Re: The Imperial Bunker

[Aomi]

Aomi was still hovering and looking around to see the damage. Not that she actually minded: she wasn't one to repair things, she was one to blow them up instead. She heard the Intelligence Department Captain ordering her to follow and obey a mere officer, and didn't show her disappointment, because she wasn't a leader anyway.
Thinking Hazama-sama doesn't consider Aomi more than some officer?, she just answered mindlessly: "Aomi understands. Aomi will follow Jeanne and retrieve First Lieutenant Yayoi.".
However, just after she talked her head tilted briefly to her side, showing some kind of headache... which was completely absurd because Aomi never had anything of that sort... Hazama and Relius could notice the effects of the brainwash were starting to fade, but would any of them care?

[Jeanne Talbot]

Jeanne grumbled, then shrugged it off and headed towards where Jin and Tsubaki went.
Somehow she didn´t feel like Aomi and E´thale were going to be so much of a help to her... once she got into her chase instinct, they probably couldn´t keep up all that easily.
Aside from that, there was no telling if they were still in the building by this point. She didn´t think it was possible, but Jin´s abilities were fearsome enough.
Still, she walked towards the closed off door, kicking it firmly, three times over, till it gave way and headed down the path they went.
"If you want to follow me, you two, you´re going to have to keep up. Keep that in mi- in your RAM or whatever."

[E'thale the Tainted]

Well it worked out just the way that he hoped, the chance to hunt someone of a major threat to the NOL's plans, not that it really had anything to do with an obsolete model as himself; he was simply in this for the chase...ultimately this would be something that he would be able to grasp, to test his mettle again; hopefully to experience something...this taint had given him something and of that he was sure that it was something his body would never forget. With the fact that Aomi was along, it merely meant that he could ensure her continued functionality, should it be called into question. With Jin Kisaragi, he had no doubt that it would come to pass and that was something that he would not allow if he was functional. He hadn't even certain of this whole thing, what was drawing his body and mind to such a defense without any knowledge.

Her simply being as 'young' as she was and without the age he'd gathered was enough reason for him it seemed. "Acknowledged, Xanthos Paradom Unit parameters: accompanying NOL Representative Jeanne Talbot on capture and destroy mission; sub-directives set." though he was capable of it, the tone and readings he'd gotten from Jeanne said one thing in a stable light: she was a loner, a serious huntress. He would not get in the way lest he saw an opportunity to do so...

[Aomi]

Aomi was agitated inside, her mind feeling insulted at just about everything: Hazama placing her under a random officer's orders, and Jeanne believing she couldn't keep up, and treating her as a machine. Interiorly ranting about it, Aomi suddenly held her head between her hands, shaking from head to toe. The brainwash was fading, and people could tell Aomi would just destroy everything (and probably Jeanne first) if Hazama just left her in that state.

[Relius Clover]

It appeared that once again he was surrounded by fools. The lower ranked members of the NOL and his experiments were childishly trading thinly veiled insults and challenges between one another and Hazama was oblivious to the fact that the Omoikane Unit was dangerously close to a break down. As always, it fell to the Puppeteer to set things back in order. Snapping his fingers, he signaled Ignis who dashed in front of the Omoikane Unit and reached out to restrain her by holding the small girl's arms against her sides. Relius himself slowly advanced on her from behind, waving for Hazama to join him. "It appears that your systems are in need of an update Omoikane. Cease your struggling and I shall attend to it immediately. Hazama, if you would be so kind as to prepare Ouroboros." Clover reached out with his artificial hand, the transmutation circle beginning to glow with an azure light. On his own, he could fortify the mind conditioning program that had been put in place on the Omoikane's mind well enough for her to function without mishaps for a while. However, with the added support of hazama and his nox nyctores the process would be far more thorough and should last much longer. Since hazama was so close at hand there was no reason not to.

[Guest]

"Huh? Oh yeah right right sorry Relius...now Omoikane be a good girl and sit still this will only hurt for JUUUUST a second!"

Hazama flicked his wrist which formed a green portal of energy, Hazama's Nox Nyctores: Ouroboros emerged from the portal with its fangs jutting wide open and bite the Omoikane Unit, Hazama's Nox Nyctores can actually cause brainwashing if bitten enough and this would help keep the Omoikane in their grasps.

[E'thale the Tainted]

Spying the brainwashing of the Omoikane Unit, the elder homunculus remained inactive and eyes were lacking their usual active glow luster. The purpose being? Internal thoughts and account of recording this process, so it appeared to him that she might actually have more thoughts for herself if not periodically 'treated' in this way? Not that it wasn't curious to him, but he wasn't sure why that would even be necessary. While several of the active Murakumo Units (He knows of only Units#12 and 13 from loose reports, rumors really) didn't serve N.O.L. willingly, was this the case with Aomi? He had not been certain logically why it was necessary, but of course he made no verbal point of mentioning it.

But that was very interesting to keep in mind. 'To think that the creator needs to update her constantly to keep her underwraps and that the NOL Captain Hazama must use his Nox Nyctores to keep her mind under wraps? Highly of intrigue...' the mental note was something that excited his taint, the use of the Nox Nyctores so close to his person almost made him giddy with excitement. But there was nothing in response from his body, nothing more than the minor system update that was going on in his sub-directories as per N.O.L. tactical updates on Bounty heads that required capturing and/or incidents that might need dealing with at the moment; there were several things going on that might well require his attentions.

[Jeanne Talbot]

Jeanne´s instincts chased Jin`s scent, and one would think that everything else surrounding her would be blacked out, but she was only half an animal, so as she rushed to the door, she could still hear Hazama talking.
She heard the sound that Oroburos made, shooting out of a vortex, and within an eyeblink, she was there, rushing over at superhuman speed, getting in front of Aomi and getting hit by Oroburos chain in the arm.

"If you finally lost your minds, Hazama, Relius, just tell me. Aomi is clearly functioning the way she should. Now, i DO believe we should be on our way before the traitor gets away...!"

She didn´t know where the sudden sympathy for Aomi came from, nor did she care. Hazama and Relius were about to hurt her without haveing a reason for it, they were about to hurt THIER ally, thier creation, just for thier own twisted minds. As much as that sounded like treachery to her, she wouldn´t sleep well at night if she would let this proceed.
Without leaveing them time to argue about it, she grabbed Aomi´s wrist and headed out, in paces too quick for a human to follow, chaseing Jin´s scent, which was just as strong as ever, thanks to his very unmanly perfume.

[Aomi]

Aomi was on her knees and didn't move because she trusted her creator to extreme extent. In a moment, she was imprisoned between Ignis' arms, and the moment she saw Ouroboros, she knew what was going to happen. She remembered the "games" she played with her favourite Captain, games which were actually her training with Hazama only using his Nox Nyctores, to make her emotions fade away each time she was hit.

But right at the moment today's game was about to start, something got in the way. Opening her eyes, she saw Jeanne, the same low-ranking officer that treated her as a machine not so long ago... She didn't understand nor did she really agree, but she had no choice: the werewolf had grabbed her wrist and led her to the exit as the little blue-headed girl couldn't do anything against it, simply shaking and extended her hand towards her masters.

[E'thale the Tainted]

E'thale had quirked a brow and then activated his Schwarzvald's Reach and began to track after the two, keeping them within his view while the claw-hands dug into the terrain to keep pace. He drew up just enough speed to keep at Jeanne's back, while he took a moment to consider what her reaction could have meant, he didn't let it bother him too much since it was not of any concern right now. He looked ahead and began to let the taint build up, he had a feeling that the newly brainwashed Aomi wouldn't care, nor would Jeanne in that right, he could let loose as long as the situation called for it. 'Now this is what I call fun, it seems like this will be a wild hunt...I get to fight some more, well...and see the effects of the brainwashing, how odd...that the creator would need to do so with one of his creations? I'm an example, albeit the fact I am considering, whatever the hell's going on in my head.'

While he did know, it was of little consequence to the situation, he was just trying to focus on his chosen duties, support in this case and protecting the Omoikane Unit. He would not let harm come to her, for the simple reason that she had yet to experience the greatest 'creation' of them all; perhaps a chance to make her own choices in life down the line.

(Exuent following Aomi & Jeanne)~~~~~~~~~~>

[Relius Clover]

Without losing his trademark composure, Relius brushed off the insulting behavior of the female werewolf. She was not a member of the NOL for power nor belief in it's cause (however false it may be). She had allied herself with them solely to pursue her own hatred of the Alucard family which was satisfactory. As for the Omoikane Unit, her blind allegiance was not a life or death matter. If she did in fact defect then she could simply be killed. Turning his back to the departing trio, he decided to put his focus into far more important matters. "I have no further interest in all this. I leave things entirely in your hands Hazama."

[Guest]

Hazama snickered wildly as everybody left The Imperial Bunker, he was now all by himself and could pretty do whatever the hell he wanted to (even though he shouldn't for he could get into some trouble.) The green haired man snickered a bit as he slowly walked out of the bunker as a few low ranking officers stood before him and gave him a salute for respect.

"Captain Hazama sir!"

The man simply tilted his hat to show a sign of respect to the two as he walked out of the fortress. Then he began to wildly think of what to do to pass time.

"Hmm...let's see now....What can I do? Maybe I could try and finish off old H man!...Nah I just had a play time with him and he;s starting to get pretty boring now that the old age is hitting him....I'm definately not going after that damn cat cause he's just so god damn irritating. It will be hell trying to find the shitty vampire and the old mutt is always up her ass as well.....OH! Now I know let's see what good old Rags is doing! He's a thorn in my side and I can say to benefit everyone that without him in this world our plans will run much more smoothly!"

Hazama simply snickered.
