Leo sighed upon hearing this as he already had a good idea why Banshee would not talk by her codename.
She was most likely shunned due to her injury resulting in her becoming a social outcast.
However, Leo was unsure on why she was in an infiltration team, if she did not talk alot then that would probably obstruct foundation duties.
At the same time the foundation would also value someone who could keep their mouth shut.
Leo shook off that thought and once again attempted to make social contact with her, but she refused to open up to him.
Leo knew that it would most likely not work, she seemed to only talk if it was required.
However, Leo already knew a way to open her up a little bit.
It was a bold move, but Leo decided to do it.
Leo first slowed down a bit, walking a solid fifteen meters behind the main group.
He tapped Banshee on her shoulder and pointed down to his left arm.
Banshee looked at his arm with her same uninterested eyes, she was about to look away but was stopped by an absurd phenomenon that Leo caused.
Leo shapeshifted his arm into a crooked blade before looking back at Banshee.
Her facial expression was utter shock, she kept looking back and forward at Leo's arm and face.
Leo decided to speak since he did not want her to get any wrong ideas from it.
"I am also not seen as normal, don't let other people influence you so much.
That scar on your face is your identity, don't let other people use it against you. That will only lead to your demise and you know it as well."
Banshee still looked at Leo in shock, this time Leo didn't know if it was because of what he said or if it was because he shapeshifted his hand.
"What... Are you..." spoke Banshee with a hoarse voice.
"Now that's progression. Don't tell your other teammates, the only reason I am telling you is because you are quite similar to me, except that you let your uniquity influence you negatively.
I pretty much am a shapeshifter that got caught by MC&D, instead of auctioning me off they chose to let me join a squad and grow."
Only the sound of Leo's footsteps remained for a while.
"Now I will ask you again, what is your real name? Since I don't want to refer to you as Banshee continuously." said Leo in a serious tone.
"My name is..."
"Go on, what's your name?"
"Silverie..."
A smile appeared on Leo's face.
"Alright Silverie, my name is Leo. As you already have noticed I am not human, most people fear me because they don't understand, I hope you won't turn out that way."
Silverie nodded.
In reality, Leo's intentions were not so pure as he had another goal in the back of his head.
And that goal would be to obtain information on what happened and how they were captured.
"So, mind telling me what the classified info was that you guys ended up obtaining?"
Silverie looked around, ensuring herself that no one was listening in on their conversation before whispering into Leo's ear.
"We mostly found random documents and information on SCPs, but there was one document that stood out. It was fully encoded and it took a while to decode, it turned out to be information on the whereabouts of O5-1."
Leo's eyes popped wide open upon hearing the information.
Information on a O5 was arguably one of the most valuable information obtainable.
"Are you sure it is correct and not a decoy?" questioned Leo.
Silverie shook her head.
"I... don't know. That's what we were trying to figure out before we got nabbed by the security guards, turned out a personnel member spotted us in the process and reported us."
"No worries anymore, we are about to go back to HQ so you will be safe."
Suddenly Artemis stopped moving and checked the watch on his wrist.
He turned around and raised his hand high in the air, signaling everyone to stop as well."
"We have arrived at the exfil location, helicopter arriving in ETA 5 minutes, at ease."
