Chapter 20: The Eyes of God

[Linnea Korpela]

"Yeah I know Calithin, I meet him once at Keito's house when he forced me to make chocolate chip cookies. Apparently Calithin likes cookies, a lot," Linnea smiled remembering the first time she met Calithin. "He's different from other people, its quite refreshing."
She piled up some debris so that it would be easier to remove.
"Thanks for helping me...even though you didn't know me. I'm really glad that you did, this whole situation could have been differently. I'm sure by now, Keito would be humiliating me."

[Horacio Hatfield]

"Goodbye Linnea. See you after the meeting." Horacio says to Linnea before she follows after Kith to the office. He then walks to the nearest teleportation booth, one of those cheap, nearly broken ones that everyday people can use. He puts in a coin and punches in the teleportation code for Munich.
In a flash of light...he is teleported...but not to Munich. Instead, by some malfuction, he finds himself in Rome. The city is gearing up for the Holy Week next week.

"Oh great.." He mutters to himself.

[Kith Keitoleinen]

"The two of us have never gotten along much. I suppose we are just different people. He is the head of a company...and what am I...just some minor employee for Sota." Kith replies to Linnea. He tries not to sound bitter or jealous, since he isn't, but a part of him does feel a little down about this.

"You seem to like him. Are you infatuated with him?" Kith asks as he starts moving debris into a neat pile so that it is not in the way of the hallway traffic.

[Bonifaz Artz-Lehrer]

"Listen, kiddo, no ones going to die, or if they do, it's just a risk that needs to be made. The workers will get sick, but they probably won't die of the cat flu." Bonifaz explains to Surma. He takes a few bites of his stir fry, which has been growing cold since he's been distracted with conversation.

"If we don't stop the Eyes of God, more people will die...in that Manalist Prison. So, think of it that way."

He takes a few more bites and looks at the others. He glances at Frieda as she was leaving and feels vaguely disappointed that she isn't interested in helping them.

[Sidapa Amparo]

"Darian is going to be here soon." Sidapa informs Yasmin. The two continue to wait outside Charon's home. Sidapa taps his foot. "I have an idea. They don't know that I you are with the Invisible Hand. So, why don't we pretend that I've captured you...and we could lead them into a trap." Sidapa suggests. He likes this idea.

"Maybe...we could use my phone...you could call them and tell them that you need help. You've been captured by Sidapa. Tell them where you are, and, then...they will come...they will see me, but not Darian. Darian can then arrest them and bring them to the temple of terror." Sidapa says with a laugh.

[Yasmin Seyyedi]

"That is a good idea, Sidapa." Yasmin reply with a small smile.

"But should we tell Darian about the idea once he gets here? Also, what about the location where I was 'captured' by you?"

[darian]

Darian was already stealthily making his way through the damaged streets of Helsinki, smoke billowing out into the sky above from more severely damaged areas with mechas and SOTA manala tanks strewn about as clean up crews worked dilligently. Darian didn't bother to stick around and admire his handy work on some of the mechas as he singlemindedly headed toward the meeting spot of the Invisible Hand members.

So long as they didn't get in the way of his shot, he'd have no trouble working with them as he approached the two. Remaining silent as ever, Darian's cloaking was still on as he stopped behind Yasmin and promptly said, "That plan sounds quick and efficient, but what if they don't all come? If any of them decide to remain behind, they'll know it was a trap later." Darian replied through his mask's voice masking system; his words cold and silent as the wind itself.

[Sidapa Amparo]

"Yeah, I guess you are right. Well, we could just go up there and attack them, but I thought that we should use Yasmin...since they trust her." Sidapa replies. He looks up at the building again and frowns. He isn't entirely sure what to do.

"What if we just send Yasmin up there...and she says there is an emergecy...her ...friend from ...somewhere is trapped under one of the mechas that fell and she needs everyone to help her lift it a little." Sidapa suggests. "Do you have any ideas?"

[Heikki Toivonen]

"If you don't want to do it Soupa, I can do it." Heikki replies to Surma. He seems to be bothered with the idea of killing people. Heikki finds it a little strange. He has almost forgotten that normal people care about life. Then...that is a lie too, since the world doesn't value life so much. He was a little shocked that companies volunteered to help with the tsunami.
Maybe they just wanted to look good. Heikki watches Frieda leave. "You don't have to leave Frieda. You made such good food. You should sit and visit with us!"

[darian]

"Yes. Get them all to line up in a row and kill them all at once with one sniper bullet." Darian replied bluntly. It was hard to tell whether or not he was being sarcastic or not, but in theory the idea was possible; it was just getting them all to stand in a row. Otherwise, Darian's reinforced tungsten alloy shell would literally pierce all of them at once like they did the mecha armor.

"We don't have to get them all at once I suppose. Once their leader is taken care of, the others should surely fall within time." Darian said in thought; he knew this would all be easier if he was allowed to simply kill them all on sight. "So far attacking them head on seems the best option. So long as we cover all the exits, we can simply trap them until back up arrives to ship them off to the temple of terror." Darian adds after thinking it over. It was the only really good option he felt.

[Armin Lehrer]

"That was a good meeting!" Armin says happily. He gets up from the table and stretches his arms. "Well, anyone interested in going to Germany to meet up with my brother and try to talk to him?" Armin asks, looking around the room for volunteers.
"After that, we'll break up and start talking to those workers and maybe we can poke the Eyes of God out." He says with a laugh. No one laughs.
"Get it, poke the Eyes out!"

[Momo Kurokawa]

Momo says goodbye to Genki and Kalma, but gives them a list of companies they should visit to try to make amends with. The companies include Artz Lehrer, Crest Mining, Genetech...and lastly Sota. She gives them the right to delegate some of the work to other key employees, since it is quite a work load.
With that done, she leaves Tokyo for London, where she heads to M TV's lab. This is where they develop technology for broadcasting. She requests a tour, which at first she is denied, due to the Helsinki incident. However, after explaining how she is working with Max Alexander, they seem to accept her story and grant her access.

[Sidapa Amparo]

"Okay, sounds good. But, I should warn you. They have a demon named Cephrien on their side. He might be with them. He was once a member of the Invisible Hand and was there when I attacked the rebels back in London." Sidapa explains. He starts walking closer to the main entrance of the house. The house has some walls around it and a garden.

[Yasmin Seyyedi]

Yasmin follow Darian and Sidapa from behind as they head to the house.

"Do you guys want me to walk up to the front of the house?" Yasmin ask. "So it might be easier for you guys...."

[Kasper Schultz]

"I will go with you Armin. It will be just like old times. I haven't been to Germany in years, since that thing happened with Kith. Gosh, I can't wait. Let's go right now!!" Kasper exclaims.

He marches right out the door since he wants to lead the way.

He starts down the stairs to the main entrance.

"I suppose we'll have to take one of those death trap teleporters."
