Chapter BGM is Prepare for War by Dragon Force
Phase Six: Expanding the Toolbox
Rear Admiral Emile Delancy of the Eurasian Federation was one of the few combined Earth Alliance admiralty who were not against coordinators in general and did not have any bias for them. In fact he would take on a young Coordinator Soldiers as a sort of combined apprentice and adopted son, teaching the young man about everything he may need to know. However sadly the Rear Admiral would be KIA during the Battle of JOSH-A thanks to the surprising addition of the Cyclops System. He was clearly one of the most honorable Alliance Admirals of the war...

Secondary Briefing Room
The Factory
August 6, CE71
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
In one of the secondary briefing and meeting rooms of the Factory a small section of the overall command council of the Peacekeeper Faction meet in the small room. The leader of the meeting was once more Jose Weaver along with several notable engineer and scientist types of the entire Faction. This group was meeting to see about improving the Faction's chances against the overwhelming might of both the Earth Alliance and ZAFT Forces. Vice Admiral Henry Gloval looked around the room to see all the most major figures of the Faction were now in the room and turned his attention to Jose.
"Mister Weaver, I do believe all of us are now here. Therefore would you like to start this meeting now," he said looking over the engineer who could only nod before taking his place at the front of the room looking over at the gathered figures.
"Very well like of all you know I am Jose Weaver, but I don't believe you all know some of my friends up here, therefore I shall introduce them one by one and what their specific specialty happens to be. First up myself like everyone knows I am majorly a ship engineer, though I do dabble into other specializations, like mobile suits and stuff like it. Next we have Doctor Alan Sheppard whose has a doctorate in Psychics, and an expert in weaponized anti-matter, he is fact the main designer behind the Lohengrin Cannons. Next up we have Miss Erica Simmons who is a noted engineer for Morgenroete and is the woman behind the entire Astray series of mobile suits. Then we have newcomer Doctor Erin Hansen who is the woman behind the miniaturized Lightwave Shields equipped on the Hyperion G-Weapons and on the Ortigia. We also have Jessica Drake here who is expert on Quantum Computers and is the creator of the Quantum Communications which all of our ships now use to keep in contact with each other. We also have another newcomer, Lieutenant Nina Purpleton who is a mobile suit engineer for the Eurasian Federation and the commander of the Tender Altair of the Operation X Raiders. Finally we have someone is not really a pure engineer Ryan Taylor who is an expert in mines and some dirty traps," Jose continued introducing the gathered people standing with him at the front of the room. He looked around to see the various people in the room were giving the group their full attention.
"To start this little combined briefing and think-tank I would like to tell about a personal project of mine that I started and with the help Doctor Hansen finished only yesterday. Allow me to introduce you all to the Medusa," he said with a large smile inputting a few commands into the controls in front of him and turned to look at the large monitor at the front of the room as it displayed a set of schematics of what at first looks to be an Alliance Drake Class Escort, and at a more through look a complete different ship.
"The Medusa is indeed the same Drake Class Escort that my work crews retrieved almost intact from the debris around the Factory. I started my planned modifications to the ship by completely rebuilding the interior of the vessel, in fact if someone who has serve on Drake Class ships a lot in the past would get hopelessly lost since I have completely redid the interior layout of the ship. Next I have rebuilt the ship's missile pods, two of them into small hangers for mobile suits each complete with their own catapults. The other two were at first going to be yet another pair of hanger pods, but with the arrival of the Ortigia and her crew to the Factory along with Dr. Hansen these pods become something entirely different. Observe," Jose explained as the monitor started to show various shots of the new ships interior which too many in the audience who have served on Drake Class ships knew to be completely different then anything they were used to. However as he finished his description an animated diagram started to be displayed on the monitor replacing the previous shown schematics on the screen. This animated diagram showed the Medusa with two enlarged pods replacing the old upper missile pods. While they were similar sized to the bottom pair they were shaped completely different. There was also something replacing the forward CIWS mount of a normal Drake Class Escort. However soon the audience's attention were drawn directly to the pods as the animation started showing them opening like a box being opened and three arm looking devices emerged before extending themselves. The forward mounted device extended itself as well, before the audience was suddenly shocked as a shield formed between the deployed devices.
"Basically the Medusa has a full 360-degree Lightwave Shield that I have code-named the Aegis Shield. It allows the ship to face off with vastly superior ships easily. Also the Medusa sports a new main beam cannon replacing its mid-ship CIWS mounted while two railgun turrets have been added to sides of the ship above the torpedo launchers which I have left pretty much alone. Any questions?" Jose finished as the animation stopped again showing various close-up schematics for various sections of the ship, before finally shutting off as he finished his speech. The audience where clearly shocked and finally Admiral Gloval himself shook off the shock before standing up from his seat.
"Yes Mister Weaver, I have a few questions for you. First who is going to command her? Secondly, how large is the mobile suit complement for the ship since those hanger pods don't look big enough for too many mobile suits? Lastly, how are you going to power the shield since a normal ship's reactor, especially a Drake Class, would not be able to power not only that shield but its extra weapons?" the experienced Admiral asked with a frown looking over at the engineer. Jose in response blinked but shrugged at his questions.
"Well my XO Joseph Drake has volunteered to command her; the mobile suit complement is actually only two machines. As for the power requirements, well I have replaced its reactor with a prototype lightweight nuclear reactor with an N-Jammer Canceler that the Operation X folks managed to...liberate from the Alliance during one of their convoy raids. With that out the way are there any further questions for me about the Medusa, before I go on?" Jose explained with a shrug while he smiled evilly as he explained the new reactor. A few members of the audience chuckled at his choice of words, while others shook their heads in shock. Admiral Gloval only shook his head at this before sitting back down. With a nod at this and the silence Jose turned his attention back to the overall audience once more.
"Alright before I call one of these fine individuals up here to speak I would like to mention that the new Sheppard Class ship the Vindicator has finally been finished as of early this morning. Like many already aware Commander Lisa Hayes has been chosen to command the new ship and has been spent the day picking her crew for the ship. For the next few days she and her new crew would be going through some training simulations to get them used to the new ship. Hopefully we can get all the bugs out before the next major operation. With this final notice out of the way do believe it is it for me," Jose mentioned looking up at Commander Hayes in the audience who smiled and nodded her head at him while the others politely clapped for her assignment. With a returning nod Jose turned to look over at the gathered engineers and scientists by him.
"Chief Simmons, Lieutenant Purpleton you two want to go next?" he asked looking at the two mobile suit engineers, who only nodded at the invitation. The two women got up from their seats, and took Jose's place who himself turned and sat down in a seat next to Dr. Hansen. Erica stepped up to the monitor controls and inputted a few commands before she took podium at the front of the briefing room.
"Thank you Jose. Now first I would like to mention that my small little mobile suit factory is fully up and running with a production rate of six mobile suits every week. While the factory at the Ame-No-Mihashira Space Station shall producing a similar amount around the same time, though we would need to direct some ships to pick-up any finished mobile suits there. The majority of those machines would be used for the defense of the station and only about one or two would be sent here. Therefore I directed the Factory staff there to produce the more advanced Astray Commandos and Cannons for us if we need them while my factory here shall produce normal M1 models unless requested to build one of the advanced models. Also I would like to report that the small Morgenroete Facility located at Copernicus City has managed to get a similar factory line done and are now producing Astrays as needed. This is in just in case we have to retreat from the Factory for any reason, and would allow us to keep a dedicated source of replacement machines if we need it. Therefore any losses we suffer can be easily taken of within days, though the main issue would be pilots," Erica Simmons reported as a few images of the mentioned mobile suit factory were displayed on the monitor as well as images from the factories from the Space Station and Copernicus City, before it went black once more. After a few moments of excited chatter from the gathered personal in the room, Erica nodded before turning to look at the former Eurasian engineer who nodded herself and took the Morgenroete engineer's spot at the podium after typing out a few of her own commands into the controls for the monitor.
"Alright folks, I like to introduce you all to the Angel," she started off as a series of schematics for a mobile suit was displayed on the monitor. A few of the audience look surprised at this but held their tongues.
"Let me give you a small history lesson about this machine. As many of you aware the Eurasia Federation started its own mobile suit project a few months ago, which ended up as the Hyperion G-Weapon. Like the original G-Weapons produced by Atlantic Federation, the Eurasian engineers started to design and build a mass production version of its prototype machine. However sadly the entire project was closed down after the Earth Alliance's Joint Armament Summit in early July, which has the Eurasian Federation starting to produce the Atlantic Federation designed Dagger series machines instead of further mass produced machine. Therefore the Angel was half-finished at the time and put in storage. Thankfully I managed to take a set of the Angel schematics with me when the Operation X Group went rouge. With the help of Chief Simmons of Morgenroete my team has started to finish the Angel, though sadly we don't think it will be ready for some time. We hope however to have a prototype unit ready in about a month or so," Lieutenant Purpleton went on explaining a bit of history to the gathered audience before her. The group of them look pretty much impressed with the new mobile suit. Jose once again stood up and stood at the side of the Eurasian Lieutenant.
"Is there any questions for Lieutenant Purpleton?" he asked looking around at the officers and major figures of the faction. However no questions were asked and Nina simply nodded before sitting down once more. Jose looked over at the group before eying Doctor Sheppard who only nodded in understanding and getting up from his own seat.
"Doctor Sheppard and I will now go over a combined project the two us have recently started. Doctor won't don't you explain?" Jose asked before returning to his seat leaving the Doctor up at the podium. The Doctor shrugged and walked up to a covered easel that sat along one side of the room, and carried it over to the podium before sitting down next to the podium.
"Thank you Jose, like he mentioned earlier I am Doctor Alan Sheppard, and I have doctorate in Physics. However before I start I would like give you all a brief overview my recent history. Like Jose mentioned I was behind the introduction of the Lohengrin Positron Cannons equipped to the Alliance's Archangel and the Orb Izumo Class ships. However while I did work for the Atlantic Federation in the past I had been hired by Morgenroete about little under three years ago. While I have worked mainly with weaponized Anti-Matter, I have also worked on a personal project of mine a new stealth system similar to the already good Mirage Colloid Cloak. With the help of Jose I have made great progress on it. Basically this new cloak is vastly superior to Mirage Colloid due to several reasons, one of most major is that unlike the mirage colloid particles can not be detected, it also does not have a set time-limit allowing this new cloak to be used different from Mirage Colloid. Though I do admit it has its own series of downsides. Any questions?" he explained throwing off the cover of his easel to show a series of diagrams and charts. One showed the weakness of a Mirage Colloid particle and as well as its strengths. Another diagram showed a representation of whole the new cloak system worked in comparison to the mirage colloid cloak. The audience looked shocked at this before a few started to talk at once before Admiral Gloval silenced them with a raised hand and pointed at the first person, who happened to be Captain Vincent Grant the commander of the Loki the only warship currently equipped with a Mirage Colloid cloak, that the Peacekeeper Faction knew of anyways.
"Doctor, you mentioned this new cloak of yours is different then Mirage Colloid Cloak. How different are we talking about here?" he asked with a frown eying the various diagrams on the easel.
"Well Captain Grant, the Mirage Colloid Cloak uses particles to cloak objects, however my cloak is quite different. For instead of spreading particles like Mirage Colloid, it acts similar to Phase Shift and is built into the frame of the object instead of spreading particles. Does that answer your question Captain?" he explained with a small smile on his face, pleased with his work. Vincent Grant only nodded but soon looked thoughtful before grinning evilly.
"One more question Doctor. Do you think you can equip the Loki and its Blitz Daggers with this new cloak of yours?" Captain Grant asked after a few moments of thought. Doctor Sheppard looked surprised before he too looked thoughtful before mumbling something under his breath and finally nodded.
"The Loki would be easy, butyour Daggers would be a bit harder to do, though I have started to see about equipping a mobile suit with it. After I am done there I can equip the Loki or any other ship with the new cloak. Anymore questions?" he explained looking at Captain who looked both pleased and not at his explanation. However no one else stood up to ask anything there the Doctor nodded before looking over at Jose to silently ask him something but Jose shook his head in disagreement. Sheppard sighed at this before turning back to the room at large.
"Very well that is all for now, I thank you all for your patience. Jose?" he said with a small bow and turned to walk back to his seat picking up his display easel as he went. Jose once more got up and walked to the podium before looking over at the audience and then along the group up front, before smiling and looking at the young man at the end who looked kind of out of place.
"Mister Taylor you want to explain your project now?" he asked the young man who looked shocked before nodding and getting up from his seat and took his place at the podium before looking around at the audience a little nervous at the various people before sighing.
"Alright everyone unlike the rest of these people up here I am not a real engineer nor do I carry a doctorate. However what I am is a sneaky son-of-bitch, as my ma used to call me. With some needed input from both Doctor Sheppard, and Mister Weaver, I started a project to help protect the Factory from further attacks. Basically I equipped a series of mines and automated gun-platforms that our main ammunition factory has been cranking out for the last few days with Mirage Colloid Cloaks and Doc Sheppard's new cloak system. This allows our defenses to be virtually undetectable by attacking enemy ships. I have also started to work on several further projects in conjunction with both Doc Sheppard and Mister Weaver but as yet we have not finished with them at all. We have also started to produce a series of Jammer Platforms that are equipped with both an N-Jammer and yet another new invention the Mirage Colloid Radar Jammer which will be seeded through the debris so we can keep the Factory hidden if we need to. That is just about it folks, any questions at all?" he asked looking around at the various people in the room that was silent as a tomb. However after a few moments of silence Captain Grant finally got up and looked over at the audience before looking up at the younger man at the podium.
"Mister Taylor, you mean to tell me you put Mirage Colloid on mines, and some sort of automated gun-platforms, not to mention using it to jam radar?" he asked eying the young man at the podium who suddenly looked confused at where this conversation was going.
"Yes it was majorly my idea. Is there any particular reason you asked that Captain Grant?" he said asking in return looking clearly confused.
"I really can not believe the Alliance engineers thought of that. They thought up the Loki and the Blitz Dagger, but they never even thought up to use Mirage Colloid elsewhere. Anyways my point Mister Taylor is that you are really a sneaky-son-of-a-bitch, your mother was right," the Captain said with a smile on his weathered face, making Taylor blush at the Captain's words, which was soon followed by laughter and applause from the group. Jose laughed himself from his position sitting next to Doctor Hansen. After several moments the laughter and clapping stopped making the room quiet once more.
"Anyways anything other questions for me?" Taylor asked still a little red in the checks from his blushing at the sheer approval of his ideas. However no one else stood up and Ryan Taylor simply nodded before leaving the podium to retake his seat. Jose shook his head before once more he retook the podium and looked around the room as well as the various scientists and engineers at the head of the briefing room's long conference table. He then looked at the last engineer, Jessica Drake with a large smile and waved her forward. The woman simply smiled back at the man and got up to take the podium herself before looking around the room.
"Hello everyone I am Jessica Drake, and I most likely would have the smallest presentation for you today. Like Jose said earlier I am reasonable for the Quantum Communication set-up equipped to our ships and mobile suits. The only thing I really need to report to you all is that finally every ship and mobile suit has finally be equipped with it. This system allows our units to talk to each other even through N-Jammer, even normal Radio jamming interference. I also like to mention that thanks to this link two ships like say the Archangel and the Dominion can link their defensive weapons together to make a larger network. Finally I like to finish this by mentioning I am currently looking into further uses of the link which hopefully shall give us some better stuff. With that out of the way thank you for listening," the blond-haired computer engineer reported before returning to her seat with another small smile aimed at Jose who only smiled back. Jessica like the rest of the Drake Family is one of Jose's biggest supporters on the Factory not counting his own personal force of techs, that has followed him since the beginning. Jose got up for most likely the final time for the meeting and retook the podium before taking out a small notecard which had some notes on it.
"That is just about it folks, but before I end this meeting I will like mention a couple more things that we are working on. The first is that we are working to equip a pair of stripped down Strike Daggers with Doctor Sheppard's new cloak, which shall take a while. Hopefully once that is done we can turn to the Blitz Daggers, and equip them like that. Secondly we have started some further research into further anti-matter based weapons. Last we shall continue to see about expanding our tool-box of abilities and surprises for our enemies. Thank you that is all folks," Jose said with a small bow towards the audience before walking up to one of his techs who entered the room through a back-door to the room. The two started to talk quietly while Admiral Gloval got up and took the podium before looking around at the gathered faces around the table.
"Alright everyone, hopefully this only the tip of the iceberg of any new abilities or tools our hard-working engineers and scientists came comes out with. However remember that no matter how fancy our weapons or abilities may be, it is only the crewman or solider behind it that really matters. I thank you all for attending this briefing and you are dismissed," the Admiral finished with a soft smile releasing the various officers and leaders gathered around the table. The group then started to get up and filter out of the room towards whatever they needed to do after this. Admiral Gloval waited till the group left before turning to look at Jose who had finished his talk with the tech and now approached him looking grave at something or another.
"So its official then Jose?" the Admiral asked gravely knowing what exactly the talk was about. Jose only sighed before looking around to see the rest of the group had left the room behind.
"Yes Admiral. We just finished decoding the message we got from one of the Clyne Faction agents still in the PLANTs, they do indeed have information on Quantum Communications and have used it to develop a wireless control network for a system similar to the Alliance's Gunbarrels," Jose reported angrily for Quantum Communications was something he had helped develop alongside Jessica Drake therefore he took personal offense to someone stealing something from him.
"Is it true that they had it for a while then Jose?" the Admiral asked with an angry frown so similar to Jose's, who only flinched at this but nodded with a sigh.
"Yes they had it for months. Therefore it couldn't be anyone from either the Orb Remnant or your own Valkyrie Faction. It has to someone with the Clyne Faction, due to them going back and forth between the PLANTs and here, or someone on my crew. That narrows things down a bit, but still that is a lot of personal," Jose reported with an angry scowl for he didn't want to believe anyone from his crew being the traitor. Gloval simply sighed before sitting heavily in one of the conference table chairs.
"Have you talked to Captain Waltfield about this?" the Admiral asked rubbing his face wearily as he looked up to see Jose taking a chair as well.
"Yes when we received that first report yesterday afternoon. He has a few ideas on who the spy could be, and is getting a jaded eye on them. I just can not believe that this is the first we have heard about something leaking out," Jose replied with a nod of his head as he leaned back in his chair and put his feet on the table something he only did when he was really worried about something or another.
"Was anyone of those possibles at the meeting just now?" the Admiral asked with a frown looking over at Jose, who blinked in surprise but shook his head in denial at the Admiral.
"No Admiral, even then I was careful and didn't allow Sheppard to say anything about his new Anti-Matter Weapon, or the other stuff he is looking at. Hopefully if there was a spy in the meeting they will only some info about Sheppard's new cloak which even then was not all of it. The only thingI am worried about being revealed is Taylor's cloaked defenses," Jose replied with a scowl on his face and made a face at the thought of something else getting leaked out. Gloval simply nodded before he flinched and wondered if he really should ask this but he really needed to know. He sighed and braced himself for the explosion.
"Jose I really hate to ask this, but is it possible that Miss Drake herself leaked it?" Gloval asked with a flinch and wasn't disappointed as Jose jumped up to his feet with his face red in anger, and was about to explode when he just sighed and his anger disappeared as if someone popped a balloon with a thin needle.
"No she was shocked as I was when that report arrived, and she was clearly angry over it as well, but I do know she is a great actress so I don't really know if its genuine. Therefore I had some trusted men watch her like a hawk just in case," Jose replied with a pained voice. Gloval simply nodded pleased that even though Jose was close to the woman that he made various arrangements to keep some eye on her just in case.
"I do think we have one or two ZAFT agents pretending to be civilians in the City-Block, they will most likely act as handlers for the spies inside our main establishment. If we can identify them perhaps we can get a lead that the spies happen to be," Jose mentioned after a few long moments of silence between the two men. Admiral Gloval simply nodded in agreement before he sighed and looked back at Jose.
"Jose I forgot to mention this before but before I arrived at this meeting I received a report from one the few agents I still have in the Alliance. As you know they managed to capture the Dreadnaught Prototype G-Weapon, however they managed to get Quantum Communication tech from its computer somehow. According to Captain Waltfield who I been talking to before the meeting, it shouldn't have that info there. So the Alliance has it too," Admiral Gloval mentioned with a frustrated sigh, not noticing Jose's face paling at it.
"That means that the Alliance also has access to DRAGOON Tech! Just great!" Jose said with a curse and took a deep breath to calm down. Gloval blinked in surprise before he waited till Jose recovered.
"Alright what in the world is this DRAGOON? For Waltfield mentioned it as well, though he didn't react as bad you did just now," the Admiral asked with a frown eying the engineer who only sighed before turning to look at the Admiral.
"DRAGOON is the system I mentioned earlier that is so similar to Gunbarrels, just wireless. Therefore if the Alliance has their hands on it they can upgrade their Gunbarrel Tech using the info they got for the DRAGOON System from the Dreadnaught. The reason Captain Waltfield was not really all that worried was that they most likely didn't have the second half of the planned DRAGOON system which is an advanced Computer System which allow a pilot who has low or no spatial awareness to control either Gunbarrel or DRAGOON Units. Not to mention there is a very small amount of people in the Alliance who can control any Wireless Gunbarrel Platform they produce. Even then it is still a very bad thing for the Alliance to have," Jose explained with an angry scowl on his face as he stared at the wall as if he could see through the entire Factory and towards the planet. Gloval simply flinched at this, but nodded anyways.
"Anyways let's now worry about this right now. Our people are most likely having a grand old time having fun. Let's go join them shall we," the Admiral said with a small smile as he got up from the chair and waved at the closed door. Jose simply snorted at but nodded in agreement for he too got up as well. The two men then made their own way out of the room and towards the City-Block to unwind from the tense conversation they just had. However even then both hoped that neither the Alliance or ZAFT managed to get any further developed tech from the Peacekeeper Faction. But for now they put that worry in the back of their minds and enjoy themselves.

/stretches/ YEAH! Here is yet another chapter for your enjoyment folks. I really hope you shall enjoy this chapter. For there a lot of good stuff here, and we find out some key details on the Faction's Research and Development. Not to mention that the Sub-Plot that I have been planning for a while has started to make an appearance here.. It was supposed to be introduced a while ago, but I got tied up with other stuff I wanted to put in. Therefore it feels good to get this done here. For this who are wondering what Sub-plot I am talking about, well that is easy. I mean the stuff about a spy in the ranks of the Peacekeeper Faction. Since there should be at least one spy in the group since it is pretty large, and many would like to sell what they knew to whoever payed them more. I am not going to mention how many spies or agents there happen to be, but I will tell you it is not that many.
Moving onto some of the more juicy bits of tech I am introducing. Yes, I am in fact introducing something similar to the one from the Stargate SG-1 series. For according to canon Mirage Colloid can be detected in Destiny. Here I am having it somewhat able to be detected during the First War. Hence the reasoning behind me introducing a new cloak system. Also being introduced, (FINALLY!) is my Aegis Shield System which covers an entire ship with a Lightwave, (Read: Beam) shield. This is something I had planned to introduce ever since my time writing Honor of a Knight, therefore I am quite excited about introducing it. I hope everyone is going to enjoy it! Another major thing being introduced is cloak-able mines and automated gun-platforms another old idea from Honor brought to life here. Granted we not going to see much of it during the story, but there is something there. I still can not believe no-one thought of slapping Mirage Colloid onto mines. /shrug/ The final major piece of tech being introduced is a new mobile suit, which we should be hopefully introduced later though should have a major role in the Destiny story for this story. Anyway that just about it for major tech introductions.
Before I leave you all with my new Omake for this chapter, I would like to mention I have finally came up with a name for the entire series. This happens to be Diverging SEED Series. Which I think is the perfect name for the series. That's all folks its time to run into the next battle, which should be the first major outnumbered battle for the Faction. Till then enjoy the Omake Folks.

In one the many alleys of the Factory's somewhat small City-block, two people met up. One a tall gentlemen with long flowing blond hair, the other a small short lady who had what looked to be dark gray hair tied into a bun above her head however her features where hidden to the blond-haired man for the woman stayed in the shadows provided by the tall walls that surrounded the alley like a protective embrace on said alley.
"What have you to report Agent P?" the woman asked in somewhat snobbish British accent that made the man flinch but hid it from the lady.
"Madam M, there is nothing to really report at all. For I believe they have caught to me therefore cutting down the info they give me. I would expect myself to captured or taken out in the matter of days," the spy reported with an ashamed tone lacing his voice. The woman simply sighed before she shook her head.
"I see. May I ask how they managed to sniff you out this fast Agent P?" the woman known to the spy as Madam M asked with a small snarl in her voice. The man simply flinched once more at this but took a deep breath and took a step back.
"Well I think it was because I had that bad lasagna the other night Madam, for it gave such gas that they could smell me all the way to the Moon perhaps," the Agent responded with a fearful twitch of his face, and a curse for he knew what was going to happen next. The woman growled low in her throat before she reached out and grabbed the man by the throat.
"You mean the lasagna that I carefully and lovely baked for you Agent P, as a reward for your last report? Which means to me and tells me as well that I am a very bad cook," the woman said with a low growl sounding voice that made the spy gulp in fear, as he tried not make himself choke with the woman grabbing his throat.
"Yes Madam, that lasagna," the spy reported with a fearful voice and wondered if this was the end for him, making him not able ever to have anymore lasagna. The woman finally sighed before letting the poor spy go.
"Very well perhaps I am a poor cook. Anyways we need to get you out here Agent P. Therefore head to this safe-house and stand-by for further orders," the woman ordered with a frown. The man sighed and only nodded before taking the piece of paper the woman was now holding out and left the alley behind him. He was now very thankful that he made it through alive and now no longer had to suck up to the people on this damn facility. With another sigh of relief he crossed the street and towards the first step of his departure from this cursed place, the place where no lasagna was ever made. It was poor murder for the poor spy.

/cross-eyes/ OKAY! I really don't know where the hell this piece of insanity came from. But I blame the All-Nighter I am writing this in, as well as all the Caffeine I have been drinking. Anyways see guys later.
EDIT (12/25/10): Sorry folks on how late this is. It was supposed to be loaded weeks ago but I just got busy writing and forgot to upload it. Therefore it shall be a good christmas present for you all. I hope you enjoy it. Also I like to announce that yes I did manage to win NaNoWriMo and I shall be posting the next two chapters in the days ahead. I really want to see about getting at least the majority of this story done before the New Year. So expect some further updates. Also I am going to join the JanNoMo or whatever it is called which has you has either starting a new story or already finishing an already started one. If you haven't guess I am going to try to see about finishing Angelic Dawn for this. With that out of the way time for me to get some sleep. Once again Merry Christmas and I shall see you all in the days ahead.
