Fighting the Machine God

[Valodya Bassarov]

"Red Infinity was created after the revolution. By then the revolution and the ideals thereof had already been betrayed. Before Red Infinity was the 4th International, which was an international movement of Trotskyists." Bassarov explains.

"These were the people who spearheaded and directed much of the mass action of the revolution against capitalism. But external pressures as well as a factional blight within our organization, lead to the unfavorable turn of events that became Red Infinity."

[Josh the Crash Master]

Pain, pain, pain, pain, pain, pain, pain, pain, pain.
All Josh could think about was how sore he was after being shot at, rolling around to dodge, running for his life, and then coming back to find the house blow up... all of it very depresing really. He was limping slightly, and his chest felt like it was too tight, but he was alive. He just sat down near it and sighed, he'd missed everything that'd happened after that android had tried killing him. He almost cried.

[Lila]

I wont forget about you. I promise. Now...
Lila stands infront of a door infront at the end of the hallway. She pushes open the door. Its a bathroom with a bathtub and a sink.
You need to take a bath before I feed you. Do you need help, or can you manage?
((Gotta go. L8ter))

[Nigel Eckhart]

Nigel wonders about what Kayta has said, but he can hardly hear anything outside. Perhaps Kayta's senses are beyond his.

Nige smiles weekly.
"I do not hear anything, dear Kayta. It could probably be beyond my hearing..."

Nigel feels his stomach growl again.
"...I don't want to trouble with what your brother is doing. Perhaps after we find something to eat, we shall inquiry as to what he is doing. Forgive me to say, but my body has gone without food for more time than I could say."

Nigel shows an apologetic smile.

[Antero Black]

"You can help me...." Antero says with an innocent look on his face.

[Katya]

Katya finally finds a kitchen like area. Apparently her brother had brought some food for his new bride. She quickly makes Nigel a sandwich and smiles as she pours him an alcoholic drink.

"The sandwich may freeze soon so eat it quickly. However the alcohol shall not freeze."

She gives it to him yet stands at attention. Something was happening.

"Something is happening. Some sort of commotion upstairs."

[Nigel Eckhart]

Nigel quickly worked to eat the sandwich, out of the thought of it freezing on him. In a few minutes, he managed to finish it. A satisfying smile on his face as he looked to Kayta.

"Thank you, dear Kayta. I am sorry for my attitude earlier. I feel much better now."

Nigel thinks about Kayta's words. Sipping on his wine, he instinctively feels his Chakram attached to his belt. He speaks to her again.

"If it troubles you so, then let us see what could be causing such noise."
Nigel showed a small smile, but his spirits were, as now he was able to have food.

[Xeno]

Maybe about a few seconds later, Xeno rushed back into the Ministry and rushed up to Erika. "We're gonna get the Machine God!" She exlaimed. "Aren't you going to get any weapons??"

[Ludda]

"Wella hey Riku, maybe we should like go to Germany and ug fight that machine, right..."
I wish Riku would act nicer.

[Lin-Sat]

Though I know Talice will take time to do her job, I find the delays particularily vexing. With nothing else to do at the moment, I lean back in my chair and search my formidable memory bank for other things that need my attention.

[Mikhael Nadyezhda (Mischa)]

(Flashback A)

As I stand in a line with the other soldiers, I see more and more people show up. Eventually, Bassarov himself shows up. I look at him, dumbfounded, as though he really isn't supposed to be here. I immediately gather myself, and look over all the protestors. The CO comes up behind me.

"If it gets too rowdy, feel free to shoot a few warning shots..."

I freeze.

(Flashback B)

I scratch my head. "W-well, I think we were talking about classes... It's too bad that I'm going back to Argentina soon..." I say, shallowly.

"I've err, really missed you..."

[Tanya]

*Flashback*

"WHAT??" I burst. "You can't go to Argentina! I'll be miserible! I am not letting you go study with that Bassarov!" I said in a questioning tone

[Valodya Bassarov]

Bassarov's thoughts drift off to when he first met Kaieka. That was about a year ago. When he is stressed he goes back to those times, and carries with him memory and sadness.


Flashback One Year Ago:

Bassarov wakes up in a cell, he has been captured again, and is going to be tortured. He has endured this before so is not afraid. It has been years since he has seen Mischa, and he has therefore cloistered himself in socialism.

He hears someone at the door, and lifts his head.

[Kaieka]

(Bassarov's flashback)

I walk into the cell and see the man hanging against the wall. He has been beaten and hangs limply in his bonds.

A cold laugh escapes from my lips, one that would send shivers down any hearers spine.

"What have we here? What do they think of, to send me a curr, half beaten? But still..."

I walk up to him, standing so close and run my long nails down his chest, my face inches from his own.

"What is your name and your sin, that you should stand before me and receive my talents?"

[Riku]

((Good night, pleasant dreams all,

^_^ good to see you again kaieka... hopefully you will stay

we all miss you ^_^))
