(at Cabin)
BAIZHI- (gulp)
???- (looks at his ID) Alright, dude, have you not gone through all protocols and stuff? [NAME: UTF, EXECUTIVE, GUILD LEADER OF THE ORACLE EYE, MASTERY 2 IN DATA VISION, MASTERY 1 IN WORLD MASON, MASTERY 1 IN SOUL MOTION, MASTERY 1 IN ECHO PULSE]
BAIZHI- I did- And I am also aware of the no-combat policy too-
UTF- Really? Saying that you're aware of the policy when you clearly broke the policy, buddy.
BAIZHI- I was trying to defend-
UTF- Yes. Initially, you were, but after that, you tried to hit him back.
BAIZHI- Am I supposed to get hit (;-;)?
UTF- No. Use your terminal to tase the violator. You're not supposed to hit them unless serious crimes. (keeps his hand on his head in disappointment) This is why I would never lead a department because of new SPs like you.
BAIZHI- My apologies...
UTF- Well, at least you apologised. Since you're new, I'm letting you go. Doesn't matter if you have a year to live; don't repeat such mistakes again. No need to go vigilant, okay?
BAIZHI- Yeah. (...) Wait what-
UTF- Yes. I'm aware of your condition. Ramos has informed other Executives about you.
BAIZHI- Oh, right... I remember him telling me about it.
(someone knocks at the door)
UTF- Oh my goodness... come in.
RAMOS- (gets inside) Lol, how's the unc doing?
UTF- Stressed.
RAMOS- Lemme guess, Chemistry again?
UTF- F**k you.
RAMOS- Lol. And, why's Baizhi here?
UTF- Oh well, he beat up a violator on the streets.
RAMOS- Dayum!!! (hugs him sideways) How hard did you hit him?
UTF- RAMOS-
BAIZHI- (;-;)
RAMOS- Hey, c'mon, he's learning. Go easy on him, lol.
UTF- Yeah, but can you not spoil him like that?
RAMOS- Chill, I can see him becoming responsible with time. I can already see that with my-
UTF- Yeah, yeah, your blessing from Mirau himself, bla bla bla.
RAMOS- Correct, lol. But yeah, UTF is right, Baizhi. You need to follow the protocols strictly, okay? No need to build a bad image of you and the SP Forces.
BAIZHI- Got it.
RAMOS- See UTF? This is how you correct someone.
UTF- Pfft, sure.
RAMOS- (whispers to Baizhi) Don't take him deeply, he's always like that from the outside. But from inside, he's a pretty cool guy.
UTF- I can hear everything, Ramos.
RAMOS- Oop- :P
UTF- (sigh) Anyways, go back to your cabin now, Baizhi.
BAIZHI- Right.
(he comes out of his cabin)
Man, it was hard for me to control my laugh seeing them.
I wonder if this happens on a regular basis, I would double my shift if it does xD
Oh, right, the Patrol Department leader called me in his cabin regarding my request to join. I shall head there.
.
(in his cabin)
??????- So, you're the one who applied for the Patrol Department. [NAME: MILLER, LEADER OF PATROL DEPARTMENT, GUILD LEADER OF THE SCRIPTED INK, MASTERY 3 IN PRIMAL SKETCH]
BAIZHI- Yes.
???- Also, the one who beat up a violator.
BAIZHI- (;-;)
MILLER- Joe.
JOE- Sorry. [NAME: JOE, SSP IN PATROL DEPARTMENT]
MILLER- Miller's sure now you know what you did wrong.
BAIZHI- Yeah... I won't repeat it again.
MILLER- Good. Anyways, you're in.
BAIZHI- Whoa- No test or anything?
MILLER- As long as you follow the protocols and take actions responsibly, you can stay in the department. But Miller will remove you the moment Miller sees you abusing your position.
BAIZHI- I won't do that.
MILLER- Good. Since you're still relatively new, Joe will guide you with our workflow. There's really nothing much to do except arresting the violators and appealing the violators once their time is over in prison.
BAIZHI- Got it.
MILLER- Joe.
JOE- Rest assured, I'll guide him.
MILLER- Alright then.
.
(outside, in the hallway)
JOE- (sigh) Not gonna lie, you look like a damn clown.
What- Me?
BAIZHI- Why so-
JOE- Just look at yourself. You look like you got beaten up.
BAIZHI- Bruh (T-T)
JOE- Anyways... here's the summarised protocol you need to remember. Tase them, put a fine on them and resolve the issue. If they have tons of violations or pending fine, arrest them. Easy peasy.
BAIZHI- Understood.
JOE- You better be. Because I am not repeating again.
This guy is equivalent to that Trakktor guy. And he's my senior.
I'm so washed (T-T)
JOE- I'll go now, I have to look after some prisoners.
BAIZHI- Okay...
(He leaves.)
Well, that makes it clear that not all SPs here are nice. I mean, they are, kind of.
I don't know, bruh.
.
(after a few hours, in the cabin)
BAIZHI- (looks through reports on PC)
KAE- Baizhi!!!!!
BAIZHI- AH- Jeez, you scared me.
KAE- Hehe. I actually want to tell you something.
BAIZHI- Oh, what is it?
KAE- We are getting new SP trainees for our departments!!!!!
BAIZHI- Whoa, really?
KAE- And I want you to help lead them.
BAIZHI- M-Me...?
KAE- Since Reposed left the department last month, and a few of our SPs are on leave. The only SSP in our department, Xyloril, is also not available. And you are already aware of my bad health... That's why I want you to train the new trainees.
BAIZHI- I don't know if I could do that well.
KAE- It's fine. I know you can do it, since you have been through tough times, like being the only trainee in your batch.
BAIZHI- Hmm. The reason why I don't have many people to talk with me like others have.
KAE- It's totally alright!! You can build a good image in front of new trainees (^^)
I don't know if I'm capable of this, but for her health...
BAIZHI- I'll do it.
KAE- Thank you!!! You're such a sweet person.
BAIZHI- (blushes) Oh, um, thanks-
.
(the next day, at trainee room)
BAIZHI- Alright, who do we have here... Popzular?
POPZ- Yes sir.
BAIZHI- (...) I'll appreciate less formality (;-;) Anyways, Neo?
NEO- Yes!!!
BAIZHI- Uh, if im reading this correctly, Bagels?
BAGELS- Yes.
What a name (;-;)
BAIZHI- And (...) Tsukami???
TSUKAMI- Yeah. What?
This dude... He did appreciate me for my assistance at the festival. But later, he just started hating me because of how "cringe" I act. I don't like him at all.
Plus, he's a former SP so I'm not even gonna bother him at all.
BAIZHI- Whatever... Serenity?
SERENITY- YES!!!!!!!!!!
BAIZHI- And (...) Huh? Knight?
KNIGHT- Hi there. [NAME: KNIGHT, A CELEBRITY WITH TONS OF POPULAR CONNECTIONS]
BAIZHI- Dude, what are you doing here?
KAE- He's here with assistance. I approached him specially for that :>
BAIZHI- Ah yes.
I remember Knight dealing with a case against RD, one of the most corrupt cooperations, where their owner dated a minor...
Don't wanna remember that, but the way this guy won that case against the owner genuinely impresses me. I'm friend with him for a long time now.
BAIZHI- A true gold mine lol. I don't even need to train you; you're already good at your job.
KNIGHT- Thank you (bows his head)
BAIZHI- And at last, we have (...) huh?
WALEED- Ugh.
What is this guy doing here?
