COR Headquarters

[RyderHakubi]

Kanban nodded... "I've been ready for this for years now..."

[Dracos]

"Good.  Is there anything specific you want regarding your new form?"

Fearless leader

[RyderHakubi]

"Besides the obvious?  Well... not too much... I guess a should be a little less broad on my shoulders and my face should be a little more rounded... otherwise, I'm happy with what I've got..." Kanban thought after much interal deliberation over her already impressive bust

[Dracos]

"Acknowledged.  Please remove your clothes."

Fearless Leader

[RyderHakubi]

Kanban nodded and started to slowly strip, while on the lookout for other people that could potentially be in the room...

He's not that unmodest after all...

[Dracos]

The little Rei tapped her foot impatiently.  "Hurry up and take it off already.  There's no one here but me and you have nothing I haven't seen before."

Fearless Leader

[RyderHakubi]

Kanban shrugged and quickly completely disrobed...

"So, now what?"

[Dracos]

Rei points to a large cylinderical tube in the center of the room attached to all sorts of mechanized equipment.

"Please step inside Ms. Musumi.  This will be over quickly."

Fearless Leader

[RyderHakubi]

Kanban smiled at Rei and stepped inside, slightly shivering at the touch of his naked skin on the tube...

[Dracos]

The tube slammed shut after Kanban entered.

 The little Rei stepped over to a keyboard and began tapping away.  The tube lit up as it began filling with some strange transculant liquid.

Meanwhile, elsewhere in the base...

X wandered aimlessly through the halls, his armored boots clanging against the metalic floors. In his hands were what seemed to be slightly crumpled directions.

Bloody brilliant. The most advanced CPU of my generation, and I can't even figure out these blasted directions, he thought in annoyance as he turned another corner. "I knew I should have taken that left turn at the cafeteria."

Coming to a door, he glanced up at the name slot next to it. "Kind Fearless Leader?" he worded, blinking slowly. "Must be the boss's office. Well, I suppose this is as good an opportunity as any," he mumbled, knocking on the door.

[Dracos]

Glancing at a panel on the side, Dracos got up from the system he was working on, bidding adieu to Rei.

"Open door."  The door slid open revealing X.  "Hello Commander X.  You are a bit early.  The meeting prior to your deployment isn't until tommorow morning."  Quirking his head at X, Dracos narrowed his eyes.  "but you look troubled friend.  What is it?"

Fearless Leader

[RyderHakubi]

Kanban held her breath as the liquid started to creep up the tube, with a panicked look on his face...

[Dracos]

The liquid continued to creep up, covering more and more of Kanban's form, seeming not to be slowing at all.

Rei seemed unconcerned as she typed away at her keyboard, paying not the least attention to Kanban.

Fearless Leader

[Shukuen]

"I suggest you start calling me Aten. It will lessen the confusion of the troops," X replied, removing his trademark helmet and brushing back his brown, synthetic hair. "And I just got lost in thought, not to mention lost in your halls." He chuckled slightly. "Then again, I suppose teleporting just about everywhere can do that to one's own directional sense."

Sitting down in one of the nearby chairs, X glanced at Dracos. "By the way, I looked over your files like you suggested and noticed there seem to be another X and Zero duo down on earth." He raised his eyebrow, commenting, "You've been quite busy since we last met, haven't you, comrade?"
