They stand at attention as if in the military. All eyes are on me, as they should be. “The six of you are directly working for me on this job, and you will only take orders from me for now on. I have chosen you six because after me you’re the best of the best. I’m not going to lie to you and say all of us will survive this job at hand because we will not. This will be your hardest, most demanding harvest job of your careers, period, end of frickin’ story. You will see things only researched on at the Academy and had nightmares about in your deep slumber. You will do things you thought you’d never have to. Now, with all that said, do all of you still want to volunteer to attack the nucleus of the Underworld fighting side by side with me? If you don’t, don’t be ashamed and leave now for reassignment.” I scan over everyone and spot a bit of fear and intimidation, but nobody leaves. I nod at them because I am proud of them all.
