Omega: *She snorted lightly again at Orias's response* Agreed.....
*Mastema kept his hand on Trilla as to secure the child in her safety* Well then, I welcome all of you to the control center of the citadel. This meeting is to make everyone aware of what the current state of the citadel is, what is already planned, and to propose new ideas openly. I am already aware of some of what you all plan to present, but you should all feel free to give your ideas. *Mas would cast a slight glare to Tyr and Orias* especially those who have yet to contribute much at all..... *Mastema cleared his throat again* We will start with the current status, as said. As I am sure many of you are aware, the citadel has been subject to attacks by several parties now, and though we were victorious in each strike, the toll on the citadel as a whole is becoming rather strenuous. Each time the attackers are becoming more and more cunning with their attack styles. If we do not respond we may end up unable to repel future attacks.
*Xol would hear a contemptuous snort from Mastema* Are you asking me? You should end your antic before you get an unwanted retaliation. I already know of Draeken's decision to share his knowledge with you. You have my gratitude for the outside information. If that is all, you may go your merry way

The point of this exercise of power was to demonstrate a fundamental pillar of trust. If he pushed to hard, Mastema would never offer him true allegiance, however at the opposite end of the spectrum, if he didn't push at all he would be walked on. "I will await your decision on the matter. If, like most your decisions, this one takes too long to act upon, I will take action myself. You know how to contact me... good day."
And with that, Xol closed the vortex, a violent burst of air and energy exploding out from sudden closing. With a tilted head, he dissolved into a plume of black mist.

*Under the table, Trilla's shoes would tap together lightly every other second. It would probably go unnoticed for the time being since they were light taps. Should Trilla start tapping her shoes any harder, the sound would likely be heard. Mastema would probably notice Trilla turning her head a little, seeming distracted slightly. Her gaze was fixed in the general direction of Xol, after a few seconds though she'd turns back and carry on how she had before with light tapping shoes. Eecheb would for once, listen intently to Mastema. More or less because all of those attacks had kept the boy indoors when he wanted to play. Being unable to repel attacks didn't sound good to the boy at all, as it meant there was a possibility that he may never get to have fun if that happened. Every attack, teleported to a safe room unable to leave until things were safe. But.... what if such a thing was constant? Such reasons were the a driving force for the boy, the reason he wanted to become stronger. If an enemy could be destroyed or repelled quickly, then he would have more time to play around and do what he wanted to do. That had always been something important to him, to be able to have some good freedom. When ever there was an attack, that freedom was taken away. Nana would nod lightly, she too stayed inside durring attacks. Usually in the master bedroom, but at least once she witnessed part of a fight that took place inside of the citadel, it was brutal*
Eecheb: o__o
Trilla: <.<
Micha: . . .

*There would be acknowledgement all around the table. The attacks had made more than one of them fight multiple times. They were a little fatigued from all the constant attacks*
Understood then. Aside from that, there is only one more thing I would like to add. General Alpha Zenogais is, as of the moment, dismissed from his duty as a citadel general until he is ready to resume that duty; Alpha Zenogais will be departing the citadel in the near future.
*The comment would catch a few of the other generals off guard as they turned to their mechanical comrade*
Sho: You're leaving? o.o
Zeno: BZZT right.....
Slayer: How long will you be taking leave of us, Zenogais?
Zeno: A few days, a few weeks, a few months, or a few years...... maybe a couple decades.
*That answer certainly managed to silence a few questions. It nearly sounded likely that Zenogais would never return*
Omega: *Speaking up rather contemptuously to is predecessor model, Omega questioned Zeno* Do you even know where you're going, Alpha?
Zeno:............ No..........
*Mastema spoke his own part as well* Well I believe this entire table wishes you we--
Zeno: *Zeno took his feet off the table, slammed them rather annoyingly on the ground, and leaned forward on the table in the middle of Mastema's sentence* With all due respect, sir....... Save your blessings. *It was said with a resoundingly sharp edge* I don't need any more BZZT or hopefuls weighing down on me, certainly not from here.....
*Mastema remained silent for a moment, nodding silently to Zeno*......Very well then. *With no blessings to be given, Mastema had little more to say*
Zeno: Hmph..... sorry for the attitude, but I'm a little off right now ~_~
Than: >> Hnn..... Good luck...
Zeno: *Zeno turned to Than with a low snarl*......Thanks a lot, blue boy...... but say that again and I'll tear your throat out stare
Than: *Than halfway smiled at the response, and turned back to the table*

*Mastema had passed along to Nana, the information about Zenogais preparing to leave at a previous date. To the children the news was new, and it also meant if they were to apologize, it would have to be soon. The sudden outburst from Zenogais did however make them remember how agressive the general could be. It was likely that they wouldn't be apologizing today. It seemed that what ever was going on between Zenogais and Thanatos was continuing also*
Trilla: .__.,
Eecheb: e.e;

Zeno: *He huffed and turned back to the table* ~_~ Didn't you hear what I said a minute ago, anyway?
Than: Of course I did ^^ But I wasn't wishing you well.
Zeno: Hmm?
Than: You don't need my blessings or anything of the sort to get it..... I think you're the type who makes his own luck ^_^ *Thanatos smiled again to the bot. It was odd that he could be nice to the general after his remarks*
Zeno: Why are you so BZZTing polite? stare
Than: Well.... two reasons I guess. *He tilted his head a bit* It's part of my temperment >> I do it because I believe you'll seek your goal if it takes you a hundred decades. *He chuckled a bit at his own words* And the other reason.... well since it ticks you off a little, consider it payment for scaring me out of my chair.
Zeno: *Zeno stood silent for a moment and the following moments would be filled by his laughter. He gave Than a rather friendly slap on the shoulder and chuckled* Now that's the attitude I like about you, kid.
Than:^^;; *The slap hurt a bit, but Thanatos had a feeling that Zeno would enjoy a little genuine retort to his statements*
Zeno: Right then, *Zeno turned to Mastema and the rest* Sorry for my little interruption; I'm over it. *He snorted*
Omega: *Omega just shook her head* alpha version indeed....
*Even Mastema got a chuckle out of the scene*

*Well if anything at least the two were no longer fighting, and the tension was less than it had been before. Omega still made Nana twitch a little, she was probably remembering how Omega had chased her down a street in the citadel that one day. Now she knew the creature could speak aswell, so why didn't it say anything that day? The answer illuded Nana, but together again they were. If anything, at least she felt a little better with Mastema only one seat away. Still, Nana would try to remain her calmest, though if she really tried, the change would be noticable by all but at the very least she'd not be bothered by anything. Depending on what happened in the next few minutes, Nana would decide whether to use some of her witness trainning or not*

((Heh, whoops about the enterance part.))
O_.
Okay, well then.
There was definately something going on. The shield had shook and the air had roared. It was obvious that he may want to stay small and out of sight if he knew what was good for him.
"What a day this has been."
Cole wanders into the forest, keeping the barrier in sight while he sits down. He closes his eyes and sighs.
"What a day..."
Cole slowly lets his thoughts wander off...
In the Citadel...
It seems like Cole is sitting on the table again, eyes closed and muttering just loudly enough to be heard.
"Once upon a barren moor
There dwelt a bear, also a boar.
The bear could not bear the boar.
The boar thought the bear a bore.
At last the bear could bear no more
Of that boar that bored him on the moor,
And so one morn he bored the boar--
That boar will bore the bear no more."

::Tyrsais would simply look blankly at the Omega unit for a few minutes studying her closely before looking between Alpha and Than whom seemed completely caught up in their conversation. Clearly this wasn't the reason he was called here. Alpha's leaving wasn't that important::
I'm contributing enough Mastema I have no need to risk myself everytime your barrier is played with if you aren't willing to take the steps to stop it from happening. You sit still and you'll find I'll do much the same. If they get to far, I'll do what is expected of me. Until then I'll work on projects to deal with our "problems". Lastly as to Alpha's departure, great first order of business down... lets move on.

Zeno: Now you did it vampy. *The comment came without feeling*
*For a moment the entire table went silent, as if Tyrsais had just invited some sort of divine penace for his words. Motion would resume as Mastema's heavy glare fell upon Tyr. Even before he spoke, it was evident enough that it was more than Tyr's words that bothered him*
Actually, the next order of business I had in mind was you, Tyrsais Himura. *If Alpha's words were empty of emotion, then Mastema's sucked the hope out of everyone* You have been contributing enough? Well I can certainly attest to that in a way less than favorable to you. Himura, I am going to ask you directly: What good have you done for this citadel? As a matter of fact, when was the last time you so much as took up your sword in its defense? You believe I have been idle during the past few attacks; I tell you that is not the case. I invite you to challenge that fact against the generals, who are my witnesses to what I have been doing. *Mastema was contesting with Tyr's accusation that he had been idle, and he was simultaneously countering Tyr by telling him to say what it is that he had been doing. It seemed, however, that Mastema already knew all he wanted to know*

::Tyr scoffed reaching down to his side. He would fumble around in his pocket for a moment before throwing his PDA up on the table::
There is my research. You need to tools to get rid of your annoyances correct? Well my Hybrid Virus seems to work in all labratory tests so far, and you are probably aware that I have another test subject.
::He would look to Thanatos and lick his fangs lightly::
Hows that side of yours healing anyway?

Why do you ask....... *It hadn't occurred to Than yet that what Tyr had hit him with was a syringe*

::Tyrsais all but ignored Mastema clearly not interested in explaining any of his actions. He kept his eyes focused on Thanatos::
I'm asking because I wanted to see how well it works, and your body presented a perfect test bed for the virus. Clearly I have an antidote for you, however I am curious how you've been feeling. I needed to see just how weak a subject needed to be for it to take over... Since you were not severly injured, and I had isolated cells. In this fashion I have tested the two extremes...
::He would move his other hand to his pocket sliding a small vial filled with nanobots with special programming to eliminate any signs of the forementioned virus::

o.o !!
*At the presented information that Tyrsais had infected Thanatos with some sort of virus, Nana had become far more alert. What on earth had Tyrsais been thinking?! He had the nerve to infect Thanatos, one she thought of and cared for as a son. Such information then trailed to other things, such as her own three children. Were they also at risk? Was this virus contageous? Had Tyrsais tried something similar on them? He looked to Thanatos but that didn't mean that he was the only one who might have had something running about inside of them. Truthfully, Tyrsais had injected nanobots into Trilla earlier on durring one of his harassment sessiosn. They seemed to have disappeared shortly after though. The children didn't really know what a virus was, so they didn't know how to add any input at this time. Still, they could tell by the general feel at the table that it wasn't something good. Even as an antidote was slid across to Thanatos, Nana had shiften in appearance from surprised and shocked to something of disappointment and repressed anger at the outrage*

*Well that certainly got some people in a rut, hearing Tyr had infected Than with a virus. Mas remained quiet for the moment*
Than: NANI!? *Unfortunately Than wasn't so calm at the announcement that he was a vector for an artificial virus; he stood up rather quickly from his chair* You not only cracked my rib, but you injected me with a virus too!? I ought to have followed Proto's original idea and knocked your head off!! *Thanatos was visibly angry and loud. Seeing the vial, he grabbed it* What the hell is this then? The antidote? And how do I know this won't just make your infection worse? Hell, maybe it's because of your virus that my vision's been going on and off lately!
*Mastema shook his head to himself. Blaming the virus for his vision blackouts was expected, but Thanatos was incorrect in thinking they were the cause for it. Mastema had reviewed the medical report, and he would discuss it privately with Thanatos later*
