Everything Stays: In the Future

A Plan in Motion

Back in Atlas, Ms. Helios is currently overlooking production lines for some of her studios productions. As she is looking over the notes, she can see a few funds from the Schnee Dust Company have come in for the purchase of a few ships to transport cargo. Helios smiled at the result. Weiss had taken the bait and now "Phase 2" could rule begin. She looked over some papers from Mistral to see that Greene was pushing his portion of the plan.

The front cover read, "Another Attack in Annexed Territory". The article went to to say how another terrorist attack had hit one of Mistral's many islands off its east coast. Helios, of course, knew that the attack was played out by Warp Gate and whatever mercenary he decided to hire for that day. The attacks were of a long line of other attacks since the Signal Incident. Greene had been pushing for an armed force outside the police, questioning the need for huntsmen and so far, it was working.

She smiled again at the progress and then, a portal opened before her and Warp Gate and Greene himself entered her office. She glanced up and smiled as the two take their seats.

Helios: So...your legislature has been approved for voting?

Greene: Almost. We just need a few more people on our side. Warp Gate, if you could continue to stir the pot?

Warp Gate: Can't. Not here at least.

Greene: And why is that?

Warp Gate: The doc wants me heading up to finish off our little Signal Incident.

Helios: Are you sure that your plan will work?

Warp Gate: It won't just be me. It will be Indigo and Shade himself.

Helios: And you know exactly where it is at?

Warp Gate: Same place it's been in. Just different staff. And I'm hoping that Scorch is there!

Greene: And if he's not?

Warp Gate: Then we'll just be killing some kids.

Helios: Well, it's nice to know you went completely off the deep end Mr.-

Warp Gate: Up! Warp Gate! Have no need for the old name.

Greene and Helios glance at one another and then back at Warp Gate with questioning looks. He glares down at the two and slowly opens his palm, forming a portal near Greene's head and sucks it inside slowly and painfully. Helios gets up and aims a pistol at Warp Gate but he opens another portal and begins to drag her through it as well.

Greene: I will (groans in pain) tell your boss!

Warp Gate: Technically, you are my boss.

Warp Gate drops the portals and both of them fall back to their seats, Greene trying to get air into his lungs.

Warp Gate: Helios...stasis on the Schnee front?

Helios: (Gasps for air) She...she has taken the bait. Her little Sterling convinced her. Currently, she's poured more than 30 million Lien into my company and to us as a whole.

Warp Gate nods in satisfaction. He glances over to Greene and nods and he too, gets up and prepares to leave.

Warp Gate: Keep syphoning money from the brod. Then spring the fraud. Keep in touch.

Warp Gate opens a portal and slips through it with Greene. Helios rolls her eyes and keeps going through her own files and papers. She still smiles at the thoughts about what will eventually happen to their enemies.

Warp Gate opens a portal and walks into a warehouse filled with some mercenaries and even Damson, Hazel Rainart and Dr. Volt. Beryl Indigo and Vert Russel are also in the room.
