Unlike the way that Wasp thought, Shark figured that he needed to do everything that he could have to stay alive. He didn't want to do anything that would have shortened his lifespan, and more importantly he had wanted to ensure that he didn't do anything that slowed him down at all. Harming his cardiovascular or pulmonary functions hadn't sounded to him like a very good idea, considering that an assassin worked by using their body. Swift reflexes were of the utmost importance.<br/><br/>Smoking, therefore, sounded like an abhorrent idea to him. It was all very interesting commentary on health coming from someone who had, admittedly, undergone cybernetic modifications that those who were usually interested in health could never have supported. Exhaling softly, he looked over and started to sit more comfortably in his chair. He had been told that quitting cigarette smoking had indeed been tougher than quitting cocaine.<br/><br/>Indeed he did treat this organization as a group of workers. To Shark, being an assassin was a job. It was an exceedingly fun job, but it was a job like anything else. He could have behaved just as easily if he worked at the deli or making video games. Shark, himself, might have been something of a loner and he certainly had a superiority complex. He wasn't greedy per say, though. He thought of the money he got as fair pay for doing a job that had to be done.<br/><br/>Smirking to Georgie, he finally shrugged a bit. "I wouldn't mind seeing you in action like that, though I suppose that a good bit of stealth like you brought up would kind of make that impossible."<br/><br/>That was when Ghost brought up the bit about what might have happened if one member of HEART used it against another member. Worse, that same individual had accused them of being afraid of dying. "I am not afraid of death, though I do not exactly want to give it a try. I work to ensure that I like don't have to fear it or whatever!" With that he grumbled to himself a bit before looking back toward Ghost again. "Anyway, I don't have any plan to use it against another member of HEART. What I wanted you to give me was a defense against it in case someone gave it a shot!"<br/><br/>The fact that she was giving him a non-committal response that just suggested that he shouldn't ask questions was something he didn't like. Tactically it made little sense to make a weapon that you could never have a defense against if you ever lost control of it.<br/><br/>Worse, an enemy could always duplicate it if they knew what they were doing. That meant that having a defense against it was going to be paramount. Otherwise, they would very well have at least a theoretical threat of its use against them, and that wasn't something that he had wanted to consider one bit.
