Priscilla Asagiri hunched over the grating. She looked around
impatiently as the laser cut through the think metal. "Damn governments.
It's below fuckin' freezing outside and they're making me do this."
The laser cut through the last bit of metal, Priss slipped the
remaining grating off, grabbed the laser and her backpack and slipped
inside one of the main air ducts of the Megatokyo Genom Tower.

Linna Yamazaki leaned back casually in Sylia's apartment. She
glanced over at Nene. "What's the matter with you?" Nene looked as
frightened as she could be, which actually made her look girlishly cute.
Linna hated Nene's looks. She could get anybody with that face of hers...
Nene Romanova stood and walked to the window. "Sylia pulled me out
of work at ADPolice. She never does that just to talk about a case. She
even called it a 'class one' meeting."
"So?" Linna picked up the picture of Sylia, Mackie, Dr. Stingray,
Dr. Haynes, and Dr. Yuri from the nearby desk. Strange that such a girl
like Sylia could turn out to be the cold, unimpressionable person she was
today.
Nene turned around, now looking serious. "The last time she called a
class one, the boomers revolted against the humans..."
Mackie Stingray walked in the door, while being a only a little
shorter than Sylia, he, like Nene, gave the impression he was younger
than he looked.
"Want some chips?" He munched loudly. Linna turned around to look at
him. "No. What are you doing here?"
"Sylia wanted me here." He sat down near Nene.
"Sylia WANTED you here? This IS getting strange." Linna joked. Nene
reached for some chips. Mackie pulled the bag away. "None for you. You
have to keep that figure." he joked.
"That's enough." Sylia Stingray entered the room. In a way, each of
the Knight Sabers saw what made her their leader. Her stature, her voice
that commanded respect, the way she carried herself, everything about her
seemed to say "Just do what I say, don't question my decisions."
She turned on the wall monitor. "We have a very important mission.
I've asked Mackie to join us specifically for this reason." She turned to
the screen. "British Inteligence MI-6 picked this up from the London
Genom Tower. It is a prototype that Genom is working on. It's called a
'phaser.' When all of the Earth governments learned of this, they wanted
it destroyed."
"What does it do?" Nene leaned forward, interested. This thing was
radically advanced.
"It speeds up all the molecules in an object."
"So, what good is that?" Tehcnical things were not Linna's area.
Sylia slammed her hand against a nearby table. "The reason my hand
does not pass through the table is because my molecules are bouncing off
the tables. With Genom's phaser, the molecules are accelerated so fast
that they can pass through things."
"So they are impervious to pain, this is basic stuff, Linna." Nene
smiled at her co-worker, she was a year younger and knew more about
everything than Linna. Except money, nobody could beat Linna in that.
"So they can use it to make invincible soliders?" Linna still wasn't
getting it.
"No, because the solider wouldn't be able to hit back, his molecules
would also go through the other persons." Mackie went over the the
mini-bar and got himself a Pepsi.
"Mackie's correct. What is can be used for is transportation." Sylia
sat down in a chair. "A person who can't feel any pain can pass right
through buildings, stone, even the center of the Earth without feeling
the least bit of a headache. A person could become phased, and, when they
reach their destination, become unphased. Travel from one side of the
Earth to the other could take milliseconds."
"So where do we come in? We blow up their little machine?"
"We have been hired by the U.N. Our job is to make sure they believe
it is impossible to make, otherwise they'll just keep building more for
every one we destroy. We are to have one built, sabotage it, and then
steal it after it doesn't work."
"Steal it? If they don't think it works, what's the point?"
"The U.N. is going to use it to finally destroy the Genom empire.
The government of each country will gain control of all the Genom
resources in that country."
"So what do we do?"
"Priss is already inside Genom Tower. Mackie, Nene, you two will be
two of the many scientists Genom is 'inviting' to this discussion. I've
already planted the false information. Linna and I will be outside the
Tower in case anything goes wrong."
Mackie, Linna, and Nene all looked around nerviously. Genom, the
U.N., phasers, they will all caught in the middle.
"How much are they giving us?" Linna smiled as Nene and Mackie
whined in protest.
"20 Billion a piece." Sylia said, her face showed no signs of
anything at all, as usual.
Mackie looked pleased. "When do we start?"
