Generation Legacy Issue #7 "Innocence Lost" - Part 1

[Hammerhead]

"That's nice," Ryan says absently as he paces back and forth across the room, a grim expression on his face.

"It's not McCallister...and I know he isn't a Pantheon spy." Ryan is thinking out loud.

"But why would the UN accuse him of being such? Either he's being framed, or the UN is lying about him on purpose. But why would they do that?"

 

[Karl Green]

James watches Ryan pace, thinking about who could the spy, but he has no clue and thinks it is better not to mutter things up more by just throwing out half baked theories (as all of James are ). Plus the fact that thinking isn't he strength... but then what is? Moving people around? Today is not the best day of James life...

"If McCallister's the spy, he's gone now," Anika says, sitting in a chair, a shower and some clean clothes not doing much to energize her or cheer her up. "And if not...there's no point in sitting around here trying to guess. We don't have much to go on."

She gets up and walks over to Star. "Thinking of Tommy?" she asks, looking out the window. "I can't believe him and Kelly are gone. It's not fair, what did they ever do to anyone?" she says, sniffling, too tired to hold her emotions back.

 

[Hammerhead]

"I think we do. Today, that spy cost some poor young woman her life. We need to do something about him," Ryan replies to Anika. Or her. Or it could be a whole group of them. I wonder if some kind of mind-reading inquisition would work...I don't like it, but hell, John and Sarah are already so damn cavalier about it anyway, so who cares? My mind isn't safe from their snooping at least. Jerks.

Frowning, Ryan rolls his eyes at Anika's statement. "Well, clearly, they did do something, otherwise Pantheon wouldn't have killed them. I wonder why they were together anyway?" Unlike Anika, Ryan does his best to keep his emotions in check, only letting small amounts of anger boil out, planning that rage for Black Heaven, Overseer, and the rest of his enemies.

She gets up and walks over to Star. "Thinking of Tommy?" she asks, looking out the window. "I can't believe him and Kelly are gone. It's not fair, what did they ever do to anyone?" she says, sniffling, too tired to hold her emotions back.

“It is hard to believe that he is dead, but one must accept he facts as they are presented that when one dies they are gone, and all that remains is a memory somewhere in my databanks, it is somewhat disconcerting. But,” she turns to Anika, “even more disconcerting is why one would fake their own death. I have analyzed the footage and following specific information I have on Tommy, it does not add up, or make sense. His keen intellect would have every angle covered hence why my databanks were wiped of any incriminating or sensitive information, information I have tried to reassemble.”

“I think Tommy is alive, trying to draw out any enemies he still believes are lurking in the wings. Perhaps you do not believe my conjectures, but it is the most logical hypothesis, I assure you. Tommy will be back,” she finishes.

Yoshi speaks to Ryan, “Dude I feel your pain but really what are we going to do, attack and harass all of the students like the Gestapo and just bully our way to the spy? You may enjoy being a jerk, a loner or whatever, but I like having friends. What we need is a proper headquarters, man. Hey Mark, you’re the leader why don’t you have the boys upstairs cough up the cash for a nice Legacy HQ in Europe somewhere, like Germany, I hear there are lots of hot chicks there.”

 

[Agamon]

Anika just arches an eyebrow at Star's speach, a sad look still on her face. "Fake his death? Is she having trouble coping? Doesn't sound like it."

She shakes her head and turns to the other conversation. "Anywhere but Germany, Mark. England, Italy, Russia, I hear Luxemburg is nice...hey, how about Sweden? I know of at least one hot chick form there," she says, managing a smile.

 

[KaintheSeeker]

Cassie is quiet and withdrawn during the ceremony, looking on it a bit like a much younger child. To those who know her, it seems like she's a bit confused at the whole thing and why she's feeling the way she is. She seems.. a bit lost.

"Yeah we know about that one, and she is defective," Yoshi replies with a smirk sitting up, "What is so bad about Germany, anyways?"

 

[Samnell]

For most of the day Mark just didn't think about Tommy. He couldn't with everything else going on. But with the debriefings over and adrenaline long since gone he just flopped into a chair not too far from Star at the window and stared down at his knees, still covered by the uniform he didn't have the energy to change. He couldn't even muster the strength to go find a pool.

Tommy was my best friend and it took me until he was dead to figure it out. He knew all about me. Star does, so he had to. But he didn't care. And now he's dead and I can't tell him how much that matters. He should say something to Star. Oh. Anika's there. Mark blinked back tears.

“I think Tommy is alive, trying to draw out any enemies he still believes are lurking in the wings. Perhaps you do not believe my conjectures, but it is the most logical hypothesis, I assure you. Tommy will be back,” she finishes.

"Are you sure?" Mark says, suddenly wide awake and hopeful.

 

[Tokiwong]

"Are you sure?" Mark says, suddenly wide awake and hopeful.

"It could just be the grief, if I am capable of feeling such an emotion but I want to believe that he had a plan in mind, that in some way he was prepared for that eventuality, I just can't bring myself to think that he is gone. It just does not make sense, it irks me, because it isn't logical for him to die. It's just," she pauses, "something in my databanks continues to nag at me, I can't place it, perhaps it is intuition. I don't know, I can't explain it, I wish I could, but he is alive, I just have to beleive that he is," Star replies to Mark.
