"Thank you, captain."

He paused.

"...I could perhaps use some time in the chapel as well..." he said, stepping in, to wait and to pray.

“I enjoy the company of you and other humans, Comrade Didymus,” Omega said, as Alouette left to talk to Asuka. He scratched his head now, something he had picked up from being around humans, “But your myriad of relationships you humans can have with one another is staggering. For me, one is either a Comrade, a civilian, or a target. Simple.”

-Odd Planet: Factory-

“Then let them try this on for size!” Jimi yelled. He flexed his right arm, the armor shifting on him slightly, something shooting backwards from the below. He slammed his hand downwards, the piston from the elbow shooting down as well hard, transferring a blast of kinetic energy into the ground, sending it towards the Vorchas, trying to knock them back!

-Pandora-

Samuel sighed, nodding his head and turning to Ethan, holding out his hand for the Orb. Ethan handed it over, and Ethan stared hard up at Samuel, who nodded slowly.

“Alright, where is this Vault then?” Samuel asked.

If there was power behind the Vault...maybe there was a chance. They could take it and use it themselves on Gendo and Rani...

A slim chance...

-Firing Range-

After a few minutes, Alouette had convinced Asuka to meet her in the firing range. Asuka actually look happy as she loaded her rifle. She took aim and fired at the nearest target.

“You know, I had hoped we could talk too.” Alouette said as she leaned against the wall beside Asuka.

“There’s nothing to talk about, blondie.” Asuka replied with a growl.

“I think there’s a lot we need to talk about.” Alouette frowned.

“Okay. Hey, remember that time I shot you?” Asuka gritted her teeth and took to firing at the target.

Alouette waited patiently until Asuka was out of bullets and had to reload.

“Yes, I remember it… but I was thinking we should talk about what happened between you and Didymus.” Alouette replied.

“I’d honestly rather you just shoot me.” Asuka replied. “Or better yet, I can shoot Didymus. That would be fun.”

Alouette sighed. This was going about as she expected. “You could do that, but what will it really accomplish? Maybe you could just talk to him.”

Asuka grunted. “That doesn’t do anything.”

“Well… you could try talking to him without the profanity and threats of violence.” Alouette suggested. “Asuka, you know that your temper has always been a problem.”

“… So what? I’m not the one in the wrong here! He was making out with that crazy Heartilly chick.” Asuka growled.

“That’s more or less true.” Alouette decided not to pay attention to the exaggeration. “But I imagine your reaction didn’t help matters.”

“… I shot at them.” Asuka groaned. “But I’m a good shot. I could have hit them if I really wanted to.” She pointed towards the targets that were full of holes.

Alouette walked over and put a hand on Asuka’s shoulder.

“Asuka… has your temper ever actually helped?” Alouette asked.

“Of course! It’s great for the battlefield.” Asuka replied.

“I mean in your day to day life. In your interactions with other people.” Alouette shook her head.

“… I really hate it when you make sense.”

[Odd Planet: Factory]

The group of Vorcha screamed as they fell to the ground, toppled over by the shockwave. As soon as they were down, Sama tossed a incendiary grenade between them and they were consumed by a large flame.

“Okay, we’re clear.” Sama called. He straightened up and looked around. “Everybody okay?”

“I found something.” Kimi called. She appeared from a doorway. “While you idiots were playing with those nasty things, I found something important. Take a look.”

She pointed towards the back wall, where there was a symbol painted on it.

“You found a symbol on the wall. Yeah. Way to contribute.” Sama rolled his eyes. “Wonder what it means…”

Sama quickly scanned it and checked his wrist-mounted computer. “Huh… no record in the UTR database.”

[Pandora]

“Beneath us.” The Rani explained. “There’s an elevator that leads down to the entrance nearby. Of course, the moment you try to activate the elevator it will send out a massive blast of energy that will kill anyone in it.”

She looked to Samuel. “That’s where you come in, Mr. Hawkins. Let’s hope that you’re as talented as they say… this trap was devised by the Chozo.”

Gendo and the Rani led them to the elevator, which was built into the side of a nearby cliff and disguised. The Rani aimed a device at the wall and the camouflage melted away.

Didymus was quiet, in prayer, for a while, before finally addressing Omega.

"That sounds...simple, Omega." he said. "I'm sure there are a lot of people who may envy that. Me? I...actually don't. Complexity is a part of the human experience, I think..."

The door opened, and in came one of the Ensigns.

“Sir!” He saluted Didymus. “Message from Miss. Alouette. She requested that you meat Soryu in sick bay.”

"Thank you, Ensign." Didymus said.

With another moment with his head bowed, he turned and went to the infirmary...

...he hoped that Rinoa being treated wouldn't enter into what was about to happen...

“You’re almost done. Now we just need to open the Vault. I’ll give you the honor of doing that… Gendo and I will wait here.”

Yeeeeeah...Kanna was pretty sure this was a trap. She instantly didn't feel right taking Melanie into this...Heck, she didn't even want Jason to do this. Of course she didn't want to leave them out here with Gendo either. Nope. Not at all.

"Come on" she motioned to the children

“Huh...that's odd,” Jimi said, walking over to the symbol. He scanned it himself, putting it into his records.

“I still have access to the Forever Knights database. I can try cross referencing it with that, maybe they'll have something,” Jimi said, typing at a holographic keyboard over his left wrist, “It'll be a minute though...”

Up to GS whether Jimi gets anything or not!

-Pandora-

“Alright...everybody stay away...” Samuel said as he walked towards the elevator with the orb in hand, opening it up to get inside...

Galv stepped in front of Melanie, just in case...

-T.R.S. Crusader-

“I have complexity in other areas of my life, Comrade Didymus,” Omega said, accompanying Didymus towards the infirmary, though he would wait outside once there, “But I wish you good luck in your complexities.”

[Odd Planet: Factory]

The Forever Knight’s database had very little information on the symbol. Only a sparse bit of rumors about a group called ‘Cerberus’, who the Forever Knights believed that they had beaten them to the punch in acquiring some alien technology.

“Interesting…” Sama said, rubbing his chin as the information came up. “So, we can guess this facility belonged to this Cerberus group… and they were after alien tech…”

He looked over at the parked Siege Tanks.

“… and yet, this place is full of military-grade human tech. Huh… well, I don’t know what any of this could mean… but since the only ‘people’ we found were those crazy Vorcha, I don’t think we’re going to find many answers.”

Sama sighed, leaning against the wall and crossing his arms. Then he noticed a computer mainframe in the corner of the room, and he walked over and plugged into it with his wrist-mounted computer.

“Hmm… wait…” Sama rubbed his chin. “These servers are badly damaged, but there’s a bit of usable information on them… sounds like these Cerberus guys were investigating some disappearance on a human colony on the far rim of Republic space. I didn’t hear anything about that…”

Of course, Sama also never checked in with his superiors at the UTR.

“Hmm… we should go back to the Ragnarok. I think I should call this in…”

[Pandora]

As soon as Samuel was inside the elevator, the orb activated. It shot up, out of his hand, and began to spin around and then there was a MASSIVE burst of radiation; confined to the elevator. Had Samuel been anyone else, he would have had his skin melted from his bones.

… but of course, Samuel was different.

The Rani quickly walked over, and she began to speak in an alien language. Lights flashed on the elevator, and it activated.

“Excellent. You did very well, Samuel. Now, you and the rest of your lot can get in the elevator and head down into the Vault. When you get there, simply report what you see to us, and we’ll follow you down.” The Rani said simply.

“Oh please.” Rica rolled his eyes. “I’m getting really tired of all of this. At least Burke was up front about his bullsh-t… you’ve waited a hundred years to open this Vault, and you’re sending us down first? You don’t expect any of us to survive, do you?”

The Rani’s face was stone cold as she looked to him. “You don’t really have a choice.”

Rica shook his head. “See… that’s the thing… we do. You’ve tried to control us with our lingering fears about NERV, or bribe us with empty promises… but let’s be honest here. We go down that elevator and it’s certain death… but hell, there’s two of you. Ikari’s an old man. Sammy and I don’t die, so I think we can take you.”

The Rani just grinned. “… What took you so long? Yes. I agree. If it were just the two of us, you could certainly kill us… but you may want to look up.”

Rica felt his stomach fall. He had a very bad feeling about this. He tilted his head skyward, and in the air high above their heads was a Battlecruiser, similar to the type used by the UTR.

“… What in the…” Rica gasped.

“You’ve heard of Hyperion, yes? Handsome Jack, their CEO, is a friend of mine. Above your heads is a Class-A Battlecruiser. Enough firepower to level an entire city… plus thousands of robots on board. Now tell me, Mr. Rica, can you take on an entire army, hmm?”

Rica groaned.

“Now down the elevator with all of you. Yes, it’s possible you will die… but if you refuse, you will definitely die.”

[TRS Crusader]

When Didymus arrived in the infirmary, he would quickly find Asuka and Alouette in one of the side rooms, away from the main infirmary. Luckily, Rinoa was in a completely different section of the infirmary.

“The two of you need to talk.” Alouette said, motioning for Didymus to walk over.

Asuka looked up at Didymus and simply grunted once. She crossed her arms, looked away from him, and muttered.

“Asuka…” Alouette scolded her.

“I’m sorry I shot at you.” Asuka finally grunted out, now looking to Didymus. “But… what the heck are we even doing? You’re making out with Heartilly… are we even… you know… should we…?”

Melanie held onto Galv's hand when The Rani mentioned the very real possibility of them dying once they were down the elevator. Of course they were in just as much danger up here. "Are we going to be okay?" she whispered to her boyfriend as they were ushered in.

"We'll be fine Mel, no one is going to die" Jason said, having heard his little sister. "Just stay close.

Kanna didn't speak, though under her even expression she was worried...She tried not to show it though...She didn't want anything to happen to her children.

“Huh, colony disappearance?” Jimi said, rubbing his chin, “That's odd...”

He frowned, shaking his head, “Yah, I guess we can't do much else here...”

Jimi looked longingly at the tanks, “Are you sure we can't just take one? As, errr...evidence?”

-Pandora-

Ethan frowned as he looked up at the battlecruiser. At least Maize wasn't here...

Maybe if it had been just him, Rica, and Samuel, he'd have been willing to try fighting the thousands of robots and battlecruiser...

He did smirk though, “Sure. You could kill us all. But if it looks like it does you will... Do you think you're fast enough to stop me? Or Galv's lightning? Or that you can go far enough that Samuel won't eventually track you down and make you pay?”

Samuel was quiet for a moment, then nodded, “Yah... If you do win... Keep in mind I'll make sure that it's a Pyrrhic victory... Even if it takes centuries, millennium...”

Galv kept close to Melanie, keeping himself between her and Rani and Gendo as they headed to the elevator as well.

-T.R.S. Crusader-

Omega waited outside the infirmary as Didymus walked inside, making sure no one would interrupt. While he didn't really understand human emotions, he had done enough research on human culture to somewhat get it.

So he was going to make sure Didymus and Asuka could talk without any comical interruptions. He had seen that happen often enough in human entertainment, so he assumed it was a common occurrence.

Didymus paused.

"It's a good thing you're technically a civilian now, Asuka. Otherwise I'd be FORCED to court-martial you. Heck, this incident better not get out, it would set a horrible example for the men..." he said.

"...but apology accepted." he said, his expression softening. "I know you missed intentionally. I hope you did, at least..." he added.

"...still, what are we doing? I don't know. I...Asuka, frankly, I confess...I fear my attraction to you has been, is, even...predominately physical. I mean, we always fight, we have so little in common, it seems..." he paused.

"You aren't exactly what comes to mind when I think of my ideal girl, and frankly, I seriously doubt I'm what comes to mind when you think of YOUR ideal guy. Still...we've had our moments, our lives have seemed very much entwined, and...you can be rather lovely..." he said.

"I don't know. Are we...a couple?" he said.

"Though with that said, Miss Heartilly was wounded. I had tried to patch her up, and she asked if she was going to die as she got weaker. I was trying to comfort her. I caressed her hand and told her that if so, she at least wouldn't die alone...I was about to, I hope, urge her to make her peace with God, when she suddenly, well...heh, I guess I said the right words?"

He paused again.

"Though for what it's worth, if there's ONE girl I can think of that I have less in common with than you...it's her, perhaps. Heh."

The Rani merely rolled her eyes to the threats. “I still have a barrier around me. Not even your strength could rip a hole it in… at least not before the robots arrive and kill you. As for you, Mr. Hawkins… you throw around words like ‘centuries’ and ‘millennium’… but you have no idea the true impact of those words.”

She smirked. “I’ve lived for several hundred years. I know exactly how long it really is… and I managed to stay on the run and in hiding from the entire Time Lord race. I do not fear you tracking me down.”

Soon, everyone was in the elevator, and it slowly began to descend…

[…]

Rica leaned against the side of the elevator and looked at the group. The sides of the elevator were dim, and it was impossible to see where they were going. It seemed to go down for a long time, and there were odd noises as they traveled down.

“… Okay, we’re not dying on some crazy-ass planet because of some washed up old NERV people.” He declared. “I don’t care what we see when those doors open, we’re going to turn this around on them.”

He looked over to Samuel. “When the doors open, you and I go out first. Nobody else gets off this elevator until we know if it’s safe.”

Rica chuckled and looked to Ethan. “… It literally pains me to say this, but… look after Kanna.”

The elevator suddenly came to a stop… the doors opened… and they found themselves at the end of a narrow stone path… with monumental statues all around… oh; and lava.

This is a first person view of what they would see out of the elevator doors. (Not the satellite, though)

[Odd Planet: Factory]

Sama sighed for a moment… and then he shrugged.

“I suppose we could take one as evidence. I am technically still a part of the UTR, and that tank belongs to the UTR… so, I suppose I could ‘appropriate’ one.”

Sama shook his head. “Just load it up on the Ragnarok quick and don’t mention this when I call my superiors, okay?”

[TRS Crusader]

Asuka sighed, leaning back quietly and listening to Didymus. She was really not good at moments like this. There was only one person to whom she could ever open up to emotionally, and that was Peterson. Even with Alouette, it was more that Alouette could understand Asuka, than Asuka would open up.

“… I don’t hate you.” Asuka said, and then she cursed in German. “No, no… that’s not accurate… I mean, I don’t hate you, but… I guess I am attracted to you, I just don’t like to admit that…”

She groaned, now not looking at him. “… I have every reason not to want this… but I do want this… I know that doesn’t make much sense, but… what would it take, then? For things to work…”

Didymus paused, simply letting Asuka talk.

"...what....would make this work...?"

He legitamately did not know.

"I...wow. That's the million-credit question...or dollar, as it were..." he said. "...I...I guess if we found common ground. If we stopped fighting, Asuka. If we had SOLIDARITY rather than friction. It's always kind of a give-and-take with us, rather than a fluid flow...I...I know that's all kinda high-minded stuff, but...I dunno."

He paused, thinking about how he still kind of pined over Rachel...

Samuel frowned as they went down the elevator. He didn't mention it to Rani, and in fact outside of probably Kanna, no one else knew much about it, but when Burke had used his shadows to create a sort of black hole, it had sent him back in time. He had lived much longer then he looked by now.

But he didn't like dwelling on it, as it always reminded him of the end of that journey.

Where he saw Rica kill Levina. And even though he knew it was Rica's father possessing the man, Samuel still held some grudge...

Not that he would say anything about it, of course.

“I understand,” Ethan said, “If all else fails, I'll do my best to make sure she and the children get to safety.”

As the door opened, Samuel's eyes widened as he stepped forward, looking around.

“Well I wasn't expecting this,” Samuel said idly, “Perhaps the others should just wait here...”

He glanced at the lava, “Maybe you too, Rica...”

“No way, I want to help!” Galv said, “I'm capable, I'm strong, and I'm not just gonna sit around!”

Samuel frowned, shaking his head, “No Galv...”

-Odd Planet: Factory-

Within moments of getting permission, Jimi had clambered into one of the tanks, got it working, and was rolling it towards the Ragnarok and into it's bay.

“Woohoo!” Jimi shouted, “This is gonna be so epic!”
