CO's quarters

Didymus raised his eyebrow as Alouette grinned.

Shoot...

He looked at his PDA.

...Asuka's in the infirmary...and we have some guests...who are these-oh no. Well, I guess all I can do is receive them...

He desperately looked around for some work or an excuse to deflect this visitor...failing to find one, he slumped down in his chair, then straightened up...

Sonia paused, thinking...

"...I suppose I COULD make a visit to a colony..." she said. "...but I can't stay away for too long. SOMEONE has to run the House, you know." she said.

Soon enough, the Captain had arrived to meet with Didymus.

“Colonel. It’s an honor to meet you. I’m Jean-Luc Picard.” The second character of GS’ to be played by Patrick Stewart gave the customary salute when he entered the room.

“I’m sorry for the unscheduled interruption. However, there’s a matter I’ve been asked to bring to your attention.”

Picard took a small tablet and sat it down on the table. It broadcast a small cone around both he and Didymus; it was a protective measure developed by TerrInt for sensitive information, one that was designed to keep even Chozo or Time Lord technology from being able to overhear conversations inside the cone.

“Not long after the incident on New Marais, but before the Haven colony was set up, a few refugees from New Marais violated the quarantine and made it to Earth. At the time, it was unknown whether or not what happened was contagious, so this was considered a serious security threat.” Picard explained.

“A TerrInt special forces team found the refugees after three days. They were with a man named Daniel Rifkin, a pastor from Chicago. They were found in a remote area of Earth, in a secluded valley. Rifkin claimed that they had visited a place called ‘The Fountain’, and that it had repaired the changes in the DNA of the three refugees. Testing has shown that the three refugees do appear to be completely normal.”

Picard paused. It was a long story and he wanted to make sure that Didymus took it all in.

“The UTR took an interest in this, for obvious reasons. EarthCom dispatched the Enterprise to investigate Rifkin’s claims. Primarily, we were to discover if this Fountain did possess some kind of healing property. We investigated, but we found no difference between this fountain and other sources of water on Earth. My science officer’s final report could not account for how these three refugees’ DNA was repaired.”

Picard shrugged. “The President believes there may be another explanation, one beyond science. You’ve been requested to lead an expedition to find out. This is only a request, not an order, so you are free to decline.”

No matter how dumb, or worthless, or weird Melanie felt about herself Galv always knew what to say to make her feel beautiful and worthwhile...This was only one of the reasons she was in love with him. She wanted to kiss him, but instead found herself watching his display of electrical power and his attempt to manipulate a couple coins....

She couldn't help but to jump when they were lodged into the wall but she reacted with a large grin. "That was so cool! Can you control anything bigger.

Now Melanie was picturing Galv throwing metal beams at bad guys using only his electrical powers.

[...]

Kanna was getting drunk. It was a common feeling, happening all too often when she wanted to forget something like NERV, or her late husband, or all of her other issues.

While she never really thought much about her problem with using alcohol to forget things she did worry about her children seeing her as an unstable mess that reeked of liquor.....She wondered if staying with Melanie at that boy's house was really a good idea. She didn't want Melanie, especially after all she had been through, to have to see her mother stumble in in a drunken haze yet again....Jason could handle it, and the babies were too young to realize their mother was a whino....But Melanie was impressionable.

She didn't want the girl to turn into her.

[...]

Jason sighed, knowing this was not going to be easy. He heard Erin in the next room and called out to the girl. "Uh y-yeah, it's me. I'm coming in"

Jason then looked the Claire, lowering his voice. "Rica and Ethan found something...Of Burke's....They may possibly need your help"

Not that Jason wanted Claire's help.

Ragnarok

"I want to trust them...Really I do" Cosmo said softly, biting her lip "And i'm very grateful for all they've done for me...But what if they find out something very bad about me...Something I don't even remember. What if they change their mind...Try to hurt me...Because I did something bad"

Cosmo looked down "How can I trust anyone..."

[...]

"Then it looks like we have a side mission!" Jade said with a grin, looking back to Ben.

"But you think it'll be okay to ignore Hammah for awhile? " Crystal asked "After all he did seem a little....Well crazy"

"What choice do we have?" Gwen countered "We still don't know where he went so lets focus on what leads we do have"

“I don’t like the idea of ignoring Hammah either, but we don’t have a choice.” Sama sighed, rubbing his neck.

“Hammah has a Metal Gear… but he’s still just one guy with one robot. He could cause a lot of trouble, but the UTR could still stop him… but the Yeerks have a massive army and several species under their control. If they get a Chaos Emerald, they could be a serious threat.”

Didymus returned Picard's salute, surprised that it was THIS captain who had been called upon.

He listened with fascination as Picard went on, but tried to hide suspicion building up inside him.

The president personally requests me? And it's a "request" and not an "order"? The Enterprise was recalled to investage something on Earth, where we had how many other assets including the Terran Guard...in fact, wouldn't this still be the Guardians' field...? I...I don't like this. Especially since the find sounds too good to be true...but I'll play along...besides, if this is...

He paused, wary.

Something like this would be endangered by public attention, wouldn't it?...but, if I decline, they'll find someone else, who may not be as...hopeful, about it, as I am...

He sighed.

I can't say I know what's going on...this whole affair has the potential to be disastrous, either politically or spiritually...but even protoss psionic bullcrud is scientifically measurable, isn't it? I...I suppose I may as well...

"Any other details I should know?" he said. "What about this pastor? Has he been screened? What's his spiel?"

“I’m afraid details are one thing we lack.” Picard frowned. “As for Rifkin, he seems legitimate. My first officer checked him out. He’s from a small church in Chicago, seems to be popular enough with the locals. There’s nothing in his past to indicate he is anything other than what he claims to be.”

Picard paused. “As for the Fountain, Rifkin told me that we wouldn’t not find anything abnormal about it. He said that the waters were not what was important, that traveling there was merely a exercise in devotion, and that it was that devotion that actually helped the refugees.”

The starship captain shrugged. “He may be right. We could find nothing else that could account for what happened. Still, there’s no way to be certain, since by the time we arrived, whatever Rifkin had done was already over. Rifkin has agreed to have a small Republic team accompany him on another expedition. A few refugees are going with him. You’ve been asked to go as well, and see first hand if what Rifkin claims is the truth.”

Didymus listened to the details, and took it all in for a moment.

Still sounds like it has "SET UP" written all over it. So many unanswered questions...

"...very well." he finally said.

Picard nodded.

“Excellent, Colonel. I wish you luck in your endeavor. On a personal note, I do believe there is more to be found than what we could discover. I don’t know exactly what it is… but I do hope that whatever it is, you’ll find it.”

He pressed a button on the tablet and the cone of silence disappeared. Then, he typed a few keys on the screen. Then he pushed the tablet towards Didymus.

“All of the information, locations and a full copy of my team’s report are on there. It’s Eyes-Only, so naturally access is restricted to you and whatever team you put together for this. There’s also a secure, direct line to the command team so you can report your findings.”

He saluted once more. “Good luck, Colonel.”

Didymus returned Picard's salute but paused, looking over the tablet.

Whatever team...?

He thought.

He called in Rachel, and the two had a short conversation.

Namely, he reminded her of her duties/his personal requests should he ever vanish under mysterious circumstances.

He began making his way toward the hangar, after he had suited up, wondering if he'd bump into anyone on his way...

I can't see what you're imagining
-House Hedgehog-

“Corneria. The missing noble was visiting a summer house there, it seems, so I was going to start there,” Sonic answered, “Ask the locals, all that. I could really use you Sonia. Tails is coming too, and he's smart, but you'd pick up details he, Manic, and I would miss.”

-Haven-

“I'm not entirely sure, to be honest...” Galv said, “I haven't had a chance to try. I can't do at all if I have too much distracting me, so, it's not very good for combat...”

He paused, thinking, “Though I suppose I could essentially use myself as a rail gun for long distance attacks...”

Another pause, then Galv grinned at Melanie, realizing she probably wouldn't be too interested in the science behind what he was thinking.

“Anyways, why don't we find out! I think there's a place near hear the U.T.R. set up so people can test their abilities in a safe environment...You could practice that shadow hopping you did!” Galv suggested.



“I see...I'll contact them once you take Erin and Solanna,” Claire said, not bothering to ask for more details. She'd find them out later.

She stepped aside to let Jason in, Erin walking up to him, holding Solanna, looking towards him.

“Hey Jason...” Erin said, pausing. She was engaged to marry him...but she still couldn't remember this young man.

She...liked him though. She found herself restless when he wasn't around, wondering when he'd be back. And she had really liked kissing him...

“Is everything okay?” she asked.

-Ragnarok-

“Then I'll stop them from hurting you!” Silver said, “I won't leave your side, no matter what happens. I know you're good and kind. And...if you really want to leave, we can. Is there any place in particular you'd like to go?”



“It's not going to be simple, getting unto the Taxxon home world,” Ben mentioned, “The Andalites have attempted both military and spies, and neither option has worked...Only one Andalite has gone to the Taxxon home world and returned...”

He frowned, “And I doubt he'll tell us any details...But if we're going to do this, we have to be sneaky. If we get caught...well, the Taxxon home world is one of the strongest military bases of the Yeerk Empire...”

-T.R.S. Crusader-

“Will she be brought back to operational status soon, Doctor McCoy?” Omega inquired, stepping back once he had put Asuka down. If he could, Omega would look worried.

Sama gave a sly grin as Ben explained how difficult it would be to sneak in. The young commander of Philanthropy didn’t seem discouraged in the least.

“Sneaking into one of the strongest military bases the Yeerk’s have? Sounds fun!” Sama declared, clapping his hands together. “Don’t worry Ben, I realize how serious this is, and I realize how difficult and dangerous it will be… but I was trained by Solid Snake, and there’s no one better at infiltrating enemy territory in the entire universe!”

Sama nodded. “Trust me. We can do this. I mean, I’m Snake’s apprentice, and you’re Ben Tennyson. When has something being stupid and dangerous ever slowed you down? I bet we’ll have that Chaos Emerald and be off to get burgers before the Yeerks even realized what happened.”

And I bet things will go horribly, horribly wrong.

[TRS Crusader]

McCoy shook his head. Under better circumstances, he would have made an annoyed comment about Omega’s terminology, but right now he was too busy with Asuka. He had already injected her with a nanomachine that would travel through her system and display images on a monitor so that he could get a better picture of what he was dealing with. And advanced X-Ray like device was giving him another look as well.

“Damn it… something isn’t right. There’s something in her system that just isn’t sitting well, but I don’t know what it is… hell, this girl has one of the most confusing genetic structures of anyone in the galaxy!”

McCoy was right, of course. Asuka had been born an ordinary girl, but NERV had transformed her DNA as they had done to so many others… then she had been infested by the Zerg, further twisting her genetic code and her physical body. That infestation was removed by the Protoss, but there had been traces left, and the Psionic energy had caused even further changes.

McCoy was as close to an expert as you could get, and he had no idea what was wrong or how to fix it.

[…]

“Colonel!” A call came to Didymus from his PDA. “Soryu is in sick-bay, it looks serious!”

Haven

Melanie's eyes lit up at the idea of the two working on their powers...Actually she didn't really care what they were doing as long as they were spending time together. That and she didn't really want to be around when her mother came back from drinking. She wondered how hard it would be to stay the night there-

What was she saying? She needed to stop plotting her constant escape. She was in no condition to be gone for too long anyways....

"Okay! Let's go!"

[....]

Jason looked to Erin, finding the girl's expression....Well, it was strange but he couldn't read it. He couldn't tell if she liked him or hated him....But she wasn't running away or screaming so he supposed he was doing pretty good.

Jason's thoughts were interrupted by a little cooing noise, and he grinned. Solanna was looking up at him and blowing spit bubbles....Kinda gross but mostly cute. Jason gave a little grin and wiggled his fingers in front of the little girl. Instantly Solanna reacted, grabbing her father's thumb.

"Everything's fine, we're going to go home...If you want....I don't know if you'd rather stay here. "

After all he didn't want to force the girl two be all alone with him.

This relationship was complicated...

[...]

Kanna didn't want to stay out too late...She was already starting to smell like booze and smoke and her head was feeling a bit fuzzy. Luckily she remembered where Jacob's home was...

The woman stumbled through the front door...She felt like a teenager sneaking in after curfew.

Ragnarok

"I don't know many other places...Other than home" Cosmo said, thinking carefully "I wish I could go somewhere like that...With lots of plants and nature and water...While I appreciate being here being on a ship is a lot like being in a city...Empty and dead. Nothing lives when you're surrounded by metal and machines..."
[...]

"Overly optimistic Sama is right! This will be a piece of cake!" Jade exclaimed, clapping her hand on Ben's back. "We'll be in and out in no time"

"While I appreciate the fact that you're agreeing with Sama i've gotta side with Ben....You're entirely too nonchalant about this. What if they catch us?"

"We shoot them?" Jade offered with a shrug

Crystal groaned "What if we can' shoot them?"

"Then Ben will step on them! Won't you Ben!?"

Sama grinned and stepped forward.

“They won’t catch us. I’ve got something that’s will prevent them from finding us at all!”

The boy grinned, and walked over to the wall. He typed into the computer and pressed a few buttons and suddenly several small rectangular devices appeared on the counter.

“These are Stealth Camo. Otacon invented them! You clip it to your clothes and they emit a field that basically turns you invisible. People can still see the movement, so we’ll have to move slow, but we’re basically invisible.”

Snake had never relied on the Stealth Camo… but Sama’s a lot clumsier than Snake.

[Haven]

Dr. Jack Maddox was on duty at the moment at the training facility. His current job was to oversee the people who came to practice their powers, and to monitor them.

However, he was in his office at the moment, reading about a certain group of ex-NERV folks who had been invited to Haven.

“… My, my… how interesting.” He looked absolutely livid.

Sonia paused.

"The war zone? This...may be just a wild goose chase, you know that, right?" she said.

Didymus shook his head at the doctor's message.

You're just making me late to my own funeral, perhaps, in order to keep me for someone else's...

Still, he eventually made his way to the infirmary.

"What have we got, doctor?"

“I haven’t got a damn clue.” McCoy shook his head, turning to Didymus.

“She’s got the most complex system I’ve ever seen. Nothing makes sense. She’s having some kind of attack on her system… I’m not sure what’s causing it, if it’s something the Zerg did, or if it’s something new.”

He shook his head. “I’m not sure I can fix this.”
