Welcome to Gaia! ::

She stared at him in surprise and smiled "Calise" she said with a slight curtsy as if she had a dress but even without one she still beamed at him before looking worriedly at the door. "I don't think you're an idiot... " she smile shyly and left, locking the door.

It was a little while later before the lock jingled again and the scientist entered with a box and some documents. He looked distracted as he just glanced at Zaku and placed everything down on at counter. "I would ask how is the food but I was informed you didn't eat. That was a pity "

"Who told me such a thing... you are amusing" he said with a soft snort as he moved things around, mostly away from Zaku. Finally he turned and placed the box he brought down in front of Zaku and headed back to the mechanism near to the door. Pressing a button an waiting to it to scan is thumbprint the chain loosen just enough for him to move his arms a little. "Open the box" he order with a glint of interest. "And tell me what did you think of you death? Not everyone gets to see the aftermath"

Inside the box was a bloody middle finger, still slightly warm. The scientist looked satisfied as he opened it then shrugged at his question. "It seems trillion of dollars does over ride the usefulness of some people. Poor dear Penny didn't know what hit her...at least the second and third time. " he said looking thoughtful then shook his head. "Never mind... I am sure you don't agree. " he shrugged. "Well then. You asked me for one good reason you should listen to me.... " he motioned to the box.

"Sometimes when I think you are deep you surprise me with your nativity. Do you think there is just one person...one thing that is the cause of everything?" he asked looking amused at his anger. "That you just have to kill one person and everything dies? Sometimes that works..other times...well.. As you see the Renegades can run quite well without you" he shook his head then. "The money is peanuts to some...it's just principle. " he gave another shrug and turned on the TV at the channel that was playing some type of drama.

"Haven't you ever thought what Metas are the closest to?" he asked randomly, frowning at the drama. "Magi. Magi are as versatile as metas within one element but ... " he trailed off. "They aren't really human are they. Humans are defined by their lack of magic and Magi just aren't that. "


He moved into the menu and switches around before landing on the one he wanted. On the screen Tri was hanging the same way as Zaku, wings binded against his back as he struggled and tried to hold back a look of pain as he glared at the person who was trying to stop the bleeding where his middle finger used to be.

"Very needed. You wanted one good reason to do what I say? There it is on the screen." he put the control down. "It is very simple Zaku... ask much as you think you can't be broken you can. Well... not true. You break or he does"

"Children of Gaia...huh" he repeated thoughtfully. "Yet you surround yourself only with metas...kill innocents that are not of your race for a specific goal that is ultimately replaced by those people who voted them in. Wouldn't you called yourself a hypocrite? I would" he sighed watching Zaku as if the muse wasn't giving him the reactions he wanted.

"Like him and SIU. All idealistic bullshit because at their core they are using everything to cover that they hate you, hate you for killing someone they know. As for enough... not not nearly enough" he frowned now, a flicker of anger in his eyes. "That B*** did something to make him forget his commands... everything will have to start from square one. I guess our only condolence is that she can't fight that we rightfully own him." he smirked, tapping the controller in thought. "However, his usefulness is sub par...we have better assassins better reconnaissance units. Training adults isn't always useful, they know to much they made up their mind about things and changing them is about as hard as having them change themselves..." he turned to look at Zaku. "Which is why you have to break them until everything about them is gone. " he looked toward Zaku's finger then back. "It is your choice now. What will you do?"

"Kidding? No...I just did not expect a real answer" the scientist explained as he burst out laughing. "I do like you though, you will be fun. So set in your ideology and your ways. " he was taunting him now. "Though...I disagree. You have 10 chances... he will be safe during that time. Well "Safe" "he chuckled. "I doubt you want to give me Silver's location would you? Have her here..cheering you on like when you were younger. If we only had the knowledge we have now then" he moved to pick up the box and turned it upright so Zaku could continue to see what was inside as Tri growled on screen and struggled to do something.

"Now simple things. Kneel and bow"

The scientist turned serious again as he watched the box flip dropping its contents on the floor. Silently he reached down and picked up the finger and tossed it back to Zaku. "I don't say things twice" he warned and moved back to press a button but instead of tightening the chain the chains loosen completely allowing Zaku room to move and even reach him if he wanted." Kneel" he said quietly.
