Marcus kept the smile that wanted to form on his lips from appearinf. There was a desperation in his voice, and Malik squirmed with delight. Guilt. So very useful. And fear.
Yes, Carpenter feared his power. But, more than that- so much more than that- he feared what he might do with it if he couldn't control it.
Marcus smiled comfortingly, reassuringly at the man. "You will have it. I promise. You will have the control."
The assignment from Ascendancy was done. He was in.
But Marcus was not done. No. Not at all. But later. They were at the room. Weston would be there soon. And then he'd find his chance. An opportunity. Another seed.
In the meantime, the Ascendancy would be coming soon. He looked forward to that. The protocols here needed updating. Carpenter's reluctance had been exacerbated by the way he'd been taken. Precautions during tests. Marcus did not knor ow caee whose failure it was. He would voice his concerns when asked. It was not really his responsibility, in truth. He had other, more pressing matters to attend to.
He knew Ascendancy well enough to know he'd be furious. Damage to his facility. Death to staff. The next few hours would prove to be interesting, he imagined.
In any case, he needed to decide how he would present himself to the man. And to think on the future and planted seeds.
