《Rise of the Henchman》Chapter 14: New Gear
Advertisement
When I get out of the car, Jason tosses me a bag. “That is your uniform, go change into it and come back outside. Ah, bathroom is the first door on the right.” With that I went it and changed to my new uniform. Steel toed boots, baggy pants, longed-sleeved black shirt, and steampunk goggles.
When I went back out, Jason proceeded to talk again, “Good, now some important information. One of my abilities allows me to view things in different formats, such as infrared, night vision and x-ray to name a few. As for the goggles you are wearing, they also do the same thing as mine does, except they don’t have an attack option. They are my gift to you, once you become a villain, you may keep them, for I give them to all of my successful students.”
“Thanks and what was that about your eyes having an attack option?”
“I have things like heat vision and such. Also any of my abilities are only explained under need to know circumstances.”
“Why are you telling me this?”
“I tell this to all my students because I normally take jobs that are benefited by being able to change the visual perceptions. Now, we are gonna acclimate you to your goggles. They are not something to take lightly, for jobs like assassination and tracking they are absolutely vitale. Also don’t mess around with the goggles, the eyes of most people are very sensitive. So if you make the settings too strong or if you switch through different functions too quickly you could go blind. Finally, if you use them too long they will heat up and quickly at that.”
After that explanation he proceeded to explain the different functions, settings, and how long I should wait from switching from different perspectives. Along with the previously mentioned functions, they can also act as binoculars, ultraviolet light, welders goggles and it has the ability to take pictures and video.
“Ah, one more thing, failure means death. For blacklist missions, anytime you fail one of those you are to be terminated if you are still alive.”
Great learning curve you have there.
