Code Geass: Guardians of the Revolution

Althea

"I guess it's time for the next mission then..." Althea thought as she looked up from the phone Umar had given her, sighing as she tossed it onto her bed. Her brother hadn't tried to talk to her since their last meeting and he hadn't even answered her calls either, she was pretty sure now that Umar had lied about coming back to the Guardians and had just said everything to spite her before throwing away the phone.

"Calm down, be careful, you have a job to do now." Althea reminded herself as she tried to hide her emotions away for now, temporarily succeeding for now. Satisfied with herself for now, Althea opened her door and walked out, heading to the Knightmare Bay.
------------------------------------------
Duncan Ingvar

"So you're sure he's not in area four then?" Duncan asked the Captain of team four before looking back at his assistant, already knowing that the Northwestern area had been crossed out on their map. currently nine separate teams were sent out all across the Union looking out on every possible lead they had on Fiametta, though so far all of their leads had been false.

It had been pointed out to Ingvar that Fiametta had most likely been responsible for all of the credit that had been recently transferred to many different cards, and then bought multiple tickets to various parts of the Union to throw the army off. And since they had no evidence to the contrary, Duncan was calling all nine special ops teams back until they had a strong lead.

"Just a second Sears, I need Coffee before you pull out that crap." The General stated as he looked at his assistant. who was holding too many files to count at the moment, all of them no doubt meant for Duncan.
------------------------------------------
Cyrus Guerrino

"Yes, I want you to give her a bonus and two weeks off, she just had a mental breakdown three days ago when her imaginary brother died. Spare no expense to help her, she needs it." Cyrus ordered his Secretary calmly yet loudly. Cyrus had felt remorse for his actions against the young maid, and he was currently trying to help the Girl's well being while others thought she had gone mad, only Cyrus knowing the truth of what had happened to her.

"Is there anything else you'll need Sir?"

"Hmm....Yes Anya, could you check with General Retsih to see if she still intends to come in for her appointment today? I'm sure that with all the...er, trouble recently, she's probably very busy....." Cyrus finished before turning off the intercom so he could sit back down on the small couch in his office. "It's so....boring now."He complained, secretly wishing that the Guardians would strike again soon.
------------------------------------------
Umar Fiametta

"Hmm, this is nice." Umar whispered happilyto himself as he looked out at the beach before him. He and Karma had arrived on the Gulf coast the night before, getting a small home on the coast, buying it with cash of course. The Mechanic had quickly gained untraceable money by using illegal credit to buy rather expensive items in various towns on their way to Area three, the southeastern coast of North America. About sixty miles out of town, Umar started to pawn items for Cash, never doing to many items at once so the employees wouldn't remember him or Karma.

After visiting eleven different stores, Umar and Karma finally had enough Cash to rent a small house on the beach that was far away from towns, and cameras as well, just to be safe. Since they had arrived, Umar had tried to work on his broken cell phone in an attempt to fix it. Unfortunately he had just ended up frustrating himself, and thus he was now taking a break out on the Beach, enjoying himself quite nicely as he tried not to think about the Union, the Guardians of justice, or his Sister for that matter.

Karma came up behind Umar and sat beside him. "What's up?" She asked casually. The past few days of running had been quite eventful. And now it was just so quiet.
She looked at Umar to try and see how he was feeling about everything. He looked deep in thought.

Diana Retsih

Diana gave a chuckle. "A kind offer, but I must refuse. I learned my lesson the last time. Karl, take my advice and never marry a politician. No matter how much they sweep you off your feet."

She took his report and started to read through it. "By the way, if you pass by John, please tell him to meet me when he gets the chance. You're probably right in your guess, but we'll be finding out soon enough. The more they hurt our enemies, the better. You are dismissed for now Karl. Though....I do have a task for you. If it is not too much trouble, please bring this note to Major General Alfred Von Klaus. I have an appointment to keep and I won't be able to deliver it in time."

Diana handed him a slip of paper. "You're free to read it, since you won't understand what it means. You'll find him in the science department right now. However....please keep this delivery off the record."

Diana gave him a thankful smile, stood up, and walked away toward Cyrus Guerrino's office. The note in question read, He has accepted. Phase One begins soon. Be ready.

Raven Kagato

Raven Kagato left her room and headed toward the hanger bay. Perfect, the new mission was beginning soon. Now they were going to show the Union that their corruption would not last much longer.

Alexander Relmmih

"Mr. Ingvar, may I speak with you for a moment?" Alexander asked, seeming to come from nowhere.

"General Noriyoto, I've found something on the Guardians." Yammatil paged the General on the Comm. System. She waited for him to respond before she continued.

R.R.

"I have confidence in us," R.R. said. "I do hope that our first victory has not made our pilots too overconfident, I know personally how that can betray you. As for the Union, our false trails will confuse some of their people, and it will be quite a guess if they manage to locate where we will strike before we do so."

Shiro Mizawa

His two tasks completed, Shiro was now busy catching up on the Guardian craziness. He had let himself become to immersed in his work to pay attention to world affairs, as they did not affect his targets. Now, he was quite alarmed at the world affairs, though not for the safety of Japan, he was confident Lord Zero would protect them, but how these Guardians might help their enemies, and his complete lack of attention to them.

His lord had summoned him, and Shiro left as soon as the servant had come, making haste to answer Lord Zero's call. He arrived, and entered the room, bowing to his lord.

"No need, Diana. I'm already here," John said cheerfully as he entered the room. walking with Diana as she left. His eyes narrowed slightly when he saw Klaus, though he quickly looked away. That man represented everything that was bad in the UFN and the world. He was ambitious and nationalistic, a dangerous combination.

"I'll take my leave now, Mein general, Herr Fuma." Karl left and wnet down the hall.

He has accepted. Phase One begins soon. Be ready What the hell? He delivered the note, but not before he wrote it's contents down.

The general seemed like a decent person, and she was a german which was a plus. I'll keep it quiet, probably just some little game between top brass

He entered the knightmare hangar and joined the other knights there, "Kurt, Willi, get ready. I have a feeling that something big is about to happen."

T.E.

"I agree. For all they know, we could be intervening in Canada instead of South America." T.E. said. The officer from before, the woman who looked like Shirley Fenette, walked into the bridge carrying two cups of coffee. She handed them to the Guardian leaders.

"Thank you, Miss Monroe. Just what I needed." T.E. said thankfully.

"You're welcome sir! Do either of you need anything else?" Shirley asked.

Diana Retsih

"Good, you're here John. I know I normally don't ask you of this, but...do you mind doing some of my paper work? I'm going to a meeting with Guerrino, and my work is due in an hour. I'm not sure how long it will take. Do you mind helping me out?" Diana asked sweetly.

Zero

"You may rise, Shiro. I am glad you are here. I imagine you've heard about the Guardians by now. They pose several problems to our new Order." Zero began. The God-Emperor paced back and forth in front of the agent.

"Do you have any ideas on what to do about the current situation? I believe I know what to do, but hearing your opinion would be welcome."

Miho Kouzuki

"Wow, things sure are changing," Miho commented to the rest of his teammates. Several days had gone by since the Guardian's first appearance. Frankly Miho was surprised about these turn of events.

Shiro Mizawa

"My lord, the only humble opinion I could offer, foolish as it may sound to you, is to play the Guardians against the UFN and Union, though as to how that would be accomplished, I do not know," Shiro answered. Having only discovered this disturbance, he had been given little time to think it over.

R.R.

R.R. took his cup, and said, "thank you miss Monroe. I do not require anything further, though I cannot speak for my partner."

Umar Fiametta

Umar looked up at Karma with a smile as he was surprised by her presence. "Not much really, it's just, this is really nice....isn't it? I've never actually been on a beach like this before, and to be here now, with you....Well it's wonderful, wouldn't you agree?." He finished with a hint of nervousness, pulling his legs closer to his chest so he could sit up straight and look at Karma without wobbling around unsteadily.
-----------------------------------------------------
Duncan Ingvar

Duncan turned around and looked at Sir Relmmih with his eyebrows raised, surprised at the man from Ragnarok arriving suddenly. The General cleared his throat loudly before replying, "Yes, of course." He replied while setting his cup down on a desk next to him.

John nodded at his superior, "Of course. There's not much for me to do anyway."
He frowned a little before speaking, "I don't trust that German. He's the embodiment of the corruption in the UFN."

T.E.

"I do not require anything else either, Lieutenant Shirley. You may leave." Shirley nodded at her leaders and gave them a salute.

"Ok! Bye Lulu!" Shirley said. She stopped and corrected herself, "I mean, uh, Sirs. Why did I..."

Shirley stopped her mumbling and said goodbye once more. She left the bridge.

Diana Retsih

"Thank you. I'd watch what you say, John. Some people might not appreciate those types of opinions. You're liable to disappear if you speak up about that." Diana warned. She parted ways with John, hoping he'd remember to do her favor, and walked inside Guerrino's office.

"Hello. I am here for my appointment." Diana informed the secretary.

Zero

"Yes, I had h had similar thoughts Shiro. I do not know if it is possible, but if we can we must use the Guardians to strike down our enemies. Now, I have a new mission for you." Zero stopped his pacing and faced his special agent.

"You are to find out whatever you can about the Guardians. They must have been funded in some way, and they must have left traces when they sought out their pilots and engineers. For now, search all records you can think of in Japan. Report to me when you find something."

Alexander Relmmih

"Good. General Ingvar, First, I have a question I wish to ask you. Keep in mind that this will be kept off the record. What do you think of Ragnarok?" Alexander questioned.

"Then the UFN isn't worth fighting for is it if it's just like the Japanese and Americans," John said bitterly as he sat behind her desk. True to his word, he would to his paperwork. He would also, however, leak what information he could to the Guardians. Every little bit helped.

Cyrus Guerrino

"Oh yes, he's waiting for you right in his office Mam." Cyrus heard his Secretary say through the walls. He was currently a bit more dressed up then usual, his glasses were straight, his clothes were buttoned, and he was actually wearing shoes as well. The Colonel sat in his armchair as he tried not to slouch, finding it to be rather difficult.

Cyrus grabbed a pen and notebook as he saw Diana walk towards the door. "Hello ,General Retsih, Mam." Cyrus politely greeted Diana as he stood up.
-------------------------------------------
Duncan Ingvar looked at Sir Relmmih silently for a few seconds before nodding "I believe that Ragnarok is a necessary group that prevents the occasional foolish person in a high position of power from destroying this country. They do what the Union itself can't, and that is important and necessary if this country intends to continue growing." He replied before grabbing his Coffee and taking a sip of it, enjoying the rich taste and temporary distraction before he set the cup back down.

"But at times, I do have to admit to myself that it's a bit worrying as well. All of the Union's most skilled individuals, working together with quick precision, it's a sobering thought." Duncan finished as he set his cup back onto the Desk beside him.
-------------------------------------------
Althea

"Well here I am, again...." Althea muttered to herself as she walked out into the Pilot bay, feeling rather anxious as she looked over at the Sophranius.

{Hey, sorry for not being around for awhile...^^' But good news!!! The 5th pilot is almost complete! Won't be ready for the next mission, but there's a good chance that the Swords might be surprised when it's over...unless...? <.<}

Ikkada Noriyoto

The General was at his desk reviewing some schematics and drinking some Oolong tea when Lt. General Virs message came through on the comm. unit. "What did you find? Report to me immediately Virs!" Ikkada ordered, rather anxious about the information on the Guardians.

--- --- ---

Seth Ferguson

Seth headed to the Knightmare hangar bay. Ah, finally! It's about time. Let's hurry up and launch Seth! I want to kill again.

"Our mission is to intervene the Union forces in the Brazillian jungles. We've been ordered not to kill anyone."</I> Seth replied.

Tch! Whatever. Many things happen in war. It's impossible to predict. We'll see how far you get when you always play by the rules! Zeth told the teen before cackling.

Seth ignored his alternate self, and approached his Knightmare, Talaria. "What are you thinking about Althea?" The pilot asked as he noticed his comrade deep in thought.

Diana Retsih

"Hello to you, Mr. Guerrino." Diana greeted back. She took a seat. She waited for the Colonel to begin first. She wasn't sure what this appointment was about, but she had an idea. For the moment she'd let him speak.

Alexander Relmmih

"Oh? How so, General?" Alexander asked, his interest peeked. A curious thing for Ingvar to say. The Ragnarok commander made a hidden motion with his right hand. The hidden cameras he knew to be in the room were turned off. The following conversation would not be recorded. No, if certain plans were to be met it could not be.

Raven Kagato

Raven walked toward the Arthur and waited for the orders to embark into the machine. She stayed silent and looked around the hanger bay, studying the other pilot's machines. They were all marvels of technology, much like her Frame. The best scientists and engineers of the world helped to make these things. Without this, she reflected, the Guardians wouldn't be as effective.

((Good to hear Velox.))

Duncan Ingvar

"Ragnarok consists of the best people in their respective fields only, correct? Unfortunately I find that the people who are the best, happen to have more psychological problems then normal soldiers. They can't handle failure, or dealing with other people for that matter. I find that my best men end up breaking down after eight years, either self-destructing or just losing interest in everything they do." Duncan explained carefully as he tried to get his point across. "...Or, you know, Ragnarok hires them and I never get to find out what exactly happened to them...." He finished before leaned his soldiers back a bit as he looked up into Sir Relmmih's eyes, slightly curious as to how he would take Duncan's opinion.
----------------------------------
Cyrus Guerrino

Cyrus looked up at Diana and smiled lightly before taking a seat back in his armchair. "I see that you haven't slept for at least at least three days now. I know the stress must be high after the attack in the Sudan, but tell me, is there more on your mind right now?" He asked his boss after making eye contact with her, prepared to read or modify any memory as long as it helped him calm down Diana.
----------------------------------
Althea

"Hmm?" Althea replied as she turned around to see Seth, rather surprised at her Comrade being able to sneak up on her so easily. "Oh, umm.... it's the Sophranius!" She blurted after trying to think of something that didn't sound odd. "I think it might need a few adjustments, I thought he would be back by now but...." Althea weakly explained before letting the sentence drift off as she realized that she was saying things she didn't want to.

Althea sighed in annoyance, rubbing her forehead nervously with her right hand. The stress of everything was finally getting to her she realized, and it was showing.

Seth blinked confusedly at Althea's irritation. She doesn't seem well... the super soldier thought. "Uh, I'm sorry," the pilot apologized. "Is something troubling you? Or did I say something wrong, or...?" Seth frowned; he really didn't know how to act when people were like this.

Althea bit her lip before sighing again as she listened to Seth. "No, no it's not you, or anyone else that's on the ship right now for that matter." She told Seth, letting her right hand fall to her side as she tried to hide her feelings. "I'm just having...a few personal issues. Very unprofessional, I know it is. Don't worry I'll make sure it doesn't interfere with anything though, so you don't have to tell anyone." Althea tried to reassure her comrade while keeping control over herself at the same time.

"Alright. If you're sure..." Seth responded. He could tell that Althea was desperately trying to hide something, and that she seemed very...worried, or something. She did seem serious about not letting it affect her performance in carrying out the mission, so he would just have to trust her. "Still, I've read that it's not good to keep these things bottled up. I know that it's personal, but perhaps you wouldn't mind talking about this...person, whom you're worried about when the mission is over?" Seth asked, guessing the subject of what her problems revolved around based on her words from earlier.

"Well I-...ok, we'll talk after the missions over then." Althea replied shakily as she tried to keep control over herself still. "Th-thank you...." She added quickly and awkwardly as she kept her hands clenched.

"So, have any idea where T.E. and R.R. are sending us?" Althea asked as she tried to change the subject.

"You're welcome." Seth smiled at her. He was glad that he could be of some use to someone that didn't involve violence or destruction. When Althea asked where the intervention was taking place, his expression reverted back to it's usual silent and slight serious look.

"Yes, I just asked them that recently. They told me that we would be sent to Brazil in South America; commonly known as Area 5. The Union and some terrorists are fighting in order to claim the area themselves, I believe. And we're suppossed to intervene."

Diana Retsih

"Yes, but I'd doubt you'd want to hear about my social life." Diana replied. What wasn't causing her stress these days? On top of her ex-husband and sister, many other things were causing her stress.

Alexander Relmmih

"Ah, I see. You provide a valid point. However, my organization takes measures to prevent such things from happening. It is rare that we lose an agent other than to natural causes these days. I can assure you that we are doing our best to prevent things like that from occuring. Now General, I have a question to pose to you, if you'd like." Alexander began.

Daniri was leaned over the desk, her eyes narrowed as she read over the screen for the fifth time. Her nails drummed almost furiously, in pace with the red-head's calculating thoughts. As always, she was completely absorbed in her work, far from the world her body stood in. The scientist straightened, putting a hand to her head and squeezing her eyes shut for a second before shaking her mind clear of the jumbled mess of words that didn't seem to fit in any sort of order. She sighed, opening her eyes. Don't force the puzzle piece if it doesn't fit, it will effect everything else later on, Daniri. A more patient side of her whispered in her mind, convincing her to let it be for now, and move on to other matters for time being. She moved a few papers aside, revealing the clipboard that had been hidden beneath them, writing down a few short notes to look into further at the next given chance. I should be putting more attention into the current situation, rather than bothering on silly theories. She thought to herself, bringing her eyes from the clipboard to scan along the room.

Cyrus Guerrino

"If it helps me, help you, then I would be fine with helping you solve your personal problems. After all, my job is to help you combat your stress efficiently, and what's more stressful then family?" Cyrus answered with a smile on his face as he looked at the General, trying to make sure that he looked trustworthy so he could do his job.
----------------------------------
Duncan Ingvar

"Really? Well that's excellent news to hear..." The General replied as he realized that he should have known that Ragnarok would have fixed this problem years ago. "...and sure, go ahead." Duncan added as well as his curiosity peaked after Sir Relmmih's request.
---------------------------------
Althea

"Hmm, I suppose it makes sense that we would go there next. After all, not only are we helping the citizens, but we would be cutting off the Union from a great deal of Sakuradite in the mines as well." Althea commented as she processed everything she remembered about Area Five. "Sounds like a good plan, don't you think?"
