Tokyo Metroplex, Japan 0227am : Kasei Industries Headquarters
Samantha Jarred awake, feeling a Red Queen Node apparently fail, after noting a intruder alert. She walked from her bed, stopping at the tug of the data cables attached to her neck, disconnecting them harshly, then walking across the apartment to her office, holding her hand up and activating the screens in her sanctum.
The screens came alive, pulling information from the mainframes that resided nearly 80 stories below.
RQ1: You're up early, Samantha
Yes Red Queen....I am....now, which Node just dropped off?
The machine created a holographic image for itself, and walked across the office.
' I don't think you want to know, Samantha...You informed me as such on a number of occasions.
That right there told her all she needed to know.
"What happened to 127, number 1?" she says, staring at the holographic version of herself, colored in red.'
The holo frowned, and sighed, looking away for Samantha.
" She went offline after a massive pressure and Heat spike. most probable cause: Detonation of explosives, high order. '
The woman took this information in, and went through her apartment, dressing out, and picking up a case. " Red Queen 1, have 3 strike frames readied, and a security detachment placed on alert. " she says, to the phantasm that follows in the form of Red Queen #1. " I faked the destruction of the Lab in midian so everyone would leave it alone when I didn't need it....but NO...someone decided to take it up on themselves to fuck with things they had a better life not fucking with..." she nearly yells at the hologram. " I gave the lab's main floor to Ashagai to keep it quiet. It seems that I need to start making calls...before I leave. " She says, having dressed in her 'Sunday best'.
Kasei Industries Defense Research Testing Facility #4, Hokkaido, Japan: 1330:
The Conventional Wisdom is that the best weapon is the one you never have to fire. I prefer the weapon you only have to fire once, and fire first. That's how the emperor had done it, against Hawaii, in the opening moves of the Second World war. The only error His Majesty did, was not pushing the advantage he created. Today, I present to you the newest in Kasei Defense Research Line of weapons systems. Find an excuse to let one platoon of 5 mechs armed with these, off the chain, and I personally guarantee, That sector pacification times will drop to within 12 minutes per average city block. " she pauses as a Tank rumbles into view, looking like a metal sphinx. a moment or two later, a mech with a shoulder mounted cannon drops to one knee, and fires, the round destroying the tank's side armor and blowing 2 of it's tread arms off.
" For your consideration, ladies and gentlemen....The Newest KDR has to offer....The K-10 'metal Siren' Assault Frame, and the M220 120mm Pryolite cannon. " she says, before leaving the podium, letting her handlers conduct the sales.
RQ1: The K-10Bs are in transfer crates, and a security detachment is on the pad at Hokkaido. Transit time will be 18 minutes to the trans-pacific transport, then another 2 hours to Seattle, where the transport will drop you to continue on towards Midian.
"thank you Red....Nothing inspires forgiveness quite like revenge."
