"Alright, what's the problem here? What happened with Alpha 8?"

"There's no problem whatsoever with the programming or the augmentations. All the other Alpha units received the exact same data sets and augmentation modules, along with the same biochemical and skeletal-muscular alterations."

"It's his mentality, that's the problem. It's not that the augmentations, programs, or data are flawed or wrong, its that he's simply ignoring them to do what he wants to which, quite simply, is to slaughter everyone and everything in range."

"So, essentially, he's perfect."

".....From a certain point of view, yes."

"Put him in Stage 2. Now, how are the other Alpha units?"

"Alpha 1 is performing exactly as expected. As with Commander Abaddon, he's not as aggressive as the others, but he retains more of his higher brain functions and has tighter control over his urges, while maintaining his instinctive reaction times and super-sensory abilities. In terms of cybernetic functionality, he's actually performing better than expected. The synchronization rate between the central control computer and his augmented nervous system is over 250%, and his control over both electroactive polymers and nanofilament-enhanced musculature is astounding."

"And the others?"

"Not quite as well, but coming up. Alpha 2 is having some difficulty controlling his shoulder weapons, and Alphas 5-7 are still getting used to their new leg augmentations, although simulations indicate that they will be up to speed within 57 hours. Alphas 3 and 4 are performing just adequately."

"And what of the Pilot Extendeds?"

"Well, most of them have yet to see any action, except for Commander Abaddon. She, however, did manage to defeat Kira Yamato."

"That was more due to the Samyaza's Hashish blades. However, I suppose she could be considered a success, as Yamato is the Ultimate Abomination."

"Anyway, we still have high hopes for the Pilots. However, the Argonauts have actually met our hopes."

"Good. And what of production and advancement?"

"At best, we can ensure limited production in one year, maybe two. As for technological improvement, we're working on a new capacitor design along with ionization arrays. Hopefully, we can develop small arms-scale beam weapons. At worst, we'll make some improvements to standard beam weaponry."

"Hmm.....well, its probably the best we'll get. Good job gentlemen. But before we go....."

"Yes?"

"I want to meet with Alpha 8."

"Hello Arnold."

REBUTTAL: GO FUCK YOURSELF SUIT.

"No need for rudeness. I'm just here to-"

INTERJECTION: I REALLY DON'T WANT TO LISTEN TO YOU. HOW ABOUT YOU COME HERE?

"As if I'd fall for that. Now, you may not know me, but surely you can guess my position?"

HYPOTHESIS: PROBABLY THE PROGRAM BOSS

"Exactly. Now, I know from the simulations that you don't exactly like working with other people.....but what doing so could get you what you want? The chance to kill more, to imprint yourself so forcefully on the memory of your victims that the descendants of those who survive will cower at the feet of your succesors, and maybe you."

QUERY; WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?

"What if, you could work with others like yourself, to eradicate all those before you?"

"The only thing you'd have to do is listen to me."

COMMENT: OH FUCK YEAH!

"I think you convinced him sir."

"Don't be ridiculous. He convinced himself. All I did was plant the notion in his head."

"So what are we going to do with him?"

"Put him in a team with the others like him."

"And then?"

"Why, let them do their job. In the PLANTs."

"That's.....that's.......that's diabolical. You're brilliant."

"Thank you. The space monsters won't know what hit them. For a Blue and Pure World."
