"Now we know about John, we wish to know more about Accelerator." Stated the American. Accelerator stared at him in shock before realizing what's happening.
"Pull it!" The American scientist yelled. The whirring sound indicated that a generator turned on, directing all the building's electricity through it, lights flicked off as the back up red lights turned on, a little dimmer. Accelerator clutched his head, clearly disoriented.
"New technology, a high energy particle radiation so powerful, it has a higher wave frequency than Gamma Rays. The Esper particle in its excited state. Supercharged, hard to redirect it's vector." The American said.
"Son of a bitch! I trusted you!"
"I'm working on that too."
"I am a Level 6, this can't continue for long before I find a way to redirect the radiation."
"This doesn't need to continue for long." The American took out a slip of paper, and read off of it. It was in Russian. "Your head raised high and your face shines like the sun. Victim of betrayal, arise and defend your faith, for you have chosen this path, persevering in the darkest years, Katyusha calls out to her love on the front, war torn Eastern Europe, our ideology shall be your savior, the partisans buried in the forest, Long live the Union."
"Stop!" Accelerator was screaming.
"Eastern Orthodox is back and tradition restored, longing, hoping, Nicholas the Second canonized as Saint, we as your followers, we shall achieve. Nuclear research, ability engineering, clones, Ukraine, Russia, a scientist named Nikolai Mikhailov. Our heart is deeper than Lake Baikal and our ambition higher than the Ural Mountains, One Who Wields the Power of God, lead us. Our holiness awaits victory and it's time to bid farewell. Not all of us shall return. And marching the trumpet calls us, we all stand in order ready to charge into the holy battle." The American finished as Accelerator's face went stone cold.
"Your orders sir." Accelerator replied in perfect Russian. Then he repeated the same phrase in normal American English.
"State your mission." That was the order.
"Stage one: To infiltrate Academy City and gather information. Stage two: Identify situation. Stage three: Eliminate threats. Stage four: Academy City is ready for the transition."
"What do you mean?"
"That needs further clearance." He replied blankly.
"Man, what the hell have you gone through." The American signed.
"Similar genetic modification and brain tissue growths. 20 operation done in Kiev, Ukraine, one final surgery and all ability training done in Moscow, Russia."
"Who are you affiliated with?"
"That needs further clearance."
"You just said a name when reading the secret code. John replied. "Nikolai Mikhailov."
"Russian scientist of Ukrainian descendant on his maternal side. Mid thirties, studied genetic engineering, quantum mechanics, particle and nuclear physics. Escaped to the west during Soviet era, recently returned to the Russian federation."
"That's not surprising at all." Shinobu "The strongest Esper alive, not a coincidence. For one who truly holds the power of God, they do not just wander aimlessly. He must also have had a memory blocker installed in order to achieve a purpose."
"Yes, along with fake personalities designed to assist with mission. Deactivated when the secret code is heard. But just like John, I am not a chemicaloid. I accepted this mission willingly." His robotic state dissipated. He pupils went back to normal. His normal personality came.
"Well then, let's continue with this mission." He smiled.
"Looks like he's still on our side despite his own little mission." Shinobu noticed.
"One Who Wields the Power of God, lead us. Our holiness awaits victory and it's time to bid farewell. Not all of us shall return. And marching the trumpet calls us, we all stand in order waiting to charge into the holy battle." The last lines of the activation code chilled everybody to the bones. One Who Wields The Power of God is a direct reference to Accelerator himself.
The question is how did the American get the secret activation code of Accelerator? Turns out the Esper particles discovered by Aritomi Haruki can be used monitor brain waves of Espers through tracing their AIM fields. The whole building has that particle emitting throughout. When the under a lower energy level it exists as particles, not waves. AIM fields are also composed of the very same particle, but have more energy, making every particle imitate its pattern. The secret code was embedded in the AIM fields. When intercepted with an antenna-like device, it can be translated into electromagnetic waves, precisely radio waves. The downside is that this practice would also place a large strain on his brain. He fainted in the afternoon, lying on a bed while research group staff took care of him. For the second time, Accelerator showed his weak side. The first time was when his ability interacted with John back in Academy City.
That afternoon:
"Mugino." John began.
"Go on, we are all awake." She answered calmly. "Despite the fact that it's 5 in the morning Tokyo Time. Any databases you want us to hack?"
"I have a name. Nikolai Mikhailov. Russian Ukrainian. Look for anyone in the area of nuclear and particle physics, quantum mechanics, and genetic engineering. A good chance he isn't on any of the databases in Academy City."
"I've hacked their system before when I worked directly in the Level 6 Shift. I remember a Russian colleague working under the name Yuri Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky." Shinobu cut in.
"Well, there was a Russian novelist, journalist, and philosopher named Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky. Yuri sounds like the name of an ice skater. I'm no professional in this but I can almost be sure that's a made up name. His middle name is also related." John answered.
"Well, I will just double check. Level 6 research is the only place his name appeared, he might just be The Nikolai Mikhailov you are looking for." Shinobu answered.
Mugino sent the results to John that afternoon. With the intent of obtaining new scientific breakthroughs, Nikolai faked his identity, Yuri, and was hired to work in the Level 6 program through underground contacts. Accelerator had his own goals too when he also wanted to infiltrate Academy, they worked together. Quite similar to John and the American Side. Except that Nikolai is actually secretly against the Russian government supporting Academy City in order to gain world hegemony. Therefore, as soon as Russian politics get dominated by his rivals, his own group of hired politicians face the danger of being persecuted under charges of treason. Just like how the Bolsheviks took over in the first revolution. This time, if the opposing factions are successful in supporting Academy City, they will have China watch it's back. If the faction of Nikolai is successful, there will be new hope. Currently the situation with the west is already more tense than ever. This emphasized the crucial role of Accelerator and John when they infiltrate.
