Why do you think I hired you, Dynamo? I don't fancy throwing money at the incompetent.
A pile of which is still waiting for you, I might add.
Still, it's the pity for both of us. Anything happens to you, I lose a quality agent, to say nothing of not even knowing about it until someone gloats about your corpse.

Agent Zero works better with something driving him, I've found.
However, if I just needed someone to piss him off, I would have sent him to deal with the wizards. DATS puts on a good public face, but we need more people who aren't afraid to break the rules to get the job done.
And of those that we have, you've got the talent to do what I need those people for.
And perhaps you're right, it's likely nobody would gloat over your death. Which means if something DOES happen to you, nobody's ever going to know about it. If nothing else, I'd like to know where your corpse is if something goes wrong.
Faith? Hardly. I'm quite certain where there are times where I will have to make you believe that I will kill you in order to get you to cooperate. It's your prowess and your abilities, as well as your unique insight that I value.
And Dynamo, I am Russian. I am wbred to concern myself with the infliction AND condition of death. But I do not leave my own to their fates.
Hmph. Perhaps I could have chosen that joke at a more appropriate time.
Whatever the case, Dynamo. You are skilled. Your other concerns? Can be addressed. In spite of my poorly timed jest, I do not intend to see you harmed. Nor am I happy to see you facing the prospect of Sigma on your own.
He's not exactly an unknown threat to us, you know.
And THAT is why I'm going to keep looking for you.
Come back to HQ, Dynamo. I'd much rather have you someplace safe than worry about how a skilled hunter is tailing you and I don't know where to begin looking.
But then, I'm not sure if you're ready to listen to reason. Sigma seems quite content to stalk you...

That would require him knowing where I am first.

Such is the pity, I'm afraid.

Hrmph, pity for you perhaps.

[little metal popping sounds from Dynamo's end, as he's stretching. That's about the only background noise Ivan is going to get right now.]
You're talking as if anyone would want to gloat about actually doing that.

Heh, you've really got way too much faith in me Ivan. Seriously. It's funny.
[quiet then...] If anything went wrong I'd be worried about things that aren't corpses if I was you.

I think I'll take my chances with the unknown then.

... [pffft starts laughing] You think I'm actually going to try and fight him?

I think he's going to track you down. Tell you to work for him, and then kill you quickly if you refuse.
And if you agree, then I'm going to have to disable you and kill him.
Slowly.
And that is NOT a joke.

And that is why no one is going to find me.
