Worse case scenario wasn't something that was really dealt with all that often. Sure failing missions could be considered the worst case scenario, but back in the day in his mind, having someone killed was the worst case scenario. There were several instances where one would end up getting killed because of either equipment malfunction or something else. Losing a soldier wasn't that big of an issue unless they were an asset. They were cannon fodder when it came to the aspects of war. There would always be someone else that would be willing to fill their shoes. That didn't mean it felt any better just to be manipulated all the time. In fact, it was infuriating when Washington finally learned the truth. Part of him wondered what it would be like for him to be as naive as he once was. That he was the good guy that was taking care of the enemies that were going to end up with the extinction of humanity. That's what every soldier wanted right? To do good. And yet here he was. He hadn't had any time to use the telescope that was in the territory, but there was something else he wanted to do first. He wanted to make sure that he had at least his bearings on where he was. The Freelancer needed to establish some sort of perimeter. Just because the animals that lived here were willing to let him in without question, he appreciated to some degree. But that didn't mean the soldier was just going to spill everything to them while he was around. He didn't trust them. He didn't trust anyone. If a Freelancer suffered the same fate and was to find him as well, Agent Washington would be quick to threaten their life for information. The memories that he had wouldn't help him here unless there were other former humans around that he could talk to. Where were all the humans in the first place? The observatory had obviously been abandoned before being picked up by the animals that currently live here. So, humans still existed on this world? If this was even earth or was some other planet.
He hadn't seen anything alien, other than what he considered to be aliens in the form of talking animals. But he was somewhat passed that now even if it was strange for him to consider. The dark slate grey smilodon was walking near the edges of the territory to get an idea of just how big it was. He did ask an NPC a couple of questions because he didn't have the capability of taking care of scents when he wore his Mark 6 helmet. The extinct wildcat needed to make sure that he didn't overstep his bounds just yet, as he didn't know what this world consisted of either. If he just had his rifle this would make everything so much easier. Occasionally while walking around memories would form into his head, causing him to have a headache. He hadn't slept since he arrived in this place, and he was fine with that. The large male was covered in the likes of body armor on the front half of him. He wore a helmet, a chest plate, and armor across his arms. It had helped when he fell from the sky. Which didn't sound accurate but others had said otherwise when they literally told him they saw him fall from the sky. The Freelancer then noticed something out of the corner of his eye. He noticed something shiny. The lion-sized animal stopped in his tracks and turned his head. The lights in his helmet illuminating his face, but not showing anything behind his golden visor. Agent Washington came to stand up on a hill and looked down from where he saw what was shining. There was.... another animal. He knew what a dog looked like, despite being more of a cat person when he was, well, a person. He stayed there for a couple of seconds before he was able to figure out what was causing the shining. It was a helmet. A Mark 5. Meaning it was an outdated helmet. But, it was armor from the UNSC anyway. That meant that the other either was from where he came from. Or. He had found it somewhere. "You there!" Washington shouted in a commanding voice as he trotted down the hill and made his way over toward the golden retriever, easily towering over the canine. He kept at least five feet of distance between him and the other male. "Where did you find that helmet?" Washington asked, his voice slightly muffled behind his voice. The wildcat had asked in a commanding voice, expecting an answer immediately. "speech"
