SPC-408 is entirely loyal to Agent Kondraki.
NOTICE FROM THE CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE COORDINATION AND PROJECTS OPERATION COMMAND OFFICE
The following article contains information regarding rogue SPC agent Benjamin Kondraki and missing project SPC-408. Information is organized in the order it was first documented. Benjamin Kondraki is considered a Centre traitor and a high level threat.
All Centre agents must report any sightings of Benjamin Kondraki or SPC-408 immediately. Following a report, Centre agents have permission to engage Benjamin Kondraki in pugilism.
Search, Punch, Conquer.
SPC-408, as captured by Agent Kondraki
Project #: SPC-408
Selachian Pugnātorial Capabilities: Due to SPC-408's highly adaptable illusion abilities and sizable mass, SPC-408 can appear functionally invisible, allowing for use in up close monitoring and punching without risk towards Centre affiliates. SPC-408 possesses the ability to communicate and reason, however, it has refused to do so with anyone except discoverer and current owner Agent Kondraki. Usage of SPC-408 by Agent Kondraki for up close encounters and photography of particularly difficult or troublesome selachian entities has been approved byDr. Iris Thompson as part of WORLD IRIS's global pugnatorial coverage.

Project Components: SPC-408 is made up of 30-50 Batomorphi who behave as a single entity through what is presumed to be a form of hive mind communication. SPC-408 instances secrete a deviant substance, which, when entering contact with water, will alter its light-refracting properties, allowing SPC-408 to create complex illusions.1 When threatened, SPC-408 has been observed to take on the form and appearance of threatening creatures, such as a pod of dolphins and other large selachian entities.
Due to SPC-408's illusionary ablities, it is impossible to determine the exact number of entities that make up SPC-408 at any given time. The appearance and species of SPC-408 also varies, but each fully grown member is consistently between 40cm (15.7 in) and 60cm (23.6 in) in width, even if this is an unusual size for a member of its species. SPC-408 reproduces asexually, and when one member of SPC-408 dies in any manner, it is immediately consumed by the rest of the mass and a new member will take its place.
SPC-408 is entirely loyal to Agent Kondraki.
Addendum 408-1: Acquisition
SPC-408 was originally mistaken for one incredibly large selachian entity and The SPCS Christine was assigned to follow SPC-408's trail for monitoring and pugnātorial purposes. Agent Kondraki was stationed aboard the SPCS Christine during this voyage as a marine photographer. On ██/██/████, Agent Kondraki took a fall off of the SPCS Christine and did not surface for several hours. The SPCS Christine reported him as dead and continued on its course, however the SPCS Christine could not locate SPC-408 following this incident.
Three hours after the initial report of his death, Agent Kondraki appeared at Site-19 surrounded by a large mass of Batomorphi, later identified as SPC-408. Upon interrogation, he described being rescued by SPC-408 and requesting that they bring him to shore. Agent Kondraki failed to provide an adequate explanation for why the initial accident occurred, nor why he didn't reboard the SPCS Christine. Seeing as he wasn't injured, Agent Kondraki was permitted to return to the field.
Addendum 408-2: Overheard Conversation
Overheard Outside Site-19
Foreword: On ██/██/████, at 2113, Dr. A. Clef was seen passing by camera 24-B outside of Site-19. Shortly after Agent Kondraki followed. Neither man can be seen, but camera 24-B captured the following audio.
Agent Kondraki: Alto! I want to talk to you.
Dr. Clef: Well, you've got my attention.
Agent Kondraki: I would rather say this somewhere else.
Dr. Clef: You’ll say it right here, or you won’t say it at all.
<Silence for thirty seconds.>
Agent Kondraki: You heard about SPC-408?
Dr. Clef: Yes, I heard about your newthing Imago Green has let you play with.
Agent Kondraki: And you know how I discovered it?
Dr. Clef: Do you have a point to make, or is this small talk?
Agent Kondraki: I didn't fall, Alto.
<Silence for thrity seconds.>
Agent Kondraki: There were thirty people on that ship. At least ten people on the deck with me, and one of them pushed me. And there's no way no one else saw what happened, but not one person reported it.
<Silence for thrity seconds.>
Agent Kondraki: That's why I had 408 bring me to the site. Something like this just doesn't happen by accident.
<Silence for two minutes.>
Dr. Clef: What are you waiting for me to say?
Agent Kondraki: I guess I was just hoping to hear you agree with me for once.

Notes: Whether or not an assassination attempt on Agent Kondraki was planned and carried out has not been confirmed.
Addendum 408-3: Discussion with Dr. Thompson
Within IMAGO GREEN Headquarters
Foreword: As part of Project IMAGO GREEN, Agent Kondraki makes regular visits to Dr. Thompson. Given recent events and the Centre's growing distrust of Agent Kondraki, this interaction was deemed inappropriate and documented here.
<Kondraki enters IMAGO GREEN headquarters. Every wall is covered floor to ceiling in TV screens, displaying WORLD IRIS's Global monitoring system. Thompson's chair is on a crane, which allows her to maneuver around the room and reach each screen as desired. She reaches into a screen and punches a shark. When she spots Kondraki, the crane lowers her to the floor and she steps off to approach him, shaking her arm dry in the process.>
Agent Kondraki: Evening, Iris!
<Kondraki holds up a stack of photographs. Thompson reaches out to take them from him, Kondraki holds them above his head and out of Thompson's reach.>
Agent Kondraki: Have you eaten lunch today?
Dr. Thompson: Excuse you?
Agent Kondraki: I know you get really wrapped up in your work. Did you eat today?
Dr. Thompson: I don't need you to play games with me, agent.
<Thompson takes a picture of Kondraki with her personal camera. Thompson reaches through her picture to take the photographs from him. When they enter her hand, they begin to animate.>
Dr. Thompson: Wonderful!
Agent Kondraki: Forgive me for wanting to check up on you.
<Thompson turns her back to Kondraki. Kondraki turns in a circle to look at every screen.>
Agent Kondraki: It can't be great for your eyes for you to be staring at these screens all day. We need to get you a window for some natural light.
Dr. Thompson: I get plenty of natural light through my cameras.
Agent Kondraki:<Stutters.> Well- uh, yeah, I'm sure. But you know, I'm sure 408 would really like to meet you if you ever wanted to go fishing. Or even some in person pugilism! Might even give us some time to discuss that thing I wanted to talk to you ab-
Dr. Thompson: What is this?
<Thompson holds up a photograph of a school of non-deviant fish.>
School of non-deviant fish, as captured by Agent Kondraki.
Agent Kondraki: Oh! That wasn't supposed to be in there.
<Kondraki reaches out to take the photograph out of her hand. Thompson steps onto the chair platform and rises out of his reach.>
Dr. Thompson: You haven't been wasting my film on unnecessary detours, have you?
Agent Kondraki: I was actually hoping to talk to you about this! I've been collecting shark pictures for you for years now, and I feel like I've just been running out of sharks.
Dr. Thompson: Benjamin.
<Kondraki winces.>
Dr. Thompson: I've trusted you with the incredibly important task of covering the few blind spots in theWorld Iris system. I don't appreciate my trusted agent spouting blasphemy!
<Kondraki mouths the word blasphemy.>
Dr. Thompson: As long as the Centre stands, there will always be more sharks to punch.
Agent Kondraki: I agree with you. But I've just been thinking. Every time you send me out I have to go farther and farther to find sharks that haven't already been documented. And if they're so hard to find, they really can't be bothering anyone, can they?
Agent Kondraki:<Whispered.> And there are so many beautiful things in the ocean to photograph.
<Thompson tsks and shakes her head.>
Dr. Thompson: Sharks are an abomination! As long as they exist, they must be punched!
<She turns her back to him.>
Dr. Thompson: Clearly you've been underwater for too long, the sea has gotten into your brain. Take a few days off to clear your head.
Agent Kondraki: … Okay.
<Kondraki lingers by the door, mouth open as if to say something else. After a few seconds, he closes it and exits IMAGO GREEN headquarters.>
Notes: Following Oceans-7's collapse, Agent Kondraki played an important role in Dr. Thompson's care, and was involved in Thompson's transition into Project IMAGO GREEN. There are concerns that, given Agent Kondraki's personal relationship with Thompson, his selachian sympathies may hinder Project IMAGO GREEN. Agent Kondraki is no longer authorized to interact directly with Thompson, and any photographs taken by Agent Kondraki will be delivered to Thompson by a third party.
Addendum 408-4: Suspicious Interactions
Concerns about Agent Kondraki's loyalties have been debated among Centre officials. It was decided that all notable incidents involving Agent Kondraki would be documented here.
Within IMAGO GREEN Headquarters
Foreword: After the incident between Agent Kondraki and Dr. Thompson, pugilist in training Draven Kondraki2 was assigned as a liaison.
Agent Kondraki: Kid? What are you doing here.
Draven Kondraki: I was reassigned here after Clef's demotion, as part of site security.
Agent Kondraki: Oh! Hey, why didn't you tell me?
Draven Kondraki: Well, this is the first time I've seen you in weeks.
Agent Kondraki: Oh, yeah, right…
<Silence for twenty seconds, neither agent makes eye contact.>
Agent Kondraki: So, how's your mother?
Draven Kondraki: I wouldn't know, I moved out to start training.
Agent Kondraki: Right…
Draven Kondraki: Um. So do you have something for Thompson?
Agent Kondraki: Is she too busy to see me or something?
Draven Kondraki: Maybe, I don't know. You're just not supposed to see her right now.
Agent Kondraki: Why wasn't I told this?
<Draven Kondraki balls his fists.>
Draven Kondraki: Does it really bother you so much that you have to talk to me instead of her?
Agent Kondraki: Woah! Hey, don't be that way, kid. You know I love you.
<Kondraki reaches out to touch Draven's shoulder. Draven steps out of his reach. Kondraki keeps his arm outstretched for several seconds.>
Draven Kondraki: Do you have something for Dr. Thompson?
<Kondraki slowly reaches into his pockets and pulls out a stack of photographs.>
Agent Kondraki: I love you, kid.
<Draven takes the stack of photos.>
Draven Kondraki: Goodbye, dad.
Interaction with Dr. Clef
Foreword: Agent Kondraki and Dr. Clef left Site-19 and went far out of Centre camera views, however Dr. Thompson was able to overhear the following interaction through a photograph taken of Agent Kondraki.
<Kondraki and Clef can be seen sitting back to back on the Clarisse, a motor-less rowboat meant for only short travels or emergency evacuation. SPC-408 swims in circles under the Clarisse.>
Dr. Clef: Your bad mood is stinking up the air over here.
Agent Kondraki: Who said I was in a bad mood?
Dr. Clef: You did, when you asked me to go fishing.
Agent Kondraki: Maybe I just wanted to go fishing.
Dr. Clef: If you wanted to go fishing, you'd tell your buddies to scatter. I can't see shit all.
<Kondraki makes a hand motion and SPC-408 swims down and out of view.>
Agent Kondraki: I heard you got demoted recently.
Agent Kondraki:<Softly.> How did things go withher?
<Silence for thirty seconds.>
Dr. Clef:<Softly.> We reached an understanding.
Dr. Clef:<Louder.> What is it you actually wanted to talk about?
Agent Kondraki: Is it so inconceivable that I might've just wanted to talk to you? I feel like we haven't had a good reason to chat since I joined Project Imago Green.
<Kondraki sighs and turns to face Clef. Clef does the same. From his jacket pockets, Kondraki produces a packet of papers. He hands this packet to Clef, who flips through the first few pages.>
Dr. Clef: The hell's this?
Agent Kondraki: It's a paper my sister3 published. Did you know rays and sharks are very closely related? They even share a subclass of cartilaginous fish called Elasmobranchii.
Dr. Clef: I don't think you know what half of those words you just said even mean.
Agent Kondraki: I know enough to understand that if my friends down there were even a little different, then it would be my moral duty to punch them! And something about that just doesn't seem that right to me.
Dr. Clef:<Playfully.> Konny, don't tell me you're turning into some sort of shark sympathizer.
<Kondraki does not answer.>
Dr. Clef:<Serious.> Ben.
Agent Kondraki: Maybe I'm just thinking too hard. It hurts that my son will never know his aunt.
Dr. Clef: It's just the way things have to be. Some people are just wrong.
Agent Kondraki: But what if it didn't have to be that way!
Dr. Clef: Ben!
Agent Kondraki: Nevermind.
<Kondraki reaches out to place his hand over Clef's. Something pricks his hand and he jumps, rocking the Clarisse. SPC-408 resurfaces to steady the Clarisse.>
Agent Kondraki: Ouch!
<Clef laughs.>
Dr. Clef: That was on you.
<Clef rolls down his left sleeve, revealing a hook in place of a left hand4. Kondraki turns red.>
Agent Kondraki: Sorry for getting weird there for a second.
Dr. Clef: Who are you apologizing to?
Agent Kondraki: We've just known each other so long, I'd hate to finally drive you away after all of this.
<Kondraki leans into Clef, obscuring Clef from view. Clef's hand can be seen griping the edge of the Clarisse. The two hold the pose for thirty seconds. Kondraki sits back upright. Neither speaks for three minutes.>
Dr. Clef: Gross.

From the Home of Agent Kondraki
Foreword: From 10/21/████ to 05/21/████ Agent Kondraki made a series of phonecalls to Alicja Kondraki, and left the following voicemails.
From Agent Kondraki to Alicja Kondraki, sent 10/21/████: Um, hey Alicja. I had to look up your phone number in order to make this call. Uh, I don't know if this is like your work number or what. I understand why you didn't pick up, I mean I wouldn't pick up most unidentified phonecalls. But I really hope you listen to this and call me back. Okay, bye.
From Agent Kondraki to Alicja Kondraki, sent 10/29/████: Hi, Alicja. I really hope my last message didn't go through and that's why you haven't called me back. I mean, I understand if you don't want to talk to me after our last talk, but I really need you- you to talk to me right now. Okay? Please call me back.
From Agent Kondraki to Alicja Kondraki, sent 11/16/████: I remember the last time we talked, I'm sure you do too, I mean you- well, you were always so much smarter than me and you just had to make sure I knew it. And I just got so frustrated with your need to beright that I. Well. And I tried to tell you that I thought the Centre paid well, and that they were helping protect the world, and I wanted to help protect the world. And all you could say was'they're a bunch of fucking lunatics, Ben' and that's all our fucking dad ever had to say about my friends, and to hear you say it. It just made me so mad and I. And I.
From Agent Kondraki to Alicja Kondraki, sent 11/17/████: Hello, this is Agent Benjamin Kondraki of the Shark Punching Centre. I'm trying to get into contact with a Dr. Alicja Kondraki. If you could just call me back at this number that would be great! Cheers!
From Agent Kondraki to Alicja Kondraki, sent 12/01/████: I have a son, I know you know this because I tried contacting you when he was born. I mean, I hope you know, you never responded to me. He's eighteen now and he looks like you sometimes. He's also so smart like you, and stubborn. But he's also so fucking stupid, it drives me crazy that he won't just listen to me. He thinks I don't love him, but I do love him, and damn it, Alicja, I'm running out of family! I need you to slap some sense into him like you tried to with me.
From Agent Kondraki to Alicja Kondraki, sent 12/24/████:<Five minutes of heavy breathing with occasional sniffles.>
From Agent Kondraki to Alicja Kondraki, sent 12/31/████:<Kondraki's voice is slurred and frantic.> There was this little girl, right? She was twelve, maybe fourteen. And what do they do to her? They give her a pair of boxing gloves and toss her on a boat. You have to understand, the first time I saw her she was half blind, shark tooth embedded in her-! They punched too close to the sun and she got hurt. And I wanted to, please know I wanted to take her home. I wanted to- I wanted her to meet Draven, and Mónica5. I wanted them to be raised together, but they wouldn't let me! It's not my fault, okay! No one else would've taken care of her, so I had to prioritize! But I didn't want to make that choice! It wasn't my fault! It wasn't-
From Agent Kondraki to Alicja Kondraki, sent 01/01/████: I'm sorry I punched you.
From Agent Kondraki to Alicja Kondraki, sent 01/22/████: Happy birthday.
From Agent Kondraki to Alicja Kondraki, sent 02/01/████: Hello, this is Doctor- I mean I'm looking for a Dr. Alicja Kondraki. And I'm Benjamin Kondraki. This is Benjamin Kondraki trying to contact Dr. Alicja Kondraki. Pick up your phone!
From Agent Kondraki to Alicja Kondraki, sent 02/14/████:<After five minutes of silence, Kondraki sighs and hangs up.>
From Agent Kondraki to Alicja Kondraki, sent 02/25/████: You were right, okay. You were right. Please pick up your phone.
From Agent Kondraki to Alicja Kondraki, sent 03/20/████: This is Agent- oh, whatever.
From Agent Kondraki to Alicja Kondraki, sent 03/21/████: Okay so a shark is teaching his son how to eat humans. The dad says:'Alright son, first you swim full force at the human but at the last second, you turn away. Then you swim at him full force again, but again at the last second, you swim away. Then you can go back and eat the human.' The son looks confused and goes:'Dad, why can't I just eat the human the first time?' The father laughs and says:'You wouldn't want to eat a human that's full of shit, would you?'
From Agent Kondraki to Alicja Kondraki, sent 03/31/████: I keep having this nightmare where I'm in the ocean and I can't see any land. For some reason I keep trying to go down but I just float. And I see all of of these beautiful rays, all of them glowing bright green, all swimming in a circle under me. And I want to join them so bad but I can't get my head underwater. And then I turn around and see my son standing on a boat. And he just looks so disappointed. And it's just that moment forever.
From Agent Kondraki to Alicja Kondraki, sent 04/06/████: I just want her to be happy. And I want Draven to get along with her. And I want you to meet both of them. I think you would like them, they're like us when we were little. Except one has been brainwashed into thinking she's an all powerful dictator and the other won't look me in the eye.
From Agent Kondraki to Alicja Kondraki, sent 04/16/████: I've been seeing someone for a while now. It's been on and off since Mónica left me. If I'm being honest, it's been on and off since before Mónica left me. He's got these big sharp teeth, like he's a shark. You would hate him.
From Agent Kondraki to Alicja Kondraki, sent 04/17/████: Did you ever get married? Your website doesn't mention anything about a spouse or kids. It doesn't even mention you have a brother.
From Agent Kondraki to Alicja Kondraki, sent 04/26/████: Did you know baby sharks are called pups?
From Agent Kondraki to Alicja Kondraki, sent 04/30/████: What do you call the tissue between a shark's teeth? A slow swimmer.<Kondraki imitates a rimshot with his mouth.>
From Agent Kondraki to Alicja Kondraki, sent 05/03/████: I didn't know sharks actually really hate eating people until I read your paper. They only bite when they mistake a human for a seal. That's not what the Centre tells us.
From Agent Kondraki to Alicja Kondraki, sent 05/21/████: I'm going to get out of here. Sorry if I don't make it out in one piece.
From Alicja Kondraki to Agent Kondraki, sent 05/21/████: Ben? What's going on?
Addendum 408-5: Incident Report
Incident Report
Foreword: The following is a recounting of the events of ██/██/████, put together based on limited footage and witness testimonies, especially that of pugilist in training Draven Kondraki.
1015: Agent Kondraki claimed that he was prepared for another excursion, and proceeded to leave Site-19 with SPC-408. The WORLD IRIS system quickly lost track of him, and his exact movements could not be determined.
1247: ProjectESTIVAL OUTLANDER reported a disturbance. Camera footage shows a second SPC-6826 launching out of the water at project leads, causing minimal injuries but massive panic. In the ensuing chaos, the Hass-Class Automated Pummeling System is deactivated by Agent Kondraki.
1301: WORLD IRIS witnesses Agent Kondraki retreating with SPC-682. SPC-408 creates an illusion around the escapees, and WORLD IRIS loses visual again. A Marine Fighting Team is deployed in hopes of tracking them down. Dr. Iris Thompson officially deems Agent Kondraki a traitor.
Post Incident Interview - Dr. Thompson
Interviewer: Could you tell us a little more about your relationship with Agent Kondraki?
Dr. Thompson: Is this not a matter of public record?
Interviewer: Just for the purposes of the interview, please.
<Thompson crosses her arms over her chest.>
Dr. Thompson: I saw him every day for several years, then I saw him weekly as he went to and from missions. I believed him to be a very loyal man, and I rewarded him what the most important job I could offer. He disappointed me.
Interviewer: Have you been able to make visual contact with him since the incident?
Dr. Thompson: No. It stands to reason that, having worked on the project just as long as I have, he would know its blind spots.
Interviewer: And on a more personal level, how do you feel about Kondraki's betrayal? He had quite a bit of presence in your life, it would make sense if you felt more than a little upset over this.
Dr. Thompson: I am angry about the destruction of my site, and I am disappointed about the loss of a promising and useful agent. Otherwise, I have no personal feelings on the matter.
<Thompson lets out a heavy, shaky breath through her nose.>
Dr. Thompson: I have no personal feelings on the matter.
1512: Pugilist in training Draven Kondraki witnesses a disturbance in the waters surrounding Site-19 and runs to make the following phone call on a Centre landline:
Draven Kondraki: This is Kondraki- uh the uh, younger one- reporting a potential shar- selachian-
1518: SPC-408 and SPC-682 launch out of the water. Agent Kondraki can be seen clinging onto SPC-682's dorsal fin. An SPC-408 strikes Draven Kondraki in the back, sending him to the ground.
1520: SPC-682 trashes about, propelling itself forward via galumphing. Agent Kondraki falls off of SPC-682. SPC-408 scatters. Despite moving incredibly slow, SPC-682 rampages across the Site. All trained pugilists converge to gain control of SPC-682, allowing Agent Kondraki to maneuver unhindered.
1534: The following conversation is captured of camera 230-R:
Agent Kondraki: Kid? What are you doing here!
Draven Kondraki: Dad! What the hell is wrong with you!?
Agent Kondraki: Come on. It's not safe here.
<Kondraki attempts to approach Draven. Draven backs up against a wall.>
Draven Kondraki: Get away from me! You- you shark sympathizer!
Agent Kondraki: Look, kid! Everything this place has ever told you is a lie. For once, listen to your father and come with me!
Draven Kondraki: Why should I?! You let a shark loose on my home!
Agent Kondraki: Why do you have to be so difficult?! Don't you trust your own father?!
Draven Kondraki: No! I don't!
1600: Dr. Thompson punches Agent Kondraki using camera 230-R. He screams and covers his bloody nose. Draven Kondraki runs away. SPC-408 breaks camera 230-R.
1632: SPC-682's trashing prevents immediate capture. Several MTFs are knocked down. 30% of Site-19 is turned to rubble. SPC-408 begins breaking every camera.
1642: SPC-682 is restrained by Centre agents via repeated group punching, but continues to thrash and destroy the surrounding area. Agent Kondraki makes a run towards the docking bay.
1700: Draven Kondraki intersects Agent Kondraki's path.
Post Incident Interview - Draven Kondraki
Interviewer: Could you tell us a little more about your relationship with Agent Kondraki?
Draven Kondraki: I mean, he was my dad.
Interviewer: Were you particularly close?
Draven Kondraki: When I was younger, sure. We both liked photography and I thought what he did for work was really cool. After IMAGO GREEN I didn't seem him much at all.
Interviewer: You stated in your report that you confronted your father right before his escape, can you tell me about how that interaction went down?
Draven Kondraki: Well, I got in his way and I told him to stop. He asked me why I was doing this, and I told him he was a Centre enemy. He just kept calling me kid.
<Draven sniffles and wipes his face on his sleeve. Interviewer offers him a box of tissues.>
Draven Kondraki: I told him tojust come quietly. I thought maybe if he did, then I could prove that this was just one of his episodes and the Centre wouldn't hurt him-
Interviewer: Episodes?
Draven Kondraki: Um, right, so, sometimes when he came home he could be really sick and irritable. And he'd have these episodes where he'd just be really out of control. It really scared my mother. And I'm sure that's what was happening earlier.
Interviewer: I see. Continue.
Draven Kondraki: He asked me why I didn't trust him, and apologized for… being absent. Said he never wanted it to be that way.
<Draven audibly swallows.>
Draven Kondraki: He asked me to come with him. Said I was free to come with him any time, that he would always welcome me in again. He tried to hug me, and that's when I got defensive and tried to subdue him.
<Draven laughs weakly.>
Draven Kondraki: Last thing I heard him say was that he was sorry.
Interviewer: He had a very limited presence in your life, right? You don't hold any particular loyalty to him?
<Draven shakes his head.>
Draven Kondraki: He'smy dad, but I know he always wanted to raise her more than me.
Interviewer: What do you mean by that?
Draven Kondraki: I- would rather not get into that here, with you. If that's alright.
1716: SPC-408 pins Draven to the ground. Agent Kondraki manhandles Draven into a rowboat and has half of SPC-408 drag him away from the Centre. Draven attempts several times to dive into the water, but is prevented from doing so by SPC-408.
1730: Agent Kondraki boards the SPCS Beatrice.
Post Incident Interview - Dr. Clef
Interviewer: Could you tell us a little more about your relationship with Agent Kondraki?
Dr. Clef: You want to know if we fucked?
Interviewer: W- well you weren't exactly private about your relationship.
<Clef laughs.>
Dr. Clef: Me and Konny worked together for a good while, then we got busy with other projects. I saw him less than his son did.
Interviewer: Were you involved with the SPC-682 incident?
Dr. Clef: No, I'm sure you'll find fifty pugilists in training who will confirm my exact location.
Interviewer: We have footage of you allowing the traitor to escape.
Dr. Clef: How was I supposed to know he was a traitor at the time? All I knew was that we had been attacked. He could've been up on that boat for any number of reasons!
Interviewer: Our evidence implies the contrary.
Dr. Clef: I've given my statement.
Interviewer: You understand that we will be monitoring all personnel close to the traitor? If you attempt to make contact with Agent Kondraki, we will know.
Dr. Clef: Believe me, I have no desire to go after him. And I think the Centre shouldn't waste their time going after him either.
Interviewer: You believe we should just let an attack like this go unpunished!?
Dr. Clef: No, Iknow you aren't going to find him, and that energy would be better spent elsewhere.
Addendum 408-6: Ongoing Investigation
Incident Report
Forward: Last known footage captured of former Agent Kondraki.
<Kondraki is seen standing on board the SPCS Beatrice. SPC-408 is in the water, slowly pushing the Beatrice away from the docs. Clef approaches the docs and is spotted by Kondraki.>
Agent Kondraki: Alto! You came!
Dr. Clef: What the hell do you think you're doing?
Agent Kondraki: We're leaving.
Dr. Clef: You and… it?
<Clef leans over the docs to look at SPC-408. An SPC-408 instance jumps out of the water and splashes him.>
Dr. Clef: You're really just going to run away? After that fucking stunt you pulled?!
<Kondraki turns his back to Clef and works on unfurling the Beatrice's sails.>
Agent Kondraki: You know why I had to do it.
Dr. Clef: No, actually! I don't know why you had to throw the world's biggest temper tantrum and flush your entire career down the toilet!
<Kondraki turns around to grip the side of the Beatrice.>
Agent Kondraki: Either they try to kill me on their terms or they try to kill me on my terms! What's left for me here, anyway!?
Dr. Clef: Your son, Ben!
<Kondraki's shoulders slump and he grimaces.>
Agent Kondraki: The Centre has gotten into his head. That was my failure.
Dr. Clef: Damn you.
Agent Kondraki: Come with me.
<Clef visibly startles.>
Dr. Clef: What?
Agent Kondraki: Let's go, let's leave. No one can stop us!
Dr. Clef: You absolute cunt.
Agent Kondraki: We never needed the Centre. 408 will keep us safe. It can just be us.
Dr. Clef: What the hell do you think is out there for me, huh?!
Agent Kondraki:<Whispered.> I am.
<Silence for two minutes. During this time Kondraki paces around the Beatrice.>
Dr. Clef: You'll never find peace out there.
Agent Kondraki: And are you ever going to find peace here?
<Neither says a word. Kondraki enters the helm of the Beatrice. After five minutes the SPCS Beatrice begins sailing away. Clef remains at the doc's edge until the Beatrice can no longer be seen.>
Dr. Clef: Bastard…
