Jenosa stood with a minor tremble, her body still recovering and it wanted to rest. Yet she forced herself to stand; she could not ignore the killer, nagging feeling in the back of her head. She suddenly felt a chill shiver down her spine, for the...Scurge was not giving out a subconscious signal, but it was directly communicating to her. The deep, hidden instincts that dwelled within the bottom of her mind weren't bothering her so much now, as the little 'trauma' she had suffered before then had actually strengthened her mental grip on herself. She felt she had enough experience to keep these urges from messing up her mind.

No, it was the not the instincts that creeped her out. She could distinctly tell this was from...a more singular mind, and simply having his - no its - thoughts in her head was unnerving. She didn't even want to think what it would be like to 'chat' with a collective hive mind.

However, what truly got under her skin about this situation was the this Scurge was not just trying to make idle chit-chat - not that she could really talk back - but it was black mailing her. The son of bitch was threatening to capture, or if not that, kill whoever he was fighting, and while it was clear to her that Twilight wasn’t being held like a helpless hostage, she could that if he wanted to, he could do some serious damage. There was also the other person it was fighting, and she got the feeling he was tempted to infect him. Granted, all of this came to her in little fragments, but it presented her with the gist of the message: Come here of they die.

Both Twilight and the other guy looked capable fighters, but one of the sensations she got told her that something nasty was in the air about the fighting zone; and she had plenty of hard earned experience to tell Scurge could be deceptively dangerous.

She knew by Adam’s actions that he wouldn’t allow her to leave, but she wasn’t about to argue. Time wasn’t on her side, so she would simply have to get out on her own. “Sorry if I’m going to tick you off Adam,” she said, approaching the hatch and shuffling for something in one of her pockets, “but this party really does call for my attention. I hope you’ll understand later.”

She heard the hatch to the outside click and lock, and Jenosa chuckled. She opened a hidden panel beside the hatch and plugged in what looked like a key into a key hole. “Nice try buddy!” She said, as she twisted the key, and in doing so, activated a mechanical mechanism that overridden any electronic influence Adam had over the lock. The door opened and barely managed to buckle herself down from the small change in pressure. “Oh,” she added, “be on the look for cloaked ships around the battle field.”

She jumped out, using a grapple hook-like device that she had under her coat to safely land.

Gellion felt Twilight’s attack burn one of his shoulder, and it actually seem to disintegrate small part of his body; but only a small portion. He ignored Twilight for the moment, simply staring at Faulias. He moved slowly towards the Faulias as he spoke back, “Yes…that’s right,” he rasped as if he was having a problem ‘breathing,’ “I do what I can…to win. And the winner…will be the one whose ship fires first.”

De-cloaking in the air near the warehouse was a sleek, single-pilot fighter craft. Its twin ion cannons were ready to fire any second.

OOC: Sorry about the time it took, had some stuff to deal with. Tell me if I forgot anything.

Twilight could feel how the light energy burned Gellion's shoulder, but at the same time it was clearly not enough to overpower whatever the man was made off, as it just made a surface level wound. He needed to use something more powerful to deal with this man but Twilight doubted that Gellion would ignore him long enough to actually gather the energy necessary. The man was clearly capable of sensing energy and thus him loading up a large amount would become like a beacon. Wait, beacon? With those thoughts Twilight looked down to the light energy core in his clawed hand, he had what he needed, though it held risks.

With Gellion concentrated entierly on Faulias, Twilight moved out of the mans line of sight as he tried to put a fair, but not too far, distance between them. And as he found a nice spot a good twenty meters behind the strange man he held up the light core infront of him as he grabbed the other side of it with his other hand and began to concentrate, bringing sending small streams of light energy into the orb with which he hoped to manipulate the energy within it. The energy in the light orb was immense, with just tapping into it slightly Twilight felt like he was about to be consumed by it! He could only guess it was due to his dark nature, but this was most likely their only chance of both of them getting out of this fight alive.

Then suddenly a spherical object appeared infront of him, nearly out of nowhere, nearly causing Twilight to lash out in surprise. Then the voice of who he believed to be Adam sounded from the small device, wheter the 'man' was sending his voice through it, or this was his true guise, was impossible for Twilight to tell. All he knew was that the 'man' was no ordinary person or even human at all, maybe not even a biological creature. "Adam..? I cannot simply leave Faulias to fight this...Thing... I must aid him." He responded silently, due to his broken visor it would be easy for Adam to hear him. Then he took a step to the side and resumed his concentration, it was just mere moments away...

Almost out of nowhere the warehouse was filled with a serene white light emanating from the orb clutched in Twilights hands, as a massive amount of light energy was swirling outside its surface before wrapping around Twilights right arm, the exposed 'flesh' of the Ing was clearly taking damage from the intense light radiation as he let go with his right arm and aimed it at Gellion, channeling the remaining energy through the air between the orb and his arm. "You really... Talk to much." Twilight muttered, loud enough to be heard but not really shouting it, and just a moment later a loud piercing sound echoed out from him as the light energy was released in a huge beam of pure white energy. If it was not enough to kill the man, it would atleast send him for a loop.

This was certainly a new, interesting situation Wight found himself in. Usually he was merely sent to deal with a problem, be it a person or an object his job was to take it out. However the Grey Fox had certainly put this hunt for a spin, infact as it appeared now she had the upper hand, by both choosing the location of their meeting, and having someone to watch him behind his back for her. Nontheles, it was an interesting situation he found himself in.

The stealth agent listened with genuine interest as the woman began to explain her reasoning for why she wanted Twilight herself, who she was apparently working for in rather vague terms, and what the Ing was worth to her 'powerful friends'. However she made a slight mistake by thinking she could bribe him, even if he was badly payed, which he wasn't, he would not have fallen for her '50/50' trick. He had severe doubts she would contact him personally and arrange a meeting just to give him half of her reward. Not to mention that it seemed complete bollox due to her previously sent message which told the Bounty Hunters to deliver Twilight to her 'dead' or alive. Of course, that could just have been a trick to cause chaos in their own rank, making it easier for her to capture Twilight. What a troublesome woman.

However, he thought he'd play along and perhaps get a better opportunity to end this, as even if he could 'most' likely deal with the guy on his back before the man could act, he doubted the Fox would go down so easily. "..:Very well, you've got my interest." He said after a short while, sounding slightly hesitant, however that was an act to make it seem like he was still fully unsure of what to do.

This Donovan seemed to be genuinelly concerned about the operation itself, but acting was probably a general thing for these Section 6 agents. Dr. Harris had been surprised Section 6 had taken notice of his operation, mostly due to the fact he had never had any real interaction with them before, and as such had very little knowledge of how far their intelligence network extended. But now afterwards he realized that including the targets name in the message report had most likely not been the greatest of ideas, but everyone made mistakes, and mistakes could be dealt with.

These 'sentient computer programs' truly caused the man to worry however, if what Donovan said was true, then they seemed to be extremely similiar, if not the same, to what he had read in a short file once. GI. He had never truly believed in their existance himself, due to how little concrete information there was on them, atleast what was available to him, and he had access to most, legal or not. However he doubted that Donovan would outright lie about something like this in order to get a finger into the operation, as it would burn later when proven false.

After about fifteen minutes of wait Dr. Harris came out into the lounge where Donovan seemed to have just about finished his meal. Harris sat down in the seat opposite to the agent, still dressed in his clean white lab coat, leaning his elbows on the table as he joined his hands togheter. "Your division has a clear interest in this operation, but before I can answer any of your questions, I must know what that interest is. I have a superior in higher areas than you, and am under normal circumstances not allowed to speak of this. I hope you understand."

Roffel House!

Adam made a sound similar to a choking rat when Jenna overrode the door’s electronic lock and hopped outside into the fray. What was with women these days?! They were insane! Did they not understand that people didn’t come back to life if they died? Most of the time, anyway? Jenosa was in absolutely no state of mind to be fighting.

And of course, Twilight was giving him a similar headache, but at least the Ing’s request made sense. It was wrong to leave an ally on the battlefield that had come to rescue you. Adam’s HFI bobbed in the approximation of a nod and respectfully hovered out of Twilight’s way.

The delay also gave Adam some time to realize just how different Omega’s friend had become. Twilight’s signature was very different than when Adam had first met the Ing. Samus had debriefed Adam on the characteristics of the Ing before she went her own way, but there was a difference between hearing an account of something and having the hard data to look at. Twilight still radiated a sort of inexplicable wavelength that Samus had simply called ‘dark energy’, but now Twilight was also giving off the exact inverse of that wavelength. The two energies canceled each other out when Twilight was calm, but as Adam watched, it became obvious that Twilight had a very firm control over which wavelength he wanted to promote at any given time.

The HFI’s sensors essentially became blinded while Twilight did whatever he was doing, leaving Adam’s rapidly approaching ship as his only eyes and ears. However, they were very good eyes and ears, and Adam heard Gellion’s challenge as if he’d been screaming it in his ear.

With a malicious electronic chuckle, the turrets on the nose of Adam’s ship swiveled and locked into place. Even before Gellion had finished the last syllable of his threat, two luminal bolts of searing energy lanced their way instantaneously through the insignificant space that separated Adam’s ship from Gellion’s. Ten kilometers was nothing to a super compact cluster of agitated photons. The energy bolts arrived with a crack of thunder, one striking the ship dead center and the other hitting the engine blocks in a flash of lightning.

Faulias was nowhere near prepared for the beam of energy that Twilight conjured from the light crystal. It ripped through the already decimated warehouse, the sheer force of it sending Faulias slamming against one of the remaining walls, and keeping him pinned there. The force was incredibly intense, putting his suit systems into chaos.

Code:
 
WARNING: Light-based radiation detected.

WARNING: External temperature rapidly rising.

Attempting to activate radiation/heat wards... failed. The system did not respond.

WARNING: Suit hull under significant pressure from outside force. Stability decreasing at a 6%/ps rate. Advise evacuation.

WARNING: Power systems damaged. Current suit power at 76% and decreasing.

WARNING: Hull integrity at critical levels! 25% and falling!

WARN iaisg ai15*#I*B3dUe49 1$ `14$% 11{~# !!......

The messages cut out as a crack split across Faulias's visor. Blinding light poured from it as it traveled further across his vision and behind him. Suddenly, the pressure overwhelmed him, and he roared in pain as his helmet split open, revealing his eyes and one half his face. The shards of his helmet littered the floor as the man dropped to his knees, released from the pressure. He took no time sitting around, though, and promptly lifted himself off the ground and hobbled outside the ruins.

He looked back at Twilight, then looked around. Faulias' assist squad had arrived by the look of things, and his ruse had worked, as there seemed to be signs of significant firefighting. All of the Federation troops had stopped fighting now though, and were simply staring at Twilight. One troop began to rush forward with his gun drawn, but Faulias swiftly turned and caught him, gripping him with his Breaker Gauntlet by his helmet, palm to the man's face plate. "No," he grunted before throwing the man to the side. He glared at the other soldiers now, before he began to talk to them.

"Yeah, that's Twilight. Yeah, he's who we're tracking down, but this bastard saved my life just now..." He coughed heavily, blood splattering the ground around his feet. "He's a good soldier. If you want to kill him, I expect you all to go through me first." He clenched his Gauntlet, electricity arcing up his arm again as he gripped his only remaining weapon, his assault rifle, in his other hand.

(OOC: Tell me if this is too much)

Adam's shot appear to have struck dead on. The sides of Gellion's ship flared with red then white, giving off large, white specks that fluttered from the impact zones like dust before disappearing after a while; all of this seemed to give an indication that there was an explosion of sorts from the impact; at least from the naked eye. The impact appeared to be enough to throw the ship off balance and send it crashing into some abandoned buildings; as it did, the whole ship seemed to silently explode with a glint of pure red, appearing untainted by any form of smoke or debris. At an odd angle, it seemed like a rather odd explosion, and any ship sensors’ trying to get an idea of what was happening would get very messy readings.

This, along the dust and debris it's crash it created as it blistered with red all around it, completely obscured it's wreckage for a short time.

Inside, Gellion had barely any time to react to Adam's attack, as well as Twilights. "GAAAAHHH! He growled in pain as he felt his entire senses overload for a brief moment, and the burning sensation pound his body. As the light cleared and people's vision came back, it appeared that Gellion was still alive. However, he appeared to show his true colors; all of the colorful, human aspects of himself had been disintegrated. His 'make-up' gone, Gellion's humanoid shape was still retained; but now he looked to be a completely, light blue, lightly shimmering, living statue.

Small chunks in various areas of his body had been burned away, and there even appeared to a few areas where the details seem distorted. He appeared rather frustrated and tired, and looking at Twilight with deeply, infuriated blue eyes, he simply ushered one word.

"Die!"
-----------------------

The soldiers that Faulias was talking to did seem rather hesitant in what to do; they had no proof of Faulias being saved, but they were sure of what to make of his actions either; plus, even with his damaged suit, he still looked rather dangerous. However, before any of them could take action, one of the soldiers pointed towards the rubble where Gellion's ship had crashed.

Rising out of the dust and debris was a pure, blood red, shimmering arrow head that appeared to be slightly bigger than the ship. If floated with its tip pointed towards the warehouse, and front of the arrow head began to quickly dissolve. As soon as one quarter of it disappeared, a potent beam energy shot out from the whole; a beam that could only be from a combat ship. It blazed into a part of the warehouse, where it exploded very close

The rest of the arrow head dissolved, and was revealed that this had been surrounding Gellion's ship. Only one of its two cannons had fired, the other already charged and ready. As it aimed once more, a flock of little egg-shaped were also pouring out from under a bottom hatch and attempting to put themselves in between Adam and Gellion's ship.

The ship was ready to fire before Adam could, and yet...

An energy bolt zipped past Gellion's head as a way of saying, "Hello." Standing just out of a torn hole in the crumbling warehouse with a handgun was Jenosa, looking tired but ready to fight.

Gellion did nothing but stay rather still as she spoke, "Did I come at a bad time?"

Faulias looked at the rubble along with the other troops. When its weapons began to deploy, he looked down at his PDA, which was roughed up but still functional.
Code:
 
SHIP_CONSOLE: INPUTCOMMAND?
He activated the voice function and screamed into it. "Command 'Kill It With Fire,' Cords 53-13 Local!"
Code:
 
SHIP_CONSOLE: COMMAND CONFIRMED. VOICE RECOGNITION SUCCESSFUL. CORD 5313L. INITIALIZING.
Faulias's ship's engines flared violently, scorching grass and shrubs around the backside of the craft. The fightercraft lifted off of the ground and turned toward the 'wreckage' of Gellion's ship, and, with ushered out a very tangible click. Faulias's ship was large for a fighter, but the interior was small, and for one reason.

From the ship's hull came several under-mounted gun batteries, top-mounted particle accelerator cannons, and a massively over-sized back-mounted cannon that crawled across the top of the ship and secured itself. The gun batteries opened up immediately, pouring a rain of metal upon the ship as the particle cannons charged themselves and fired in unison. After a few volleys, the gun batteries stopped as they glowed red and there was a glow from the rear-mounted cannon, and a devastating ray of accelerated particles enveloped Gellion's ship. The recoil from the blast sent Faulias's ship backwards and downward' and it took a few seconds for it to get back into position to potentially fire another volley.

There was a thick smoke around the wreckage, and Faulias struggled to see through it as he squinted his eyes to see...

(OOC: Just for your information, Gellion's ship 'crashed' into a building, but floated back up and was a loft like it hadn't been hit. The red arrow head shell covering it essentially protected it from the crash.

Also, give me a holler if you don't like where I'm going with this. Twilight (The RPer) doesn't want Twilight to get off the planet and escape to who knows where; hence, as one of the few antagonists, I'm trying to make it difficult for them.)

Gellion's ship took some direct hits before the "arrow head" shell materialized over it. Some of the drones that Gellion had launched scattered themselves all about Faulias's and Gellion ship; a few were rather close to the particle gun as it was about to fire, several others were pitting themselves between the two ships in what looked to be a circular formation. All these little drones took their position a split second before the canon fired and hummed with a rapid, pulsing glow.

The ray bent when it passed through the formation; not by much and it was barely noticeable, but it did bend. This caused the ray to partially skim over the arrow head shell. The force was enough to push the ship downwards a bit, and seemed to actually break the shell, causing it to dematerialize. However, the hull of the ship was only grazed, though it did buckle against the rubble underneath it.

The ship then began to take evasive maneuvers

The building that the ray struck partially crumbled, and while there wasn't anyone inside, parts of its wall crumbled over a group of GFed soldiers attempting to get to the scene. Their cried were noticed, and to some of the soldiers, it looked as though Faulias had aimed 'poorly.' The soldiers in the area were beginning to have second thoughts about not shooting Faulias; or at least apprehending him.

At the moment, with all the GFeds soldiers coming in to assist the situation, there would be soon a lot guns trains on him and his comrades - acquainted or not. Running into the midst of the buildings while the chaos was still ripe seemed like a lucrative option at the moment.

That, and another set of Adam's shot went through a similar cluster of drones. These shots seemed to bend even more than Faulias's; and one of them went towards Faulias's ship's general direction.

(OOC: Yeah yeah, I know)

"Very well, you've got my interest."

"Great!" the Grey Fox replied with a big smile on her face. "Well then, carry on. Keep doing what you were doing, but at the appropriate moment bring Twilight to me. I'll be keeping an eye on you, and I'll be in touch."

With that, the assassin nodded at her companion, and both of them left the warehouse, leaving Wight to contemplate his course of action.

............................

"Well, that was disappointing," Grace said as they were back in the car. She tossed her coat in the back seat and threw her baseball cap back on, no longer Grey Fox for the time being.

"Whaddya mean, that was disappointing?" Rex asked. "You got exactly what you wanted. I mean, you got him to say yes, at least. Who knows if he actually does it."

"It was too damn easy. I wanted to have a little more fun with him." She let out a heavy sigh. "I didn't even get to play my best card."

"And that card is..."

"Mutually assured destruction." She noticed the look on Rex's face, and knew his question probably even before he did. "Yeah, it's exactly what it sounds like," she said. "I've got a couple little twists I use now and then, but the basic idea's always the same. Pull over right here."

Rex pulled the car up to a curb in front of an imposing glass office building. "Where you going?" he asked as Grace started to get out.

"Just what I said I was gonna do. I'm gonna keep an eye on him. Head on back to the room, I'll meet you there after a while." She shut the car door and was off, seamlessly melting into the crowd. Now she'd gone invisible.

Metaphorically speaking, since she didn't actually have a cloaking device on her at the moment.

Rex headed off back to the motel. He knew she knew what she was doing, even if it looked like she was just making it up as she went along. But that didn't mean he didn't think she'd gone completely batshit.

............................

"Your division has a clear interest in this operation, but before I can answer any of your questions, I must know what that interest is. I have a superior in higher areas than you, and am under normal circumstances not allowed to speak of this. I hope you understand."

"Well, likewise I can only tell you so much," Donovan replied, appreciative that Harris had reconsidered. "You basically have these two groups of people inside Section 6. One group is interested in Twilight specifically, and the other interested in the Ing in general. Their motivations vary, ranging from pure scientific curiosity to the desire to confront a perceived threat. It's actually pretty complicated. A lot of politics and conflicting agendas and clashing egos. Suffice to say, there's way too many angles involved here at too many levels in the agency for us to have one clear "Twilight policy," for lack of a better term."

Donovan paused to take a bite out of his sandwich, washing it down with a diet soda. The food here was actually pretty good. Now, the cafeteria at Naval Intelligence headquarters was legendary for being awful. Even the fleet admirals talked about how bad it was. It made him thankful that his own division didn't skim on the culinary budget.

"But look," he continued, "the important thing is that as long as I'm here, your interests are my interests. Those people back at the agency, they've got their own interests, which are totally irrelevant to you and me, so I'm not here to interfere. Yes, they sent me here to aid in Twilight's capture, but once that happens, you can keep him. All we want for our trouble is access to the data. I'll let the desk jockeys argue over what to do with it."

What Donovan left out was, "or else Director Quinn will take whatever incriminating evidence he can and use it against you at some point," which probably wouldn't have helped his cause any. Then again, that was probably implied anyway. Director Quinn did have quite the reputation for behaving in such Machiavellian ways.

"Now then, about those AI... one of them calls himself Gate, and has already had Federation agents following him for some time. Right now, it appears that his presence here is entirely coincidental. So far, it seems like another division has a handle on things as far as he goes. It's the other one I'm worried about.

"His name is Adam Malkovich. Captain Adam Malkovich. He used to be human. As a matter of fact, he was one of the most decorated officers the Marine Corps has ever produced. Killed in action. His platoon was on a mission to attack a Pirate installation... I don't know all the details but only one of them made it out alive. He was buried a hero, but not before his memories were uploaded into a computer. The intention was to create a highly sophisticated military AI, using the knowledge and experience of a military mind. What they ended up doing was essentially resurrect one of the greatest commanders the Federation has ever seen into the digital world.

"And oh by the way," Donovan said, crumpling up his sandwich wrapper and tossing it in the nearest wastebasket, "that one surviving member of Malkovich's platoon? Her name was Samus Aran. He was her mentor. Taught her everything she knows. And that is why we have to stop him now."

Faulias didn't have time to redirect his ship's course before Adam's deflected shot came and impacted his hull. The shot tore through his rightmost engine, sending the craft inevitably to the ground in an spiraling motion, Faulias unable to keep up with its motions enough to give it a softer landing.

"God damn it..." he grunted. "Ship's crippled... so am I... gotta keep going... gotta keep... going." He knelt on the ground, placing his hand on his knee for support. He was losing energy, and in some places blood, and he wouldn't be able to keep up his demeanor of intimidation for much longer.

More likely than not, he was going to be captured, or worse.

OOC: The beam wasn't meant to be THAT strong o.o; oh well.
If I seem to be slacking next time, prod me on MSN/AIM.

Twilight was honestly surprised by the amount of energy he had gathered from the light core, the intense light radiation showering the warehouse blinding him completely and the large mass of energy itself made him unable to sense anything else in the area. And at the same time, his arm was being 'burnt' by the very same energy. Though a creature of both light and dark, which made him resistant to both forms of energy, the sheer amount of pure light energy surrounding his arm overwhelmed him and penetrated it, essentially destroying the dark energy.

Once the energy ran out and the beam disipated, Twilight saw how much of an overkill the attack had been as the warehouse was in shambles, and it had apparently hurt Faulias too out of the sheer pressure forced out the sides of the beam, probably due to its condensed nature. Atleast the man appeared to have taken the blow without too many injuries. They would atleast not have to worry about Gellion anymore, or thats what he thought.

Twilights right arm hang limply, with the armor plating covering it being blackened and damaged from the light beam and all purple colors gone from the 'skin' which covered parts of it, especially the claw-like hand, now being a near glowing white. 'Damn... The beam disrupted the balance in my arm... I can't move it well as it is right now.' Twilight thought as he looked down at it, but when he looked up once again he got to see something which really surprised him. "Hss! Impossible!" Twilight said aloud as he saw the form of Gellion appear from the dust which the beam had kicked up and created from the warehouses destruction.

"Die!"

The word Gellion spoke made Twilight suddenly aware of the immidiate danger, though he was expecting the 'man' to attack himself and as such was not ready at all when the wall behind him exploded in a shower of intense heat and metal and concrete debris which threw the Ing forward. With a low drawn out hiss which might as well have been a cuss Twilight slowly got up on his feet, only using his left arm as support. What might be noticable to those standing near him was how the armor on his entire back-side was glowing red for a few seconds. 'That burns...'

Before Twilight could do anything however a shot of energy sizzled over Gellions head, shortly followed by a "hello" from the person Twilight recognized as Jenosa. What was up with all these people appearing out of nowhere? First Faulias, who had apparently turned on the G-Feds to aid him, then Adam out of all 'people', and now Jenosa joined into the fray. Twilight honestly wasn't sure wheter he should be thankfull or be angry, since they now risked more than just their positions with the Galactic Federation to help him now, it was a mixed emotion. On one hand he was glad to know that there was people who didn't think of him as the same as the other Ing, but he considered this his own problem, not to mention this Gellion person seemed very powerful. This would be troublesome.


Even as the regular G-Fed soldiers surrounding the area was hesitant to act, there was those who were not. As Faulias held the rank and file G-Fed troops back with his sheer precense, a few had moved made their move and one such was now just a short distance behind the armored man. With the sound of something powering up behind Faulias the man's suit might pick up the low phazon signature which the troopers PED was giving off. "Faulias Khayorn, you are under arrest for violation of orders, breeching of contract and helping the criminal Twilight. Surrender and you will be given a fair trial." The man said as he trailed his super charged high-caliber weapon at Faulias back, ready to shoot should the man not comply.

At the same time, the rest of the elite PED troopers were surrounding the ruined warehouse.


'This is bad... I'm not sure how long I can hold PED troopers off, and Jenosa has no protection against the radiation...' Twilight thought, having felt their precense as they activated the hypermode of their suits. Looking about, Twilight noticed how Adam's.. Device... Was still hovering nearby, keeping to a safe corner of the warehouse. He must have reached the area somehow, one of the ships fighting nearby might even be his. 'Maybe he can help them... Its my best shot right now.' Twilight thought as he looked around once more before turning to Adam's device. "You need to get them out of here, I will draw their attention away-" Twilight began as he turned toward Gellion. "Even if I have to force them to. I'm counting on you!" He yelled as he charged straight for Gellion, his right arm shining brightly as he once again charged it with light energy, not nearly as much as before, however this time he intended to let Gellion have a taste of it point-blank.

Wight was honestly surprised by how easily it had been to fool the Fox he'd agree to her terms, however that also made it all the more suspicious. Perhaps she saw through his act and was just trying to make a gettaway without having to resort to fighting, which would no doubt end with atleast her companion dead even if she managed to bring him down. But at the same time, perhaps she had no actual motives for what she did and instead were just 'having fun' with causing disruptions in this operation. There was so little to go on yet she managed to cause so many questions... Really, there was no way to tell what she was truly thinking, no wonder she was so legendary and yet to be caught. Of course, he had the opportunity, but he didn't feel like taking his chances with someone of such high renown when they had chosen the battleground.

Wight just shrugged mentally as he walked out the warehouse, activating his cloaking device and disappeared into the city, activating his comm-unit again while changing the frequency. "Command, what is our status?" He asked, recieving a reply on the same channel in just a few seconds. ["Target has been located, and is now being engaged by Commander Gellion and the PED Elite, there has been unexpected complications but we have little detail on it so far, sending coordinates now."] "Roger, Command." Wight replied as the coordinates of the now ruined warehouse appeared on his HUD. With his stealth field still active Wight began to move with haste toward the battle. He briefly wondered if the Fox had meant what she said about keeping her eyes on him, though he doubted she would be able to follow him now, his suit had some of the most advanced stealth technology ever developed by the Galactic Federation, and his own stealth training helped him to not disturb the environment much if at all as he moved through it.

Dr. Harris sat quietly and listened to Donovan as the man explained his, and his divisions, intentions in comming there. And though he was more than happy to hear that they had no intention of taking over the operation or his 'price', he was still feeling more than a little suspicious toward the man. Though one could hardly blame him, Section 6 was not known for being a nice bunch, rather they were known as being very effective at what they did. Despite these suspicions however Dr. Harris kept a straight face while he nodded appreciatively toward the end, though sensing there was something Donovan was not telling him. The scientist just let it go for now, no use dwelling on it.

Donovan only paused briefly however before he brought up the topic of the so called 'AI', something which Harris was greatly interested in knowing more of right now. And as the agent began to speak of Gate, Harris remembered reading a few files on this presumed 'man', though the information which had been accessible to him at the time was brief and not very clear. Wheter there was anything more on the man now, it was probably heavily classified. However when Donovan told him of Adam Malkovich, Harris eyes visibly widened and he took on what was probably the first truly surprised reaction, or actual reaction at all, since Donovan had come there.

Harris had read a lot of the data that was available on everything related to Samus Aran, and the people around her, and as such had read about Adam Malkovich as well. It was not because he was a fan of hers, quite the opposite infact, as she had been the one responsible for the destruction of the BSL Space Station and thus preventing his (among others) attempts at researching the so called 'X-Parasites'. To now hear that Adam Malkovich was alive in the form of a super AI... Was more than a little surprising for the man.

"I see... So then, what did you have in mind for stopping this... AI..." Harris responded, he was more than a little shaken at the news which had now been brought to him.
