I took this down 5 minutes after uploading due to it being unfinished...sort of, anyway here's the edited verion enjoy
With the general assembly adjourned, most of the people dispersed and began to return to their rooms or train in the facilities below. Among those that returned to their rooms were Elizabeth Mably, Chiffon Fairchild and the American Pandora Roxanne Elipton.
"Why didn't they use project synchro from the start? began Roxanne.
"indeed" replied Elizabeth."just putting stigmata on one's body is strenuos enough so wouldn't increasing the compatability rate be dangerous? Look at us, due to the strain each pandora can only hold a certain number of stigmata and here they are claiming that they have a medicine that can protect against such dangers. I find that quite hard to believe. "
as the pandoras continued to discuss, a floor below them, Thomas was typing away at his laptop. Just as he reviewing some case files, a notification appeared. opening it, Thomas recieved a digital analysis of the nova. After finally getting the information from Dr. Aoi, he immediately set his AI Revealer to analyze and compare. However as it was a rather 'dumb' AI, it would take some time. Correction, A very long time. Sighing, Thomas opened the desk drawer beside him, Inside lay his pistol. Usually loaded with standard titanium semi-pierce rounds, Thomas switched his ammunition to stun rounds, knowing that the bullets would be useless against the nova. The re-armed pistol was now purely for self defense... Although, he kept a magazine of lethal rounds just in case...
Perhaps it was the fact that members of Foxtrot company were always surrounded by new weapons that they tended to develop a habit of disassembling and inspecting their gear every so often. Thomas too was no exception; although it was this pistol in particular that he tended to take apart more often than the others.
Halfway through cleaning, the door creaked open, directing his attention to the door. Fortunately, Kazuya opened it. Unfortunately, so were two other pandora: his unofficial partner Satelizer El-Bridgett and Lana Lichen-both still fighting over him. Kazuya wasn't the womanizing type yet the two still bickered over him. Sighing yet again, Thomas finished putting his pistol back together and exited the room, leaving the trio to themselves.
"Jiina!" shouted Amelia, running to her fellow e-pandora. "You volunteered for the Mark IV project! Why did you do that?!"
"oh, just that trivial thing?" replied the other "Why can't I? Does that mean that it's okay for you to be strong but not me?" "You always come up with a reason to be first; just like in the Mark III tests!"
"N-no that's not what I meant at all." Replied Amelia
Jinna relaxed and her face betrayed a smile "Although, thanks to you, the Mark III was shelved and we didn't have to experience that pain. So let me take the load this time." She added, placing her hand on Amelia's shoulder.
Satisfied, Amelia let her friend go. Hoping that Dr. Oohara's promises earlier that the Mark IV was safe wouuld be true.
In the testing lab
Jiina was strapped into one of the tables next to a pandora. As the second best e-pandora, she believed that she would be capable of handling the strain of the stigmata. She had even joked to Amelia of surpassing her as she left for the testing area.
Meanwhile, outside her view was Dr. Oohara and her team.
"Doctor, the estimated chance for success is 35%, do we still push through?" asked one of her assistants "After all,, once the stigmata surpasses 50%, her body will begin to rot.
"Yes. The chairman wants us to hurry and submit results, otherwise we will lose our funding." Replied Scarlet Oohara. facing another of her assistants, "How is the status on her vitals?"
"All normal" was the reply
"Very well, begin the trial. Start with 15%, administer Mark IV."
*Crash
Jiina's Rod smashed through the wall with ease, leaving her sparring partner, a pandora, disoriented. With a few more blows, the mock battle was over. For the first time, an e-pandora had defeated a regular pandora herby making the headlines for the news. However...
.
.
"What is the status of the subject?" asked Marks Spencer, otherwise known as the chairman of the E-pandora project
"Her status continues to fail. It seems that the stigmata are getting more active." replied one of the researchers.
"Procure two more subjects and keep her alive, even if we must turn her into a living dead." replied Spencer coldheartedly.
"un-understood." Was all the researchers could say
"Hah..hah...hah..."
"when did the convulsions begin?" asked Dr. Oohara. She was observing a rapidly deteriorating Jiina. After applying another dose of Mark IV, there was still no positive change.
"Doctor..." came a faint voice. "How long do I have to bear the pain?" asked Jiina
" Just a little while longer. We just gave you the medicine so hold on a bit longer." replied Dr. Oohara
" Doctor, just promise me that this will project will b a success..." said Jiina, smiling weakly
"Yes... I promise." replied the doctor
Three days later...
"Doctor! She's no longer aware of what's happening around her!" shouted the researcher. "It's been two hours since she lapsed into delirium... There's a zero percent chance for recovery..." He added with reluctance.
.
.
.
'I want to see my friends...'
thought Jiina as the last vestiges of her consciousness faded away bit by bit. Her body was deteriorating, and her vision was not filled with the ceiling, but of delusions of her friends, Amelia, Rattle, and so many others applauding her for succeeding. Yet, her body was no longer her's to control. As her mind faded away, she repeated only one thought.
'I want to see them.'
.
"Doctor! Her vitals are rising rapidly. The stigmata enroachment is already 85%!" said the alarmed researcher to a shocked Dr. Oohara.
"Hurry! administer the Euthanizing drugs!" she shouted
"I already have, they're not working!"
"NO!" she shouted "Jiina!"
*BANG! *CRASH
The shockwave of the explosion rippled through the facility, triggering the alarms. As the people inside began to exit their rooms, the area around the E-pandoras shuddered and shook. As they tried to find the source of the commotion, a crack appeared on the wall. As the curious girls approached, the wall gave way, exposing the source of the disturbance.
Jiina climbed out of the hole, yet she was not the same. The stigmata took over her body- leading to her novalization and loss of reason. Her fellow e-pandoras could only stare in horror as they saw what had become of their dear friend.
"THIS IS AN EMERGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT! ALL PANDORAS ARE TO REPORT TO THEIR DESIGNATED LOCATIONS! THIS IS NOT A DRILL!" blared the facilities speakers.
Thomas and Kazuya ran out of their room coincidentally meeting with Satellizer and Lana. During the intervening days, Thomas got to know the the pair a bit better due to the pandora's frequent vivits to the boys' room
"What happened Stella?" asked Kazuya.
" We've been told to standby at our positions." replied his "partner".
"no kidding, you guys go on ahead." said Thomas, putting on his armor gauntlet. "I'll go check it out. Ill radio in if anything serious comes up." he added while handing kazuya an earpiece.
"No way!" retorted Lana. We've been given our orders!"
"They said Pandoras." replied Thomas "They didn't say anything about limiters." He added as he activated his armor, revealing the black armor and compacted weapons.
"see ya." He added before rushing to the fray.
Well, I sort of powered through in half a month. So here's the new chapter for Freezing Halo.
