"Fine, you're too soft, Sakari. Too soft with people who shouldn't be coddled." I shout back at Sakari.
I teleport back to Helsinki, back to the apartment.
"Sakari and I found Antero. Sakari is dealing with him right now."
I go to the kitchen and get some water.

"Those rebels might attack me! I'm a Minister. I'm a very important person, you know! Sure, take a seat Mr. Newton. This here is my dragon body gaurd, Valkanen Joki."

"Two billion years." Damascus said out of the blue. "My memory only reaches back that far, because that was the first time that Mother seized my mind and controlled me completly.
"After that, it was year after year of hardship and strife, fighting my own kind because," Damascus paused, lowering a hand from his eyes, so that only one eye was covered.
"I don't even remember why we were fighting, just that we were. There's, at best, a couple hundred billion years of life inside of me. Humans were pretty early creations, and we came after them. In fact, they were one of the top five. Not soon after, Louhi obtained Godhood, and then she made us for amusement." He took a deep breath, a few flashes of pain and rain and red mud.
"35 billion years, they said at one time, was the time of the dinosaurs. There were never 'dinosaurs,' not as we called them, anyway. Only dragons, humans, gods, and dust. People found bones of things that existed, billions of years after the real 'thunder lizards' had lived their golden years." He paused for a long moment, recollecting information. "Of course, I'm saying a little less then half of this out of actual memory. The rest is just educated guess. Time is a strange thing, Set. It can be longer or shorter depending upon billions of variables, ranging from atomic to universal."
He laughed, suddenly and drily.
"A living, breathing piece of history I am, eh?" He laughed harder.

"Hi" Huey says to Vaolkoinen, with a mouthfull of donut. He swallows his donut then looks at Krupskaya.
"So, workin' hard or hardly workin, Ms. Krupskaya?" he asked with a grin.

"Your mother and Despair both care." I say, starting my list. "And I certainly do." I consider saying 'Red Infinity', but decide against it.

"That is fine." Alister replies, simply. "I will leave tonight. She is at the Ministry of Terror, correct?"

Huey laughed.
"I know the feeling - I can never get any work done when there's a cute Nymph in front of me." Huey said, only half jokingly.

I glance at the minister as I lean aginst the wall, I glance around, this office was rather big... I could probably fit in here in my dragon form and still be out of the way. I shake my head and keep an eye out

"That's right, she's at the Ministry of Terror. If you have any trouble, give me a call. Otherwise, I am counting on you." Bassarov hands Alister his cell number. He turns to Zero and remembers that he promised that he would do something with her tonight. He wonders if this is insensitive considering what happened to Mischa just last week.
He scratches his head.
"I've already done a lot against Mischa lately, so I better not test my luck. We could go to a movie or something like that. I am not much for movies but it might be fun."

((Che would probably not be any more of a hero to the Stalinists than Trotsky.))
Zinn rolls her eyes.
"I don't see why you're so opposed to logic. It's a good thing."
She leaves the room, and contacts Sakari and Nova telepathically.
How goes the search for Antero?

Set is surprised to hear of this. Billions of years? That means Set is billions of years younger than Damascus.
"It appears that no race has a shortage of things to quarrel about." Set says, remembering the war that Damascus speaks of. He wasn't alive during this time, but heard stories.
"Things have changed dramatically since that time. I must say that you are substantially older than I am, which I find difficult to contemplate, for it feels as though I have been alive for eons, serving countless masters..." He replies, now beginning to be interested in Damascus's story.
"But it appears that there is a lot that I may be able to learn from you. If it would alleviate your boredom, I would like to hear about your past if you're willing to tell it."
