[Scene: Interrogation room. Glitch and Agent 47 face each other, tension thick in the air.]
Glitch: "I propose a deal, Agent 47. For every question you ask about the drive, I will be granted the opportunity to ask a question in return."
Agent 47: [Laughs mockingly] "You truly believe you have any leverage here, Glitch? You're nothing more than a pawn in this game."
[Without warning, Agent 47 swiftly grabs a nearby crowbar, ruthlessly wielding it as a weapon against Glitch. The sound of blows landing fills the room as Glitch desperately tries to defend himself. Despite his best efforts, he is overwhelmed by the merciless assault, and his consciousness fades.]
[Scene: Flashback - 2022. Glitch and Nastor, receive their mission briefing from headquarters. Their objective: to retrieve a highly valuable agent from a maximum-security prison cell.]
Glitch: "Nastor, our orders are to retrieve the agent from that cell. Let's make sure we carry out the mission successfully."
Nastor: [Coldly] "Our orders are clear, Glitch. Follow the mission protocol without hesitation."
[As Glitch and Nastor arrive at the prison, they prepare to execute their mission.]
Glitch: "Nastor, we need to be cautious and ensure the agent's safety during the extraction."
Nastor: [Coldly] "I don't need your reminders, Glitch. Stick to the plan and do as instructed."
[After successfully infiltrating the prison, Glitch and Nastor receive a sudden communication from headquarters, altering their original orders.]
Black Watch Transmission: "Change of plans. Eliminate the agent. Repeat, eliminate the agent immediately."
[Glitch and Nastor exchange tense glances, their loyalty to Black Watch tested by the new directive.]
Glitch: "Nastor, we were supposed to retrieve the agent, not eliminate them. Are we really going to follow these orders without question?"
Nastor: [Coldly] "We are Black Watch agents, Glitch. Our allegiance is to the organization. Orders are to be followed, regardless of personal reservations."
[Despite Glitch's concerns, Nastor's commitment to Black Watch remains steadfast, and they prepare to carry out the operation as instructed.]
Glitch: "Nastor, I can't just eliminate someone without knowing the reason behind it. There must be more to this mission than we're being told."
Nastor: [Coldly] "Glitch, you're new here. You still have a lot to learn about how things work in Black Watch. We follow orders, no matter the circumstances. Trust in the organization."
Glitch wrestles with his conscience, torn between his growing doubts and his loyalty to Black Watch. Deep down, he senses that there's more at play than meets the eye.
As they approach the prison cell, Glitch's hesitation becomes more apparent.
Glitch: "Nastor, are we sure about this? Is there any chance we could find another way?"
Nastor's icy demeanor remains unchanged, his commitment unwavering.
Nastor: "There's no room for doubt, Glitch. We do what we're told. Now, let's get this over with."
With a heavy heart, Glitch reluctantly follows Nastor's lead, entering the prison cell prepared to carry out the elimination.
However, as they approach the agent, Glitch's doubts intensify. He sees fear and desperation in the agent's eyes, a spark of humanity that resonates with his own conflicted soul.
Glitch: "Wait, Nastor! We can't do this. There's something wrong here. We need to find out the truth."
Nastor's patience wears thin as Glitch challenges the established protocol.
Nastor: "Glitch, I won't repeat myself. We follow orders. We eliminate the target. That's our mission."
But Glitch, driven by a growing sense of justice, makes a bold decision. He turns his back on Nastor and the orders of Black Watch, refusing to carry out the act.
Glitch: "I can't do it, Nastor. I won't be a blind pawn in this game. There's more to this than we know, and I won't be part of something I can't understand."
Nastor's cold façade cracks, revealing a flicker of uncertainty in his eyes, as he realizes Glitch's resolve cannot be swayed.
Nastor: "Glitch, you're making a grave mistake. There will be consequences for your disobedience."
With a heavy heart, Glitch leaves the prison cell, leaving Nastor behind and embarking on a path of uncertainty and self-discovery.
As Glitch walks away from the prison cell, troubled by his decision, a sudden gunshot echoes through the corridors. His instincts kick in, and he recognizes Nastor's voice, filled with urgency and distress. Without hesitation, Glitch races back towards the source of the commotion.
When he arrives, he finds Nastor engaged in a fierce struggle with the supposed agent they were ordered to eliminate. It becomes clear that the agent was not only a spy but had turned the tables, intent on killing both Glitch and Nastor.
Glitch swiftly assesses the situation and springs into action. Drawing on his training and instincts, he engages the spy in a fierce and intense battle, fighting for his and Nastor's lives. Each move is precise and calculated, the weight of his decision to defy orders now driving his determination.
The struggle is relentless, but Glitch's skills prove to be a match for the spy's cunning. With a final decisive move, Glitch disarms and incapacitates the agent, ending the threat once and for all. He rushes to Nastor's side, checking for injuries.
Glitch: "Nastor, are you alright?"
As Glitch rushes to Nastor's side, he finds him injured and filled with anger. Nastor's voice trembles with frustration and pain as he speaks.
Nastor: "And this is why we carry out orders, no questions asked."
Glitch's heart sinks as he realizes the weight of the situation. Nastor's injuries and his resentful words serve as a stark reminder of the dangers they face in their line of work. The harsh reality of their missions and the consequences of deviating from orders begin to sink in.
Glitch: "Nastor, I... I couldn't just stand by and kill him without a reason. Something didn't feel right."
Nastor's gaze pierces through Glitch, his anger momentarily softened by confusion.
Nastor: "We are agents, Glitch. Our duty is to follow orders, not question them. You risked our lives and compromised the mission."
Glitch's voice trembles with a mix of determination and uncertainty.
Glitch: "I understand that, Nastor. But blind obedience can lead to grave mistakes. We need to consider the bigger picture and the consequences of our actions. There has to be more to this mission than what we were told."
Nastor's expression wavers, torn between his loyalty to the organization and the realization that Glitch may have a point. He clenches his jaw, struggling to find the right words.
Nastor: "This isn't how it works, Glitch. We follow orders, and that's it. There's no room for doubt or second-guessing."
the flashback ends and we go back to the year 2024
Glitch, still groggy and weakened from the assault, struggles to focus as he regains consciousness. Agent 47 stands before him, a steely gaze fixed on Glitch.
Agent 47: "Welcome back, Glitch. I hope you had a pleasant nap. Now, let's try this again. What was on the drive?"
Glitch's vision blurs for a moment, his body aching from the brutal beating he endured. Despite his vulnerability, a flicker of defiance ignites within him.
Glitch: "Go to hell..."
His voice is barely above a whisper, but the words carry a resolute defiance that surprises even himself. Agent 47's lips curl into a slight smile, a hint of admiration in his eyes.
Agent 47: "Interesting. It seems you're more resilient than I gave you credit for. Let's see how long that defiance lasts."
