Re: [Nexus] ISF HQ
[Front Gate]
The guard's helmet obscures his face, but somehow he gives the impression of rolling his eyes. "Miss, if we gave everyone free access to talk with the higher-ups, you'd be in the back of a very long line. You'll have to do better than that. Why do you want to speak to him?"Avatar by Ashen Lilies.

Re: [Nexus] ISF HQ
[Front gate]
"Because I have come into posession of some very sensetive information about a secret project your organization has sponsored. Your 'higher-ups' can choose to speak with me, or I will go public with this information." She explains calmly, surpressing the urge to smirk at the, in her mind, rather rude guard.~Amor Vincit Omnia~I have a Youtube Channel

Re: [Nexus] ISF HQ
[Front Gate]
"Suuure you have. Ah well. If you turn out to be another conspiracy theorist, I'll just see if we can fine the **** out of you for wasting our time." The guard turns away from Svaela, talking on the comm.
If she listens in, she'll probably hear something about holocomm rooms. I don't know if she knows what those are, but if she does, I hope she doesn't mind holograms.
Shortly afterward, the gate opens, a pair of guards awaiting behind it. "Come on."
Assuming there are no objections, they'll escort her to...
[Holoprojector Room 1]
Where a hologram of ISF General Leon Vettel awaits, looking rather resigned, if anything. The guards depart once Svaela has arrived, probably because their clearance isn't high enough to listen in on this.

"I doubt I would have made it past the front gate and your, somewhat rude, guards, if I were." Svaela agrees, content to make her disapproval of the guard's tone known here, rather than doing something rash, like branding the man.

Stheno watches Eileen closely, and the gorgon head on her front seems to be shifting ever so slowly, the snakes writhing and rustling against each other. Geoff seems to only react a little to the Cure. It helps, but it seems a great deal of his life force was taken.

"I'd ask what he was doing to be in this state, but I don't want to know," Eileen mutters, shaking her head. "This is going to need more juice."
And she starts the quiet incantations for a juicer spell - Restoration, to be precise, concentrating on channeling the divine magic of her patron, the Ranger Pin on her chest glowing slightly.

Re: [Nexus] ISF HQ
[Holoprojector Room 1]
"Gate guards at high-profile installations in populated areas are often like that, I'm afraid. But yes, I am in charge here, as I'm General Leon Vettel of the ISF. I'm not quite the highest authority in the Empire, but I'm the highest you'll be talking to. My Imperial Army counterpart is less willing to speak with civilians than I am. I hope you don't mind the holoprojector, but security is security." Vettel seems awfully friendly given his rank.
Moreso given what Svaela was told about, though. Perhaps some inkling of that shows in his comment on security?Avatar by Ashen Lilies.

"I think it'd be obvious, but suit yourself." Taul says. Geoff stirs slightly, healed most of the way, but still tired. Taul nods. "We'll probably need you to do this for the next several days."

"Even if I know, I don't want to," Eileen points out, as she steps back, looking just a little worn, herself. "I can handle that. I assume an escort each time will be necessary - and wise."

"I quite understand." Svaela says, politely. "I wished to discuss with you a device in your posession. A field designed to protect the city. In particular, I wished to discuss its power supply." She watches the projection carefully, watching to see if he knew of what she spoke, and any possible attempts to decieve.~Amor Vincit Omnia~I have a Youtube Channel

The holographic general raises an eyebrow. "Is this about the shield generator recently re-enabled thanks to that deal with Vyrn? We've gotten a fair bit of flak from that, mainly from Red Zone residents. We're not entirely sure why it'll only work with him involved, if that is what you're concerned about..."
Vettel seems to have...completely missed it?

"Then you do not know how it is powered." It was a statement, not a question. Svaela frowns a bit and takes a breath before continueing. "General Vettel, do you think of yourself as a good man?

The General shakes his head sadly, sighing. "He's always been more willing to sacrifice a few to save the greater whole than me, but...we should both understand that the arrangement was made right after the city had been sucked into an underworld in an attempt to destroy it, which failed. Casualties were...high, to put it lightly. Before I go on, though...I assume Viscose told you. Where is he now?"Avatar by Ashen Lilies.

Eileen chuckles, and shrugs.
"Might as well. I assume you have other clerics who can handle resurrections, if things go poorly?"
She's (half-)joking, of course.

Re: [Nexus] ISF HQ

"...I see. Noir would say that those three are nothing compared to thousands or even millions, and I think he looked to what had just happened as proof that he was right. I wouldn't have done it, but...it comes down to protection of the masses against the three. I can't sacrifice that protection for them when I can only do anything about one. Three generators exist, and only one is here. One's likely at IA HQ, and I know nothing of the third. I'm afraid my hands are tied. I don't have access to two of them, and if it came down to force, the IA has far more raw power than we do. Even if I moved against one, he'd find out."
It's probably easy to tell that Vettel believes what he's saying.

"He would be General Noir of the Imperial Army. As for an alternate power source, it might be possible...but, with Alizarin Viscose dead, it doesn't seem likely to me."
Whoops. That is a problem, isn't it?
"From what I know, his inventions were always things most techs or mages could never accomplish on their own. The one thing I can think of at this point is that, if an alternative system was obtained, it might be possible to persuade him to destroy the existing generators. However, I imagine that such an alternative would be difficult to find. I wouldn't say it's impossible, but it'll take time."Avatar by Ashen Lilies.

"Thanks. And...I'm not sure I'd go that far yet." Eileen chuckles, as she finds a place to sit, and does so. "I think accepting my presence will be enough for now."

Re: [Nexus] ISF HQ

Vettel seems to be in thought for a bit before speaking again. "Hm. I have a contact who specializes in advanced power sources, so powering a replacement system should work out. I'll have him get to work on that. If you could help to find something to harness that power source to replace the existing generators, it would be welcome. As for Noir, I think it would be better if I spoke with him myself. As I told you, he's more likely to be receptive to me than to a civilian, especially with the threat of exposure involved. Between that and the potential for a replacement, I should be able to persuade him to have the generators destroyed once that replacement is finished. It's...not a flawless plan, but I think it's the best I can do in my position."Avatar by Ashen Lilies.

1st Lt Alice Delisle comes in to see Geoff's condition. No, I don't know how she found out either.
"I suppose I can classify this as a workplace accident," she says. "Can someone give me an estimated recovery time?"Last edited by happyturtle; 2011-02-09 at 08:47 PM.

Taul stops on his way out. "You'd have to ask Eileen, but I think we'd prefer to keep this off the record." He gives them both an apologetic look before leaving. Geoff seems to only need good rest now.
