- Hunter - Luke gazed at them, if he had seen them on the streets he would have probably thought they were normal people. Normal, with a job, a girlfriend or boyfriend. Perhaps married. He glanced back at The Broker. "I guess. That doesn't really answer the question," Luke admitted, as he gave one final glance at the prisoners, now workers. "What exactly do you need me and my sister to do?" This had been a question that was probing his mind. He noticed that when fighting Lilly, he was able to adeptly control water. Anger seemed to fuel him, and Lilly wasn't bad herself. Nevertheless, he wondered how both Lilly and him, could ever help The Broker. Though at the same time, he wasn't even sure if he had powers.

- The Broker - The Broker took a deep breath, twas some good air. "I'm going through an extremely hard time. You and I are both alike but I'm not too sure I can walk in a straight line. With the influx of work I needed some people to help me cope in terms of organisation and financials. I could do them, but not in the daily amount required. Lilly followed Alex to me, we got acquainted, to some degree, and she offered her help in exchange for security." He placed his hand on his shoulder. "She did that deal so you would be safe, and no matter how much friction there is between you two she's incredibly worried about you. So long as you are here you are safe. I'm not asking you to be a cleaner or anything, though cleaning up after your mess would be greatly appreciated, I just need you to help with some administration things and one other thing that will become clear in a little bit." He clapped his hands in a small set of realisation. "Oh, that reminds me. Come with me, I have something to show you." He jogged a little up a set of stairs and came to a door.

- Sin Shaman - The wins above the Citadel, near its very tip, were extremely volatile and unstable. Aircraft, projectiles, and winged creatures found it impossible to remain there for even a short amount of time, and they were buffeted by unnaturally strong gusts of hard wind that directed them away from the building. This gust storm was always apparent, ever since Sin-Shaman had arrived at Heartania and claimed what she could of the Citadel for herself. It stopped nosy people from poking their heads in at her garden and library, or from getting too close to Sin-Shaman's abode. This magical spell was unique, and Sin-Shaman knew that she could never replicate it - similar to the demanding conditions of the portal magic she sparingly used in the city.

- Hunter - Luke felt somewhat guilty for the harsh words he exchanged to Lilly earlier. Hearing it from a different perspective, allowed him to understand that perhaps he was wrong. Nonetheless, it didn't change his mind concerning how he desired a normal life. But something told him, that wouldn't be accomplished any time soon. Luke followed The Broker, who seemed to be going up a set of stairs and stopped when they both came to a door. "What is it?" He asked, glancing at The Broker with a curious expression.

- Lazarus - Dominic blinked, "The cause sounds good, but to be honest, between Sarah and I, we put most of the income our business gets towards our employees and our programs. I could move around some money to allocate to you. But first, Who is 'we' exactly?"

- La Mirage - He's sharp. "'We' are a group put together by the High Chancellor to get the city back up and running as quickly as possible. I'm the fund raiser, as you probably figured." Jade went dizzy for a second. Damn, I need to get some sleep.

- The Broker - Luke caught up. "You remember when I said that you and I are similar in some way? Well, like you, I'm also worried about a friend." He opened the door and entered. The room was fairly cold and clean. White with some tools and bits of metal scattered on the tables in a neat fashion. Monitors revealing specific information about the subject. The middle of the room had a body, the body of a female, blonde, and on her back, sliced open in some areas to reveal nothing but machinery and wires. The Broker took a look, and said "Kay hasn't woken up."

- Hunter - Luke was shocked, as he looked forward. Kay was on a slab, and for a split-second he feared the worst had happened. He saw that they seemed to be cut open, but for some reason, the room had a cold metallic vibe to it which screamed that the worst was inevitable. Luke glanced at The Broker. "Did you-? How did you get them here?" Luke asked, stunned as he stepped into the room, getting closer towards Kay. - Raven- Lilly was relieved to hear a voice on the other line. "My name is Lilly Jones. The Broker told me to call you, to work out details about my protection," Lilly claimed as she waited for a response. She wanted to know what kind of protection she could earn.

- The Broker - "She's fine, but there's something wrong." He pulled up a small tool, a small mirror, and placed it inside the body, allowing him to look around. "The fact that she said she'll assist us yesterday morning and not turned up set off a few warning lights. Next thing you know, she's found without no sign of what caused her to malfunction. For a while we thought the sewage found might have blocked a vital function, but after cleaning her out it was clear that something tiny has turned her off. We looked at the wires, the joints, her OS, anything that could go wrong." He took the mirror out and placed it in a small pool of alcohol. "Since you have a clear connection with her, I thought you might be able to find a way to reach to her, after all the two of you have become close over the fast few days. Besides..." the Broker headed for the exit and stopped at Luke, tapping his shoulder twice. "...don't think I noticed you and Kay's show at the laboratory." He smiled before exiting the room. Three staff members rushed towards Broker before stopping to a standstill. "Sir...there's a door we can't open up". The Broker took on a confused look. "Did you try unlocking it?" "Yes, alongside unscrewing the locks and The Pursuer took a few swings at it." The interest peaked, he needed to see this door. "Show me." And without another word, he followed the three staff members to this door they talked of.

- Hunter - Luke walked over to Kay, trying to inspect what was wrong with them, but not knowing what it was. He sighed, as he looked over to them. "I've never really done this before. Talking to you, as if you were in some sort of coma. It's weird," Luke observed as he sighed, looking away from Kay. "You know so much has changed, since I met you. I told my sister that I wanted to die, and for a long time I did. In fact you were there once. It was a long time ago, on that roof, remember? At first I wanted to kill you...Probably best I skipped that part. But you reminded me so much of Lilly. You were smart, and brave and liked getting me into trouble. But you were still different. I never liked, liked you. I mean, you're a robot and there are some things you don't know about me. But..." Luke paused, taking a moment to console himself. "But you were still my friend, and- Just- Don't be dead. Please? If there is one thing you could do left. Just please don't be dead." Luke looked over Kay, hoping to see them perhaps open their metallic eyes or show any signs of life. Or life that could be emitted by a robot. But there was nothing. Luke sighed in defeat, and left the room.

- Compound - ((Caramel you're gonna make me cry at this rate)) Compound looked over the street with Nimbus. "Not that I know of, though I'm not really familiar with this area a whole lot. Our best chance would be to just get down there and look, it seems." - Ares Warbander - Ares made his way into the Rook hospital, receiving glares that could cut through steel from almost everyone in the room. Clearly I'm not very popular here. Can't imagine why. Ignoring the glares, the muttering and the occasional deliberate attempt to interfere with his path, Ares walked through the crowd into the approximate centre of the large warehouse, seeking out somebody who looked like they were in charge. "Excuse me, are you the leader here? I've been sent here by Pathfinder to offer myself to the Rooks." - Starlass - Starlass rolled her eyes. "Who really knows with these political types? However, it does sound important, so we should probably at least find out what's going on before go and make ourselves a powerful enemy." She walked through the door, making sure that Fear and Knight were following before using her communicator to call around a taxi. The car arrived quickly, and the driver popped open the door for the three heroes. "Besides, this could be a chance to get some help in rebuilding Heartania. This new government can't possibly be worse than the old one, right?"

- The Broker - The Broker looked at the door they were showed and he inspected it carefully. Wood, some steel, standard door to one of the towers, seems normal. He attempted to open it with no such luck, before demanding a fire axe. He too a swing at it and to his surprise it yielded no damage, no scratches. He took another look. "If this is the work of magic then I'll find a way to bring Ftangr here to inspect it." He narrowed his eyes. "Odd, if that's the case then why is it present on this door alone?" He didn't dwell on it too much, but did ask that a barrier be erected to identify the door as off limits. He entered his operations room, only to find The Pursuer and the female consulting the map. The Pursuer stood to attention and said "High Chancellor, the female has some intel on the remaining Wastelanders." This caught his interest, and he approached the table. "Tell me". The woman grabbed some red pillars and fiddled with them. "When Ares was defeated by the metal armed man, he abandoned his position as clan leader. We split into two, one band lead by me, and another lead by the other. As you know my band is now in the citadel..." she began to place the red markers on the town mall, and some surrounding buildings. "...while the other band is holed up there." This worried Broker, the mall was important to the city, and it is vital that it should be reopened. He had to disperse them quickly. Absorb into his group, or face the penalties of their crimes. "If this turns out to be true then we're going to need to accelerate the recovery plan." What worried him even more was that the leader, this Ares, was dispatched by Adrian Cooper, he was still out there, and if he remembered what he did to him then the consequences may be severe. "Pursuer, I'm going to need you to escort our guests here when they arrive." "Yes sir." "And take the female with you, she can be your subordinate is she so wishes." The woman fell into thought, but ultimately accepted. "Excellent, my staff members will get you equipped for the job. In the meantime please meet our guests, Pursuer." The two left the room. The female was whisked into another room, while The Pursuer waited in the courtyard. In the distance he could see something coming.....something yellow....and public.

- Hunter - Luke continued walking out of the room, deciding it would probably be best to reside in the courtyard. As he did he saw someone who was speaking with The Broker earlier. Deciding to ignore them, he took in the view, half hoping The Broker would walk on by and see if he could do anything to help.

- Hammerfist - "Oh, yeah?" Jason asked. "Well, hi there Lilly. I'm Jason, please to speak to you! Tell me, what do you need? Broker's paying, and it's a lot, so whatever you want and I'll do it. Have you been told what I'm able to do, or do you want a run down?" Nariko set the cloaked jet down outside the city, having escaped from the jets. They had been unwilling to shoot them down iver the civilian population, giving her the time she needed to get away. "Medics, see to the injured." She bellowed, calling out to her team. The marauders had extremely effective medical staff and the best supplies money could buy, as was beggining of such a high-end group of warriors. "Steele, Hamada, fix up the jet. Some stay on watch, some rest. We need to restock." Then, orders laid out, she sat down and began to rest.

- Raven - "A run down, would be good," Lilly replied trying to keep her responses short and snappy. She found herself still in shock, how she managed to negotiate with the city's most powerful man on an odd meeting. Nonetheless, she listened on wondering what protection she could receive for both her and Luke.
