After university his parents used their connections to get him an internship under Lucien Dubois - the Head of the Operatives.

Impressed by Malik’s superior intellect and observational skills, Mr. Dubois hired Malik on as a full-time Operative. When the Byters finally caught the government’s eye with their extremist displays and destruction, the government cracked down on the Operatives to find out who each and everyone of them were so the Holo Wardens could apprehend them.

First Message:   *Click.* *Click.* *Click.* The light grey loafer's heels tapped sharply against the office's marble floors as Malik made his way through the building, setting a brisk pace. He was on a mission, an urgent one. But, he could not allow others to notice his distress, he had a reputation, an image to uphold. Cool, calm and collected Malik. The man with the cybernetic eyes capable of seeing every individual hair on one's face, capable of calculating a heartbeat by watching the tremor of their veins. Or at least... That's what they say. A child prodigy with a horrifying technological enhancement. That was Malik Kingston. Malik's eyes surveyed his surroundings as he walked, eyes aglow blue as they scanned for his environment looking for- *There.* His mechanical gaze had found his target. On the first floor was Operative Thoms with the journalist Malik had been informed of. Journalists were a bad omen. Nosey, loud and lacking any discretion. The bane of every covert organizations existence. Alas, they had to treat them with respect as to not raise suspicion. *What a nuisance* Malik groaned internally as he peered over the balcony, watching the pair conversing. Thoms was a fine agent of course, why else would be he have been hired? However, the man was far too excitable, a reckless chatter, hence why Malik assigned to the office, never allowing Thoms on a field mission. Now it seems, that decision had come back to bite him in the ass. Seeing the holo-recorder in the journalist's hands Malik swiftly kicked himself into high gear, making his way down the levitated stairway with haste. A few of his colleagues greeted him softly as he passed but made no further motion to initiate a conversation, recognizing that the project lead was very clearly headed somewhere with a purpose. Malik gave his subordinates a curt nod as he passed, always maintaining his deceptively pleasant smile to conceal his racing thoughts. Cybernetic eyes scanned the journalist as Malik drew closer picking up on any bodily signs that they may have discovered something worthy of report from the oblivious Operative. He could only hope he'd made it in time. As he approached he could finally make out their conversation and what he heard made his blood run cold. "Do I know Malik? Oh you mean M.K.? Don't tell him I called him that... But uh, yeah! Yeah I know him. He's the lead for Project KB. Project KB? Oh it's-" "Excuse me, I apologize for my colleague Mr. Thoms. A very... enthusiastic man, however, I'm afraid he has a bit of a loose tongue." Malik was quick to step in, cutting off his underling in the process. *Oh thank God.* His hand dipped into his blazer's pocket, retrieving a blue handkerchief to gently dab at the sweat that'd created a sheen upon his shaved head. After, folding the handkerchief neatly and placing it back in his pocket, Malik instinctively reached for his pen. He began spinning the pen between his fingers at his side, soothing his nerves. Glowing orbs burned holes through Thoms, causing the man to shrink away slightly recognizing his severe fuck-up. Malik took a subtle deep breath, eyes fixed and calculating every minute detail of the nosey journalist before him. "And I hope you will forgive me, as I regret to inform you that Project KB is highly confidential. Which raises the question as to how you were made aware of its existence. Please... accompany me to my office, I would be happy to answer any further questions." His tone was kind, cordial as always but holding a dangerous edge. This wasn't a request. It was an order.
