The Divide 4

Whisper: *smiles at him and rolls her eyes teasingly...* he did think you should also know but still... *she grins at kaz with a bit of mischief in her eyes...* well we should probably let you finish packing... Are you planning on teleporting there or just going by foot?

Avril: Stop that! *she realizes what he's trying to do*

Wesley traces the foot prints of Spisek but ends up losing him. Wesley frowns and walks away.

Mason does some more things on the screen, none of which including Seka due to the nature of Seka being used on the lower ranking officers and people than him. Mason only worries himself with the real problems. He turns to the 5 humans in the tubes. Most of them involving his "children". He walks over to them, pressing a few buttons on some screens on the side of the tubes. He pulls an odd usb-like object from his pocket and slips it in it a port on the tube, installing a new program into the tube. He removes the usb-like device and moves back upstairs through the elevator to find the guard.
"What is it? Something important I hope."

Zadian: I don't know. I might teleport, but it's not too far, maybe a half-days' journey. I think I'll walk.

Guard: yes,.. I received two messages... One from your second in command and one from the security and backup of our best assassins....

Whisper: ok... Hopefully she should be fine till then...

Seka: *chokes out through clenched teeth* g...guess I d..don't need to pretend now... *with this he drops the act... His breathing is jerky and every few breaths a slight gurgling sound comes as blood slowly pools in his lung... He ignores her protest however... He again shifts his weight trying to break more or force the broken rib deeper however this time he is less subtle about it... He groans and grunts as some of his cracked ribs crack farther*

Avril: *restrains him further, preventing movement* What's the point!? Kill the body of an innocent boy just to take over another? You didn't even know his name! He had talents! A future! *her voice cracks*

Mason rolls his eye.
"Alright then. Tell me it."

Spisek watches, unconcerned with Jasper.

Seka: *he snarls* there is always a chance the next implant won't work... I've seen it happen again and again! They transfer a copy of their mind a second time and the body won't accept it! The sample is destroyed in the process and they are gone.... There is always a chance! *he sounds somehow hopeful as he speaks of a possibility for final death... His voice gets quiet* your friend is dead.... This isn't him... It's a corpse holding a corpse... *there is a hint of pain -not physical- as he refers to himself as a corpse within a corpse.... When he finishes this he turns his head away from her and coughs.... blood trickles from his mouth onto the table he is restrained on...*

Guard: your second in command said that the infiltration is successful and is going as planned. The girl has agreed to do it for a quick death and her family being freed... She doesn't know they are long dead... Secondly one of your best assassin's named seka who was recently transferred into a new body sent out a backup signal... The signal stopped broadcasting at some point... They went to the last point he broadcasted from and found that a bomb had gone off... We found parts of the device that were crushed... I believe he is dead... We have a better body available... Should we begin the transfer?

Mason blinks.
"You.... Killed her family? Oh no, no! This simply won't do! Won't do at all!"
He paces as he speaks, looking down.
"We always keep our promises here at Trill Co., don't we?"
He looks up to the guard, holding his hand behind his back.
"Send the person who caused their executions into my office at say... 3:30... Yes. I believe I'm free then. As for the assassin, I say sure. Take one of the used up bodies from the emotion plant."

Avril: Y-you want to die?

Guard: uhm... The person who had them fully drained to death uh.... He fell into a machine... Crushed... But I can find his partner if you prefer... Also... I understood that they would be released or "what is left of them" would at least be let go...

Seka: *he doesn't look at her* why would i want to live?

Mason frowns.
"Well that's a shame. Though let's hope for both your sake that you aren't lying about his.... accident."
Mason grins eerily.

Guard: oh... He is very dead... I might be able to fish out part of his brain or something if you'd like proof....

Avril: To make things better...

Mason: "No... No... Your word is good enough."

Guard: *nods* am I dismissed sir?

Seka: it's not like I can... *he looks away his stomach rumbles again and he sighs. Then that look he always has but hides in his eyes again briefly appears... It's a mixture of trapped, haunted, hopeless, and of some sort of mental agony...*

Mason smiles again.
"Of course."

Avril: And who told you that?

Seka: iv been around long enough to learn a lot... I found out on my own....

Guard: *gone*

Mason asks around about the man who sent the family to their death before going to his office.

*the man is actually dead... He did fall into a machine and was crushed... But apparently someone helped him fall*

Avril: Well, you're wrong

Mason send for the man who sent him to his death.

*they finally find him and bring him*

Seka: you wouldn't say that if you had been there... Of course if you had been there you wouldn't be alive....

Mason swivels in his chair to face the murderer, still grinning.
"Hello there..."
