“Oh, come on Jack. You can have a few drinks when we get back to the apartment! But I didn’t fire-” <i>The side of Odysseus’ car suddenly explodes behind their car.</i>

A ringing sounds on Jack’s car, as a call goes through on the speaker phone. “Hello, Jack. You musn’t be so paranoid! I’ve been following you for the past three blocks. Like my new car? And sorry, but I installed surveillance in your car before I left. You must try to be nicer to Kika. These new recruits are delicate. And are you enjoying your cards, Rose?” Odysseus glances at the monitor. “An uprooted flower…? A tulip… Anyways, what are you guys up to now. Pizza? Or back to the apartment?”

Odysseus crawls out of some of the rubble left over at the Golden Lotus, grabs an unbroken bottle of Vodka, and takes a swig. He goes to the center of the room, where there is a giant circular insignia of a golden lotus, and pulls it up, revealing a secret hatch. Climbing down the ladder, he accesses a secret chamber and approaches a safe. Cracking it, he pulls a strange container, filled with oozing metallic rods. “Thanks for doing business, Kreed.” Odysseus climbs out of the room, placing the container in a black bag, and then walks over the bodies and broken glass towards the exit, stepping out into the rain and taking a final drink of the Vodka.

<i>Odysseus leaps up and out from behind the counter, wielding his electronic batons and taking down several guards, including with a Vac-Mine, creating a miniature vacuum to suck them all into a tight space and disorient them. Having corralled them properly, Odysseus pulls out a pistol and trains it on the huddled group of guards. </i>”Well, this didn’t go as planned.”

Odysseus wakes up in the middle of the Golden Lotus, concealed behind the bar with blood on his hands and fresh bullet holes in his armor. He peaks over the counter, seeing Kreed slumped over the table, a bullet hole in his head, and several armored figures approaching the bar. “Where are they?” Odysseus mutters, looking for Jack and his team expectantly.

Gunfire goes off inside the building.

Meanwhile, at the Golden Lotus…
Odysseus leans across the table, smiling at the man sitting across from him and expectantly eyeing the door. “Hello Kreed. I’m sorry that I’m late, but I had to stop by my apartment briefly before I arrived. Let’s get down to business.” Odysseus pulls out a number of blueprints, depicting the designs for certain OGA ships, and displays them as he speaks to Kreed, while sipping on a non-alcoholic vodka.

“Not a bad arsenal. Should need only two explosive grenades, some earpieces…” Odysseus begins<i> passing out the</i> equipment,<i> handing the two grenades to Gerald. </i>”Don’t drop these. Let’s see, one code index, and… I love these! Vac-Mines!” Odysseus glances at his pocket watch. “That should be all, but now I really need to go.” Odysseus’ hands are shaking quite badly now, as he steps out of the room.

“You have five minutes, and then I will need leave. This other matter is more urgent. Show me what you have.” Odysseus proceeds down the cooridor following Jack as his hands slightly twitch.

Odysseus glances at Kika for a moment, then glances down at his pocket watch as it begins to buzz quietly. “It seems that I have been called away on some business. Best of luck on your mission.” Odysseus begins to walk towards the door, and slips a piece of paper into Kika’s hands as he walks out.

“You know I don’t need any payment, Jack. Shall I handle interrogation, or technical concerns?” Odysseus pulls down a pair of goggles over his eyes, stands up, sheathes his dagger, puts on black gloves, adjusts his bow tie, and gets out his umbrella.

Odysseus pulls Jack aside. “You can’t expect me to lead these people, even in your place. I’m here to help when you need it. Not get attached.”

Odysseus pulls out some gauze from another compartment in his exoskeleton, and hands it to Rose. “The OGA, as you know, is an incredibly efficient, well-funded, and ruthless organization. One of the only ways to stop it is to create a united front. Mass rebellion. That’s what we can be: figureheads. Proof that the OGA can be taken down and eradicated. Their leader is essentially untouchable, however. No one has ever seen his face, nor do they know his identity, but he goes by the name of Ozymandias. His chief commander, however, named Midzog, might be more accessible.”

“I have no intention or need to fight her. We all know who the real enemy is, and that’s why we are here.” Odysseus leans back in his chair and glances out the window at the rain, his eyes flashing from blue to red for a moment.

Odysseus stops balancing his dagger, looks up, and raises an eyebrow at Kika. “Do you really want me to recite poetry at you? Or how many digits of pi would you like me to go to? Or how many ways to kill you would you like for me to calculate? Because I would say 37… With just my flask. My intelligence is fine. Superior, in fact.”
