- The Broker - The therapists kept working on his legs while one other worked on on The Broker's personal therapy. "You feeling alright?" "Far from it," replied Broker. "I'm losing everyone's trust because of this damn job and my efforts to keep this city afloat." He sighed deeply. "The city is being rebuilt but I feel like this isn't worth it in the long term." "A city in chaos or a stable city?" Broker hesitated. "I meant to me personally. I've lost someone I consider a business partner and a friend, trust from several people to me and my sister have hit an all time low, and a rebel politician is building a private army that may get violent." "You do hold the city's most powerful position by law." "The law itself didn't stop revolutions, people did, and right now their trust in me has been mixed. The only way I can start bringing back trust is by either killing Reaver, directly or indirectly, or somehow finish the construction of the entire city by 5pm." He sighed deeply, either in deep sadness or in deep exhaustion. "Jason still has full trust in me and so does Mira, Felix probably likes me and Shade may have her differences but is someone I feel comfortable confining with." He slouched his arms over the edge of the bed. "I need to finish my work here, but the next barrier will likely determine the future of this city and this seat." - The Chaser - Claudia entered the Vault in a mood, throwing the first aid kit into the wall in a fit of rage while taking her seat on the computer. Ungrateful pieces of shit. Even when she was acting out of sincerity she was still held in complete contempt. Lilly she could understand, she put Luke in a situation she had no right to, but Luke's sudden hostility didn't make sense to her. She marched herself back into the open arena and took off her coat. 'What course would you like to partake in Miss Kramer' asked the AI within the Vault. "Level 10, hit me with everything" she said, still in her fit of rage. "Miss Kramer, that is highly unrecommen--" "DO IT!" she shouted, and the AI was forced to oblige. The first wave was difficult, with Claudia taking some time to wear the robots down before dealing the appropriate blows. The second wave was more difficult, their punches were harder, their artificial stamina was higher, and she only got by with using her explosive charges. The final wave delivered some powerful punches onto her shield, before the freakish anger caused her to use her cybernetic arm to hit the cyborg, sending it flying and crushing it's face in the process. The program was long, and it's left her breathless, and yet she was still fuming. She was breathing heavily, which continued when she returned to her desk to catch her breath. "You're only causing harm to yourself dear" "And yet, when I put myself in a position of help I'm tossed aside like some fucking sick dog."

- Lupus Canis - Lupus was looking around the room as the AI was scanning the area for the broker 'uh oh' the AI said looking at one of the doors, turning back to Lupus 'he's..' " in there yes, with some one else as well, we'll stay here till he's done" Lupus said interrupting his AI, sitting on the desk he waited for the other person to leave before intruding on him

- Snowflake - “It could work, but it could backfire. What if they decide to join together and go against us instead?” Snowflake said, furrowing her brow. “I think we need to focus on something else… Like getting new recruits for our team,” she tapped the door playfully with her fingers, “Ree, let’s take a look around this town and search for any ravaging villains that might want to join our little team. If you really want to, call that bastard and tell him of this small opposition he’s going to face when they’re no longer sleeping in tents.” - La Mirage - Jade exited the apartment and walked only slightly ahead of Michael as she stepped out on the pavement. “Nah, I don’t mind. As long as I can get a wig, some coloured contact lenses and a new outfit we can walk across the city for all I care.. unless you think I can pull this off?” She looked down at her outfit with a hint of sarcasm and started walking down the street. Another question came to mind and she looked up at Michael with a smile on her face. “..we’re still on for later tonight, right? Or are we dropping it because of the date?”

- The Zap - Michael set his thumb under his chin and inder finger on his chin. And in a flamboyant voice he joked, "I don't think you could pull that off guuurl." He grinned humourously. He kept the thinking man pose on, without siting down, as she asked the question. "No, of course not, I don't plan to go home with him on the first date. I'm a gentleman of course. We'll still be on for midnight."

- Acchilleus - "I don't know. Just because someone offers pancakes and waffles, doesn't mean they'll be great on their own. It could be disappointing," replied Acchilleus as he pretended to browse the menu. His eyes flickered up. Acchilleus started scribbling something on the back of his menu. "However I feel like you're the type of person to know all about disappointment from things you invest your time, or money in. Whether it be a simple restaurant, or..." The click of the pen was heard, and Acchilleus sent the menu skidding until it stopped in front of the other diner reading the word: THE HIGH CHANCELLOR

- Kay - Kay gave a thin smile then. "I tend to go by trust. Money comes and goes, Time is something I have no control over.." "So should I trust you are not involved with this." Kay tapped the name on the menu, their tone snapping. "Considering the fight you mentioned was unlikely to have been mentioned outside that room." Kay waved to the waitress, to give a moment to think. "Ma'am could I please have the pancakes and a glass of juice thank you." She smiled eyeing Acchilleus but walking away as she had noted he did not seem quite ready. "Now if you're not with him I can deal with you. Whatever you have in mind I can probably do it but I preferably don't work blind and i'm not cheap. If you are working with him I will stand up and leave." The glass of juice was placed beside Kay and they played with the rim speaking before taking a sip. "So which path are we taking?"

- Acchilleus - "The road less travelled," replied Acchilleus as he glanced at Kay, eyeing them. They were already a person of value, they knew how The Broker worked. Acchilleus leaned closer "No, I am not working with them. However I believe you're not either. It seems we have a common enemy, and I'm sure you'd love to contribute to the safety of Heartania, if it means taking down that enemy." He continued to examine, Kay and still noticed that he could sense their metal. They seemed to be from some form of adept AI.

- The Chaser - She stared at the target, fixated on the head, she outstretched her arm and fired. One, two, three, four. Claudia kept her eyes fixed on it, and took count on where the shots hit. Two hit the head, one on the shoulder while another missed. She was improving, though arguably through the incorrect method, anger. "You're not being yourself dear, why not calm down." Claudia lowered the weapon but her tone was the same, she marched back to the workbench and tweaked with the weapon. She was working on a handgun that would help her with some tracking work, one mode for lethal slugs, one for stuns, and another as an EMP tool. With morphs, robots, and god-knows-what running around it would be wise to be prepared. She was struggling with the handling of the weapon itself, changing the modes seemed to irk it instead of being a smooth transition. Never the less she continued her work while her computer scanned for a Paige. "Maybe you should talk to him, try to figure out what is wrong?" She ignored her mother, her eyes still on weapon as she kept changing the screws material, the weight, the added on pieces that make a handgun a handgun. "Why not try having a cup of tea? Something to relax you?" No word, she looked at the monitor, the Little Mice were still searching for a Paige, though this was already taking an age. He returned to the weapon, this time looking at the EMP bullet's prototype blueprint. Needed to be more compact, and not at risk of randomly firing. "Dear, the best way to deal with your frustrations is to take it--" Not another word before Claudia turned around with the weapon on hand and fired. The bullet passed through the spirit of mother before hitting the Vault's metal door. The mother simply sighed and said "That attitude needs to go." "He won't listen to me, whatever his grievances are with Jon he's inflicting them on me. Just because of the bloodline." "You need to do something aside from hiding down here all day. It's nearly noon and you need some fresh air." Claudia kept her stare before she lowered her weapon. She was right, it was nearly lunch, and she needed to get out of the Vault before she went crazy, she needed to cool off. She placed the weapon back on the workshop, before locking the Vault and heading towards the kitchen. An sandwich should help, and maybe some time on the sunny deck to meditate. Could help. - The Broker - The therapy was going well, the physical one not the mental one. They did their duty, and by their words he can at least take ten steps before feeling pain. Not good, but enough for him to go to the alcohol cabinet and back in his office. He sighed deeply from the tiredness of it all, he thanked the two before one of them came forward. "Is there anything wrong?" One of them handed him his tablet and he looked through the files. "We've been monitoring the activity going on, it seems Acchilleus is working on something in one of the buildings caught in the riots." "Decoration, of a storage facility. Either way we'll know more about it if he turns the plumbing back on." The therapist bowed his head, though more in uncertainty. "What else is there?" "Sir...I think you should see the next slides." And the next slides he did see. It was bad enough Monica maybe siding with him, but there was something else going on. Acchilleus was likely in the same meeting with Wild Card, Reaver, and Snowflake judging by the shots. But what was worse was the next slide, very recent, it seems he has met someone else, someone whose eyes he could recognise immediately. After all, purple eyes are extremely uncommon, and unless their name was either Jake of Elwood he doubt wearing sunglasses inside a restaurant would be for the sun. Kay. He had to contain himself, he needed to think more rationally. Slight chance? Or was it part of a bigger plan? He would find out, but the evidence against Acchileus was still little, but the web was getting bigger, and it was something that he needed to stop before the city becomes a burning hole. "I'd like to be alone for a few moments if you three please." And without another work, the three of them left. He was on his own for now, nearly weeping at what he lost and the mountain he may have to climb. - Shadow Fixer - More mathematics, less mathematics, he needed to find a stable combination. It was taking Cooper's sweet time, but it was something he needed to do, not for his sake but for Jade's. He took a look at the raw numbers, the ones that he was stuck with, before taking a look at the blueprint for the bomb. There was something that would need to be replaced, but his restriction made it difficult. With little choice, he looked at the camera and said "if you want this thing to run stably, then you're going to have to bring me an ultralight-capacitor, before the signal needed to keep this thing in check isn't being generated fast enough." Would the Marshal agree to supply him with such?

- Kay - "I want him dead." Kay watched him very closely as he leaned closer feeling his breath against their skin. "However I am not stupid enough to rush in with the first person hanging it as an incentive." Kay shook their head and let out a small laugh. "That's how people get destroyed. Consumed by their vengeance. Very poetic, very messy, very basic instinct." Kay leaned their elbows on the table thinking on how this must look to other people in the diner. it was almost certainly ignored like most interactions the world over. "Still we're side skipping here. If that's how you want to establish trust i'll leave it there for now." Kay noted they would do their own homework on this man. "Now let's see on the job...What would you want me to do for the safety of Heartania? Other than help remove our mutual dislike. Do you just want to plumb me for information?"

- Marshal Maleficus - The morphs took little time in bringing Erin to the halls of the Marshal's domain. He was becoming increasingly proficient at the business of capture, now it was time to get back into his favoured art of manipulation. The hero was thrown into a cell, one which the Marshal peered into with his menacing eyes. "Wakey wakey, little butterfly... I don't want to crush your wings so soon."

- Wild Card - Wild card was sat at his desk waiting for Mr Club to arrive, knocking on the door Wild card said "come in" and the door opened "sir i was told to bring up the fiance report?" Mr Club said holding a few files in hand "yes please come in, i need to know how much of a dent Acchilliues will be taking out of the business" Wild card said gesturing him to come over, Mr Club walked around to the same side as Wild card and laid out the files and discussed in length about how much money he would be left with - Symeon - Lutte vic walked through the city as people stared at him it wasnt every day that you saw a Japanese macaque wandering through the city in a suit, his coat pocket buzzed and he pulled it out "da?... ok im on my way, see you soon" he said into the phone and carried on walking, getting to a local cafe he walked in and climbed on to a chair "Hiiii?" a waiter said confused as he looked down to the to meet his eyes with Lutte vics "is .. is this some kind of joke?... is there a camera around, somewhere?" the waiter looking around "no there is no camera, can you please take my order?" Lutte vic asked in an annoyed tone "oh you talk now too... em er sure what would you like?" the waiter asked still thinking he was on a hidden camera show, Lutte vic rolled his eyes "thank you can i have a small mocha chino and a bagel please?" he said pointing at the set menu on the wall "sure .. mocha small and bagel, do you want it toasted?" the waiter said writing it down on his note pad "erm yes one half please" Lutte vic said as the waiter wrote it down "ok ill be back with your order soon" the waiter said smiling and walking off, Lutte vic sat back and looked around at most of the people gawking at the site of him

- Butterfly - Erin's head felt like a tornado. Just spinning and spinning. His body regained motor functions and soon Erin propped himself against the wall of the cell. Once his body settled back to functioning somewhat normally only then did he see Marshal. Those menacing eyes struck some fear into Erin. The type of fear that warned you flight was the better option over fight. He examined the cage quickly, from the looks of it turning into butterflies wasn't going to help. He has to be careful with his response. "What do you want." Erin set a glower upon his face, which looked out of place in his naturally calm looking face.

- La Mirage - Jade chuckled at his response on her outfit, then grinned mischievously with a slight hint of relief in her smile. "I'm looking forward to it," she winked, "let's make ourselves beautiful."

- Acchilleus - "You can provide information. You can help protect the citizens joining me. You even have a good knowledge about technology. Those are the kind of skills, I appreciate," noted Acchilleus as he continues staring, impressed by the very human-like disguise the AI in front of him had. - Hunter & The Sheriff - "Luke, come on-" started James as Luke walked out in front of James. James barely managed to save himself from the door that slammed in front of him, as he could hear Lilly trailing behind. "Look, we need to talk about what happened back there." "It's fine," replied Luke curtly. "Look, it's not fine," said James as he rushed forward, and grabbed Luke's arm. How did I get myself caught in the middle of this shit? "How about we see if that guy I brought in-" "Custos," reminded Luke. "Yeah, Custos. Let's see if he's okay. Alright?" asked James, as he awkwardly let go of Luke's arm. "Fine," sighed Luke. "Lead the way, I guess." "Sure. Now that room has to be somewhere in this behemoth..." muttered James as he led the way, not sure where Custos was.

- Kay - Kay raised an eyebrow in an effort to show surprise. Good with technology, now who had suggested Kay as an ally to them. "Hmm then let us talk price and duration." Kay smiled as their food was placed in front of them with another bout of friendly smiles. Oh aren't we all just so quaint and pleasant today. This was when they felt the most like a machine swapping inane pleasantries was just so much redundant programming. "I'm at this time looking for a very specific price. Though i'm open to see what you have on offer."
