[As Tex takes off her helmet, that hologram gets to his feet. He's about to start forward, to tell her not to, to somehow get her to stop because he doesn't know what the Director put under that armor, but he knew it wasn't a person. Not... a person like she would remember being. And he doesn't want that for her.
But then, the helmet is off. And he's staring at her-- skin and hair and a face, and he has to pause because that's-- he knows that's not how it was. AI development was still new, still a military secret. The UNSC wouldn't just make bodies for them, their lifespans weren't worth the cost.]
Uh. [He's caught between answering her and demanding to know what the hell he was looking at, teetering one way and then the other until finally, he decides to fall back on facts. On what he knows, rather than the thing he can't explain.] I remember everything I should?
I'm program designation Alpha, implemented to assist Freelancer Agents in ending the war as quickly as possible. Meant to assist the functionality of suit implants in the field. [He hates how clinical that all sounds. But hey, if she's asking.]
You're Agent Texas, top of the leaderboard. The Director's ace in the hole.
