The Machine [Open/Accepting]

[Ayame-Yuura]

Monica had just arrived at the temporary base that morning with a file in her hands. She got out of her limo but glanced back to see who had arrived just a little after her.

The twins stepped out with their bags in hand as two guards stood by them to protect them from potential assassins. Looking around, they suddenly spotted Monica in front of them, and their faces lightened up as they stumbled over towards her awkwardly because of the big bags. "Miss Ravenstone!" They smiled.  

[Ayame-Yuura]

"Oh, hello children", Monica said calmly as the kids stumbled towards her. She looked at the twins with their heavy bags and said to their guards, "Well don't just stand there. Are you going to let them carry those heavy bags by themselves or are you so incompetent that you can't do anything else but watch out for attackers?"

"That's ok!" Valkyrie said.
"We told them we wanted to carry them." Victor nodded in agreement.
"We are carrying precious equipment and papers." Valkyrie explained.
"We don't want to loose track of them." Victor nodded.

"I see. Leave these here with me. I need to discuss things with some other people" Damien said. He then dismissed the doctor and called Monica's office. When she didn't pick up, he sent someone to tell her to go directly to the Absolute Leader's office when she arrived.  

[Ayame-Yuura]

"If you insist. Mind if I help you?", Monica asked gently. She then got a message on her earpiece that the absolute leader wanted to see her. She sighed and said, "I'm going to the absolute leader's office. Do you two want to come with me?"


((OOC: ))  

[lil_lollypop1]

"Yes please! We want to see him!" They smiled, looking up at Monica with a big bright smile. As she walked to his office, they trailed behind with their bags still in hand.  

[Ayame-Yuura]

Monica knocked and said, "You called for me? And these two just arrived as well" She opened the door.

The twins peeked their head inside the door like curious little kittens, up at their father.  

[Eternal_PrinceOfFire]

"Ah, good. You're here" Damien said. He then saw the twins. He game them a smile and said "I'm sorry, but this is an important private matter. I need to speak to Miss Ravenstone alone". He then called for a soldier to go and watch over the twins until he was finished with what he needed to discuss. He didn't want the twins to know that the Chief General's life may be in danger.  

[lil_lollypop1]

"O-ok..." They trailed off, going with the soldier to step out of the room for a minute while the two talked.  

[Ayame-Yuura]

When the twins were escorted away by the soldiers, Monica stepped inside Damien's office, pulling her hair back. "What was it that you wanted to talk about?", she asked simply.

[Eternal_PrinceOfFire]

"It's about Jian" Damien said, then handed Monica the files. "There may be an active conspiracy going on within the leaders of our government to secretly murder the Chief General. The doctor I was speaking to today said they found a strange chemical in his bloodstream that affects the cells" the Absolute Leader said.  

[Ayame-Yuura]

Monica feared for the worst but tried not to show it on her face. It was just as Shadow had said the night before. She closed her eyes and subtly took a deep breath before saying, "Jian eats breakfast and other meals with us. Whoever could have done this to him could have easily done it to any of us. If that is the case, why just him? On second thought, if he was being poisoned well before that incident occurred and we did not find a trace of it, is it possible...?" She began to grow pale, knowing if such a trace-less poison afflicted Jian, it might as well might have been done to everyone else who dines with the absolute leader.

Damien paused for a moment. "Are you saying that we may all be infected?" he asked, a little worried himself.
