"Yes, I am very sorry about last time. I don't see why you didn't bring me here then..." I sigh, and compose myself. "I'm ready."

"Oh well, you are here now. I will accelerate time and let the staff here take care of the rest."
Kaschei is lead to a small white room by the medical staff at hand who observe as he accelerates time about 9 months in the life of Erika Faust.
When he is done he leaves the room and lets them take care of the rest.

Once again I am still amazed when my figure changes almost instantly, and just how fast the contractions begin. However unlike last time I am being attended by a trained staff instead of just Pukk, and the birth goes easialy. Once the baby has been cleaned and wrapped in a towel, I request that everyone leave for a few minutes and I call Despair to my room.

When Despair is called to her room, he reluctantly comes. The idea of giving birth to some tool to be used by Red Infinity still does not sit well with him. The idea of babies, life, pregnancy, etc. itself does not settle well with him. He uncomfortably enters the room.
"Hello Erika, I am glad to see that you are well." He replies in a robotic tone.

Eliza laughs at Stephen's comment. She rises to open the front door but hears Celes answer it and settles back down.
All these things are custom made by some of oyr own Last Wave members. This house and the tunnels under it were bulit by them too. I am very proud of this place.
Eliza's smile fades and she looks like she is all business now. She pulls out a small laptop and starts typing in Stephen's information. Once she is done, she sets it aside and smiles again.
I am very pleased you showed up when you did. Though some of the women would frown at me about this, having men in our cause is a great relief. Now... I think its only fair I get you a room then introduce you to some of our members.
Eliza gets up and heads to the door on the left. She punches in a code and the door slides aside. She steps inside and waites for Stephen to come in before closing the door.
These are the real rooms. The ones upstairs are mock rooms, in case we ever get attacked. If we ever were, this door wouldn't open for anyone. Since, the rooms are underground, blowing it would be useless.

"Hello, mein liebe. I just wanted to let you know that I'm going to be taking a couple of days off, and I'd like to spend them with you." I coo for my daughter, and kiss her on the forehead. "Despair, this is Iris. I wanted you to meet her before I.... turn her over..." Like before I feel almost sick at the concept of losing my child, and now I desperately want to run away with Iris, so Red Infinity can't use her.... But like me her fate has already been chosen...

"Iris is a nice name. She is a pretty baby." Most babies are in their own way cute, but Iris really is a pretty baby.

Kaschei re enters the room. He has to do one final time acceleration before his day is done and he can return to Tsubaki.
"Hello again Erika. Good to see that things went well for you. I have one final task."
Kaschei steps towards the baby and raises his staff of ages. He begins to chant over the baby, who in moments turns into a young woman. The young woman is no on the bed, sleeping next to Erika.
"With that done, I am leaving."
Kaschei turns and teleports back to Tsubaki and the Leshay.

"Thank you... I'd like to raise her myself this time... I am sad that I didn't raise Mitya myself, but I can't. Hopefully at least she will respect her mother..." I feel pathetic, that once again I am being used against my will, and that I know I will be for the rest of my life. It is my destiny.

"This is all so strange. I...wish I could do something. I feel trapped..." Despair looks at the now full grown Iris and shakes his head.

"I'm sure you'll make a wonderful mother." Noe fades in beside Erika's bed, three wine glasses in hand, an open bottle of white wine in the other. He begins filling the glasses, smiling slightly. "But as I was saying, you might not be able to. After all, the government has claim on this child. Cheers."
Noe holds up his glass, the other two appearing in Erika and Despair's hands.

"We're both trapped... As is Iris, and Mitya. The whole world is trapped..." I shut my eyes and let the tears flow, but make no sound.
The glass appears in my hand, but I make no move to drink it... I should be happy but instead I feel very depressed.

"The whole world is trapped....." Despair repeats vacantly. He turns to Noe and is confused why he decided to show up.
"It is you again. Did you find your android?"

"Not yet it seems. We have a few we're looking into. Your siblings mostly." Noe takes a sip of his glass. "Oh, I brought a gift." The director hands Erika a glass statue of a woman with her arms raised over her head, a blast of water surrounding her. The figure of the woman has not face but the detail is exact. "I thought you might like something to decorate."

Bassarov notices that Zero hasn't left with Norrec yet. He sits on the couch and looks up at her.
"Mischa and I had a small argument last night. It appears I was mistaken and there is nothing between him and Erika..."
