Some time later...
The room was dark, and anxiety palpable.
"They still want us to do something about it," said a voice, young and nervous.
"Research and Development says they've got nothing. They're still trying to reverse-engineer that damn sentry tank. Let's face it, gentlemen; we're not doing anything about that lot for a good long while. Better concentrate on the Commies. Them, we can beat."
"But they threatened—"
A pause, and a shuffling of seats. "Boy," said the second voice, "You've got your whole career in front of you. If you wanna keep it that way, you'll learn that there's times just to cut and run and this here's one. Project Omega is disbanded. It's time we started acting like it."
"But the President—"
"President and those damnfool senators be damned, we are not charging back in. Good enough for us that they wrote it off to the Ruskies. They won't do it a second—You, close that damn door!"
The line of light from the door narrowed, as the person responsible stepped in.
"My," he said after a moment, an old man's voice, "it is dark in here." There was a click, and the lights came on, to the curses of the men seated around the table.
"Now I don't know who the hell you are," said the second voice, now revealed as a rather fat Senator. "But that light was out for a reason, son."
The newcomer smirked a little at that. He was, indeed, old, birdlike, though more a vulture than any friendly bird, and there was an odd, glowing thing on his shoulders. He steepled his fingers, long and knobby, and looked at the room with great attention.
"Well," he said, ignoring the Senator. "You've gotten yourselves into quite a mess, gentlemen. Allow me to offer my assistance, and that of my company. I do believe we have similar…objectives."
And that is the end.
We started writing this sometime in June because it was summer vacation and we were bored. We were rather taken aback at the bulky result (60,000 plus words for a fanfic? The idea was absurd!) but we had spectacular fun writing this and even more spectacular fun posting it and seeing that you guys enjoyed it. (Let us just say that the authors have a touch of an ego problem, shall we?)
In any case, thank you, everyone. We have a few more projects in the works concerning the further adventures of RED and BLU Medics and company, but they're uh, in progress. They'll turn up here some time, though!
Farewell for now!
