The Freelancer problem didn't exactly get a good wrap when it came to the terms of the project. Those that knew the projects name and were soldiers themselves were often skeptical of what was going on. But having been soldiers meant that they were going to believe the orders that they were given to them unless they wanted to be court marshaled or even worst. The Project never did like the idea of having loose ends tied to them after all and would happily get rid of those that would become detrimental to the project. Especially when it came to protecting the likes of AI. AI's were a new concept when he first joined the project, there wasn't a lot that was known about them except for the fact that the Director seemed to have an increasing interest when it came to them. No one questioned it, because that was the entirety of the project itself. To help with the Great War against the alien race that wanted to completely destroy humans. The premise was also obtaining an AI and figuring out how a soldier would perform in the field with the help of a computer inside of their head. One that was capable of making millisecond calculations so that nothing could really go one. It made them powerful. Maybe a little bit too powerful. Whenever soldiers were said that a Freelancer would be coming to help them, there wasn't really much of a concern for their own safety, but instead of the safety of others that would be on the opposing side. Freelancers were often regarded as being completely ruthless, and they had to be. They couldn't afford to fail mission after mission or they would be completely kicked out of the program or just get themselves killed. Agent Washington had gone through several missions during his time with the Project, none of which anyone knew and nothing that he was willing to talk about either. Besides, he was pretty sure that everything he knew was confidential.
Agent Washington never really had a relationship with the likes of Agent Texas. He believed that there may be a little bit more to her than she was leading on, and when she arrived in the project everything went to shit when everyone tried to get up higher on the leaderboard. Washington never really cared all that much for the damn leaderboard himself, as he was just wanting to be the best he could possibly be. He was a soldier and had been from a very young age. He hadn't even been trained on Earth itself, and instead was forced to train on a planet that would later explode once the alien race got a hold of it realizing that there were humans on it. He actually did have a family. Two sisters and a mother. He didn't know if they were alive or not, and it may sound trashy, but he didn't go looking for them. He had a job to do after all. Each Freelancer had their specialty. York was great with picking locks. Texas great in combat. Carolina was the martial arts specialists. He was great when it came to his battle rifle and coming up with strategies. Although in the project, he was known for something else that he didn't want to get into with anyone right now. It was embarrassing after all. The armored Smilodon had a lot on the line here, as he couldn't afford to spend every waking moment in the Ascendants. Around a bunch of animals. Which was condescending considering that he was one now. Hearing his name spoken, his helmet covered face turned to look over toward the one called Suiteheart. His confusing was hidden by the helmet as he just looked at her for a moment. "I'm simply gathering intel. I am not threatening him." Agent Washington would state in a logical tone, not in any sort of rude manner. The soldier part of himself was always finding its way to the surface as he didn't know what animals actually held rank in a place like this.
It had been drilled into his very skin to make sure to respect those that were ranked higher than he was. It was out of respect after all. His attention then turned back to Church as the area on the back of his neck where his implant should have been seemed to almost burning each time he did so. Maybe if he actually had a HUD and his suit was actually working, he would be able to just gather information that way. Agent Washington was quick to notice the stance that the dog took when walking in front of Caboose. He wasn't going to offer any form of comfort to the other. His large size was definitely daunting and taking on a dog, in theory, should be fairly easy. The dog explained that he got it from the military. Probably the same place that Caboose had been stationed. Although the base name didn't make sense to him when Caboose had told him originally. Blood Canyon. Not surprising when the Freelancer project had so many different bases scattered in different areas. "What's your name soldier?" Agent Washington would question after the other answered his question. He hadn't arrived soon enough to hear Caboose call out the others name. He only came after everything that happened. Although, he felt like he would be working with the canine considering that Caboose wasn't really... the easiest to get information out of. "My name is Agent Washington." The armored smilodon had no idea if his name would spark any form of memory or even the format for that matter. He had no idea that Church actually knew of Agent Texas. However, when Church stated he had no idea how he got here, Wash could practically feel his hope start to plummet into his stomach. The border collie had to know something right? Either way, the male was being questioned by the inhabitants of this planet. Which he still had no idea what planet he was actually on still, having to do some research here and there. "It's the name of this outpost." Washington would clarify in more of military lingo. Especially if Church was a soldier it would just mean that it would get everyone onto one understanding. He doubted the other would turn down the offer, having nowhere else to go."speech"
