Within the halls of the now ancient but still used, Fort Leavenworth. Takemura sat at a table his hands cuffed to it in a detention cell. What reminded of his Cybernetics post being fired from Arasaka were forcibly removed from his body and replaced with artificially grown organs and flesh to make sure he couldn't try anything. The reason he was in here was because he demanded to speak with 'V', little does he know that she doesn't technically exist anymore. However eventually 'Asuna' walks into the room.

"V, it's so good to see you." Takemura says.

"My mother, V, no longer exists, but I do have her memories of you." Asuna informs him.

"What do you mean?"

"My parents Johny and V merged to create me."

"I see, so that's how the Enclave cured your problem."

"Yes, the FEV is an amazing thing."

"What?"

"Forced Evolutionary Virus. Extremely unpredictable in its base form, turning men into monsters when it was designed to create super soldiers. But with advances in research and technology we have figured out how to get the FEV to do whatever we want it to do."

"Look, I was hoping that you could do something to get me out of here."

"I'm already considering it based on what I have planned for you. However, why do you think I should just let you go?"

"Firstly, you wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for me."

"True, but that was out of self interest. Not because you actually cared about my mother."

"I can be useful when it comes to Japanese diplomacy."

"A convincing argument, but we both know fully well you will try to squirm your way back into Hanako's ranks."

"She lives?"

"Unfortunately yes, she's currently wagging Civil War against her brother for control over Japan and the Company. The USA of course supports Yorinobu."

"How come?"

"Good old Yori made a deal with the USA, abandon all interests in the Americas and America would support him."

"You can't trust him to keep up his end of the bargain."

"We don't, that's why we have Michiko under house arrest. Surprisingly she chose not to flee when she had the opportunity. Guess the girl wasn't too loyal to the NUSA after all."

"Michiko's faction would aline with the USA's goals more in my opinion. While Yorinobu would maintain stability, in theory, he could also just end up destroying everything just to spite his father."

"From what I've seen, the guy hates the Leviathan his father built and just wanted to end the madness that he saw."

"I see your point."

"Now hold still." Asuna Injects Takemura with an experimental serum that had FEV in it.

"What was that?"

"Just a little something before I decide what to do with you next."
