Carmina Ordo Corporation

[umi002]

One of the many standing skyscrapers in Invictus, this building is the cover op for the Order. Through here the true Domain of the Order can be reached. The portal that is the gate to the Order's Domain is on the seventh level of the building. It happens to be the last level available to all unauthorized persons. The Order began to put its hand in every kind of research it can. Its main goal, to infuse anything and create hybrids with the powerful magic and technology. The Corporation conducts biological, pharmaceutical, weapon, and genetic experiments, being one of the few to be pioneers into breakthroughs no one can dream of. The building not only spans upwards but has an intricate system of underground labs and facilities. Those of which are of the highest authorization access. CEO of this Corporation is of course Queen Ezmera. What her plans for the Corporation are, now that the age is vastly becoming a very technological one, is unclear, but what remains clear is her hunger for domination over Invictus.

The Corporation is divided into two towers, the West Tower and the East Tower. There is an Underground Network of Labs and Research Facilities. In the West Tower which would be to the left of the main Lobby area, is the more administrative area of the Corporation. Smaller Marine Stations, General, and more private offices are here as well as the Executive Offices. In the East Tower, which is to the right of the main Lobby area, is Research and Development. In this tower there are Labs, little offices, and Marine Command, The security of the Corporation. In the Underground Network, the heavy and more secretive research is done. These Underground Facilities have Research Labs, Offices, and anything else required for such terrible research.

West Tower: Administration: Portal Elevator Corridor

Ezmera had walked through the portal dressed in a very nice business suit. She wore a skirt that reached just above the knee and a vest that covered a blouse that created a v neck down that covered her breasts gently. She held a briefcase that held a laptop and a few files. She had been humming to herself, when she stepped out of the elevator. The elevator she stepped out of was not just an elevator it was the portal to her domain. The elevator opened after getting to its destination and when she stepped out she turned to walk towards the main elevators.

West Tower: Administration: Corridors

Ezmera walked past many people as she continued down the corridor after stepping of the portal elevator. She attached the comm to her ear still walking keeping her hair down, letting wash over and under the air behind her. She was on her way to the first stop as she rounded the corner. This stop was on her round of stops that she made each day.

West Tower: Administration: Lift>Corridors

Ezmera stepped inside one of the elevators that she reached and when she was stopped inside she felt a residual energy, a partial unidentifiable scent. Someone had been here. She wondered just how far they would get. Ezmera keyed her comm to Security Command.

"This is Ezmera, I want an update now."

She waited a moment before pulling out her datapad. A pause which seemed like minutes, but were only seconds preceded the report from the one on the other end.

"Ma'am, we have footage from numerous cameras of an individual. He does not show up on any of our thermals and his movements were quick and not human. We cannot say for sure what he was looking for exactly, but his movements were caught on several cameras. I am uploading the feeds to your datapad now."

"Thank you, Marine."

She waited while the feeds were uploaded. Her desired floor had been reached and she stepped out. This had been the first bit of activity in a while. She wondered who would be playing these games. She would likely find out soon. She watched the feeds as she walked to the next set of lifts that would take her to the level that then took her to her office. She could simply wisp away to her office, but she had a business to tend to, and she loved the travel. Walking among the humans which most had no real idea who they worked for, entertained Ezmera to a degree.

West Tower: Executive Offices: Lift

Ezmera looked over the feeds and concluded nothing but recon. She had stepped off the lift as she finished watching the feeds. She would send out her spies and see what her network turned up. She passed a few scientists, soldiers, and a couple receptionists. On every floor there were multiple checkpoints especially as you got higher into the facility. She promptly passed through three on her way to the last lift that took her to the floor with her office. To board the lift however, you had to place your palm on a pad, it would take a blood sample, aura sample, retina scan, and voice recognition. The highest in security was placed at this lift. If what was presented was not in the records, access would be denied and the whole facility would be placed on high alert lock down. No one could get in or out. She made sure of it.

Placing her hand on the pad, it took a blood sample and an aura sample. She then placed her eyes in front of the retina scanner and it scanned for a second before beeping for a voice recognition access.

"Ezmera, Carmina Ordo Domina."

The security checkpoint flashed green and the doors slid open for her to step in. She had healed already from the small injury made for the blood sample to be taken. The doors hissed closed and the lift accelerated to the top at a relatively fast speed.

West Tower: Executive Offices: Floor 35 Personal Office

Ezmera had been situating the days reports and signing off on new projects that needed confirmation to finish. From here she could access her computer and look at any camera feed she requested. Sifting through e-mail was tiresome. it was then that she felt the presence. it was strong and unwaivering. Where was it? She would find out. She opened a line to Marine Command and the Sergeant appeared on the screen.

"Sergeant, I want you to contact your men on patrol and see if they have encountered anyone looking for me."

She waited a few seconds before he nodded his head.

"Alright, what is their current position?"

"West Tower, Seventh Floor, Portal Corridor."

"Thank you Sergeant. That will be all."

She terminated the communication line and stood. She had it in her to do this. While she should wait from the presence to come to her, she could not wait. Not when so much could be accomplished in the time that would be wasted. She smiled and moved to stand in the middle of the room, breathing slowly, before speaking. She muttered an incantation as she opened up a small portal in her shadow that found its way to the one she sought. Their shadows connected and she could pull him to her. which is what she did. The spell was new to her so she felt a slight rush of light-head feeling when it was completed. There before her, stood a man. His ring could not hide his power from her. She saw it all. It is not to say, she could not feel it. He felt rather common, but demon to demon sensing showed her much.

"Hello there."

West Tower: Executive Offices: Floor 35 Personal Office

Ezmera smiled. A warlock who could fight and was a scientist. Just the person she would need. She had just gotten rid of her Head Scientist and needed another one. This one seemed more competent though. He said he searched for her. She wondered why.

"I am Ezmera, Queen of the Demons and CEO of Carmina Ordo Corporation. This corporation serves as a cover operation here in the world of the living. It does allow for some advances in our technology to help fight the other factions. Some of the humans in this corporation know of us Demons and that they work for a few. Some forget, and some never know. I am glad you sought me out, though I am curious as to know why."

If he answered correctly he would receive the spot she desired for him. If not, well then she would need to find another she supposed.

Hmm, a Vision? How interesting. If he had a vision of my need for assistance. What else could he see, she wondered. Ezmera was in thought as he knelt at her feet and she grinned slightly. He was giving himself to her and she needed that. Alright then. She would have him.

"Very well. Given your knowledge, power, and willingness to serve, you shall be my Second In Command. You may also take lead of all Research And Development here. You may rise and take your leave. Don't make me regret giving you this privilege."

She sighed and chuckled. She had high hopes for him and hoped he would not let her down. Her next task was to reach out to the other factions and see what was going on. She had kept the Order isolated so that they could grow and be able to one day be in the position to show that they were a power that could hold its own with or without allies. It was time she find out what they were doing and make her next move.
