| + | "What?" X asked, "What do you mean the blueprints are gone?" | ||
| + | |||
| + | "They were stolen by the resistance milord," Professor Man stammered, "All our data had been wiped, and with the factory gone we have no way of recreating them." | ||
| + | "Though we did recover the bodies," he injected helpfully at the end. | ||
| + | |||
| + | "Don't try to sound optimistic," X snarled, "You've failed me, and you've failed all of Neo Arcadia. I've canceled my order, we shall have to make due with the pantheon line." | ||
| + | |||
| + | "No Milord! Please, I beg of you-" | ||
| + | |||
| + | "Get out of my sight," X ordered. | ||

| + | "It seems as though your information was sound," Elpizo commented. | ||
| + | |||
| + | "I thought as much," answered the figure on the monitor. "You can imagine of course, the repercussions if they were mass produced." | ||
| + | |||
| + | Elpizo searched the person's face, which was covered by a cloak and hidden by shadows. It was impossible to tell if he were a human or a reploid. "I'd like to say you've earned my trust," Elpizo continued, "But I don't like secrets. Who are you?" | ||
| + | |||
| + | "Todd Moniker." | ||
| + | |||
| + | "You know that's not what I meant. Who do you work for? How did you get that information? How did you even get my contact information?" | ||
| + | |||
| + | Todd held up a hand, "All I'll say is that you may have friends in Neo Arcadia. Many of us are opposed to the war. But then I can't speak for the others. Until next time." | ||
| + | |||
| + | "Wait!" Elpizo slammed his fist into the wall, the screen had gone blank. The commander sighed and left the room. He didn't like having to rely on the information of others, he'd wanted his resistance to be self sufficient. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Elpizo looked up, his feet had led him to Ciel's lab as they usually did when he was troubled. He entered the room but it was quickly apparent that no one was there but the cyber elf floating in its tank, the baby elf he had given to her after he'd escaped from Neo Arcadia. Elpizo slowly approached the tank, gazing at the elf. It had made her so happy he remembered. And since he' taken command she'd spent all her time studying it, though she'd always made time for him... | ||
| + | |||
| + | There was a second baby elf, Elpizo remembered, but he hadn't been able to get it before leaving Neo Arcadia... perhaps it was time to go get the second one as a way of repaying her for all the kindness she'd shown him. He was sure she could use it for her research... | ||
