No Room For Detente

[Rodthingy Maestro-Reborn]

As i picked the phone up, i called the number of Dr. Simon, leader of LIF

"Can you tell me anything about the launcher of the nuke. I have orders to make contact with them. Also, please do not retaliate until i get back to you. You may not know who i am, but it would be in your best interest to listen."

[Dr. Lenna Simion]

"Same number again Doctor."

"Do you have a track?"

"Voice recorded, still tracking the line. Peter is awaiting portal locations."

"Keep listening to him. Give our mystery caller a few minutes to convince me."

[Rodthingy Maestro-Reborn]

I didn't here a response, so i kept talking until i got one

"I am Rodthingy Maestro, co-leader of Eternal Light, an organization that unites all religions together, but that is not important. I am investigating the nuking of your California outpost, and we think we know who is behind it. However, we need a location, and you can provide that. I will do my best to end this conflict as peacefully as posible, however i know you may not want t to. Im sure your Hunters want there action. Just tell me the location of the launch, and i will be very happy. Doctor, are you there?"

[Dr. Lenna Simion]

Lenna pushes down a button on the desk and speaks into the speaker for the phone, "It came from off shore, an old ship. We're trying to track it now, but exact locations are hard to get on moving objects. That is all."

She hangs up the connection. She glances at her assistant. "Find him. Kill him."

"Mischa, I'm not selling us out to Red Infinity. I just think that a cease fire for the short term would be helpful to both groups. But let's see what the other rebels have to say."

Bassarov turns to the other rebels at the table, and those just now coming in.

"I want to hear what each of you has to say about a short term peace with Red Infinity."

I wasn't in the discussion.I was laying on the couch listeining to the discussion while looking up at the ceiling.I knew Violet could do it.I did a backflip and landed beside the church door.I opened it and closed it behind me.I headed for the international red infinity headquarters in Bejing.

[Chastity]

The doctors tell me that I am healed enough to go back home. The scars are still there from where the bullets pierced me, but they have all closed over and no longer pose a threat. I think of all the time I have wasted by lying around in a hospital ward, when people all around me are dying of starvation. It doesn't seem right.

My mind flashes back to see the bodies of countless people lying in their own blood on the street outside the kitchen. They are sure to be gone by now, probably cleaned up by a large street sweeper like the refuse that the government thinks that they are. They do not see the purpose of these homeless ones. They see them as a burden to society, but they have not looked into their eyes, or seen their smiles of gratitude over just a small bowl of broth.

I suddenly feel an overwhelming hatred for Red Infinity and the hypocritical faces of its leaders, promising hope for everyday working people. They offer no hope. Even Lady Violet, who seems so nice and giving, even she propogates this system of greed and inequality. She has helped to starve and kill those that she says the government is working so hard for.

Tears well up in my eyes, and I reach into my pocket and grasp tightly onto the rosary that lies therein. I squeeze it hard as I walk out the doors of the hospital and out onto the streets of Paris. I think of all the injustice and all the pain that has had to be suffered by so many. I squeeze so fervently on the small prayer trinket, that the edges of the cross cut into my palm, letting loose a trickle of blood.

My mind is hot, and the street seems to waver as I walk. I see the people walking past me on the sidewalk, but they are only bodies walking by with no faces. I try to pray, but no rational words come to my mind, and so I just hold fast onto the prayer beads and walk with a quick pace back to the kitchen.

[Rodthingy Maestro-Reborn]

He got all he needed, but he scenced something strange in the Doctor's voice.

"I think they will be coming for us, lets go!" he grabbed his friend and he ran like Chetas. He didn't want to fight if he didn't have to. He thought he knew the root of the problem, Alexander Carnigie and Denari Dollr, the Capitalists. Only they would do something like this, with there need to get america back to its great glorry. But, why would they hire a Neo American. He used his mental powers to try to find the ship, but he could sence nothing. He sat down and wated outside the store.

"Darn it, hope they don't trace the call!"

[Peter "The Owl"]

Peter steps out of the portal of light. The pay phone is hung up, the space around it empty. But it's still warm.

The Hunter scans the phone, and lifts the finger prints. "Target ID obtained. Beginning search."

Leaving the pay phone, Peter begins his hunt.

[Kith]

"I can not predict the future St. Celeste, but I am glad that you are here with me now."

I kiss her, but can't help but think of Genovia?
Why is that woman so intent on ruining my life?

[Ookami]

"My aura is what those b'astards from Red Infinity have made it. I had my packmate right here with me and she is gone again. To do the whelping for some sorcerer who treats her like a common dog. She is not so."

He hoped this would be enough he really did not want to have to delve deeper to explain a lie.

"I hear our leaders congregating. I too should be in there. If you will excuse me i shall return shortly."

He walks past the girl and Zeek. He growls low in his throat as he passes. The girl tempted him so. He pauses at Mr. thingysure.

"I do believe a meeting concerning the rebels has begun if you would like i will show you where the conference room is. Down these stairs to the end of the hall. Come on."

[Lady Violet]

I go to Lin-Sat's office and close the door behind me. I look at him.

"What should be done about this? How did the capitalists obtain such power? They may be targeting LIF now, but Red Infinity is surely next on their list..."

[Raven]

after a few hours my mechanical parts loosen up and i can move again. ... coward. i walk through the mirror and wind up back outside of the ministry. i get angry and go in agian. the guards reconize me and start to fire again. i knock them back again and more power goes to my limiter. i shake my head. .. fool/.... i go down to the cells and step into the one simonia was in. i notice her meditating. a cast a dark shield over the cell. heh.... seems the dragon has gone weaker over the years,, the coward ran off.... lets go. im tired of this place...

[Valodya Bassarov]

"Does anyone have anything that they would like to add to the discussion?" Bassarov asks the rebels.

[Kaschei]

Kaschei is annoyed that Raven still won't leave. He decides to send another operative down after him. He summons Genovia to his office.

"Genovia, would you be so kind as to show our unwanted guest out."

[Garret thingysure]

Garret follows the wolf demon and ends up at the conference room he walks inside taking a seat as one of the delegators speak. He sits by Mischa he feels out of place here because no one seems to know or care who he is. Bassarov askes what could be added. He does not want to intrude plus he doesn't know what has been brought up so far. He begins to nervously bite his thumb and looks around. he clears his throat and sits up.

"I would like to say that i want to help fund this operation and would also like to use my popularity and prowess to help influence Red Infinity. Maybe one of its key bread winners might have some pull? Do you think i might be able to do this?"
