Horacio follows along with Kith and Cephrien, but now that he is free, he feels that it is urgent that he tries to join the rebel meeting.
"There is a rebel meeting in London! I've probably missed it. I really should go..." Horacio says quickly. He looks around for the nearest teleportation booth since he is already late.
"I appreciate all you did for me, linnea, and I am sorry for the trouble that I caused you."

(To Genki)
After landing, Momo and Kalma inspect the area. Momo has no idea that Kalma is the goddess of graves, to her, she is just a test pilot, but a skilled, fearless one. Momo talks to some of her workers, when she spots Genki, helping with the relief effort.
"Ah, there's my son. You know, you should spend time with my son sometime. I think you two would make a cute couple." Momo suggests to Kalma. "He's never had a girlfriend." She says quietly.
She then walks over to Genki, who appears to be busy working.
"Genki, good job taking initiative like this. I'm glad your helping out here. Isn't this terrible?!" She says to her son. She cares for Genki, but sometimes she worries about him. He isn't always as interested in the company as she wishes he was.

"We met Yasmin in Helsinki. Lucio met her and brought her home I think." I reply to Malak's earlier question about how we met Yasmin. The meeting is getting long and I will need to go to work tomorrow. Hopefully we can wrap the meeting up in a few hours.
"I support working with the anarchists, if any of them can be organized, Salome. As for the Enlightened Brotherhood, I do know one member. His name is Attis. I met him long ago. Though, I am not sure if they would even be interested in working with us."

Kalma quietly follows Momo as they begin inspecting the area around them, the damage that her brother had done only now becoming blatantly evident on the ground. "To think this place used to be bustleling with life..." Kalma thinks grimly as she can hear the faint sobbing of someone; she doesn't know from where, but she can hear it. "I should have made him pay for what he did!" Kalma thinks furiously, but before she is able to mentally beat herself up for it, Momo catches her completely off guard by suggesting she should spend time with her son.
Kalma's pale cheeks suddenly blush slightly as she says, "I-I'm honored that you think so, but... errr um- I'm very shy around people I don't know." Kalma replies nervously, not sure if she was even ready to move on. Ever since she lost Surma, she had doubts that she would ever even consider the idea of seeing someone else; it was unheard of, but she couldn't be rude either. Kalma remains quiet after that, still blushing slightly at the suggestion Momo made a moment ago.

Sidapa returns to the spot where the Socialists were meeting, but, when he returns, he finds that the place is entirely empty. It was as if they were never there at all. He spends some time searching, but sure enough...there is nothing. They packed up and left. Sidapa is confused and upset. Kith told him that if he returned, he would find the socialists and could capture Armin.
He spends some time, wandering about the building in confusion, until he gets a message from Yasmin, the young operative in Helsinki. He learns that she was with the rebels and that they are now in Helsinki. They are by Helsinki University.
Sidapa wastes no time and takes a teleportation booth to Helsinki to try to find them. When he arrives, he finds that the city is trashed. There are downed buildings and large, dead machines.

"Oh. Hey mom. Hi Kalma." Genki reply back with a small smile.
"Yea. It is terrible. I was in South Africa doing some research when I heard about the Tsunami and the eruption. So, I thought cooking for them might help them to get better."

After the meeting ends, I am given orders to give a speech summarizing the decision of the Economic Council and reminding people of the Holy Week next week. So, I take some time to prepare some notes for a basic speech to be given over M TV. I am not given much time to prepare. I ready the speech, then appear on TV.
"Earlier this week, Momo Kurokawa and her company Intelligent Design attacked Helsinki with the intent of taking over the company Sota. Due to a large tsunami in Japan, the superiority of Sota's technology, and an emergency meeting of the Economic Council, the attack was pulled off. Momo has agreed to pay for repairs to Helsinki and regrets her mistakes and weaknesses." I say in the speech.
"As for Japan, the damage from the tsunami has been extensive. There are thousands dead in mostly the South Western coastline of the country. Some companies have decided that they will aid Japan. This is out of self interest, of course, since the loss of life means fewer consumers for their products and fewer workers. It could also mean a spread of disease as bodies decay or clean water is unavailable in some areas. The Master says that natural disasters are a part of life and a test of humanity's strength."
"The Master would also like to remind you of the Holy Week in Rome next week to celebrate the Temple of Terror. That is all..."

"It seems that my company's budget is going to be tight for a while as we rebuild things there. I won't be able to research or develop any new machines for a while...until this mess is cleaned up." Momo says in a bitter tone. She folds her arms over her chest and looks out to the sea. She has never felt so defeated and angry. "How was I to know that Keitoleinen was a god? He did this. And he will pay. I will see to that. I have a plan, but, the plan must wait until...this is cleaned up and my company is back on its feet."
"I do appreciate both of your help though."

"Oh...okay then and you are welcome." He says to her.
Genki's eyes widen a bit when his mom mention about Mr. Keitoleinen being a god. He thought ALL gods were killed off long time ago.
"Mom....I thought all gods were killed off....and what is your plan of how to defeat Mr. Keitoleinen?"

To Sidapa
Yasmin was glad that she could get away from them. She thought she might go insane if she spent a minute longer with them.
"They're pretty nice but....." she says to her quietly until she spot Sidapa.
Instead of running towards him, she took a jawbreaker out of her pocket and throw it at Sidapa's head.

"Maybe you should join. I hadn't thought of it before. Don't you feel angry? Doesn't society bother you....don't I bother you? You're too passive about things." Bonifaz tells his sister. "But maybe someday...you'll just get fed up of it all."
He glances at the television, which is cartoons...since Amelia changed the channel.
"Gunther should be getting back soon from the meeting." He remarks.
He then turns to Heikki.
"You don't need to be the vector for the disease. I think that...we have a guinea pig in our company. A strange kid with white hair who seems to be immune to...a lot. I think we could get him to do it. It's his job to do things like that."
Bonifaz tries to remember the kid's name, but it escapes him. "It starts with an S. Soupa...or Suma...or Soumi, or something...Soupey...we'll just call him Soupey."

Surma was busy helping a young lady rest after sustaining multiple injuries. For now, all he could do was help bandage up the survivors and have them relax until help came. After taking care of business in one home, he walked out.. the clothes on his body suddenly wavering as a strong wind blew. It was coming from a helecopter that flew overhead.
Surma figured that it was assistance sent to help the remaining survivors. They landed a few buildings away, so he was unable to catch the faces of those in the helecopter.. either way, he figured that he wouldn't be needed here anymore. So it was probably best to stay out of the way for now.
He reached up and popped the collar to his black jacket before turning around and walking down the street.

"I will build my own god machine." Momo replies with a smile. "It will take a great deal of effort, but I will learn as much as I can about Keitoleinen...then, I will build some god machines. I will build machines that are...10 times larger than the mechas. The largest machines ...ever made. I will build machine "Gods" that are capable of fighting that beast form of his."
"I don't have the money or resources for that right now though. I just have to repair the company. I will also need a large amount of Manala crystals to power such a thing. So, I best stay on good terms with Calithin Crest."
She folds her arms and looks down at a washed up tire. A crab scurries across it.
"Genki, you are good with people. I'm going to need you to travel to different businesses and try to make friends with them. Show them the good side of our company. You can be my little...diplomat...you can spread good will on behalf of the company."

TO: Li The past few days have been insanely stressful for Anthony. With the recent disaster in Japan, Dr. Hoito ordered Anthony to create new, better foods and workers for the efforts to restore Japan. Anthony was personally against this, as he believed in survival of the fittest (organization) possibly more than even the Master.
Scratching his head as he looked through the genetic coding on the screen, Anthony didn’t know what to think of it. Combining life forms and organisms was impossibly difficult, and Anthony hated doing it.
Rubbing the sand out of his eyes, Anthony shot Li an email:
Yo Li!
Think you could come to Genetech for an hour or two and prepare a speech with me on the matter of Genetech’s involvement in the Japan restoration process? Also, I’ve been busy and somewhat out of the loop for a couple days now, think you could fill me in? Thanks.
-Anthony West

Kalma lowered her head alittle sadly again as the fact that this all could have all been avoided if she had just come out and told Momo that she was the younger sister of a Finnish god of destruction; not to mention she herself was a god aswell. So many people were killed because of her, or atleast she felt like it was because of her. "Momo..." Kalma started, trying not to sound timid since that was a sign of weakness and she didn't want to be seen as weak.
"I... knew that he was all along." Kalma went on now staring at the ground. "He's my older brother... I'm sorry- I should have told you sooner." she added hoping that the old saying about band-aids was true; she felt like shit now, but the sooner she got it over with the better.
