That's a long shit list. You'll be cutting your team in half.
[ fuck shit fuck why did you change your mind, gdi. natasha's on there and jack was just looking at red kids, not red adults, jfc, fuck you dagger. okay natasha's off and that makes it mor managable, but that's still a lot or murders, so still fuck you dagger ]
If you put her on there, you're doing her yourself or finding another assassin. There's plenty of recruits more lethal than me here.
Kill them and it'll be obvious it's you, especially given the report on mission failures just came out. If it's illness, I can mix it in with others, make it just look like an epidemic.
[ because he's not just randomly killing a bunch of other people to make you look less suspicious ]
there's a lengthy pause before the next message is sent in which jack realizes just how very screwed he is in this and regrets speaking to Dagger ever, because he's about to have to kill a whole lot of people and he's going to need so much alcohol to get over this. fuck. ]

Have Gliese send me the order directly. Then I'll do it.
It's logistics, how bad can you actually get with that? Are they planning to give command to a team of recruits? [ logistics seems simple. command makes things difficult. you have to make choices you'd rather not. ]

So we handle discrepancies and dissenters. Blue are the actual attack dogs.
[ so if clary goes off on her fighting the man sort of thing, it could be jack taking care of her. who pushed the big red button on the almina? after a long while, the latter message comes, mostly just because he needs something actually light in this. relatively. ]

On second thought: not Romanoff or Karelin either. I think Mom was Russian in her past life, they're her comrades.
I don't want to die yet.

I agreed to 'as close to death as possible'.
no subject
I've worked with less. I don't need anyone who's useless to my team.
And I haven't agreed to Arya Stark.
This could be longer. New Reds haven't started their homework yet.

She trusts you. There's only about five recruits here that can claim that. You'll do it.
And don't worry about that, I've got you covered.
no subject
She trusts Barnes, not me. I've hardly even met her. Have him do it.
I'm not on your team. If Gliese tells me to, I have to. Not you.
no subject
I wasn't talking about Stark. Who do you think told me about your plants?
[ What do Alina, Sturmhond, Adrien, and November have in common? ]

Fray's still safe?
no subject
Fair enough.
If you come through, she is.
We actually want you to succeed, you know. Not like you can't do it.
no subject
You're asking me to assassinate people specialized in covert ops.
[ just pointing it out. if you want him killing people like natasha romanoff, you're putting a lot on faith. ]
no subject
Bitching your way through life isn't going to get you anywhere. If you don't have the balls to do it, I won't hold it against you.
I'll find someone else. No deal.
no subject
Do I get put on a shit list too if I back out now?
What happens to Fray?
no subject
Well, she failed.
I'm just asking you to try your best here.

I'll figure it out. Just have Gliese send the order.

Come to Red. I appreciate you more than these guys ever will.
no subject
Gliese is a lot more sane than you. Sorry.
FROM: benjamin.jonathan@cdc.org
And Gliese never told someone to cut my dick off.
[ btw, that was him Elena was talking about. srysry. ]

Trust me, you wanna get out of Blue while you can.
And don't lie to people next time.
no subject
Why? What's wrong with Blue?
What did I even lie about? [ for real, he doesn't get it ]
no subject
Are you seriously telling me none of you Blues ever wondered why, out of the four teams, it's the captain's team that has it easiest thus far.

You didn't tell me what I lied about.
no subject
You haven't figured it out yet?
Don't ever say nobody didn't warn you.
no subject
I didn't pin you for being frustratingly vague as of yet. If I'd figured it out already I wouldn't be asking. And that's a double negative.

You know what happened to Simon? I don't, because I don't want to.

Blue is where people who can handle power go. And you can't, the way you're going.
