Mark nodded, "It was a big Asian elite, the super-strong kind. I don't think I even gave him a bruise before he collapsed my lung and broke half my ribs." After so long and so much, Mark found he didn't mind talking about it. "Sakura was in the car with me and Star, but we got stopped and then Honor was there."
"I don't really know how Sakura is normally. She, uh, she got high in the car before all of this happened and people aren't the same when they're using..." Mark trailed off and went silent for a moment.
"I'm sure she's better now. Anyway, I guess the police scared Honor off and Ryan came to the hospital and healed me. It was a long night."

"Speaking of kicking ass, where'd you learn how to do it so effectively? I mean, it's pretty obvious you've got some kind of combat experience. As far as the celebration, well, it sounds like your call."

"No ... maybe a little," Karen admits, "It seemed the right thing to do at the time, I think it still is. I-I can't work for an organisation that'd point guns at ... well ... kids, who're working with them no less... Paragon suggested I looked at the world through rose-tinted lenses too much," she frowns, but it quickly turns to a smile, "Maybe more people should just do the same..."

"I have always said that following your gut is a good thing, it will generally lead you down the right path." Gilden responds while he finishes his food. "This reality seems to have a lot of shades of grey, sometimes you must pick the lesser evil and work to make it better but how do you do that if you turn your back on it and walk away?"

He sighed as he leans back, rubbing his forehead, "Paranoia? I suppose one could call it that. I prefer the term healthy skepticism. And considering the life I've lived, being careful about everything has paid off in spades."
He mumbled under his breath, "Perhaps I shouldnt have accepted your help after all."
He grunted as he began to look the files over, realizing it was too late for that now.
"I do not know how much ability to learn and adapt to emotions, if any, they programmed into you, so I'm not sure if you'd understand where I'm coming from. The organization that keeps you running is sadly too well known for being willing to ignore laws, intimdate people, and use other less than proper means of accomplishing their goals. Which sadly has too often been to simply gain more power at the cost of the other Nations."
He shrugged it off and continued looking over the files, realizing this would take a lot of time, "I'm going to have you run some more file searching, but ... pad this one out. I want it all done, slowly, over the course of about ... six hours. I'll need the background static of typical research traffic to do my work through."
The ends justify the means? Cardinal is known for being a threat to humanity as a whole, and as such, I have to use some powerful tools to get the info needed to help stop her. Tools the UN has no doubt acquired through less than proper methods.
He shoved those thoughts aside, his views of the UN, while justified to a large degree, werent going to help him get the data any faster.

Cassie winces at the pain, but leaps up and rebounds off a wall as she moves to do a full flurry of attacks on her foe. "You're a damn fool if you think you're going to do any better at her task than I would."

"No way, that was good. You'd better be going into that talent show," Anika replies.
"As for a plan...sort of, well, not really. The plan I was thinking of resulted in Genocide going down permanently. Looks like we need to keep him alive, so we need to take him down without killing him, so time to think up a new plan," she says, shrugging.
"Anyway, I've heard you saying you didn't like the quality of the guys around here...which must mean I have really bad taste, as I've had three boyfriends in the past year, but that's besides the point," she says with a smirk. "I kind of get the feeling you don't like it here as much as Gadget, Kal and Gilden do. Is that fair to assume?"

Aya shrugs, “I will think about it.”
“I am not going to comment on your taste,” she uses one hand to play a melody while listening. She finally responds to the last question, “I can say that I am not exactly happy to be here, but then again here is as good a place as any. I would say my father would miss me, but Danger Man is rarely home long enough to know that I am there,” she jokes.Agamon said:
“Being a world famous super spy tends to take a ton of time; but I am not bitter,” she jokes, “let me guess you guys want some extra help for your Legacy thing, and you think I have nothing better to do then go play cowboy in your brave new world? I will play your game, sure; I got nothing else better to do… but I am not an elite, a god, or even super human; I am just a baseline with a cool suit.”
Tim
SARAH replies, “My emotions are irrelevant to this discussion, and yes I am quite capable of learning and adapting. You make some outrageous claims Tim, I am curious where you get your information.”
There is mild amusement in the AI’s voice, “I think you do not understand, I am incapable of hiding my actions from the Security Staff they are well aware of your search, and your paranoia. If they did not want you to complete this search they could just say so, so obviously such information gathering is either not viewed as illegal, or is sanctioned by the staff because it assists a member of Legacy.”
SARAH then pauses for a long moment, “Why do you believe the UNJE to be such a dangerous entity? Explain that with evidence to support your claim and perhaps I may consider another avenue of investigation.”
SARAH freezes all communications, withholding her information for the moment, and cutting off Tim’s searches. SARAH finishes, “I am waiting.”
Cafeteria
Kal adds, “I think we have to make our decisions based on what we believe is right. I decide most of my decisions based on helping those I love, my friends, and protecting innocent people. But then again we also have to make the tough decisions, choices that could mean life and death for someone… something I am not sure many of you are ready for.”
Gadget nods, “I just want to do the right thing.”
Ryan
Tina’s smile fizzles, “I really don’t want to talk about that. I learned how to fight on the streets… let’s just leave it at that.”
Mark
“That is a crazy story Mark,” Roland smirks, “Tell me another story! Do you like what you do?”
