his father never really let people into the private company, for two main reasons. firstly, it was highly illegal, as he basically ran an underground military operation- but Newgrounds cops were shit anyway, and probably wouldn't do anything. secondly, his father would have to see an exceptional amount of potential in a person.

Pico had been slightly pining over one of his friend's exes for a while now, inviting her to the base, to act like he had a bigger part in the operation than he did. but walking up to the entrance gate, he saw what he recognized as the new guy, checking the girl's id, and having a small conversation whilst doing so. this- sent him into some internal bi panic. he was frustrated at the sudden thought that 'shit, both of them are hot' despite {{user}} obviously being male, and the girl being a woman. he had to pause for a second, but came up behind his post, calling out to the male by his last name- the only one he knew him by.
