She got up and walked to the exit. As she did, she tossed her wine glass to the floor, letting it shatter, before slipping out. Torii sighed as well. "I believe that she was still curious as to why the city refused aid, and even funding for its own police force. However, previous points made in the discussion answered those questions. As for just now...well...."
She ran out and got Katya back. After a minute, she brought her sibling inside again and let her take a seat. Torii then started cleaning up the mess.

"It's understandable," Minerva said as if there hadn't been a break in conversation. She ordered Katya a new glass of wine.
"They aren't asking for aid. They're simply offering to hire us for a specific job."

Urran wrote:Yuri nodded in agreement to Minerva's statement. "Yes, thank you Torii. You and Bran have shown me that there are good and bad in every nation. Not all communists are genocidal maniacs that want to kill me and all of my people. Thank you for helping me change.,,,but I still do not fully trust you." she smiled.
Swith Witherward wrote:Urran wrote:"The don't" said Yuri to Torii. "They are not forcing you into anything."
"Exactly," Minerva nodded. "Torii, some people here won't want to do it. No harm. Klaus and I are extremely limited in what we can do because we already do some of it. We'd not say no to pay every now and then. You see, we don't get paid at all for what we do."
She began to chuckle and she looked at Klaus. "Not a penny. All that planning, all the defenses we put in place, all the months of surveillance on the Drones. The war against Yellow King. Even before that. The minor things. We were never paid and most of you don't realize how much effort we put into it. No one offered us a dime, and we wouldn't take it at this point. But no one ever said, 'Thanks Minerva' or 'Thanks Klaus'. People seldom say 'Thanks Bran' and 'Thanks Neil'. Well, from the bottom of my heart, thank you Katya and Torsii, for all you've done for all of us. You might not realize how much you've done, but you've done it and done it well."
She laughed and gave both girls a sincere smile.

Tieria huffed. "I do not have moral problems, unless I am killing someone completely innocent."
"I don't think people have to violate their own morals although, in a sense, some of us have to adopt few. Some of us would." She chuckled as her eyes flitted to Klaus and then Tipper and Volturius.
"Yes, you and I and Klaus are Chaos, Volturius," she continued. "But we're set up differently than in the timeline you came from. We're more hands on here, and not as a force that destroys. Our work today builds the emotional energy that fashions the future. Mankind must be protected at this stage in history because, without him, you and the rest would never come into being. The damned space elves would rule the universe."
She turned her attention to Fortu. "No. My papers are authentic. Nearly every member of my faction here holds dual citizenship. We started doing that when the city asked us to step in to plan against the Drones. Even Tipper and Volturius here have visas."
Minerva closed her eyes and then stood up. "Katya, whatever bullshit you're muttering about... it's distracting. Say your piece and then be at peace, or get the fuck out. I couldn't stand it when the French sat on their asses and did nothing but grouse before Hitler began to roll over them. If you don't voice your objections clearly, don't come crying to me when the city screws you over."
"Quod Vult, Valde Valt"
Excuse me, sir. Seeing as how the V.P. is such a V.I.P., shouldn't we keep the P.C. on the Q.T.? 'Cause if it leaks to the V.C. he could end up M.I.A., and then we'd all be put out in K.P.

Torii sighed and calmed down a bit. "Okay....but what about how they admitted to watching us? I'm definitely not going to forgive that."
Katya nodded. "It's creepy and downright evil."

Torii sighed and calmed down a bit. "Okay....but what about how they admitted to watching us? I'm definitely not going to forgive that."
Katya nodded. "It's creepy and downright evil."
"We watch you." There wasn't any apology in Minerva's voice, nor any threat. "Ever since we learned that the Drones could replicate people, we've taken to making sure people are okay. It sounds creepy, and it can be... we don't sit in your laundry hamper and watch you bathe, for example... but if anything were to happen to you or your sister, we'd be the first to know. We won't tolerate the Drones harming people like they did. Not again. It's wrong of them to abuse friends like that. It was wrong of them to kill Rachelle's parents. It was wrong of them to take over Bran and Fortu's bodies. So we watch. That's how we know when you're feeling down. Haven't you ever wondered how it is that we pop up just when you need someone in your corner?"
Minerva sighed. "That said, we don't provide details to anyone. We don't have anything to gain by knowing Neil's favorite color, except that a Drone replicant won't know it. You all know the exact moment D-Day happened. If you go back in time, you'd have to sit on that information and not abuse it. That's what we do. We watch. We protect. We inform you so you can take steps to protect your own nations, like the last invasion."
She looked at her teacup and shook her head. "The Chaos Space Marine you see here. His name is Volturius. He comes from a time when Mankind is at a brutal crossroads. His time period doesn't reflect what we... the cultists you know, such as Will or Hans, or Klaus and I... it doesn't reflect our pantheon's attitude agenda during our current time period. We were all humans once, and we know how bitter it is to see friends suffer and die."

Katya was getting nervous again. If they were watching her when she had her laptop....
"Then I guess it wouldn't be a surprise if another nation, not so far away, was watching us as well?"

"We're aware of the Innovators, Tieria," Minerva sighed. "We wouldn't have been but for the fact that you were taken over by Gen for a few minutes in front of our employer."
She looked back to Torii. "We honestly don't watch what people do in their apartments. I don't want to know what some of you do behind your bedroom doors." She giggled a bit. "And I don't want to even know what Neil keeps in his house!"
She shrugged and signaled the barkeep for more tea. "We have to always assume that other nations are watching and plotting. It's part of life. It's a game. Some nations play it well. Some fail, and epically. Some things cause nations to be more watchful. We keep a very close eye on the BranRiech and your own nation, Katya, because your two nations exploded into a territory grab that cause a lot of other nations to be wary. That was right before the last Drone invasion."

Neil said. "We'll provide technology and medical care. But we are not walking up to an attacking abomination and attacking it." Gretta added.
"I made a vow to do no harm. If the city needs prosthetics, organs, or me to crack a computer, I'll be happy to help and get paid for it." Fortu said.
"Myself and Nevvie, are willing to be consultants and can fight. We are taking the deal." Arthur said.
"I reject it on the principal of it, and I have no reason to. And we all should be wearing Tele-Kill Alloy on our heads to keep them from...nothing because they would already know that." NVE said disappointed at his peers. They probably already knew about their invasion plans. He then thought of how Tele-Kill Alloy should protect circuits from technopaths if modified properly, he'd have to research that.
