Vindico needed an upgrade. Watching the current, unorthodox, H.E.A.R.T group in action, she was impressed by their array of technology and skills. Mildly jealous, in fact. She was familiar with their code names and had a basic knowledge of their abilities, but seeing them all in action was something else entirely. It was 'just a simple mission', though, she admitted, the team managed it with text-book proficiency. H.E.A.R.T seldom sent so many out, many one or two, three at an absolute push, any more than that was highly irregular. Not only that, this was not a typical, straight-forward mission, Vindico suspected this team would be working together for some time, and this data-gathering was simply the first step in a much grander plan. It was possible that the very existence of H.E.A.R.T was balancing on a knife's edge.<br/><br/>It seemed Vindico had chosen a good time to make her intentions known. She could have been a multi-billionaire, hacking her way through banks, taking money from all the rich, poor sods who did not deserve it, leaving false trails, leading all the authorities on wild, pointless chases tracking down people who didn't exist. That would have been too easy, fun for a time, but ultimately pointless. H.E.A.R.T was another matter, having followed their exploits for some time before making her presence known, she knew she could make a difference working for them, that her existence might actually be worth living. It was a case of live for something or die for nothing. Always when she had killed before, it was personal - not that any of her targets knew of her existence, nevertheless - this time it was the same, killing bad people for the greater good. H.E.A.R.T did good work, and she wanted to be a part of that.<br/><br/>However, she did not expect to working with so many others. Her talents were at their most useful when she worked alone, or perhaps, she was simply more comfortable doing things by herself, since fundamentally, she was a loner. H.E.A.R.T had given her the brief for her first mission, which she suspected, arrived shortly before the rest of the 'team' got theirs so she had time to get into position. Vindico was simply to observe the mission, to protect it from a distance and make sure the group escaped the warehouse, with the package, and weren't pursued by any potential bogey's. It appeared H.E.A.R.T wanted to make certain nobody suspected them in the theft.<br/><br/>Vindico was cognizant of everything going on inside the warehouse as she 'eavesdropped' in on the constant chatter of the team. H.E.A.R.T had, of course, given her access to the communications but she had, as yet, not made them aware that she was ensuring their safety from outside. She didn't even think they knew of her existence which is the way she would prefer it - though it was entirely possible and feasible that they did. Right now she watched as the team assembled inside their getaway vehicle.
