There was a team exercise, a long while back, where everyone on the team had to fight each other. The nine people that came out on top got to fight him.
It was one of the best times I ever had, with the CDC. But I imagine you're happy to miss it.

We were split into three groups. The top three from each group moved on.
FROM: jacobs.shinobu@cdc.org
The only ones left, besides me, were Hatake, November 11, Aran, Shengshun, and Laufeyson.
FROM: jacobs.shinobu@cdc.org
But Aran left for a while, came back, and didn't remember anything of her previous time. Shengshun left for a while and apparently came back as an Orange.
Dunno what the deal is with either of them.
[Granted, she supposed she hadn't seen much of Kakashi or Samus lately, but nothing was official until someone announced it.]
Well yeah, that's a no-brainer. But still, Barnes can kick ass more than most people. I used to be rovermates with him, at a time.
FROM: jacobs.shinobu@cdc.org
I don't know if "close" is a good word, but she was competent. In a team that was largely filled with dumbasses, especially back then, I think that meant something to him.
I should hope so, what kind of assassin can't kick ass? it's literally the first third of the word.

have you worked with this loki guy since?

oh wow so dumbassery has been a fine tradition long before my twin and I came to bungle it up. I'm going to sleep a lot better at night.
FROM: parker.peter@cdc.org
look though, armada told me he was going to explain some Dagger things once we get back on the ship. I don't know how much we'll actually get out of the guy but at least for now, we know that the instructors aren't totally in the dark here
It's actually kind of a weird case in that we've both been around since this crew was formed, but we haven't really worked together much at all. He seems okay?
FROM: jacobs.shinobu@cdc.org
Hey now, I'll have you know that the first generation of Kalis was pretty great. There was Joel and his tendency to get kidnapped, but I'd take it if that was the only weak spot.
FROM: jacobs.shinobu@cdc.org
I don't care who explains it, as long as someone knows what the hell is going on.

she unvieled a secret dere and he felt bad...
i've already gotten my tucchas handed to me on platters aplenty, i don't need a refresher

laufeyson as in "Loki"?
FROM: parker.peter@cdc.org
i don't know, i think they swap people out and give them a do-over. for whatever reason, i don't believe we're in the need to know circle there.

this girl petra had the same thing happen, doesn't remember me from her first go around here at all.

Sometimes you need to get your ass beat before you can get better.
FROM: jacobs.shinobu@cdc.org
That's the guy. I guess he managed to beat Barnes too, since I thought he'd come out on top with the rest of us.
FROM: jacobs.shinobu@cdc.org
Yeah, it's none of my business, but it's just weird. Even Dagger seemed kind of upset by Aran's case in particular.

Do you know the profession I was in before being recruited? I know better than to give my trust easily.

He is, but saying kidnapping sounds way less awkward than mannapping.

There's exactly one person here I trust completely. He's got another thing coming if he tries the whole manipulating thing on me.
FROM: jacobs.shinobu@cdc.org
Ever since he got transferred, I haven't heard of any incidents. Who knows, maybe he was just trying to avoid my company.
