The Mystery of Pain

[Harry Bergstrom]

"Be true to yourself... I like that." Harry said, relaxing a bit. "Can I use that?"

[Aung San Suu Kyi]

"Sometimes I am depressed as well, Damascus. I am not from this time. I am from the late 1900s and early 2000s. I was frozen and unthawed in this nightmarish world. But I have a job to do here, and doing this job makes me happy."

I hold on tighter.

"In my own time, my country lived under a military dictatorship. This is not so different. I spent years under house arrest because I represented freedom and democracy. I could not even travel to England to see my husband when he was dieing of cancer. He died while I was under house arrest. I sacrificed my love and personal life for the democracy and freedom."

"Certainly...I am not a comedian so I can let you steal my material."

["Zero" Americanski]

(sorry Elijah, didn't see your line)

"Supply hoarding? Not likely. We're renovating this facility for future use, so we do have a number of industrial supplies on-hand... Your informant must've been mistaken."

[Harry Bergstrom]

"Oh, no, it's not for comical purposes. I'm also a philosopher. Sometimes I'm a stand-up philosopher." he says with a smirk.

[Chai Ling]

"I see then, yes, you can use it."

I think of other topics.

"Maybe you should invite other Hagana members over here sometime."

[Rolf Wagner]

"If so then you have nothing to hide and no reason to delay me. I will be done in ten minutes, I simply have to account for all your materials."

[Elijah Debs]

Elijah stands behind Zero and watches. He does not trust this man or any Red Infinity member. If it comes to it, he will fight him.

[Harry Bergstrom]

"I'll see about doing that sometime. I'm sure there are some members who'd be willing to come, though I've met a few soldiers who seem to have no life outside the Hagana Military..." he says.

[Damascus]

Damascus would have said, "Now multiply that by a couple billion years and see what I see," but he decided against it, feeling that making her feel worse wouldn't improve either of their moods.
He just nodded, which was hard to tell because his whole body was in constant motion from his wings flapping.
-Rayven,- He said. -Is- He put emphasis on the word "is," because he couldn't believe that Rayven was dead. -Another dragon, the only person that I love with all my heart. But I haven't seen her in months, and that's a long time, no matter how long you've been alive. I miss her, and no one can tell me where she is.- He sighed again.
-The last thing I remember telling her was that I loved her more than anything, and making her a promise.- He sighed, sounding like he was readying to breath down fire.
Using human mannerisms, and being in dragon form, did not mix well at all. Smiling looked pure evil, and other facial expressions looked worse, or made him look like an idiot.

I think for a second. There are sections of the base that I can't allow him to enter, but if we can talk our way out of this it'd be better than shooting him or putting him on the third rail... "Sure. All our supplies are located in the old baggage terminal. (this is not a lie). It's right this way." I lead him well away from the murals and equipment to the supply room.

Inside are large tubs of solvents and paints, some food, and other normal supplies.

[Chai Ling]

"That's really too bad, not that I am one to talk. But in a world that it is so serious, for some people it is impossible to lighten up."

[Elijah Debs]

Elijah follows along in silence, in the even he is needed to fight.

[Rolf Wagner]

Wagner follows Zero to the supplies, glancing around he they walk. Once into the supply room Wagner looks over everything as though he actually cared.

"Everything appears to be in order." Wagner turns away from the supplies, "I should check your construction permits as well... but there are other places to check. Good day."

He leaves the supply room and walks back out the way he came.

[Aung San Suu Kyi]

"I'm sure she'll come back. People come and go, but the ones who truly love you always return in some form or another."

We finally near the Ministry of Peace. The conversation made the flight seem shorter.
