[The programming hums beneath the surface, its chaotic screeches calming as it continues to hold full control over the Soldier. The prisoner isn’t fighting back and there are no foreign entities attempting to rip its steely claws away. An ambush is expected, but so far none has come.
The handler standing a few feet away shows no fear in his posture as he speaks. No handler ever should have fear for the Soldier, only those without complete control over the weapon should ever fear its destructive power. The first order is easy to digest, one gear slotting out and another shifting into its place. Covert mission. Do not bring attention to himself is priority one. The second comes less easily, but a termination protocol was an inevitability. No extraction means termination. Return to handler for failure conditions and punishment. If unable to, terminate.
All weapons have a shelf life and the Soldier has his.]
