Looking at Hans Samson quietly signed. Rubbing his brow he speaks "Alright, intending to stick around to test out new functions and modifications to Riese? Then follow me, it'll be better this way."
"The Omniverse is the collection of all possibilities, and all possibilities must eventually come to pass."Alphonse would have liked the opportunity to defende himself and other from Faith's accusations. And to think the other day he was playing videogames and watching animes with her. Now she was accusating him of not caring for others and attacking Summer. But he couldn't say a word, because his sister was trying to get up and he was holding her down.
"<<Let me go off your dumbass!>>" She yelled to him, even though they were communicating wirelessly.
"<<No! You are going to kill everyone!>>"
"<<Well, I was going to because I had no idea what was going on, but now I'm only going to kill whomever EMP'd me and that rogue pilot too.>>" Bethany replied.
"<<You aren't going to kill who EMP'd you, you are going to kill anyone you think EMP'd you until you get the right person. I'm not letting you kill anyone!>>" He answered agressively and proceeded to take control over the situation by forcing Bethany on the bed. She reacted by kicking him in his crotch and punching his face towards the wall.
One Week Later
Dan and Summer were finished on another session with their therapist. Things were working out well for both of them. Summer felt a lot more cheerful, smiling a lot and Dan felt more at peace.
The two arrived back at the SERVE HQ, inspecting their mechs. Summer worked the best she could on her break and got permission to pilot the Nexus-One again.
Dan had meanwhile went into the training field and practiced with his electric sword, decorated with pixelated art. He felt awesome.
Meanwhile in a meeting room with a massive table.
"Mr. Briggs I trust your squad is back in order. Especially Mr. Sully and Ms Turing?"
"I assure you sir. That both pilots have been regularly seeing their therapist and that Ms. Turing is very much ready to pilot the Nexus again." Nolan stated to one of the heads of SERVE.
"Good to hear, Nolan. I trust they'll be ready for the next monster attack. It's been a week since the last one."
"They will be ready and for whatever reason those beasts haven't attacked us yet. Well we will figure it out and stop them." Nolan said back, confident that things will be better this time.
Nothing to do for an entire week besides the usual. Since her sudden breakdown Faith had strange recurring dreams that devolved into nightmares. Sometimes the dream focused partially on her body, while others she was a bestial version of Solaris. All of these dreams inadvertently involved her going on a rampage, unable to stop herself from killing those she loved and unable to save herself. She had several check-ups over the week, and while having a higher-than-normal body temperature she didn't seem to be sick. Faith hated these dreams she was having. She was raised to be a pilot, and she'll be damned if she'll let meaningless dreams ruin the only thing she could do for father. Applying a lighter to the base of her neck this is what she's always been doing when she began doubting herself. Even if the fire barely hurt the scar itself would force her to get it together. Thus, she finally entered the shower while thinking "Having a son would be interesting."
Blushed off and even laughed at by the S.E.V.E.R council when he brought forth the very serious problem of withheld mecha information, they simply replied "What's Nolan doing to stop you? There's countless potential pilots and mechanoids created by S.E.R.V.E alone, surely Gerald the Corpse Digger shouldn't be scared of throwaway pawns." His fist slamming onto his table, Gerald hated that title. He's not a nameless young man stealing dead bodies anymore. Getting up and cracking his neck side to side Gerald noticed a picture frame face down on his dresser. Picking it up the glass cracked as he saw who were in the picture. Hurling it against the wall Gerald spoke to himself "Io lo ucciderà per te, basta aspettare." With his hands bandaged and cleaned today will be the alpha test of his latest mecha.
Its actually easier than one would think to steal from S.E.R.V.E. Since damaged yet still viable scrap gets dumped to be melted down its not hard for 'Mecha Doctors' to take scrap to study. Though he may be abusing that right nobody tried to stop him after four years of this. When he had to perform some check-ups on Nexus and Mexa Samson noticed some unusual construction. Nolan's practically blatant statement there's something special about them confirmed his suspicions, and Samson began to focus more on obtaining their scrap. Four years in the making Samson had been creating an unauthorized mecha. Since he had little skill in actual design what he constructed so far was a patchwork mess. Though the occasional function or partially operational equipment had a lot of time set for studying them to improve or ingrate together. So far the greatest part was what Samson dubbed the "Devil Matrix Rage Drive." In short, this allowed him to channel his anger, hatred, or burning manly passion through the integrated half-pilot suit to empower the mecha itself. Though why was Samson thinking to himself? Because watching Hans legitimately playing with a knife by stabbing it between his fingers was mind-boggling stupid.
"The Omniverse is the collection of all possibilities, and all possibilities must eventually come to pass."Dan had finished his training session and saw Samson thinking while ignoring Hans playing the knife game. Dan then walked up to him grinning as he said "What's up buddy? What have you been doing in the past week? I've been seeing you collect a lot of scraps from the mecha scrap yard."
Meanwhile...
Summer instantly ran in and grabbed the knife off Hans before he could stab himself.
"Are you ok? Playing the knife game is stupid especially for someone in your position." Summer said towards Hans managing to keep her calm.
Glaring and watching Hans/Summer his emerging train of thought was disrupted when Dan spoke. Turning to face him Samson speaks "What I normally do. Though, I do have this uneasy feeling. Its been eight days since the last Eldritchian attack, and from experience that isn't a good sign. Though what really has me uneasy is the fact the shipment of cloning material from S.E.R.V.E Bio Lab Beta hasn't arrived. You know of Solaris and Falchion's somewhat organic nature? It isn't easy creating replacement material, so we use cloning biotech to make replacements faster. Gerald had sent forth an order of more material six days ago, and it should of arrived in half that time."
"The Omniverse is the collection of all possibilities, and all possibilities must eventually come to pass."Dan was curious as he replied "Interesting. The eldritchians are bound to attack again with what might be an even more powerful monster but I think the squad could be ready. As for those cloning biotech parts, well I don't know there might be some shipping interference but they'll arrive eventually. Maybe today in fact."
Having finished her shower and dressed like a Gothic KH II Kairi Faith cheerfully headed towards the mecha bay. Though noticing Summer as she started descending the stairs Faith instinctively snarled. She didn't understand why, but just looking at Summer made her angry. Well, angrier than before anyways. She didn't remember what happened after she bit into Summer's hand, though Faith has the mental impression it must of tasted like streak as the girl was covered in bandages from bite marks. Oh well, if the space monsters hadn't sent in a new red shirt by now S.E.R.V.E must of won. Though thinking about it wasn't Paris damaged by something a couple of days ago? Being a S.E.R.V.E pilot she's used to cover-ups after all, so maybe there's rogue mecha or an awesome monster this time? Either way Faith bellowed "Hey you, Miss Twintails Summer, must suck you can't pilot. I bet today's the day something finally shows up!"

"The Omniverse is the collection of all possibilities, and all possibilities must eventually come to pass."Emil quietly shook his head and Hans' little game with the knife before giving Summer a silent nod of satisfaction at stopping the German. Honestly speaking, despite all the drama of the previous week; the following days were surprisingly uneventful and could even be called peaceful. But for someone like Emil, such peace was more often than not the calm before the coming storm; thus leading him to be fairly uppity... At least he got a new, more comfortable flight suit and some upgrades to his mech.
"Aside from that delivery, today will be uneventful again...."
Shameless Self-promotion ho!Akio and Hiroko were at the base already, looking at the Wild Falken, the two of them had been in complete silence for a while, both not being sure of what to say to the other, at least until Akio decided to break the silence.
"This is your mech, I've made some changes to it that I hope you'll like." said Akio, in an almost emotionless tone.
Hiroko just nodded, trying to avoid eye-contact with her brother.
Bethany had been angry the whole week. They arrested her for 5 days evewn though she did nothing. She was going to try and kill some people, but she couldn't, so they arrested her wrongly. And SERVE also took her gun away too. And that's horrible. All she could do was to try and destroy some of the furniture they had, increase their eletricity bill by plugging herself at a normal power socket and await until she had acess to her mecha to destroy some of the base. They'd only let her use it when the city would be under a monster attack. Good for them she wasn't in prison while a monster attack happened.
Meanwhile, Alphonse worried about his sister while she was in prison, mostly because she could try to hurt someone, about the girl he had played video games and watched animes with and the new pilot. So many stuff to worry about he didn't even know whom to talk to first! He cared about everyone, so he thought it would be better to keep an eye at his sister. He is currently sitting at the hangar looking at Bethany, with her creepy enraged eyes staring at the mechs in the distance.
Summer said back staying positive, "Let's try to be positive *grins* Maybe the monsters won't attack soon and we'll have some peace time."
Dan meanwhile sat down next to Samson, bored slightly.
"Hmmm what to do? Well I already trained with my mech a lot. Maybe I'll watch a movie or something. Hey Samson, does this all thing we're all in feel like some crazy anime? It sure does to me." Dan remarked with movie buff side coming out.
Looking at Dan as he exhaled, Samson spoke "Of course. There's the mysterious pasts floating everywhere, there's the mysterious secrets of Nexus and Mexa Nolan made blatantly obvious, and there's Faith dressing up in cosplay. Though speaking of, PR Director Melissa Winters has been working on an anime adaption of our lives. Barely met her in person, though she's quite friendly over the internet." Turning around to watch what'll happen Samson had been curious as to why Faith been keeping her distance from Summer. She should be angry, but she's never been afraid of anything before. Hell, she practically enjoyed being burned alive so Samson didn't understand why Faith was keeping her distance.
Faith, on the other hand, didn't want to go into another berserk rage. Despite this she didn't want to become friends with Summer, or even reach a truce. If that girl could make Faith fear for her mental sanity then she wanted Summer to breakdown instead. Mocking Summer visually with facial impressions Faith finished descending the stairs before calling out loudly "Hey guys, did you hear about Paris!? Apparently something happened there and it's all trashed!"
"The Omniverse is the collection of all possibilities, and all possibilities must eventually come to pass."Dan replied "Really? I'd love to meet this Melissa Winters. I could tell so many good stories. I wonder animation company is making it." Dan pondered on.
Summer heard Faith's statement and replied "What? Well if it's in Paris, shouldn't SERVE's French branch take care of it?"
Summer still felt iffy about Faith. She wanted to make up for their fight and hopefully be friends but thought Faith might still retain her bad personality. Summer thought not being friends people in your own squad isn't good but Faith just stayed away from her and nearly everyone else for that matter.

Cracking his neck side-to-side Samson replies "You need to ask what company would be animating this anime? With lives this messed up its only natural to have Gainax working on it." Both Faith and Samson looking at Hans Samson spoke "S.E.R.V.E France does have surrendering monkeys that eat cheese, true, but those are traps for people like you. Though, if something disastrous happened there they should be able to deal with it. If anything could take on their entire squad and survive that would be bad for us."
"The Omniverse is the collection of all possibilities, and all possibilities must eventually come to pass."Summer gave Hans an annoyed look as Dan laughed at Samson's reply "Gainax really? Well let's hope we get a good ending. *chuckles* Anyways."
Nolan walked in on the conversation noting "Our French branch is trying to take care of the threat, though whatever the monster is, it messed up our communication with them and we have no idea what exactly this Eldritchian is. I'll give you all more updates as it comes."
Dan then got up to Nolan "Hey Nolan?"
"Yes Dan." Nolan replied.
"Did you know Gainax was making an anime of our lives because of our PR Director?" Dan asked, still chuckling a bit inside.
"Yes I did. In fact I provided all the character info. Ms. Winters is taking very good care of it." Nolan answered, grinning in his head about how absurd the concept is.
Nolan then walked off and checked on Akio and Hiroko who were still looking at the Wild Falken, he could see the tension between them.
He then went to the nearby hangar and saw Alphonse looking at Bethany, with her creepy enraged eyes staring at the mechs in the distance.
Nolan then thought to himself She still must be pissed about being arrested. I wonder if she'll let it go before the next battle?

Dan looked towards Samson and smiled saying "I'm sorry mate. But it's been a long day and Summer's my good friend and after all this she's gonna need some company and while staying at this base 24/7 is a cool idea I'd much rather be home. I trust the Mexa-One and Nexus-One won't be tampered with."
Dan then walked off with Summer, playfully putting his arm around her neck as they walked out the HQ and went home.
