The Death of Nature

[Thomas]

Thomas wandered around the rebel base wondering if Ceph was back to normal and it he would try to Bring him back to the Jail cell.Thomas stopped at the base entrance and he sat down in one of the chairs.He leaned back on the chair wondering what he was going to do.

[Brian]

Brain watched Janele come in. He walked towards a newspaper.

Can you get me a martini, or a beer or something?

[Valodya Bassarov]

Bassarov turns from Zinn to Zero Americanski.

"Yes, I would love for you to teach a course or two. I am sure you have many skills to share with others."

He thinks about it. She could teach most anything on America or History in general. She could even teach others to fight.

He turns to Zinn.

"I am not sure how much longer the anarchists will be here, but you are free to teach as well."

[Valkoinen Joki]

i stop and turn to face the door, i breath in the scent and immediately smell sayuka, but am not sure if she is even there. i knock on the bedroom door and wait for her to answer. i cross my arms and stare at the door, ignoring anyone that passed

[Matsumura]

Matsumura begins to use his telepathy to locate Bassarov, but he keeps a constant watch on Keitoleinen to make sure his plan will work. "OH NO! Keitoleinen knows! Quick Varsha, there's no time!," says Matsumura as he holds Varsha's hand and teleports them to the room with Bassarov in it. There he sees two women. One he recognizes as Zinn and the other is a mystery. "Valodya Bassarov...... I need your help. There was a time when I was Matsumura Loki XXXVIII, the angel of death, but not anymore. I am now Mat Isachi, and I want nothing more than peace. However, Red Infinity is trying to track me down. I can't let them find me. Please, I know I haven't been the kindest individual in the past, but I could be very helpful to you. They are sending Devan, a very powerful God slayer. Please, help me combat him. I need to stay alive. I've finally found what it is I've been searching for all these years, and I could be torn away from it at any given moment," says Matsumura to Bassarov. Matsumura turns to Zinn. "I don't want to die! I just started living! I don't want to fight anymore! Please, they're going to take me away..... they're going to torture me..... I'm so scared," says Matsumura in panic and sorrow.

[Zinn]

"I. Robot was an atrocious movie, but the book is much better. It's really a collection of Asimov's short stories being told by a woman who saw the future coming. In her world, the world is run by a machine called the multivac that rules absolutely. However, due to the three laws of robotics which prohibit robots from harming humans in any way, multivac can only do things that help humans, so Earth is a utopia," Zinn explains.

"I'd love to teach some classes Mr. Bassarov. As far as I know, we aren't going anywhere. We haven't made any plans to move yet. Is there a sign up sheet somewhere? I could teach classes in dead languages, english classes, literature classes, history classes, science classes, whatever. I think I'd like to teach history and literature, as they are both my specialties. Thank you or the generous offer. By the way, this library is positively fantastic. I haven't had the opportunity to read books since my friend Merton was killed. I have some things I'd like to contribute to the art festival, some paintings, charcoal skethces, and such. I'm somewhat of novice, but I'd love to get some feedback on my work, and I think it's good enough to show."

Zinn can feel Matsumura panicking. "Why would they want to kill you, angel?" Zinn asks. She doesn't sound angry or anything like that. She is merely curious. She feels sympathetic this time. She can tell he is really terrified about this, and he truly believes the government is trying to kill him now.

[Matsumura]

"Keitoleinen is watching me and he is disappointed. He knows that I will no longer work for him. Now he's going to send Devan to either locate me and bring me back or kill me. I don't want to die!!!..... but I don't want to return to that place..... that'd be worse than death. Please, I want to do what's right. Bassarov, please help me. All I need is the aid of a few of your rebels in fighting him. In fact, I know a couple of rebels of yours who kind of owe me a favor anyways, and they're not busy right now. Brady, Kai, Usha, and Kisa. I let them escape Keitoleinen's prison. I could sure use their help getting rid of Devan. Please, I need help! I don't want to die!" cried Matsumura.

[Valkoinen Joki]

i glance to my left, back down the hall towards the entrance. "fool... he might as well tell the world that he quit red infinity, or rather go straight to lin-sat...". i turn to sayuka's door and knock again. "... miss sayuka, i wish to talk to you....if you are there, do not ignore me....".

[Steve Fox]

Waking in his cell Steve looks around. He's in a dungeon? Oh hell, this must be the Ministry of Terror. He moves and feels a pain shot through his air. Dam'n, that's right. His arm was broken... and unset. Come to that...

He stands and moves towards the from of the cell when the light from the hallway makes it possible to see a litte better. Dries bloody cakes his arm and it's twisted. "Bloody hell..."

Knowing what he has to do but not looking forwards to it Steve runs a hand down the cell's bars. Well... the longer he waited the worse so...

Lifting his right arm with his left hand forces his hand closed on the cross bar. Taking he deep breath Steve tenses up... and cracks his right shoulder back. The is an audiable pop as the bones in his right arm slide back into their proper positions.

Steve's shout of pain rolls through the hallways. Forcably unclentching his teeth Steve pulls off his shift as best he can with one hand and does a little trick folding, making the shirt into a simple sling for his broken arm.

Panting and glistening with sweat from the pain Steve sinks to the floor, sitting and trying to clear his mind.

[Zinn]

"Get a hold of yourself. You aren't going to die. Go and ask the rebels you want help from for help. Hell, I'll even help you if you want, but I'm basically useless when it comes to fighting supernatural beings like this Devan fellow," Zinn says. She understands the fear though. "They haven't got you yet."

Zinn turns to Bassarov. "I suppose this isn't the best time, but I could also teach a weapon making chemistry class. Granted, I'd have to screen people entering to make sure that no one irresponsible joins, but I suppose that the information would be useful. I'm out as far as using that info anymore goes. I'm done. I really can't deal with that stuff anymore. It's eaten me alive. I'm planning something with the other anarchists currently, but after that I am finished with violent attacks on the government."

[Kisa Higurashi]

I stepped out of the shower, dried off, and got dressed. It was morning already and I was in the mood to do something that will benefit the rebels instead of hanging around all day.

I called Bass on my cell.

"Do you have anything for me to do? It's Kisa talking, by the way." As I was walking I spotted a sign-up sheet for classes and the art festival. Classes didn't work so well for me last time so I'll have to pass on that...hmm...what can I do in the art festival?

[Devan]

Devan recived a message from Keitolienen. Devan was told to help Matsumaru and keep him by the side of redinfinity after showing Lulu the sites of Beijing. Devan felt a strange feeling, like something was pulling him back from doing the mission he was told to do by Keitolienen.

*No I can't... why can't I.. what's this feeling.. *

Devan looked at Lulu while flying smoothly across the sky.

*Am I in love? Is this what's stopping me..?*

Devan shaked his head.

[Matsumura]

Matsumura stands there nervous, trying desperately to focus. He finds them and then sets up a four way telepathic link. "Brady, Usha, Kisa, Kai, I desperately need your help. I am with your leader Bassarov, in the library. We need you here right away!" says Matsumura through the telepathic link. "Brady, you're a teleporter. I'm not sure about the others..... but gather those non-teleporters and bring them to Bassarov's office on the double!" concludes Matsumura. "Please work, I need this to work!"

[glow=red,2,300]BRADY, KISA, USHA, KAI, PLEASE READ THIS!!!!!!!!!!!![/glow]

[Catherine]

I smiled and wrapped my arms around him. I rested my head against his chest and sighed contently. After a moment, I replied, "Y'know, it really doesn't matter to me either. How about we get some sleep then?"

[Ikue Ito]

I smiled at Larva as I sipped from my cup of tea. I wonder why he's always wearing his mask?

"Y'know...you should take off your mask more often. It's nice to see you smile." By this time, I have finished my tea. I stood up and went to the sink to wash our cups. When I was done, I walked back to the table to retrieve the pages.

"I'll be reading this in my room," I said, as I picked it up, along with my bag. "Our rooms...I guess we can just pick one."

After smiling at Larva, I walked up to the first door I saw and opened it. The room was simple, but I liked it that way. I dropped my bag on the ground and placed the pages carefully on my bed. I wonder what Larva had written? I shrugged this off for a moment as I changed out of my maid's dress and into a baggy T-shirt and shorts. I sat down on my bed and started to read...

It was a romance story. A good one too. I was hooked onto it and read until I drifted off to sleep...
