"Alright, so special operations it is. Getting into their ranks takes alot of hard work, and you'll be trained mostly as a pilot would be, in some ways. You'll be training with your grappling, and will be taking part in a stealth operation. Failure of the operation will result in you not being able to join the spec Ops. Instead, you'll be assigned to something else."

"Fridge" Poison cursed under his breath, he would have to find another way... he moved to another window... He looked at the castle for any windows that he might be able to climb up towards...
-
There were several, though in four of the seven Poison noticed that there were men posted in the windows, looking out over the courtyard. He might be able to, if he timed everything correctly
-
Poison thought about this, but then realized that he could put up a diversion to draw away the troops on the ground below.... He looked around, trying to see if there was anything he could blow up, or make a noise...
-
There were a small stack of crates in the very middle of the courtyard. One of them was bound to have some sort of explosive in them. But there were too many to make any guesses
-
Poison shook his head, disbanding the idea... He started to observe the soldiers patterns, trying to gauge whether there was at one point a free moment to jump and climb... He also calculated the distance of jumping and climbing to an empty window, it would take about 20 seconds in total...
-
Poison ended up waiting around for nearly an hour before being able to piece together what the patrol was. At nearly every 19 minutes, the wall patrol was facing the outside of the castle walls, and the courtyard patrol was near the front gates, giving him a precious 18 seconds of free time before the one of the soldiers of the courtyard patrol looked over at the windows.
-
Poison knew it would be close. His calculations could have been wrong but that could go either way, it could take longer or shorter... He decided he had to take the chance, he had no alternative... He waited until it was the right time, and then, running to gain momentum, made the jump. He hit the wall with a grunt and without waiting, climbed the wall and hurled himself into the window.. He looked around but the area he was in was empty, he waited a second to see if he had been spotted...
-
Silence. He got away with it. The room he feel in was bare, mostly empty save for a wardrobe against one of the walls
-
Poison crept towards the wardrobe, inspecting it, but not opening it, for fear of making noise. He peeked out the window to gauge what floor he was on...
-
He was a single floor above the ground, so it must have been the second floor. Where the servants lived
-
Poison nodded, he was one floor away from his objective... he walked to the only door in the room, opening it carefully to not make any squeaks, and peeked outside to gather his surroundings...
-
The doorway opened into a hallway that went to the right and left, however a railing saw several feet in front of him. On thw other side of the railing, Poison could look down into the main ballroom area
-
Poison crept along the hallway, peeking quickly at the ballroom...
-
[spoiler]You're up early.... [/spoiler] The ballroom had half a dozen men sitting at a large table, overlooking a map of the castle with weapons and explosives scattered about on it He saw two men at each of the three entrances, making the total number of a men a dozen Then, he spotted a patrol of two men across the ballroom, on the other side of the room where two men overlooking the ballroom as well
-
[spoiler]jet lag, I was up since 2:30 last night...[/spoiler] Poison looked down the hallways to see if there were stairs leading to the third floor, that was where he needed to go...
-
There were none that he could see, but it might be worth investigating further.
-
Poison continued crouch-walking down the hallway, making sure no one else was there, it would be fatal if there was a noise of a struggle with all those soldiers down in the ballroom...
-
The hallway was mostly clear, and as he neared the corner he saw a doorway with as spiral staircase going upwards and downwards However, he heard voices coming from the staircase and he had limited time to hide [spoiler]-Go upstairs -Go downstairs -Run into a room [/spoiler]
-
Poison knew going on the staircase would be a death trap, as there were obviously people there, so he quickly found an empty room and flung himself into it...
-
The room he ducked into had a IMC operative facing out the window of the room. The operative was focused on the courtyard, and hadn't realized the Poison had gotten into the room
-
Poison knew he had to act fast, he crept up behind the IMC Operative, quickly placed his hand over his mouth to avoid any noise and drew him back into the room, choking him with Poisons other arm...
-
The operative attempted to elbow Poison in the side, followed by a backwards kick to Poison's leg
-
Poison took the hits with a grunt but enclosed his hand over the Operatives neck, squeezing it really tight...
-
After a few minutes, the operative stopped moving completely.
-
Poison checked his pulse, and finding none, let go of the Operative... He then moved back to the door to see if the stair case was clear...
