Aquatium
I have been waiting to speak to the Oracle for a while, to get some more wisdom and guidance since the last time we met. I fear something is going to happen so, little did I know how soon. I recieved a urgent transmission from Tyndall while I monitered the Debir district.
Aquatium
I made my way quickly to the meeting location, Ghost arrived shortly and he debriefed me on the current situation.
Aquatium
Oh no, I hope Seraph is ok, though I'm sure he can handle himself.
I can imagine the chaos currently around, we need to get control and fast. We must scan the areas.. I...
Ghost
There's no time to waste; the Oracle could be in danger. I'll be in touch later.
Aquatium
On my way Ghost.
Aquatium
I recieved the co-ordinaties and arrived to secure the area, I saw 2 Blackwood gang members and was about to fire when they were quick to explain their side.
Blackwood Killer
Hey, don't shoot! We want Sati back just as much as you do! Sunrises are gonna go to hell if she isn't around! Here, I'll help you.
Aquatium
Help? Seems like you could be in on this little operation thats happened...
Blackwood Killer
You kidding me? Everyone in Mara looks out for Sati. We didn't know that Thallia was using us as a distraction for the General to do this... Let me come with you. I feel like taking out my frustrations on some of these Merv bastards.
Aquatium
The Blackwoods teamed up with me, a rare site. We quickly had attacks from Merovingian's Exiles and together took care of them.
Lupine Scrapper
Where's the fortune teller?
Aquatium
How about I tell you when to die... like now!
Blackwood Killer
Poor little Sati...
Blackwood Killer
*CENSORED* it! The General is gonna pay for this!
Aquatium
He will.
I updated Tyndall on my progress and the feedback from the Blackwoods.
Aquatium
Oh good to know, I hope she is ok. However she must have seen this coming, what is it leading too.
I made my way to the secure area, anxious to hear what the Oracle had to say.
Aquatium
Yea, she was like a mother to Sati, just like she it to us all.
The Oracle was there, with Niobe and other Zion operatives.
Zion Gunslinger
This sucks. This totally, totally sucks. This just really...
Zion Despoiler
I never got to meet Seraph. Now I wonder if I'll ever get the chance...
Aquatium
I doubt this is the end of him, Seraph is a strong program.
The Oracle
You can't win without losing, dear--you wouldn't properly appreciate it. 'Course I saw it coming. Some things have just gotta happen a certain way, kiddo.
Now, I wish you all would stop running around here pointing guns everywhere. Feel like I'm gonna get my blamed head taken off.
Aquatium
She's cryptic as ever, I wonder what she see's, what we will "win" from this loss. Same old Oracle, at least thats a good thing.
Niobe
I should have known that she'd know that... Oh, never mind.
I can't convince her to leave with us, but at least the neighborhood seems to be calming down a bit. We're going to have guards around this whole area 24/7. We can't take any chances without Seraph here to protect her.
Aquatium
We can have controlled patrols and scan's of the area, we must be vigilant.
The Oracle
You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough. You worry about Sati, not about an old ruin like me. I'll be just fine.
Oh, my. It's not going to be the same without them around. No offense, honey, but a body gets used to certain people.
Niobe! Girl, now what'd I tell you about boots on my carpet?
Niobe
I have a feeling that straightening all this out isn't going to be easy.
Aquatium
The meeting was over and I made my way out and updated Tyndall.
Aquatium
I arrived to the meeting with Niobe and Ghost, hoping to get a clear understanding of what our plans are next.
Zion Physician
It's Aquatium.
Zion Upgrade Artist
Yo, whatever. What's all this got to do with the Machines, and getting people out of the pods? You know what? Nothing. It's just a...distraction, that's what it is. Oh Sati, boo-hoo! Pfft.
Ghost
The Oracle knew that this would happen, but she gave no warning. And presumably, she knows what will happen next, but she hasn't told us that, either. If we choose to believe that the Oracle has mankind's best interests at heart, we might interpret her silence as...reassuring. But maybe it depends on how much silence you can take.
Aquatium
I've always believed she has our interests at heart, I hope we see where this will lead us sooner rather than later. With all the friction about this is another situation that will only cause more concerns for us. What is our plan of action now?
Niobe
Job one is making sure the Oracle's safe. We can expect the General, the Merv, and basically every nutcase with a god complex to try to get to her with Seraph gone. She won't leave Mara, so we'll just have to secure the neighborhood as best we can.
Job two is getting Sati back. I don't even know where we're going to start on that yet--or Seraph, for that matter.
*CENSORED* that son-of-a-*CENSORED* General. If he thinks we're going to go easy on him because we worked with him before the Machines ran him out, he's dead wrong.
Ghost
Continuing along that line of reasoning, the General's abduction of Sati, or what results from it, at any rate, must be a good thing.
Seems strange, doesn't it? Nobody ever said believing was easy.
Niobe
I used to think the Oracle was full of it. Then I found out she wasn't, and I wished I could see what she saw. Now... I don't know. I think it would drive me crazy.
Aquatium
The gift she has, or whatever you want to call it, it must be hard to know what will happen and make the choices she has. Knowing the destinty of ppl unfold is a powerful thing and how its used it even more power. I hope we get Sati and Seraph back safe. The General better watch his back.
Aquatium
We will monitor Mara carefully and try to get tracking on Sati's location and see if we can find anything about Seraph after he fell from the helicopter.
The General is now a priority target, as well as keeping an eye on the Merovingian, without Seraph about I hope he doesn't think it will be open season on Oracle.
