The upper management of SIT had been divided on how to deal with Rayne for a long time and her return had caused unrest within the organization.
Some wanted the power that Rayne possessed for themselves so they wanted to study her in more detail so that they could gain it.
It was a power that could counter so many of them and it made them wary of her existence.
She may have been used to free them from the shackles that were the contracts but those things had been forgotten over the years.
They were less grateful for being freed and greed took hold of them as they wanted much more and would not be willing to give it up.
Many were hoping for Rayne to end up being put on an experiment table and to be studied and dissected.
Others were hoping that she would die so that they could study her corpse.
Grill was assigned to the team of Rayne so that they could always keep tabs on her.
They would know if she was going to turn against them and hold off several worries that some higher-ups had about her.
Those in support of Rayne being left alive to see what she could do for SIT were around half of the higher-ups and those people were already having some difficulty convincing the others who had differing opinions.
Grill would be at the side of Rayne for as long as they wanted and he would never be a true ally to her or anyone in the team.
The team of four passed through some mountains as they went deeper and deeper.
Grill followed behind as he did not take the initiative in the mission. It was like he was observing everything and would only be active if anything important came up all of a sudden. 'For someone so new to being introduced to training and the serums, this girl has adapted very quickly.'
His gaze turned to Lexi who was moving slightly faster than Rayne. 'Lexi must have put her through some hellish training.'
Lexi looked back to meet his gaze while thinking to herself. 'This guy is such a bother... I never liked him even when I was in ALCHEMI.'
Three of the team leapt around quickly while Hogan used magic to fly.
