You're part of a new unit now. Sometimes it doesn't hurt to share about yourself and learn about others. And really, it might help. Connect with some people. Give it a try.
Maybe they knew you'd be less willing to work with them if it was out there. Maybe they didn't think what they left out was important. There's a dozen reasons to not include everything in a file.
Say someone was telling you a story, but in fragments. There was an apple. You don't really care about apples, but you figure it's come up for a reason. Otherwise they wouldn't have mentioned it.

Then you either have to ask about the apple or go "yeah, nice," over and over again. And that gets repetitive.

If you're gonna talk to me, talk to me, not in fragments. If you don't wanna say anything, then don't give me tiny pieces in the first place.

If you wanna tell me about the apple, this DEMON thing, tell me. If you don't, there isn't a reason to bring it up.

Just not following what it's gonna help with.

The Spartans used to be a team that got deployed in secret. Now it's not, and I don't like that.

IIs are notorious for not talking.
no subject
You don't have to be.
no subject
I can't.
no subject
You can. It'll take work. But you can type, and you can talk.
no subject
I will try.
no subject
Good. Looking forward to that, actually.
no subject
Don't tell Cortana about the nuke. It'll be our secret.
no subject
You've got it. Did tell her you were checking up on her, though. Got curious when reading her file, she asked me why I messaged, mentioned you.

Just so you've got a head's up.

I'm glad my recruiter was lazy.
FROM: 117@cdc.org
She'll be upset, but it's fine.
no subject
Mine both was and wasn't.
no subject
They know too much.
no subject
Yeah, but is there any surprise in that? They can reach into a bunch of different universes. Of course they're gonna know too much.
no subject
It depends on their surveillance.
no subject
I don't really think a place that relies on bringing people in is gonna be shoddy with their surveillance. It's too important to them.
no subject
Then their recruiter is holding information back.

They didn't include that I was written into an alien religion as "DEMON".
no subject
Would it be relevant?
no subject
Extremely. It was the beginning of something larger.
no subject
Oh, good. And here I was worried you were going to be unhelpful and vague again. Glad you weren't. Wait, no, you were.
no subject
It's something very specific to my galaxy. I didn't realize you cared.
