“Now that is a strange feeling,” the white-suited man said as he blinked his eyes and cleared his head as he woke up bleary with his senses seeming to creep back into alignment.

“Hello,” Nathan said, pulling his arm off the man’s neck and walking around to the other side of the desk and looking down at him from behind his silver helmet, “my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.”

The suited man looked up at the Archon, seemingly unphased by the threat. “Quite possibly, though I don’t recognize the name.”

“Or the movie, apparently,” Nathan said, tapping an armored finger on the desk in between them. “Let’s recap. Your facility is in our control. Your security teams have been neutralized. You’re not escaping. There are a lot of unconscious people around for me to chat with, but you were the best dressed so I decided to start with you. Shall we have a chat or should I return you to dreamland and try someone else?”

“I have no illusions of escape, Archon, and I’d much prefer to spend the next few moments awake, if you don’t mind,” the slightly aged man said, leaning back in his chair casually as if he was in control of the situation and not Star Force.

“Name?” Nathan asked, getting a weird vibe from the man.

“I am simply known as Agent.”

“Wrong color suit for that…and you’re missing the sunglasses.”

Agent reached inside his jacket, pausing his hand and glancing at Nathan for permission, then he pulled out a pair of opaque white-lensed glasses that he slipped onto his face, matching the color of his suit as well as hiding his eyes from view. “Better?”

“Why the suit and not the uniform?” Nathan said, realizing this guy was willing to play the word game. He switched off his helmet’s external audio and switched to transmission mode. “Heads up guys. Keep an eye out for reinforcements. Got a talker who’s overly confident.”

“Higher intellect is rewarded with better style,” Agent said, glancing at the other man in the room and his thick, dull grey uniform.

“And an office,” Nathan added.

“A necessity more than a perk, given my position.”

“Which is?”

“I organize and coordinate this facility.”

“Did,” Nathan pointed out.

“As you wish…I did run this facility. By the way, the laptop will be of no use to you. I already deleted the contents.”

Nathan glanced at the open screen situated out of arms reach from the man but still on the desk. “And that would be?”

“A false cover while the purge continues. I imagine that by now all the linked data systems within the facility are also quite useless.”

“Something you don’t want us to see?”

“Many things,” Agent admitted. “I must congratulate you on discovering and infiltrating this facility…well, discovering it anyway. The infiltration wasn’t subtle and gave us time to clean up, though you certainly didn’t have trouble breaking through security. Star Force is rather good at such things, despite espousing a peaceful agenda, wouldn’t you agree?”

“I don’t recall Davis ever describing us as
