their last attempt at floating a rescue operation ended well until momentum eventually faded. this time will be different for the stakes are far greater.[break][break]

PENELOPE LIVY may be unaware but his bond with annalise henderson is the catalyst of his annoyance as he walks into her office.[break][break]

"penny, we need to talk."[break][break]

the manila folder is offered, placed on her desk.[break][break]

"i need you to approve this."[break][break]

"sure, just make yourself at home."
[Break][break]
For as close as they'd become, Matias assumption to her time has never worn itself of it's annoyance. If anything, its irritating nature has only been further exacerbated by his arrogance.
[Break][break]
With one finger, Penelope jabbed down on the manila folder's corner, dragging it across the desktop.
[Break][break]
"What the hell even is this?"
[Break][break]
With that same finger, she flipped it open.
[Break][break]
"Oh."
[Break][break]
She granted a moment's pause before looking upward, lips tucked down into a frown.
[Break][break]
"I've heard mentions of this...plan. Specifically, that it had been denied."

the plan is almost a copy of the one they had previously proposed except it has since been reworked to include their latest intel, primarily the list of prisoners.[break][break]

annalise henderson's name sits near the top.[break][break]

"it was, yes. but we both know it's within your power to change that."[break][break]

"You know I can't do that," she shook her head.
[break][break]

Did she hold the power to approve their plan? Sure, but that would mean directly moving against their commissioner and sacrificing all they'd built up over these passing months. No, that would be far too much to sacrifice for some petty rescue mission.
[break][break]

She shook her head again, solidifying her resolve.
[break][break]

"It'd be far too much of a risk."

Penelope's lips remained terse, her expression cold.
[break][break]
There was little read off his words. They sounded far too distant to grasp.
[break][break]
"Keep doing what?"

It was tiring, this charade he was playing. This game of manipulating the playing field to get what he wanted from her. In some ways ( a lot of ways), it worked, clutching at her heartstrings strong enough to urge a twitch of movement in her pristine frown.
[break][break]

Her eyebrows snap downward and a mirrored breath is released.
[break][break]

"Is this just about getting my approval?"
[break][break]

The question was a genuine one. Brought together by the sticks and mud of stupid concern.
[break][break]

Slowly, she moved to her feet, breaking the barrier between councilwoman and elite four member. If he wanted an open dialogue, he would have one. Controlled as it may be.
[break][break]

"Talk to me about it."

"We're not being passive. Preparations are still being made for the upcoming raid and every day we're working at the HBIC to gain an upper hand. "
[break][break]

It was true. And yet, she knew he was asking for more. Far more than anything she could offer him right now.
[break][break]

"It's just that this plan is too much too soon. We're still recouping from the ultra deep see. We can't afford another major loss right now."

he snaps his fingers.[break][break]

"and that's the problem. you've already decided that this is a loss when it very well isn't. i'll make sure of it."[break][break]

"When you're forced to take the entire region into perspective, uncertainties need to be considered losses. Regardless of who's involved."
[break][break]
They needed to be conservative with their judgments. Because now, thanks to everything that's happened, they've been given the awareness that Rocket was the least of their concerns. Far more rested off in the horizons, nestled deep within the shadows.

"If we had more intel, then maybe that would change, but for now, the situation is what it is. And I don't think there's anything you, alone, can do to change that."

"All operations done without the proper intelligence are considered losses, yes. But that's because they're likely to result in loss, regardless of the actual outcome. That's why it's important to wait and vie our time for the best opportunity."
[break][break]

But, of course, it was futile telling him this. Like explaining the properties of science to a bull; there was no getting through to him, no matter how concise or thorough her explanations were. They all came in one ear and trickled out the other.
[break][break]

"Matias, I just need you to trust us in this. I know you want to help these people, but we can't be reckless. There's too much at stake right now."

A pause.

that's where they differ: if there's even a slight chance they may come out victorious, he'll take it and he'll run with it all the way to the end. he'll throw caution to the wind and do what he has to do. he will fight to his dying breath.[break][break]

and fight he does.[break][break]
