L'Iowa avait quitté la salle d'information dès qu'il avait eu l'occasion de le faire. Il ne voulait pas traîner avec des membres qui auraient pu répondre à ses questions et mal interpréter leur sens ou leur ton. Faire des ennemis au sein de la seule organisation qui le protège du procès de la mort signifiait qu'il y aurait beaucoup de difficultés sérieuses à venir. Mais certains de ces aspects semblables à des soldats étaient parfois très difficiles à prendre en compte. En outre, ils étaient sur le point d'aller à leur première mission, traquant les mêmes personnes qu'il se battait autrefois entre eux. Ce groupe en particulier n'était pas d'où il venait. Aucun des individus de haut commandement ne ressemblait à des membres du classement au moment de la présence de l'Iowa et ils l'auraient probablement transmis à des frères et sœurs plus jeunes ou à des cousins de l'Iowa. Cela étant dit, le père de l'Iowa devait toujours être au commandement. Mais ce sont des insurrectionnistes réguliers. Des combattants violents, il en connaissait le genre.
Peu après son départ, ils reçurent l'appel pour se diriger vers les navires et se préparer à l'aube de leur mission. C'était tendu, d'une certaine façon, mais l'Iowa n'en a pas fait un mouvement « double temps ». Non pas qu'il était en retard, mais l'Iowa n'y est pas allé complètement. Son léger jogging lui a donné le temps de réfléchir. Des pensées comme celles-ci étaient ramassées par Sigma... Sigma n'était pas toujours d'accord avec ce qu'on pensait.
Finalement, l'Iowa a atteint le navire-drop, glissant sur la rampe de déploiement et dans les groupes d'agents en garnison qui participaient également à la mission. Il était risqué, et agité, qu'il ait décidé de s'asseoir le plus près du coin le moins fréquenté. Tous les agents n'étaient pas à bord bien sûr, et quiconque voulait lui parler pouvait facilement s'asseoir à côté de lui et frapper la conversation, mais cela n'a pas empêché Iowa de prendre le siège là-bas rapidement. Une partie de la conversation entre des agents spécifiques l'inquiétait en tant que tel, lui faisant sentir qu'il était une fois de plus du mauvais côté de la guerre. Un discours violent, un langage impitoyable... Il lui a fait trembler la colonne vertébrale. Il ne savait pas que Sigma prenait des notes de toutes ses réponses. En tant que tel, il n'a donné qu'un simple clin d'œil pour répondre à celui qui prenait les noms de qui est arrivé, ne voulant pas gâcher et dire quelque chose de mal.

Personality
Whereas Grant hasn't been on the more optimistic side of life, he surely faces the realism of it. However, he enjoys sugar-coating his troubles with a sense of witty remarks and comedic, creative Operation methods. There aren't many times were Grant has seen a large, substantial amount of pride in his actions, but the odd here and there he'll celebrate whatever he finds amusing, witty or downright useful towards the given objective. Being more of a team-spirit kind of individual, due to his fighting styles, he's prone to depending heavily on other Agents on field, meaning solo operations or engagements can sometimes put a small deal of pressure and tension on him. Unfortunately, that also is a reason for him to get far too close to other members of his Unit, which isn't always ideal in Project Freelancer. Yet, within Project Freelancer, Grant has become more acceptable with killing other insurgents and targets than he would've done in his past.
Background
During the Great-War, Grant was brought up into a different style of life. Instead of fighting the Covenant or any other major threats, he made a living growing up within a Small Insurgent Cell that jumped between systems in order to sustain themselves. Though it does not provide the same military, extensive training, it features experience and training on the battlefield from small-scale firefights and sieges. Having started the arts of guerrilla warfare and unconventional combat tactics at a young age, he developed his way up towards the more important tasks his family and group had to offer.
Within this Cell, Grant had gotten enough experience to learn that even in humanity's desperate times, they were still keen on killing one another in the background, having caused him to be involved in their acts originally. They didn't plan on making a massive difference, but they wanted to get their message across about humanity's violence and segregation between one another. The only way to know how to do that was to devise plans that only the UNSC would be familiar with, violence. It was contradictory, yes...But it worked out. For a while, at least.
During recent months, an Operation to gather UNSC data in the hopes to convince them to pay attention to their demands and cries for help, which had been ignored for so long that the group had resorted to minor insurgency. Now, Grant was a difficult one to tackle. He completely supported the UNSC in their struggles against the Great War's threats, but he was in disagreement with their attention paid to the poorer colonies. Because of this conflict in compassion, when settled as a designated marksman for the Operation, he found himself only shooting the legs of targeted UNSC Personnel. However, this non-lethal decision had left him exposed to discovery, and a major conflict broke out during one of their objectives. Grant was lucky enough to engage in CQC well enough to eliminate two pursers, but could not prevent the force of the UNSC from catching up quickly. He was captured and held quietly.
It was a short sentence, as he sat in regret for his total actions, before someone of a promised future bailed him out early. Though this background of insurgency hasn't left him very popular amongst his new ranks in Project Freelancer, the ones who freed him in favour of his cooperation, but he's managed to get used to the minor verbal abuse faced in his first days, weeks and months. Now, kitted out with his new armour, he is far more suited to fitting in as a Freelancer Agent, rather than an Insurgent.

Fighting Style
Preferred at Mid-Long Range by his peers, superiors and himself, Grant suits the role of a designated marksmen quite well. But from what he'd been brought up in alongside the arts of guerrilla warfare, he's been chosen as useful up-close, mainly with both blade and handgun. These mixed with his armour ability make for a unique and fast fighting style, but hand to hand combat isn't his greatest strength.
