“Good. Keep a list. Nepotism will not be allowed, but they will be given first chance at an interview. If they have skills, find the right placement for them. Next,” David said, as a waiter brought him a plate of eggs, grits, and bacon.
“The mayor has authorized a name change from the Timothy building to the Perth Center.” Meyers continued.
“Good enough. We can change it later if something better comes up. It is at the center of town anyway. We can build a new Harbinger headquarters in the new district to attract more business there anyway.” David said and he glanced at the guard who had been sitting stiffly next to them.
“Ah, this is gua

She looked up at him from behind a swollen eye and winced “But I didn’t make it. Hellish place you got there.”“Get better, and you can come train with me.” David said as he nodded to the medics to take her to the hospital.“We will see.” Hensley said as her lip began to swell.David smiled down at her and waved the medics on before returning to the control room. Flashing on the screen was 45:29.“Damn. She was doing good. She was right on time to do that in an hour.”David leaned into the mic and said, “Alright full reset and then take an hour break. We will run the next set after lunch.”By the end of the day, of the 560 hopeful recruits, only 45 managed to complete the first level, but only Callan and Hensley had done so within the given hour.David addressed the hopefuls in the courtyard, “I only have time for those who completed the first level. Those who did

David followed the crowd of dejected fighters back out of the training facility and stood behind them as the Tryon clansmen knelt before Hensley.“I told you it was possible. Now, I believe you wanted a chance to save face. If you can make it through in under one hour, you can keep Callan and I will contract the security detail to Tryon. I will even sweeten the pot. 50k dret for every level you complete. I believe your man Callan made it only a little bit into level two.”Hensley licked her lips, nervous tension making her hands shake slightly.David watched her carefully. He judged she now had a healthy respect for his level of expectation, but he still saw potential in her. He wanted to make sure she had the right incentives to push for more than she thought she was capable of.“Set it up.” Hensley said.This time, it would be the standard run, with only three huntsmen, one for each of the upper levels. Still, it was a dau

Over the next week, contractors continued to put finishing touches on the training ground while other crews began to break ground on the first factory in the new industrial area. A third crew brought in heavy equipment and set to clearing a section of forested land for a new neighborhood that would be dedicated to Harbinger workers and staff in the future.David was disappointed that Sarah had not fought harder within her family to secure the Harbinger contract. Instead, Steven had been waiting at the Perth Center almost every day, attempting to sign the contract.Meyers had expressed his interpretation of the events and suggested waiting them out to see if Sarah would get a chance when Steven utterly failed.David was of a mind to ignore the situation all together. While the Harlow group might offer some entry level skills and industry knowledge, he was not going to go out of his way to grace them with a lucrative contract if they could not abide by simple requ

David gave chase, enjoying once again having a worthy opponent to spar with.Nyx charge the first floor, weaving over and under barriers, diving head first into low tunnels and scurrying through a maze of loose hanging wire entanglements. David kept up, pacing himself just a breath behind her.While he was only just a tad faster than her, he wanted to see the whole course in action. Nyx would be one of the few who could flawlessly complete it at a speed worthy of his efforts.This course was designed to push ones endurance as well as demanded a high level of agility, quick thinking, and total awareness of ones surroundings. Fighting in such a challenging environment was not a matter of simply evading your pursuer but figuring out how to use every element to move you into position to strike while attempting to mitigate your opponents advantages.As they entered the second floor, There were a series of thick metal walls and door ways laid out to resemble an

Several days later, Mayor Hedley stood at a podium in front of the small sheriff’s office talking to the press.“We are not yet sure if this was motivated by the recent decline of the Timothy family business, but we are investigating. Now, I want to turn this over to Mr. Meyers, the Harbinger group’s spokesman.”“Thank you mayor Hedley. Citizens, I want you to know that the Harbinger group is committed to the city of Perth and it is our pledge that something like this will not be permitted to happen in the future. While we planned to have this as a joyous occasion to rename the tower as the Perth Center, instead, we stand here to dedicate it to those lives lost.”There was a moment of somber silence before Meyer’s continued.“Harbinger Group intends to see all of its staff safe, so today we are announcing a five BILLION dret investment in a new security firm that will work hand in hand with the existing Pert

David chuckled and then intoned, “For liberty to prevail, the rulers must be warned from time to time that their people still posses a spirit of resistance. What are a few lives lost, when shed to preserve the people? The tree of liberty, the great ideal, must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is nature’s manure. See to it that most of that blood comes from the evil doers who violate the basic laws of life.”“And what basic laws are those?” the sheriff asked, “Cause the law of the realm is not to kill.”“Life, liberty, and your own property. These are basic tenants of the world. You forfeit your right to these when you take them from another.” David answered.“And you will carry out such a sentence?”“I will. Now, I have other things to do. See to this. I will have a crew here tonight to clean up.”“What about a report? What a
