Even if they are new, they should do the job given to them respectfully. If they can't do it, it is a blessing for them to be punished."
"Sometimes I can't understand you, buddy. You were saying the same things I said the other day. What has changed now?"
"Nothing has changed. I am still the same person you knew. Or have you forgotten what I am?"
Ivan bursts out laughing after these words and then continues his joke-filled conversations with Orion until the end of the break. The employees who return to their jobs after the break continue to work in a stressful environment. This job, where you don't get hurt for one mistake but are subjected to harsh words and punishments for more, has the assassins' communication network. Ivan and his colleagues compile the information given by the assassins. Considering that this job progresses in layers, Ivan is one of the people who compile and collect the information.
"We must make some preparations before the missions that will be given to us. We know that precautions are important since the difficulty of the missions varies. Finish your preparations before the dates that will be given to you. We do not want even one person to die during the missions. However, those who do not or will not take my previous statements seriously will be subject to severe punishment. Finally, you will split into groups of two and carry out the missions given to you. If you have no questions, our conversation ends here... I guess no questions. I wish everyone success in their missions."
The meeting about the return and distribution of missions to the employees ended after 1 hour. Ivan and the other employees who started their preparations continued to work until the day they were divided into groups of two.
"I probably won't work with you Ivan. When we were a duo, we never got to work with you. Sorry man. Sorry again."
"We've closed that subject. It doesn't matter to me who comes to me. It's okay that we can't go on missions together."
"I know, I know, but I wanted to say it anyway. I thought that not being able to go on missions with you was making us both sad, I was wrong."
"We're not little kids. I know that you going on missions more than I going on missions makes these words understandable. But rules are rules. Besides, even the subject we're talking about right now is shit, let's close it. Because of you, I started talking nonsense too."
"Okay, okay, I'm sorry. I was waiting for you to tell me I was talking nonsense and I did it."
"If that's enough jokes, I'm going home now. I'm not energetic enough to mess with you."
"You shouldn't have talked like I saw you were energetic, Ivan. I need to reel this off. See you tomorrow."
"W-What, s-stop you won't, Orion. You bastard. If you do, you'll destroy my non-existent reputation, you idiot."
After the comedy-filled conversation between Ivan and Orion, the two of them went home and ended another day. They started to concentrate fully while doing both work and mission work. As the days passed slowly, the mission preparations continued at full speed.
