[ WP ] A villian who thinks he 's a hero realizes he 's the villian . What is he thinking ?

*November 6th* 
 
 I have been made aware of rumors that the local government is secretly working on Agent M, a biological weapon: airborne, highly infectious, and lets you bleed to death within 24 hours. I have alerted my superiors, although I am not convinced that the local military has the necessary resources to develop bio agents. Maybe they bought some cultures on the black market. Anyway, this is not something you want in the hands of a third-world dictatorship.

 One of my assets confirmed that a certain laboratory did indeed procure a culture of Agent M. Unfortunately, he was unable to provide any further details. Sometimes I wonder why we invented this weapon in the first place. It is naive to think that military secrets can not be stolen and sold. Thank God for people like me who clean up the mess.

 The higher-ups have authorized a seizure operation, and we are to prevent the proliferation of any knowledge about Agent M by any means necessary. That's an elaborate way to say `` Kill everyone and torch the place.'' Desperate times call for desperate measures. An outbreak would easily become global, and there is no viable antiserum.

 The mission was a complete success. We assaulted the lab complex as planned and neutralized all resistance within minutes. I think we took them completely by surprise. There were just a few scientists in white lab coats. Well, not so white any more. 
 
 A minor incident occurred when we were about the destroy the vials with Agent M and a few other unknown substances. One of the fatally wounded scientists grabbed my boot and said a single word in his native language. I think it meant medicine. Well, there is no cure for a fatal gut wound, so I put him out of his misery. Then we deployed the incendiary bomb, disposed of our weapons, and returned to base. 
 
 Everything went textbook, and yet I can not help thinking that something is off. Maybe it's just nerves. I have scheduled a return flight tonight for a full debrief at home tomorrow. Commercial flight, economy class. Budgetary reasons, they said. At least I'm going to see my family again. 
 
 *Addendum: * 
 I boarded the plane, and I figured it out. There were no dispersal systems to deploy Agent M. Whatever those guys were doing, they were definitely not building a weapon. But if they were not planning to use Agent M, what were they doing? 
 
 I just realized that my nose is bleeding.
