Fort Commander Eisenburg smirked as he interlocked his fingers. "It seems to me that you have this all thought out," he said. "Were you so sure that I'd offer you an additional reward?"
"I was not," Cassius answered truthfully. "But I had this on my bucket list, so I figured I'd throw it out with the opportunity you presented to me."
"Smart," Eisenburg said. "And luckily for you, your request is doable. But there will be no need to add placeholder members to your Platoon. Your Platoon also won't be marked on any ledgers or records; you'll be completing missions totally off the grid as a special unit. Will that be fine with you, Cadet Cassius?"
After a brief moment of surprise, Cassius nodded. "That is a better bargain than I could've hoped for," he said. "Thank you for this, Fort Commander, sir."
