Ugh... [Rick]

[Chise Nanahara]

Chise teleported into her office, hair disheveled, shirt torn. She hadn't relized how physically straining her battle with the Fader had actually been.

She was one to give credit where credit was due and personally respected Viorez a great deal, not enough to spare him his life but enough to give him a bit of a chance and to honour his request to relay the message.

She pressed the red button on her speaker and told the receptionist to get Rick as soon as possible. As she waited she made herself look more presentable, pulling her long hair into a pony-tail and changing into some spare clothes she always kept at the office.

[Viorez]

Rick slammed his laptop shut in annoyance at his summoning. "Damn child!" He said to himself getting off of his chair and rushing out of the laboratory and up the stairs not bothering with the elevator. He wanted to ware himself out a bit before facing with Chise, no need for him to go off on the one who provides funding for his research at the time.

He got to the floor and walked onto it. He pushed his way past office assistants and interns who were in his way. He pushed open the door to Chise's office and walked in without knocking. "What is it Chise im a busy man."

[Chise Nanahara]

Chise had just sat down at her desk when Rick slammed through the door, "Now, now, Rick. I'm the one that decided how busy you are, don't forget." She grinned and motioned to the squishy armchair across the desk from her, "Have a seat, I have a bit of a message."

[Viorez]

"This better be important." He said. "You disappear one night doing god knows what that could damage face to the company" He was annoyed, his task he is setting out to accomplish was being hindered by her "meeting" and he didnt like it at all. "Whats the message?" He said sitting in her lavish chair. Much more luxurious than what he was used to. He sat, awaiting his answer, his lab coat smeared with smudges from small explosions.

[Chise Nanahara]

Chise looked down at a stack of papers on her desk. Some pertaining to her missing angel and some to his missing Fader. She picking them up and shuffled through them almost purposely taking her time, "He'll be visiting you soon." She said after a couple of moments of awkward, angry silence, "Told me so himself after I tried to sedate the angel. It's really amazing how worked up he get around needles. What exactly did you do to that poor creature?" She asked in almost a joking manor. It didn't matter to her what had been happening to him at all it was more of a way to get a status report from her employee.

[Viorez]

The look of annoyance and agitation was whisked away to the sweat drenched look of fear that just glued itself to his face. "He......" he couldn't finish his sentence before shaking. "No this is to soon." He stood and back to the other side of the room and bit the joint of his cupped index finger. He turned. "What else did he say?" He couldn't begin to explain how serious this situation was.

[Chise Nanahara]

Chise tilted her head to one side, "Nothing that I can recall, I think that was it." She stood and followed him across the room to stare him in the face menacingly, "Toughen up or get out." She whispered before smiling, "Would you like anything to drink? I think I'll take some green tea myself." She walked back to her desk and placed her order with the receptionist.

[Viorez]

He looked down at her. "The needles, you asked about his thing about needles right?" He took a breath. "yea if you have scotch i'll take that. But back to the needles." He began his recollection. "When we kept him in his imprisonment we had him stuffed full of needles to keep him sedated but the only kind of sedation that can keep his power under control keeps him awake, so he knew all along what was going on. He felt all the pain and couldn't even move to do anything about it." He wiped the sweat off of his face.

[Chise Nanahara]

Chise nodded placing the newest order with the receptionist, "Bring in the strongest liquor we've got." She whispered through the speaker before looking at Rick, crossing her arms, "So through all the torches he was still awake and aware, that's so incredibly cruel." She said with a wicked grin on her face, "Go on, I'll need to know everything you do or don't expect to have a job to come back to tomorrow morning."

[Viorez]

He looked at her in surprise. Did she really just threaten his job? "Well the only thing to expect is the wrath of hell." he said. "You saw how fierce he was in fear when you pulled that needle out." He tried to sound as ominous and forbearing as possible. "Well he knows where i am obviously. There is no measuring how powerful he can be when he is pissed off. He took down an entire facility of trained soldiers and hybrids when he escaped." He sat back down on the chair. "We never could run diagnostic tests because he wouldn't let us. He can go anywhere the smallest amount of hard light touches." He stopped."The only sure fire way to keep him from fading is to run a wave of electricity directly into his body which would stun him for a few hours."

[Chise Nanahara]

Chise nodded, "You do have a file made up for him, of course?" She asked expectantly with a hinting tone. She winked at his taking her seat and motioning the he do the same thing. She expected this talk to last awhile and if he wished differently he was sadly mistaken.

[Viorez]

Rick remained silent for a moment. He knew the answer he was going to give her would not only disappoint her but possibly piss her off. "No," he said. "There are no files, the Fader project was top secret so once he escaped, we were ordered to destroy all the files and information pertaining to Viorez and the project. That meant we had to kill all the scientists who worked on it as well. Only i and three others are still alive. One of those three happens to be Viorez, who for lack of better wording, wants the other two and me dead."

[Chise Nanahara]

Ana stood up abruptly, "Are you telling me that you destroyed data without direct authorization from me? Do you understand the bind this could put me in with my boss? Did you think this would go unnoticed because if you did you were most obviously wrong." She had vented enough and thrust herself back into her chair, "Mr. Morain I suggest you tell me what exactly you were thinking so that I'll have some kind of reason to give my boss."

[Viorez]

Ricks headache was increasing he didnt want to wait for that drink any longer and Chise's griping was getting on his nerves. "That information goes above you." He said which was obviously a bad thing to state. "The orders to destroy data came directly from the head, it was a 'do now or die' kind of situation. I would think you'd understand having fought that man last night." He let slip that he might have known what she was doing on her previous adventure. He bit his lip hoping it would have gone unnoticed. He doubted it though.

[Chise Nanahara]

Chise found everything he said to be infuriating, "You're walking on thin ice Mr. Morain. She walked around her desk and opened the door, "Where are those drinks?" She shouted just as the tiny receptionist approached the door. She pushed away the tea she'd ordered and pulled at the bottle of scotch placing two shot glasses on her desk, "You're dismissed."

Unfortunately for the secretary she didn't leave fast enough to suit Miss Nanahara who teleported to the door just before the girl reached it, "Watch yourself, if you get fired you know what will happen."

No one can leave the company, it just wasn't done.
