The OCU Officer's eyes bored holes in the floor and he remained silent to the questions. The USN gentlemen, however, spoke up, "We wanted to make it look like he'd died during the mission. Assassinating our own men in cold blood is not USN policy, no matter how insane he is. Besides, outright killing him had been tried. He survived." The USN Officer's gaze shifted to the OCU man for a moment before he looked back at the assembled soldiers. "Moving on. We fear that it's gotten even worse. The OCU did not destroy all evidence of their super soldier program. I believe it was called The Red Emperor Project," he eyed the OCU man, who nodded and began, "...Some of the data still existed. We planned to perfect it at a later time when it was more cost feasible to run more tests. We don't know how, but Durai has made off with this data." He stopped there. The USN Officer picked up, "And on top of that, the USN has been working on new prototype wanzers. Data regarding that has also been stolen. Up until a few days ago we had considered these to be separate incidents. Then we received a message."<br/><br/>Again, the projector started to run. It displayed Durai again, in a recorded video message. The large man is standing with his arms folded, behind him are soldiers transporting high-tech looking wanzers into a building in the background. Durai is outside and trees and the sky can also be seen behind him.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Durai: "Greetings, USN and OCU pigs! Have you forgotten about me? Of course you haven't. Men as dark as me are never forgotten. Especially when you had a hand in creating me. Let me start with the OCU; I've taken the liberty of securing all of your Red Emperor data. After all, I am the only survivor. It seems fitting. Look at who helped me get it!" </blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Jericho snaps his fingers and an OCU soldier is brought it, gagged and struggling. He is shoved to his knees in front of Durai.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">OCU: "Help! Let me go, please! I did what you wanted!"<br/>Durai: "Ooohhh, tsk, tsk. That wasn't in the plan. I have to make an example of you, I'm afraid. Unless... you act like a pig for me! Haha! C'mon, act like a pig! Go piggy!"</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Seeing no other choice, the OCU soldier gets down on his hands and knees and crawls around in the mud, making oinking noises. Durai watches on, cackling madly. As the OCU soldier figures he's finished, he looks up. Straight into the barrel of Durai's pistol. One shot and he flumps over onto his side, dead. The big man leans towards the camera and grins.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Durai: "See that? Pigs die. They don't deserve to live. They're meant to be devoured by the wolves, by stronger predators like me. With the Red Emperor data I'm going to MAKE more men like me. Men already loyal to me and my cause. Men that I've hired or told about your evils."</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>He leans back again.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Durai: "It's the USN's turn now, though. Your prototype wanzer design? The one you thought was so top-secret and classified? I've got it now. I took it, erased all your data on it, and killed anyone able to reproduce it. The funny part is that all I had to do was pay some people off. It's like you're an entire nation of traitors! Don't worry though, I did you a favor and killed them afterwards. Now, I suppose you're wondering what it is I want; money? an apology? No. I want blood. Your blood. I want your cities to burn! In one week I am going to launch and attack that will show the world that the OCU and USN are nothing but pigs! Pigs waiting to be slaughtered by wolves like me and my men!"</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>With that, Durai aims his weapon at the camera and shoots it, killing the feed. The USN Officer steps forward again with a heavy sigh, "And that's it. He plans on launching his attack, wherever it's aimed, tomorrow. He was clever enough to steal top secret data from both the OCU and the USN, so we can't afford to simply wait and counter his strike. It could be exceptionally deadly, especially if he's now using both the prototypes and training super soldiers. Rather than risk civilians harm, we're sending you directly into his strong hold. Second Lieutenant Saunders will now explain the mission." The USN Officer nodded to Halle, who rose from her seat and started to limp to the front of the room. The brief pause in conversation would give those gathered a moment to consider things.
