[Big MT]

“I don’t know… but this could be a good thing.” Nanami said, shaking her head. “If the Enclave gets rid of those brains, we can help ourselves to the technology if we survive.”

There was utter icy coldness in Nanami’s voice. Somewhere deep inside she realized how cruel and how calculating she was being in her assessment… but stopping Gallic was the only thing that truly mattered, and the technology of Big MT could help them do that.

Now would be a fantastic time for Lavan to show up.

[Autumn’s Headquarters]

Connor stayed close to Sarai. He was worried that if they were discovered they could end up dead.

“Yah, we do this...” Galv said, focusing. He fired a blast of electricity towards the Enclave troops, some of them moving out of the way, as the one with the missile launcher fired again!



“Looks like we found some Rebels too...” Walter said to Horrigan as the electricity sparked along the ground. He tapped something on his helmet, zooming in, “Nanami is here... interesting...”

-Autumn's Headquarter's-

Eugene smirked, “That's what we're here to figure out. We should split up, see what we can find. Meet back here in half an hour.”

With that, Eugene disappeared down the hallway, and Edda turned towards the others.

“So... split up into two? Who wants to come with me?” Edda asked.

“… That is most fortunate.” Horrigan replied to Walter as he calmly took off his backpack and sat it down in front of him. He pulled out a disassembled assault rifle and quickly began to properly assemble it. “I’ve long wanted to see if she was as good as they say.”

[…]

The missile launchers hit the Sink Tower and it began to shake violently. Nanami growled and looked around the room.

“Melanie, Galv, we need to get down to the ground level! This tower could collapse if its hit much more.” Nanami shouted to them. “Stay together and stay safe. Try to find that idiot Lavan!”

She then rushed over to the small bathroom in the middle of the tower and turned on the faucet. She raised her hand and the water began to travel from the faucet, through the room and off the ledge – as it rained down towards the Enclave, it turned into icicles!

[Autumn’s Headquarters]

Connor simply paused and looked at Edda with a slow shake of his head. He figured it would seem incredible obvious on who would split up into teams – although if by some weird twist he ended up with Chloe and Sarai with Edda, Connor would be incredibly confused.

The Enclave were attacking. The research center shuddered with every attack made from the outside. The sink rumbled from the energy dissipation of weapons across large surfaces. And it was all looking worse and worse for the wear.

And Lavan was gone.

In a rather typical moment for him, the pyro was in absentia when he was needed most. It was no wonder that Nanami hadn't heard even a peep from the redhead ever since they met the robotic scientists of Big MT, Lavan wasn't THERE to jabber uselessly and provide his usual brand of comic relief.

But the question was... Where had he gone?

----------

Big MT Secondary Control Room

The scientists at Big MT were rather absent-minded individuals, and had their attention focused on Nanami as the main negotiator, while Lavan went off to "explore" after getting quite bored of the talking. He was a man of action and fire, and while he loved to talk, diplomacy was something he didn't like to focus on. And beside that, his blood was still pumping from the encounters with the lobotomites outside, he needed to do something.

So he explored. Separating from the group, he went further into the facility, down a flight of stairs, and past a few doors, out of the main Think Tank, and into one of the attached labs that was run by one of the scientists. And there, he simply had to pause and grin.

It was a chem lab. And from what he was looking at, it had enough chemicals and compounds to make some very, very dangerous stuff.

Lavan was a fighter, but in this day and age, just being able to set something on fire or punch someone was not enough to live. So Lavan's picked up quite a few tricks, amongst them mechanical, electronic and chemical skills that aided him in maintenance of his usual toolset and the use of said toolset. And at the moment, he had en entire laboratory to play with.

But first thing's first, he hard-locked the door by using a welding torch to open the control pane of the automated door, and shorting the wires, locking down the lab from anyone's entrance but his own from the inside. And then, he began to work. He worked as fast as he could, trying to make the most out of the chemical lab he found, and only paused his work schedule when he felt the structure shudder. He didn't grin like he usually did, but a small and rather menacing smile revealed what he was thinking of.

"Oh yes. Come, Enclave. I've got presents for you..."

He started to quickly set up things around the lab, making sure all of his preparations were ready, lit a flame in the center and connected it to a gas line, added a few glass tubes and a ventilation pipe, creating a flame that wouldn't go out until the gas ran out of the pipes completely. With this facility's access to natural resources, there was enough natural gas for that flame to burn for weeks, not just days.

With the setup complete, Lavan placed four blocks around the perimeter of the room, and reconnected the wires at the door and letting it open, dashing out with two large bags over his shoulder as he ran back towards the Think Tank.

As the facility shuddered yet again, Lavan burst into the main chamber of the Think Tank.

"OI! METAL-HEADS! I've got a CRAZY idea, and you're going to go along with it!"

Dr. Klein and the other scientists of the Think Tank were not fighters. They had spent the last two hundred years cowering away behind their pacification field. While they enjoyed the lobotomies they performed and the experiments they oversaw, they were simply brains in mechanical jars – they could not fight.

So when the Enclave attacked, they took to cowering. They knew that the Pacification Field would prevent anyone who made it into the central control room from being able to attack, but there were ways around that. All someone really had to do was go outside of the room and line explosives on the walls; create opening that they could shoot through. The lobotomies were too dumb for such a plan, but the Enclave had the brains and the brawns to do it.

So when Lavan came running in and declared he had a plan, Klein floated forward.

“Yes, yes, whatever you want, meat-bag! Just protect us from those… those awful limb-y people!”

Lavan blinked at the sudden acceptance. He expected them to be as stubborn as he saw before, and to see them bend to his will so easily was almost pathetic. But he wasn't going to look a gift horse in the mouth, he was going to capitalize on this.

"Al-riiiight! First, I need to know how you focus the pacification field. Come on now, chop-chop, details!"

In the meantime, he ran up to the main control console.

"Aaaand, I might need a bit of help with this too. Whoever usually manipulates the main control consoles, get over here and show me how to operate this monster! And tell me how to get in touch with Nanami too, I need her to start doing stuff too."

Klein grimaced – as much as was possible when your eyes and mouth were just pictures on computer screens.

“Focus the field? You don’t focus it! It affects this room, and that’s that! We’ve never tried focusing it anywhere.”

Another one of the Brains – Dr. 0 – floated over. “It would be too difficult for someone of your handicap to operate the controls. Just tell me what you need done and I’ll do it.”

“The woman is upstairs,” Klein explained. “But we don’t need them. Just protect us!”

Lavan paused, leveling Klein with a look that had not been leveled at the scientist for a long, long time. A look that obviously stated within it 'are you really that stupid?'

"You're really not familiar with the concept of "teamwork", are you."

Ignoring Klein from then on, Lavan referred to Dr. 0.

"Since you seem to be the one faster on the uptake, I need you to establish connection with the Sink. Just do it, I'm going to need Nanami and the others for this since YOU lot don't have hands or legs anymore. Do any of you actually remember how the Pacification Field works? Electrostatic Field? Psionic suggestion field? Maybe some sort of electrochemical manipulator to change the patterns of functional thought? Or maybe just an aggression stabilizer... You, Zero, bring up plans for the creation of the field if you still have them if you don't remember. Come ON, people show some proper initiative, we're being attacked by a bunch of men in metallic suits from the outside, we NEED to level the playing field."

He smirked as the building shuddered again.

"It's unfair to play chess with only four pieces against a full board, so we're going to stack things in our favor."

“Teamwork is when my team does the work I tell them to!” Klein snapped back at Lavan, but he was too cowardly at the moment to say anything else.

0, meanwhile, obeyed and started opening the communications channel. “The pacification field… it… uh… well, it pacifies people… and it does so by…”

The brain sighed. “Look, it’s been over two hundred years since we built the damn thing! You can’t expect us to remember all the little details like ‘how it works’ or ‘how we use it’.”

There’s a reason the brains with the best tech on the planet haven’t ever affected the outside world. “Communications channel established!”

[The Sink]

Nanami heard the buzz over the radio and she ran over, staying low to avoid the bullets. “What the hell do you stupid brains want?”

Lavan smirked, speaking towards the screen.

"Oi, I resent that! Don't you worry your little cold heart, pretty lady, someone with actual creativity is currently talking. Now, I need to know: Do any of you in there know anything about building computer software? Hacking and programming? PLEASE tell me you have an idea, Nanami, because Plan B heavily depends on someone there knowing SOMETHING."

Lavan shot a look at Dr. 0, smirking.

"Then find the archived experiment files and bring them up, I want to see them. Also, you have some way of monitoring the entirety of Big MT, right? You knew where we were the moment we appeared, so you have to. What is it? Is it something that can be used to monitor the Enclave as well?"

“I’m familiar with computers. I’ve been training so I could hack the defensive systems at the President Palace.” Nanami told him. Her quest for revenge against Gallic had driven her to study a great many things, mostly related to sabotage, espionage and assassination.

“What do you need?” She asked. She wanted to yell at him for disappearing again, but right now they were in real trouble, so that could wait.

[Think Tank]

“Right… archival files… those are… somewhere…” Dr. 0 replied as he began checking through their records. After 200 years, the brains had gotten terrible about keeping things orderly on their computers.

“Oh! We monitor everything with a series of carefully placed cameras. You can access it all from the computer to the left.”

Lavan whooped in victory.

"Yesss!!! Nanami, I could KISS you right now! You best try to remember everything you know, because I'll be sending you a specification in a few moment, and I'll want you to program a virus. It's a template shell for a viral attack, specifically targeted against Enclave software and technology that uses said software. Don't ask me how I got it, just work with me here."

Lavan swept over to the screen on the left, quickly flicking on every switch for every camera he could see, smirking as dozens of running pictures showed him the majority of the internal Mig MT complex and the majority of the surface above the scientific research facility as well. He kept every image up, but enlarged a few to monitor the motions of the Enclave.

And whistled.

"Hoookay, this just got a bit harder than I expected. That's... A lot. Hooooo boy."

Quickly glancing around the facility, Lavan spotted the perimeter shield, and focused on it immediately.

"Wait... A shield? You have a shield, right? How is the energy field projected, what's being used as a focus? Bring up that archive too!"

He dashed back to the main screen.

"Nanami, nix the entire Enclave thing! Well... The programming, not the get rid of the Enclave plan, that's still in the works. You'll have to reprogram the shell I am sending as well. You won't have to work from scratch, but you'll need to work fast. This time, am I glad we brought those two kids along. GALV! MELANIE! CESS! You three will have to go and distract the Enclave while Nanami works! I don't care how you do it, but distract them for as long as you can, and for the love of all that burns, DON'T DIE. That's an order."

Lavan whipped around to face the scientists of Mig MT.

"You all are doing nothing right now. Well, you're all certifiably insane geniuses with enough brainpower to make this place, you sure as hell have enough to help right now. Klein, you get on the monitoring screens, keep a running tally of the Enclave's progress. Someone else be in control of the door and lockdown systems, work with Klein and set as many of the local hazards that you have, make a gauntlet. I want no miscommunications, everybody needs to be loud and clear. Lastly, I need at least one of you who are good with computers to start working on the executable plugin with Nanami."

He spun back to the main screen.

"Archives! You have them?"

“Reprogramming a virus and a shield?” Nanami frowned. This wasn’t exactly her idea of things that should be done in mid-combat. The Enclave below had power armor, energy weapons and was, unknown to Nanami, being led by two of the most dangerous soldiers in the Enclave.

“I’ll get to work on it, but don’t waste time.” Nanami warned him.

[Think Tank]

“I… I don’t take orders from you!” Klein growled. He was a coward, but he was also a fool.

“Oh just shut up and do it Klein.” Dr. 0 finally snapped. The brains went to work, carrying out the orders Lavan had given them.

Lavan, however, faced Klein directly, smirking in a way that showed that he was at least somewhat sure of what he was doing.

"No, you do take orders from me, Klein, and that's for two specific reasons. The first is that you have very little defense against the Enclave, and if you don't listen to me, you'll become a puddle of molten matter on the ground from plasma fire. And the second reason is that you want to prove yourself less of a coward than the other scientists around you when word of this gets out. And trust me, it WILL get out. So, you stubborn hunk of steel, still want to sit on the sidelines and let the glory pass you? Or do you want to actually do something with your own mind, and rub the faces of the Enclave into the fact that you are better than them? Your choice."

He turned back to the big screen, watching the archives open, side-by-side... And swore to himself.

"This is too brief. It's the listings on energy circuitry, but if that's all you have, I can't work with it. Craaaaap..."

He started pacing back and forth, one hand tapping the palm against his forehead, the other against his chin.

"Come on, think THINK..."

He spun about again, facing Klein.

"Do you have any way of measuring energy levels or fluctuations within Big MT? Any scanners, any monitoring equipment, can the cameras do it or are they just cameras? Come on, jar-head, give me SOMETHING to work with. All of you others as well! Come on, you're SCIENTISTS, you have been here for longer than I've been alive, there's got to be something in those rusty memories of yours that we could use!"

[Outside]

Frank Horrigan watched with interest. The soldiers were still firing at the Sink Tower, but it was clear that they could not hit Nanami, Cess, Galv or Melanie from this angle. So he pulled a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, taking a long slow drag on it.

“… Screw it. I didn’t come all the way out here for some prolonged firefight against a bunch of rats hiding in the wall.”

Taking a second long puff, he dropped the cigarette on the ground and stomped it out; then he turned his head slightly towards Walter.

“Douglas. I’m going in. I’m going to exterminate the rebels, as per my orders.” Horrigan knew that technically Walter was in command… but he didn’t much care. Frank hadn’t come just to keep an eye on Gallic’s go-to-guy, but also to truly test what these rebels could do.

“I’ll bring you back Razy and Nomura’s heads.” Horrigan added, and then he dashed towards The Think Tank building.

[Think Tank]

Klein frowned (on the screen). He didn’t like being talked to this way, but Lavan had a crude point. The Enclave would kill them all – or worse, hook them up to some machine and use them as information databases.

“Oh, alright. I’ll do as you say…” Klein reluctantly agreed. “We have all sorts of scanning equipment. There’s a long range scanner here in the Think Tank that allows us to take various measurements. We have radar, thermal imaging…”
