Mission Status: Beginning Phase 1

Allen stared at him, knowing fully well that this is difficult for Cooga especially to accept the current situation. He then approached him with the airs of a leader, "Before we start our real mission, I have one question for you Cooga. Are you with me or not?"

Cooga paused and for a while nothing was said.

All gazes were on Cooga, until a soft meow was heard. Kun appeared as if out of nowhere, and purred in between his legs. After a few figure eights, Cooga finally got the message that Kun wanted to be picked up. Once Kun was in his arms, he purred even louder, as if comforting him, and it was working. Cooga took in a few deep breaths and Kun continued to get more comfortable in Cooga's arms.

"Cooga," Allen interjected, " I won't force you to make a decision now, but you will face that crossroad again, and you will have to have your answer then."

Cooga could only manage a small nod to the head. Xing came up from behind him, and wrapped his arms around him, for extra comfort.

Allen: "Alright, Darras I want you to inform the other agents and teams to be prepared for Phase 1 but stay on stand by"

Darras: "Done." With that, he turned on his heels and headed straight back to the elevator.

Allen: Lee help Xing, and "Xing", prepare equipment and narrow down the strategies that our enemy can most likely use.

Lee: Got it. Lee gathered both Xing and Xing, and also followed after Darras before the elevator door arrived.

Allen: Aria, escort the rest of our guests to the mess hall and grab something to eat. They need all the rest that they can get.

Aria nodded and motioned for the others to go back towards the stairway. But only Cooga, Tasha, Halloweens, and Ryu stayed behind. Allen looked at all of them and gave them a knowing smile.

"I know you all want some answers, but in due time the right people will explain this whole thing to you. How it started, and how it has been, it will become clear to you in the near future." Allen explained calmly, and gently. The small group could only look down in disappointment, knowing that they wouldn't get any answers right now and the waiting game begins.
