Midii Une, now in her early 20s, sat alone at the picnic table in the park of an L3 colony. The blonde woman viewed her surrounding area, slowly taking in the view. She saw the birds singing, the pond sitting quietly and motionless, the children playing on the swings, the old man throwing crumbs in the river even though not a single bird came to him, and other wonders.
She took a deep breath to inhale her surroundings and she bent down and put her pencil to the sketch pad that rested on the table and started to draw the park, trying to represent the pallet of emotions. She brought her head up and gasped when she saw an elderly gentleman sitting in front of her. She saw that it was the same man who had been throwing the crumbs into the pond with no luck.
"Midii Une, I presume," the Russian man stated with a weakened accent.
Midii figured that this must be Dr.Ubel. She had delved a bit into his history and discovered that he should be in his mid 50s about now.
"You've aged terribly," she thought to herself.
She cleared her throat," Correct, and you are Dr.Ubel?"
"That's me," he stated in a normal voice," and I believe you are the one who is to be the leader of the new order of OZ."
She laughed to herself. "My, you get right to the point, don't you?"
Dr.Ubel just sat there, staring at her, not sharing her amusement.
"Sorry," she began," and how are we to carry this out?"
"First let me ask you, why do you want to go through with this?" Dr. Ubel asked as sort of a test.
She flipped through her sketchbook, passing pictures of random people she sketched, pictures of dreams such as a sperm whale and a bowl of petunias hovering above a planet, and pictures of nature until she came upon a sketch of a young boy with hair petruding from the top of his head. IT was crudely drawn and thus drawn from memory.
She pointed to the picture," I am mostly doing this for him. He signifies what the Earth has taken away from me. The Earth is the creator of man and thus the creator of man's problem. The Earth created the evil ideals that caused the Federation to destroy the one I loved. The Earth created cheats like the one who sold me a false vaccine for my family."
A single tear rolled down her left cheek as she recalled the events," Zxyu killed my family. I bought a vaccine off of the black market but it was a placebo, a false vaccine that cost me money for food and led my three brothers to their death."
Dr.Ubel thought to himself for a second. He knew he was the cause of this one tiny bit of pain. "Midii, I'm sorry."
"I know why," she replied," But I'm not angry at you for testing Zxyu on the Federation city I lived in, I'm angry at Earth. They created man, and the ideals of which have tortured me throughout the years."
Dr. Ubel took into account her explanation and figured she had a good reason to be their leader. "Okay," he started," we have a facility on X-18999 and we have the soldiers."
Dr. Ubel took a moment to laught at the government, despite the whole Mariemaia incident, they still haven't stepped up security on X-18999.
"All we need is to choose whether to retest the virus to test it's potency." he finished
"We should have another trial on a human population. All we need to do is find another Russel Henderson." she replied
Dr.Ubel was impressed, she had researched Operation Meteor to it's fullest. "We think that it would be a good idea to have the trials on the primitive colony, colony P."
Colony P was the result of man's desire to use Earth wisely. To ensure expansion room for civilized men, the primitive tribes of Africa, South America, and other countries were sent to a colony. This colony was mostly forgotten and never had mention in the outside world because man now realized it's mistake. They realized it was wrong to expel them from Earth but could not bring them back.
"Excellent," Mariemaia replied
Dr.Ubel got up. He reached into his pocket and produced a note pad. He scribbled down his number and ripped out the page.
"You can reach me at this number," he said as he handed her the paper.
As he left, Mariemaia went the other way and found a nearby tree. She put down her sketch pad and lay down, staring at the sky.
A young man with wild, untamed brown hair sat down in front of a computer. His name was Heero Yuy and he had accepted a job from the Preventers in which he would "disappear". He had accepted a job on X-18999 to watch over the colony for suspicious activity.
"This is Preventer Yuy, I have noticed increased activity in the eastern quadrant of the colony near the factory areas." Heero said to the fellow Preventer on the vid-screen.
"Reasons for the increase in activity, the drug company, Pfizer, is testing out a new drug in that area. Also, they're currently building a new McDonalds and Starbucks in the area. You have permission to check into this activity if your suspicions are confirmed or you come up with proof of wrong doing." the preventer said
"Dammit," Heero cursed to himself.
He was sitting, thinking to himself when Mary jumped into his lap. Without thinking, he began petting her.
"Mary," he said as Mary lay down in his lap," I know I came here out of my own free will to be hidden from the public view......but sometimes I wish that there was a little more action here.
Meanwhile, at Pfizer, Dr.Ubel arrived in a company car and walked inside one of the buildings. He listened to the report given to him by a subordinate, the virus, Zxyu, was about ready for Operation Meteor.
