World of darkness : book 3 : the red war

Part 3 : the upgrades

                                     ( pov narrator)

Hilda was siting in her office waiting for agatha to come in , the two planned to see how mara was developing with her projects .

Hilda and agatha of course had little knowledge of how her machines work but they needed better things to help them deal with manpower shortages and weapons shortages .

The idea hilda had for mara was if they cant build up enough men and have smaller amount of weapon mara should make better higher quality ones in terms of weapons that will make up for both .

Despite that though ever since alfred was killed mara has been a lot happier and has been working much faster then before almost doubling the amount she can make in a day .

Shes mainly focused on making less destructive technology but she knows she has to make some weapons even if its not by aflred forcing her .

Soon agatha entered hildas office after being called up by hilda to go see mara .

Hilda " ah agatha glad your here, shall we get going ?" She asked standing up and pushing her chair under her desk.

Agatha " we are going to the enderkin girls lab right ? " the two walked out of the office and began walking down the hall together ,

Hilda " i asked mara to mainly make us more advanced guns and blade weapons to make us have less causalities while we recruit army train more people for the army "

Agatha " if i may ask are you sure she should be are main scientist she doesnt work well with others aside from the guy with 6 arms " she was referring to Daryll and how since mara and Daryll confessed their love for each other they have been spending a lot more time together while mara works in her lab.

Hilda " Daryll has done great things for mara ..i assume you havent heard about what the old captain did to her ?" She asked agatha as the neared some stairs .

Agatha " stuff that made him deserve his fate ...do we even know who did it ? Who basically fed him to Azura" hilda shook her head they couldnt find anyone that had any evidence on them to say they killed alfred.

Hilda " i dont disagree but he was still one of us and trust me once the war was over i planned to take him down a peg myself but the killer struck first " the reached the bottom of the stairs and had one more set of stairs to go on the other side of the hall way till they could go outside.

Agatha " where is mara even from ...well of course the end but any where we know specific?" Hilda thought to her self and in fact mara has never talked about where she is from all they know is that she ran away at a young age and came here not to long before azura did.

Hilda " doesnt matter shes one of us but enough talk about her hows life with you ?" They made it down to bottom floor and started to walk over to the door way outside the main fort.

Agatha " well things are going well aside from virmir not being happy still about me out ranking him ...and hes been annoying me " agatha had a look on her face that seemed to suggest feelings of not annoyance.

Hilda " do you like him ?" He face went red and hilda smiled smug .

Agatha " oh god no hes just an annoying officer mind your own love life , i heard lyria has been trying to get you a date a long time now " hilda had been single for the last 20 years but she hasn't tried to date or even had feelings for no one in a long time .

Hilda " please im my own independent women with a great life leading the frost bourne...and definitely dont have a drinking problem...i mean nothing !! Ha ha .. " agatha blinked twice confused and concerned .
