Gendo let out a slight sigh. It sounded like he was irritated. His eyes stayed on Claire and he stepped forward.

“… I do nothing for my own ends, Claire. Everything I have ever done, and everything I intend to do, is for the good of mankind. I thought that you were someone who understood that… apparently I was mistaken.” Gendo shook his head. “Sacrifices must be made, Claire. What is a handful of lives compared to billions? What is the discomfort or pain of a few to secure the future for mankind?”

He shook his head. “No, Claire. I will not allow such utter nonsense as ‘emotion’ or ‘morals’ to derail what must be done. If you attempt to interfere in my business, I will have to kill you. So whatever it is you have in mind… for your sake… for the sake of mankind; get over it.”

[…]

As soon as Samuel threw his fist at Shinji’s head, Shinji spun around in a flash and caught Samuel’s fist with telekinesis. Shinji’s head was tilted at the side, and he was crying… but he was also holding back Samuel.

“… Please… I don’t want to, I don’t want to… I didn’t mean to… it wasn’t my intention… please go away…”

[Hyperion Factory]

The tram soon arrived at a very large building. It was the main factory. Blake led them in through the door, and they walked in silence down a long corridor. To the left, they could see the factory floor where several robotic Loaders were hard at work.

Soon they came to a boardroom. Blake opened the door and led them all to a table.

“… Now. Let’s get down to business. I’ve read your… allegations. You. Colonel. I’d like to know your opinion on matters.”

[Mars]

[Capitol Building]

“… You won’t find them, Doctor. They’re quite gone.”

A man stepped out from behind the building. He wore a tuxedo and had neatly trimmed hair.

“They took the boy. The Earth President’s son.” The man told him, looking up to him. “… and you can’t chase after them. If you do, the boy will die. He’s barely alive. The ones who took him can treat him… keep him alive. If you try to ‘save’ him, he’ll be sure to die.”

[Outskirts]

Azula’s eyes widened as Ben transformed and she silently swore. When he sent a blast of lightning at her, Azula took it head on – but she aimed her arm to the side, and arced the lightning around her body.

“… You’re getting on my damn nerves, Tennyson!” Azula growled.

Didymus was remaining quiet and alert this time, simply, again, waiting...


“… Now. Let’s get down to business. I’ve read your… allegations. You. Colonel. I’d like to know your opinion on matters.”


"Does that matter?" Didymus asked.

"I'm not the one conducting this investigation-or at least, not the one who's going to be asking most of the questions. I'm sure that the officers attached to the project will have their own opinions, but if you must know-I think you just got a little bold, at least. Testing without escorts in an area of space not entirely secure-either suspect, careless, or just plain bold."

I can't see what you're imagining
-Haven-

Claire liked to think of herself as cold. Uncaring. Scientific, logical, unfettered by things that would stop most people from doing what N.E.R.V. had done.

But...she had made mistakes. Fallen for someone very bad for her. Had a child, and in her own odd way, had cared for her son greatly, even if she had never been able to show it.

And he...he had cared for his half-sister, the daughter of the man that made Claire even more bitter then she already was...

“...I've spent most of my life, getting over it...” Claire said quietly, “I've seen people like you doing what they want because it was 'for the betterment of humanity.' Burke, Kessler, Russel, Rouge...You...All those people... Hell, I thought that way too. But is humanity really any better now then it was before? I realize now I can't save billions, millions, or even thousands of lives. But maybe I can help save a handful.”

The water pipe in the wall by Gendo suddenly creaked, and water burst out, freezing and trying to form around him!



Samuel paused, trying to fight back against the telekinetic, but found himself unable to.

“… Please… I don’t want to, I don’t want to… I didn’t mean to… it wasn’t my intention… please go away…”

“...If you don't want to, then stop...You don't have to do this,” Samuel said quietly. Maybe he could reason with him.

With Shinji? About as likely as starting a fire underwater with only an orange and a gallon of maple syrup.

-Mars-

Capitol Building

The Doctor spun, staring at the new figure.

“...And how do you know all this?” The Doctor asked carefully.

Outskirts

“Good!” Ben/Feedback laughed, dashing forward at Azula, ducking low and sweeping his legs, trying to trip her!

-Hyperion Factory-

Omega made note of the robotic Loaders, but didn't pay them much mind. They were not sentient, nothing like he was. They were as important to him as a horse might be to a human.

He stood quietly in the boardroom, recording the conversation as well.

Gendo would have replied to Claire, but suddenly the water pipe burst and it seemed that Gendo was going to be frozen solid! However, Mara quickly pressed a button on her watch and a bright orange force-field shot up around Gendo and herself.

“I’m tired of these distractions, Ikari.” Mara said and she grabbed a small device from her belt and aimed it at Claire; she fired a laser that went out of the force-field and right at Claire!

[…]

Shinji looked up at Samuel, his head tilted and tears in his eyes. “I don’t want to, I don’t want to, I don’t want this…”

He sent out a powerful wave of telekinesis, throwing Samuel across the room!

[/Normally GS wouldn’t auto like that, but Sammy will be fine. XD]

[Mars]

[Capitol Building]

The man in the tuxedo laughed and stepped forward. There was something in his eyes that was dark, sinister… and the way he looked at the Doctor showed contempt in his face. Yet he had a smile on his face. The sort of fake smile one would see in a politician.

“You’re not the only one who has been investigating the Red Lanterns.” The British man laughed. “I can tell you this… the Red Lanterns are the least of your concern. They’re nothing more than puppets dancing at the hands of cruel masters.”

He narrowed his eyes at the Doctor. “… There’s an organization at work here, Doctor. A conspiracy. The UTR is their target. They intend to overthrow the UTR.”

He paused, and smirked. “… and I’ll tell you one more interesting fact. This conspiracy… there is a Time Lord among their ranks. An old friend of yours, unless I’m mistaken.”

[Outskirts]

Azula growled as Ben/Feedback rushed at her. She narrowly jumped over his sweeping kick, but she stumbled as she evaded him and hit the wall. She groaned and quickly turned around, and started throwing fireballs!

“Don’t think you’ve got any upper hand on me, Tennyson!”

[Hyperion Factory]

“Of course it matters.” Blake replied, in his usual calm and cold voice. “You’re a decorated Officer, and the commander of one of humanity’s fleets. I daresay you are more qualified to speak to these matters than myself, or Senator Heartilly. No offense, of course.”

When Didymus gave his answer, Blake nodded in understanding.

“I see. Yes, I suppose that is true. However… we were supposed to have a security escort. We hired a private security firm, but they did not show up. We needed to proceed without them. The test had to be conducted.” Blake explained. “Believe me, I will see into why they did not show up.”

“Do you honestly think that’s a good enough answer?” Rinoa asked, her arms crossed.

When Rinoa asked her question, Didymus resisted the urge to shake his head or comment that "Yes, it is." He wanted to be professional in this situation; and he didn't think Rinoa was doing very well if she was trying to get answers-

"I don't suppose you could tell us the name of that security firm, or what the plan was? We MAY be able to help investigate the leak, and considering how military personnel were endangered by this, it may be a concern of ours as well as yours." he said.

Maybe he just felt like throwing her a metaphorical bone. Or maybe it was because he knew that if indeed Rinoa's thus-far circumstantial hunch was accurate...bad things could happen if they didn't get results.

Claire cursed, dodging to the side as the laser passed by her, scorching the side of her arm.

She focused, water forming around her hand before it froze, sending ice shards at Mara now!



Galv looked up, hearing noise above him. Fighting, and a loud thud...

They must be acting now!

Galv focused, electricity sparking around him, sending it upwards into the ceiling!



Samuel hit the far wall, glaring at Shinji.

“Then stop this! Let me go!”

The floor between him and Shinji exploded, electricity bursting through the floor!

-Mars-

Capitol Building

The Doctor stared at the man, then held up his hand, the one with the Blue Lantern ring.

It glowed for a moment, then floated off his hand, The Doctor returning to his normal outfit, putting the ring into his coat pocket now.

“I see...and who are you, and how do you know this?” The Doctor asked, stepping forward himself, “This all smells very fishy...And not the good kind, with custard...”

Outskirts

Feedback held up his hands, absorbing the fire through them! The alien was capable of absorbing energy, it seemed.

And was pretty much the best alien to fight Azula.

“Thanks for the boost!” Ben laughed, leaping into the air and spinning, bringing his foot down to try and kick the girl!

[Hyperion Factory]

Blake shrugged his shoulder sympathetically.

“I would be delighted to tell you… unfortunately, legalities prevent me from doing so. The contract we signed with them comes with a non-disclosure agreement, you see. Given they failed to live up to the contract, we may be able to get around that… in time. Until we see a judge, however, my hands are quite tied.”

Rinoa scowled. It was a devious tactic to hide behind a supposed non-disclosure agreement. There was no way they could find out if Blake was telling the truth or not… and if she demanded that they explain anyway, Hyperion could spin everything. Claim the government was forcing them to violate the law.

Rinoa was beginning to realize she had underestimated Hyperion. At that moment, she very badly wanted a meeting with the enigmatic President of Hyperion, a man known only as ‘Handsome Jack’. She doubted that she could arrange that.

“Now… I’ve prepared all of the relevant information into a data disc. It is readable on the type of PDA employed by military officers.”

He snapped his fingers and the door opened. A small robot rolled into the room and delivered the disc to Rinoa, who frowned and handed it to Didymus.

[Haven]

The shards of ice impacted on Mara’s shield and were deflected off. The shield seemed to glow bright orange as they deflected the ice, and Mara simply smirked.

“Come now. Gendo has given me access to all of NERV’s old files. I’ve prepared this shield specifically to combat the abilities that each and every one of you possesses. You’ll find it’s quite impossible for you to even scratch us.” Mara announced in a tone of smug superiority.

Rica’s eyebrow rose.

“The NERV files? How did a man whose been in prison for years have access to those?” Rica wondered. “… Ah, I see… the attack on Haven last week… you were responsible for that. You stole Burke’s files.”

Mara frowned a bit as she looked towards Rica. “… So I did. I thought they may come in handy. They obviously have… not just in making us impervious to the lot of you, but they also prove what I’ve known for a very, very long time.”

Her eyes narrowed. “Burke was an amateur compared to me.”




Shinji was still muttering the same few lines over and over, and clutching his head. Suddenly the ground exploded and electricity shot through the room. Shinji, as if by instinct, used his telekinesis to bend the lightning away from him – but in doing so, he stopped concentrating on Samuel!

[Mars]

[Capitol Building]

The man simply smirked as The Doctor asked who he was. He stepped forward and adjusted his tie and straightened his cufflinks.

“Come now, Doctor, has it been so long you’ve forgotten me? Well… I daresay I do look different now than the last time we spoke.” Way back forever ago when I last used this guy.

“My name is Bond. James Bond.” He replied with a smirk. “At least that’s what I go by these days.”

[Outskirts]

Azula gasped as she was kicked in the chest and thrown back into the ground with a loud thud. She groaned, rolling over onto her side. This new alien of Ben’s could absorb both her lightning and her fire, and that meant her powers were utterly useless.

She swore… and then raised her hand, shooting a beam of red light from her Red Lantern ring at Ben/Feedback, trying to contain him in a bubble!

"But surely you can get something on it? Legally? I mean, again, military personnel were put in danger by their apparent failure to live up to the contract. Heck, if they failed, does that invalidate it? At any rate, I'm confident a legal subpoena can investigate these claims, though that will take more time and energy for all concerned, and...well, frankly, I'm sure the Republic has a lot of agents that are a LOT less in favor of corporate rights than I am."

“Now… I’ve prepared all of the relevant information into a data disc. It is readable on the type of PDA employed by military officers.”

"Ah...very good, then. Thank you. I'll get on this, let me see here..."

He took the disc and paused, wondering if he should investigate the files here.

"...may I ask how MUCH information is on this? Or should we adjourn to read this info? At any rate, Miss Heartilly, if you want to have a look, maybe see if anything strikes you as worth asking about before we go?"

He plugged the disc in and began glancing over it.

He had his expression locked from the start, before he even started to read it, so that he would betray no emotion...but these files looked intriguing...

Samuel was released, then jumped towards Shinji, leaping over the hole in the ground, trying to tackle him and knock Shinji out!

Meanwhile, Galv focused, sending a blast of lightning downwards, using it to boost himself upwards, jumping into the room!



Claire frowned, her attacks not doing anything.

This was proving more difficult then she thought...



“...Sounds like it's time to do something,” Lily said, turning to Melanie, “Try not to screw things up.”

-Mars-

Capitol Building

The Doctor paused, then laughed, shaking his head.

“It's been too long. Still doing that secret agent thing?” The Doctor asked, “I could use your help...There's far too few of us left to let another run around causing havoc...”

Outskirts

The bubble went over Feedback, and Ben focused, sending a powerful electrical punch, intending to shatter the shield!

[Haven]

Shinji was grabbed by Samuel and he immediately started to scream loudly and refocused his telekinesis on Samuel. It would be like a rocket had just collided with Samuel’s chest as Shinji frantically tried to get him off!




Mara stepped forward, looking to Claire.

“… It’s the same for all of you. Your entire species is so arrogant. I suppose it’s a trait to be admired that you never allow the odds to get you down… but really, it defies all logic and common sense. You must realize that even with the gifts given to you by NERV, you are still vastly inferior.”

[Mars]

[Capitol Building]

Bond had a rather… unusual smirk on his face. He adjusted the collar of his suit and stepped forward.

“You have my help, at least as much as I can give. As for the precious few of our kind who remain… I’m sorry to say we’d be better off without them.”

He handed the Doctor a thumb drive. “I can tell you this. The Red Lanterns are connected to her. So is the terrorist group that attacked Haven and stole Burke’s research. I don’t know if she’s the mastermind behind what’s happening, but I wouldn’t be surprised.”

Bond frowned. “Be careful, Doctor. She’s spent a very long time coming up with these plans. As near as I can tell, she’s been working towards this goal for decades. Whatever her endgame is… it won’t be good.”

[Outskirts]

The shield shattered and Azula was thrown back! She cried out as she hit the ground, screaming in pain and grabbing her arm.

“Augh… damn you…” Azula growled.

[Hyperion Factory]

“In my opinion, yes, their failure invalidates the contract.” Blake said, nodding his head. “However, my opinion holds little legal weight. Until the contact has been nullified in a court of law, I cannot break it. I do apologize, but my hands are quite tied.”

“Hold on,” Asuka stepped forward. “People almost died. Marines almost died. And you’re going to refuse to help because you’re afraid it’ll hurt your company’s image? What’s your image going to look like when people find out you nearly got a bunch of Marines killed?”

Blake maintained perfect composure. “That is most regrettable, and you have my sincerest apologies. However, the failure at hand does not lie with Hyperion, but with the security firm. As soon as I am legally allowed to disclose what that firm was, I should hope the government will investigate their failures. But I cannot do that yet, so I must ask your patience.”

Didymus shook his head.

"The contract's GOING to be nullified in a court of law, if your company or even theirs has sense. Yours at least. And I'm sure a subpoena can get to the bottom of this one way or another. I'm...sorry it may need to come to that, but it may be necessary at this point-though if you CAN say anything I urge you to now-I assure you, if they hear it from me, it'll be better for you then when they send a...less favorable...agent."

Still, the information he had given them DID look interesting, at least at first glance. He maintained composure as well, not reacting to the fact they may have had all they needed...

"As it stands, I'm not sure that we have anything else to discuss..."

Samuel kept hold of Shinji as he was shot back, trying to take him with him!

Galv looked around wildly, hands sparking, trying to figure out what to do...



“...Humans can not be inferior. They can only be different,” Claire scowled.

“Claire...we might just have to go along with this, for now...” Ethan said, speaking up. Claire frowned, glaring at Ethan now too.

-Mars-

Capitol Building

“Thank you,” The Doctor said, pocketing the thumb drive, “I'm going to do everything I can to stop whatever they have planned...”

He sighed, shaking his head, “You handle one threat, three more appear...”

Outskirts

Ben/Feedback stood over Azula, hands on his hips, grinning down at the girl.

“Alright then. Hand over the ring and put your hands up. Under Plumber authority, I'm putting you under arrest,” Ben said, “You can come quietly, or I'll take you in by force.”

-Hyperion Factory-

Omega wished he could just point a cannon at this Blake and force him to tell them what they wanted to know, but he was aware that this would be a social faux pas.

He remained quiet though... making sure to record everything that he could.

Melanie frowned, having finally decided to follow Lily and allow Galv to go with his father. She did not like or trust the girl at all...But right now she didn't want to fight with Galv or his father...

"So now what?" she mumbled, hands glowing dimmly black just in case she needed to attack someone suddenly.

[...]

Meanwhile for once Kanna was entirely focused on her babies...Well mostly...She couldn't help but think about the others, and their little 'field trip' without her. But she knew where she was needed. She wouldn't let anyone touch her children.

Too bad she couldn't protect Melanie and Jason too....

Shinji was screaming now, and thrashing in Samuel’s arms. His telekinetic energy was flying around the room, tearing the walls and the floor apart.

One wave of energy crashed into a standing cabinet at the far end of the room, but amazingly the cabinet was not damaged while the rest of the room was. It appeared to be an ordinary wooden cabinet, though.




Mara suddenly paused as a beeping went off on her watch. She looked down at it and scowled.

“… I see. So you were trying to distract us and break into my apartment… and if you were messing with that…”

She seemed to be muttering to herself.

“Ikari, I think my cover has been blown. This is a problem. Now I’m going to have to kill Douglas.” Mara frowned, raised her watch and pressing a button – firing a bright red laser at Claire!

[Mars]

[Capitol Building]

“That’s the way it’s always been.” Bond replied, shaking his head. “I would help you more if I could, but there’s another matter that requires my attention. Good luck, Doctor.”

He turned and headed down one of the alleyways.

[Outskirts]

Azula groaned, looking up at Ben. She stared at him for a moment and then started to laugh. She laughed for several seconds, and actually grabbed her side. She was genuinely laughing, not just being a sarcastic witch.

“You’re joking, right?” Azula laughed, sitting up and looking at Tennyson. “No… I think I’ll be leaving.”

She pointed up behind Ben, where a large ship had appeared above them.

“So long, Tennyson!” Azula called. Lasers shot from above, and a small mechanical orb floated down and shot out a mechanical claw, grabbing Azula and picking her up, lifting her towards the ship!

[Hyperion Factory]

“… Very well, Colonel. I will do what I can. Would you please wait here, I will go and place a call to Mr. Jack and see if I can get authorization to tell you.” Blake said, and he turned and headed for the door.

Asuka was tapping her fingers on the table. As soon as Blake was gone, she groaned.

“These guys are jerking our chain. They’re not going to tell us anything.” Asuka groaned.

“I agree. And the information they turned over is pretty spotty.” Rinoa frowned, leaning back. “They’re just going to stonewall us and hope that we forget about the whole thing.”

A moment later, an alarm went off… and an explosion could be heard from the direction of the factory floor. A speaker came on in the room, and Blake’s voice could be heard.

“Colonel, we have a slight situation on the floor. It appears there’s a malfunction in one of our Loaders. I’m afraid the situation is quite dangerous.”

Suddenly the wall exploded open, causing Rinoa to scream and fall from her chair.

A massive construction loader had burst into the room. Sparks were flying from near its ‘eye’, and it immediately raised the gun arm and opened fire!

“...We'll follow them,” Lily said to Melanie, watching the ruckus, hiding still with the other girl, “Claire isn't going to be able to win this, it's stupid to follow her plan. So stay quiet and stay alert...”



Claire focused, making a shield of ice in front of her. The laser blew through it, but the freezing water's temperature had been lowered rapidly, and managed to refract the laser just enough for Claire to stop it from hitting her.

She breathed deeply, staring at Mara, “You're going to have to do better then that...”

“Claire, get out of here,” Ethan said, “We can handle this...”

Claire glared at Ethan, then turned back to Mara and Ikari.

“...Bye then...” Claire said, then turned to steam suddenly, disappearing!



Samuel didn't notice the cabinet, too busy holding for dear life ...something... but Galv did, ducking and weaving and trying to avoid the telekinetic bursts.

He dove for it, trying to get behind it...Maybe he could use it as a shield of some kind...

-Mars-

Capitol Building

The Doctor nodded, turning and heading back into the building, to get back to his T.A.R.D.I.S...

This did not go as he had hoped...but he had saved Mars... for now.

“Hey!” Ben yelled as Azula took off with the ship. He leaped upwards, using his energy to increase his jump height, but falling short of the her, falling back down and landing on the ground with a thud.

“Darn it! She got away again!” Ben yelled, changing back to normal in a flash of green light, slamming his hand down on the red dirt of Mars.

-Hyperion Factory-

“Yippee-yee-kiyay!” Omega shouted as the robot burst through the room.

He charged forward, smashing his fist into the other robot's face as it started to open fire, intending to push it back and beat it down!

“Worthless consumer model!” Omega yelled as well.
