"I.. I don't know my creator anymore," Juno admitted sadly. Truth was, she couldn't go back to her creator. Dr. McCoith would never be happy with her.

Zero entered the room, although he had delayed as he had been waiting for his blue comrade. However, it appeared X was staying cautious and was going to enter later than everyone else, so he decided to wait inside. He leaned up against a nearby wall and crossed his arms. Now the waiting began. Although with the amount of Reploids present, it seemed more likely they'd be leaving soon.

Helios arrived along with Zero. Like the crimson hunter, he found no reason to say anything at the moment. Especially with half the room possibly distrustful of him. He stood away from the rest and adjusted his cloak around his neck.

Not too much time later, the door opened again.

Omicron walked into the room. He no longer had the red box, as he had no more use for it at the moment. It was just dead weight. He looked around to assess who all was here. At the same time, Hajime's words were still fresh in his mind. What did the monk mean by those words? He was becoming irritated that he couldn't get any straight-forward, honest answers out of anyone. But for now, there was nothing else he could do. As soon as they transferred locations, though, Omicron planned on going to New Hera himself to find answers. It was dangerous, but it was necessary. He walked over and stood by Helios. He didn't say anything to him. There wasn't anything to say at the moment. Not until more questions could be answered.

[Altie Gates]

RE finally walks in, coming to stand behind Takashi. She has no idea what to do, and simply stands there, observing the other hunters and their movements. She is still holding the data pad Alia handed her earlier, and tries to locate the pink armored navigator.

Signas looked as the Hunter's filled in. Alia immediately walked over to the desk, now void of a worker due to the darkening. Alia sat down at the desk and immediately began punching in commands, soon synchronizing each IT Terminal with the coordinates and signal of the Aquilo Project base. Pallatte continued looking in the canister at the sample of Ordarium while Layer walked over to Zero.

"... so, what are your thoughts on the event at hand, Zero?" Layer asked, leaning against the wall near Zero.

Axl seemed way more shifty than usual. He picked at his exposed internal structuring.

Chiba thought for a second. "Not anymore? I can only interpret so much from that... I can relate, maybe, if your creator is somebody to be ashamed of." Chiba immediately got thoughts of his third creator... one he'd rather cut all ties with.

R thought. "Well, I'll be calling Dr. S. Give him the right parts and he can fashion together any weapon in a short time... doesn't help that he's clinically insane, but, well..." R felt phantom pain in his arm as he attempted to scratch his hand which wasn't even connected. He chuckled.

Kazuo felt something odd. His neck had an odd sensation, rapid twitching. He felt as if his muscles were contracting without his consent and quickly pinched his neck. His eye started twitching and he groaned, averting his gaze from anybody else towards an empty wall. His mind raced with thoughts, thoughts he didn't bring up. Each time he passed out, when he met this 'Sigma'... his old life. He felt like crying, but... nothing happened. He found himself shivering very lightly as his mind contemplated everything and finally let it sink in. It took a week and killer war with a Hydra to make him realize...

His old life is gone forever and now he's going to war.

He almost wanted to confess his nature. If he were still human, he'd have been hyperventilating... but his lungs took in the air and exhaled the waste oddly enough. He still has lungs but... His mind almost gave him a violent shudder which he easily suppressed and he thought of one thing to stop this chaotic mess. His mission.

I'm here to kill the bastard. he thought, feeling the sensation of... bloodlust from earlier. He smirked at the thought. I don't care what happens, as long as that Maverick dies. Rationalizing murder and every sin-against-god he's done and is currently doing with a child's logic, he almost chuckled with glee and his shivers turned from sadness and fear into glee.

"My creator is gone, under the radar. For Good reason, I'll say, " she blatantly pointed out. She knew Hunter base had no record of her build or her creation date, but the Federation certainly would.

Shakahn'ti entered also, stooping low so that he could fit. Once he got past the door, he stood to his full ten-foot height, and spoke: "HUNTER. FRIEND... WHERE. IS. HE? BASE. NOT. GOOD. TO. STAY. ANYMORE?"

[OmegaMan]

Zero blinked. Helios and Omicron both looked toward the massive Reploid that had just walked in. Zero remained alert. He had not seen this Reploid before. Another possible risk. He put his arms down by his sides and stepped a little forward from the wall.

"What... the helll?" Omicron spoke in surprise. His train of thought had suddenly been interrupted by the entry of the behemoth. It was hard to tell what kind of expression Helios held. But if he had glasses, they would have fallen off and he wouldn't have noticed.

As expected, X shows up last, but doesn't go inside, still up in arms about the thought infecting his surrounding brethren with the goop still attached to him. He barely manages to take notice of the growing awareness to the large beetle reploid lumbering into the room, making it even less possible for him to want to think about entering. Having caught sight of its attempts at getting directions from Hajime in the Command Center Hallway, X was less inclined to join the flooding bandwagon, but his inability to go anywhere near a Hunter made it practically impossible for him to muster up some way of getting the rest of the entourage to understand what he witnessed before it found its way to IT.

[Altie Gates]

RE-Animated steps back fearfully. Her eyes widened at the size of the lumbering giant of a reploid. She backed up to a wall, and strangely, her hands and eyes were starting to radiate a pulsing green light...

[『ちびまる子ちゃん』正人]

"Mine is still out and about... and at large," Chiba said.

"Mine is still an idiot," R replied, still looking at his hand.

Signas saw the large warmech enter and his mind quickly raced to respond.

"Do not take any steps; explain yourself, mechanaloid," Signas responded immediately, taking a fearless step towards the larger figure.

Chiba himself immediately took his own fearless step, his backed up by his tall figure and more muscular body. Axl spun around and raised his arm, forgetting his pistols were actually lost. He grumbled and figured that fighting wasn't his best interest. R aimed his sliced arm at the large figure.

Dammit... i told you to leave, you idiot, R thought, gritting his teeth.

Layer stood behind Zero while the other two Navigators stayed where they were. Alia continued typing, powering up the terminals soundlessly.

[Darkrider]

[From Command Center Hallways.]

As Darkrider and Mikado walk in, they notice the monster sized 'roid.

Darkrider's eyes widened in surprise. Where the heck did this guy come from!?

Mikado's mouth almost dropped. "Oh, HELL-oh!" was the first thing that crossed her mind.

[Vérité]

Juno was also caught on surprise by the sudden entrance of the Mech Warrior. "Woah," she noted, not even flinching from her stance. She held her ground, and didnt bother to take any fearless step.

[Trip Dering]

Takashi caught notice of Shakahn'ti as soon as he entered, but was too slow to respond right away. Finally seeing his chance, he spoke to Shakahn'ti via his comm. link that he had established previously. "Hey, stand down, I'll speak for you. Just introduce yourself."

Shakahn'ti stopped moving, and nodded. "I. AM. SHAKAHN'TI... SHINING. WARRIOR. OF. DARKNESS... AND. FRIEND. TO. HUNTER. TAKASHI!" He then stood there, waiting for a response.

Takashi added: "He's harmless, as long as I'm nearby... I hope. Er, he shouldn't cause any trouble, and I'll have him relocated once we transport."

[『ちびまる子ちゃん』正人]

OOC: Reply.

"This mech cannot come with us. Too little is known of him and his history itself needs clarification," Signas replied immediately.

[Trip Dering]

{REPLY}

"I. NOT. GO. WITH. FRIEND? THEN. FRIEND. COME. WITH. ME?" Shakahn'ti asked Signas. Takashi interjected: "Sorry big guy, but I'm staying to help little miss newbie here." He pointed to RE. "Perhaps you need to choose your own path now."

"YES. FRIEND... I. DO. WHAT. YOU. ASK... CAN. GET. HELP. GO. OUT?"

[OmegaMan]

Zero stayed poised. He didn't blink. He wasn't sure if this behemoth was harmless or not, but it did not sound like its mind was quite all there. A more primitive model? Or maybe slightly higher than a Mechaniloid? He hoped the thing would just leave, but he was mentally prepared for a conflict if it arose. He didn't reach for his Z-Saber yet, but was prepared to.

"... Detective, do you have any thoughts on this?" Helios leaned over. His visor prohibited everyone from noticing, but he was perplexed.

"One word," Omicron said, while trying to focus. "Confusion." The blond-haired detective had no idea what was going on. "If only that Reploid didn't sound like half of his processor was missing. I don't think everyone would be as intimidated."

[White-Jet]

X stayed outside, mentally heaving a sigh of relief that no one was going to pick a fight with this behemoth simply for its size. However Signas has ordered its departure despite indications that it didn't know its way around the base. Though he didn't trust how the 'roid would far back in the city without its "FRIEND" showing him around, he also had no way of helping out, given his own dilemma and frets.

Not wanting to get in the way of the giant beetle and risk provoking a retaliation if it accidentally squashed him, and to avoid driving him mad with the substance covering his body, he quickly steps away from where the exit of the base was, trusting whoever its friend was would volunteer to take it outside.

[Vérité]

Juno continued to stare in caution, but did not feel as threatened as she did a moment ago. Rather, her mind found this large mech rather cute. She smirked just a little when he asked if his friends could go with him.

[Trip Dering]

Takashi told Shakahn'ti how to leave through his comm. link, and the large Reploid turned to leave. "I. GO. NOW... SORRY. TO. BOTHER. HUNTERS... I. GO. AND. FRIEND. MEET. LATER?"

"Yeah, later. I'll meet up with you after this mission." Takashi replied as Shakahn'ti headed out to COMMAND CENTER HALLWAYS, passing X on his way. "EXCUSE. ME. BLUE. HUNT... HU.. H... H... GAH.... MUST. LEAVE. NOW!!" Shakahn'ti shook a bit and pushed past X, moving quickly for some reason.
