Zoey felt her brain swell with stress after she had stopped laughing and stood at attention with Eclipse. Genesis sat upon the desk to Zoey's left. Lazard seemed to be off in deep thought as he spoke to them. He had not glanced nor looked up upon them before he started. "An unidentified group recently attacked one of Shinra's cargo ships. It was rerouted to Junon and all contact was ceased. You two are to go to the Mako cannon near Junon and search for Dr. Figaro, who had been on the ship prior to the attack. We have reason to believe that this group plans on attempting to use him, to operate the Mako cannon. He cannot do so, but we cannot risk them using the knowledge he does have." Lazard finished. Zoey was still stuck back upon Lazards third sentence. "Sir." Zoey said with a pause. "Would this happen to be… Chase Figaro?" Zoey asked numbly. Lazard finally took a look at them. "Yes. Is there going to be a problem?" He asked as if he expected it to be so. "No, Not at all sir." Zoey said screaming in the back of her mind. She felt angry, sad, murderous, amongst other things while she stood there. Various scenarios started playing their way through her head. She knew she couldn't act out or attack Chase without Genesis interfering. The first class soldiers she fought in the company training room were only low level data organized for recruitment testing. There was no chance in hell that Zoey could defeat Genesis. Talking had gone on without Zoey's notice, with herself on autopilot, she found herself following Genesis and Eclipse to the elevator. After they were inside Zoey had to split her focus between thoughts of Chase and keeping her face from not grimacing. "How do you know Nathan?" Genesis said in a way that made her think he almost didn't care. She stayed silent and thought about that response. She felt there was only one response she could give without giving away her disposition. "We're...friends." Zoey nodded inside. You can still be someone's friend and kill them, surely so. Zoey stopped her thoughts of ripping him apart for a second. If Chase was a scientist for Shinra…then that ment….he was here in this world first. Which also meant there was a reason why he didn't become anything in her world. Which also meant…that he has to, or at least had, a transporter here in this world. The back of Zoey's neck pulsed. She knew there was no way in intimidating Chase into taking her home, but perhaps she could manipulate him. That was doubtful. The elevator doors opened and the three filed out. There's just no way. Chase had purposely sent her here. Weeks before he sent her here they had a fight that came to Zoey's and Zoey's fight previously. The Two had decided to spend the day outside of the city and explore the country side of life. They had stopped on the edge of the woods somewhere beside a small creek. Zoey was standing up skipping small round shaped rocks while Chase sat upon a fallen log looking out into the distance. "Your almost eighteen Zo…Why aren't you getting out and doing anything with your life?" Chase asked Zoey seriously, while using his nickname for her. Zoey, herself paused, after her rock had no skipped and simply dived straight into the waters surface. "…I can't go anywhere. My mom needs me. The doctors say…she hardly has a year to live." "That's no excuse. You should be the best you can be. Nothing should ever hold you back from fulfilling your true potential." Chase said in a slightly forceful voice. Zoey looked over her shoulder and glared at him.

"For someone that's so smart, you sure don't know a lot then. I am not going to leave my mother to die alone. No one should suffer that fate." "Alright, even so, what are you going to do after she dies? You planned on being a military flunky did you not?" "There's nothing wrong with going into the military…"Zoey said quietly. "There is when you are wasting away your talents. You often help me with my experiments, math, and other such things. You aren't designed to be a warrior. Zoey you should become a scientist. Be the best you can be and actually use your brain and not waste it away by having a giant bullet sized hole through it." Chase said truly believing every word he said. It was almost like he practiced what he was going to say to Zoey before having the actual conversation. "When I'm in the military… I am getting out and doing something with my life.. It's what I want to do. So what if it's not using my brain to change the world like you want me to do. It's what I want….isn't that enough?" "No. Absolutely not." Chase started as he stood up, and Zoey turned to face him. "It is your duty to your country, family, and your duty as a human being to go as far in life as you can! And wasting your life away here just isn't right. Why can't you see that?"Zoey had stopped herself from remembering the rest. She absolutely hated that fight. Zoey wondered if maybe that was simply the way the people in this world was made to believe. Perhaps once Chase found out she was in soldier he would ruin her. Make sure that Nathan Xander no longer existed and would force her hand to be Zoey, a fellow scientist. Or perhaps he meant for her to die here in this world. So all traces of whatever happened to him within her world, or simply all the traces of her world would be erased from this had an uneasy feeling as she sat down in the helicopter next to Eclipse, who was rambling on. Chase had a lot of power over her right now. And there was nothing she could do about it. Nothing but run away and hope for a new day, or simply submit. She couldn't fight back without retaliation from Shinra, and she could run away, because Chase knew all her disguises and would easily be able to give her secrets away so Shinra could capture her if she ran. Zoey wished for an answer as to what to do. And little did she know. She would soon get her wish.
