"So are you hungry?" Linnea asks as she still had her arms wrapped around his.

There are days when I wake up and think to myself "I hate my life". This day, happens to be one of those. Victoria's off on another assassination mission somewhere in Paraguay, and I'm all alone to my thoughts, minutes before the press conference.
I'm supposed to cover up the Helsinki disaster, and the torture in the Ministry of Terror, give a positive spin on Lady Violet's personal life, and let everyone know that Red Infinity is handling the anthrax scare.
I get the signal.
I walk out on stage, greeted by the familiar crescendo of camera flashes.
"Ladies and gentlemen, there is a lot of ground that needs to be covered tonight. First and foremost..."
My voice is powerful, and unwavering. My posture is strong, braced for the perilous, unrelenting swarm of probing questions.

"Sure I can do that right away."
Bassarov turns to Ben (I think you are here)
"Hey Be...hope you don't mind if I call you that. (this is joke since i started to write out Ben in my last post, but only posted Be.) Yes, you, Kaze, and John can all remain in Helsinki."
Bassarov then calls Lysander:
"Lysander, I need you to get us some American workers to help Amerikanski build the base here. I know many people are down and out there so it should not be hard."

I enter Bassarov's apartment to join the discussion of a new rebel base.
"Sorry I'm late..."
I sit down.
"Maybe we're going about this all wrong. Perhaps the best we can do is work in small, decentralized..."
I start to think about how well the other rebels would be able to lead themselves.
"...No, this is probably the right decision."

"Well then, lets place an order for seeds as well."
I guess I am traditional in my ways, and not about fancy smancey powers
I call up 1-800 seeds and order seeds for various grasses and wild flowers

I examine the area.
"A forest spirit? Might you know where the spirit dwells? I may be able to commune with it."

((This post concerns Ookami))
"Good to see you, comrade. I hope you don't mind staying in Helsinki, since that is where you are needed."
Bassarov remembers another rebel.
"I have to call Ookami...hold on..." Bassarov makes the call
"Ookami, we want you to join the rebels in Japan, since that is where you are from and where you will be the most useful."
Bassarov turns to Garret and Linnea.
"You two can check out the metro, I think you will appreciate the architecture. And Linnea, I want you to do many murals down there. Since there are some nice long walls, perfect for some art."

"Oh yes I would love to do it. But I would be afraid to go down by myself. Red Infinity is already after me for my artwork. And if they got wind of this, it wouldn't be good."

"Zero and I were down there last night so it should be safe as long as both of you go." Bassarov replies

"Zdrastvutcha Misha. I am glad to see that you are back around..." I pause. "We could use your help down in the metro. You're strong and intelligent, and there is a lot of work to be done."

"OK sounds good. Now I can't wait," she said before looking up at Garret.

I continue.
"...heavy damage from a combination of deadly winds, and floods. In addition, the rumors that the anarchists have joined forces with the main rebel group seem to be true, for within the destruction from the natural disasters, several secondary explosions were sighted via satellite. These are believed to have been from a mass quantity of small, pipe bomb sized homemade explosives, in addition to the destruction of their homemade chemical bombs..."
I continue to weave the story about Helsinki, then change topics seamlessly.
"...torture within the Ministry of Terror. The Ministry of Terror was named as such to terrify the enemies of Red Infinity, mainly the sole capitalist superpower of the time, the former United States, and now that no substantial threats exist, the name simply sticks because of tradition. The reports coming from within the complex are patently false, and quite frankly, I am sick and tired of debunking these ludicrous rumors that have always been floating around this establishment..."
I go on to explain how the Ministry of Terror actually runs, the interrogation processes, and how this is simply another rebel conspiracy to sully the good name of Red Infinity.
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

"Yeah, lets check it out. We can catch something to eat along the way from a bakery or coffee shop. Let's go, doll!"
I grab her hand and leave the apartment

I move into the temporary base.
"Hello? Is Mr. Bassarov here?"
