A Collective Effort

[Erika "Zwei" Faust]

"What?" I say as a girl I have never met before (Xeno) walks up to me/ "What do you mean am I ready, and who are you?"

[Valodya Bassarov]

((Flashback))
"Here we are...." Bassarov joins the peace protestors. He is carrying some posters and flyers to be handed out.

He distributes the posters to eager protestors and waits for more people to arrive.

"This is quite a turnout."

[Allen]

i grin alittle as i see shard walk out of the torturing room, mad. "you really should stick around.... sometimes that seven gets alittle too into torturing and starts on his partners....".

i keep my eyes on him, my face expressionless now. "... heh, its funny, ya know.... pretty soon that dog will start staying here, where you can be with her". i chuckly, though you could tell it was fake. i look back at him, my face expressionless again.

Bassarov walks over to Zero.

"This is Eliza, she is interviewing me right now, so I hope you don't mind if she tags along with us."

He looks at Kaze and Wyrm.

"It seems there is no luck coming up with solutions against this thing. But getting inside is the best bet."

[Edea]

I layed on my bed half in control of the body. I teleported out of the battle on orders of my battle. "If I would have battled more I would've have gained my power." I said

i fluffed my pillow. "I am going to have to fight yet again to finally maintian my true beauty." I said smiling as I softly went to sleep resting letting Edea wake up in her own mind and fall asleep also.

I look at Eliza. I have never seen her before, but somehow she doesn't seem as 'threatening' to me as other women. "I don't mind. I agree that our best bet is to get inside. The main things we'll need are a cutting torch and a neutron absorber."

[Valodya Bassarov]

"Where can we get a nuetron absorber?" Bassarov asks.

["Zero" Americanski]

"Boron-10 is the best material. However it is extremely hard to find. We may be able to get by with regular boric acid, though the effectiveness would be reduced. But this is all assuming that it is fission powered... If the machines have fusion, then I don't know what to do... Other than just blow it up."

[Valodya Bassarov]

"Hmm, would Red Infinity have boron 10? That might be our best option." Bassarov says after considering the situation for a few moments.

["Zero" Americanski]

"Any country that uses fission reactors as a power source, weather it be for electrical, industrial or military purposes would have it. It's available in two forms, a solid and a saline solution. We need the solution." I state, only then realizing that Bassarov probaly isn't familiar with the operation and sabotage of a nuclear reactor. "We need to seed the reactor's active water system with the boron in order to shut down the chain reaction. No reaction no heat, no heat no steam, no steam no power, no power no machine God."

[Valodya Bassarov]

"Yes, that makes sense." It has been years since Bassarov has had physics or chemistry, so he is not the keenest on what Zero is saying, but understands the gist of it.
"So perhaps someone should go to Red Infinity to ask for some Boron 10. This is all assuming that the machine is powered by some nuclear reaction." Bassarov is uncertain if that is how the machine operates, but since he has no better suggestions, anything is worth a try.

["Zero" Americanski]

I chuckle slightly. "You of all people should realize that you don't just walk up to the ruling Government and ask for something that could be used to shut down a significant portion of their own power grid! But we can always try..."

[Valodya Bassarov]

"Well sometimes you have to look beyond self interest of political difference and see something for what it is, a threat to humanity. I hope that Red Infinity has the same rationality about them. Though for something like this we would need to talk to someone important...."

["Zero" Americanski]

"I can think of several such people... And none of them like either of us very much. We'd probaly have to send someone in our stead." I state. Just the idea of meeting Kolov, who still wants me dead, makes me shudder.

[Valodya Bassarov]

"Maybe a rebel who is less hated or less famous. We could send someone like....Linnea or Brady..." Bassarov suggests.
