SO I WOULD super like to put Bucky through operative boot camp on Metzger's ship once he's past his initial hesitance to jack into the Matrix, maybe in a couple weeks?? Bucky would gravitate toward a tight-run ship and respond better to a harsher style of command (y...ay, thanks HYRDA) vs. a more coddling approach, and in turn he's highly disciplined and efficient and good at murder, if a total disaster on the interpersonal front. He's got some fledgling machine-hatred, too.

I could even see him sticking on a while depending on how things jive and where his own character development goes, but either way.
