Cry

"So, what do we do?"

"Sir, I do not think there is something we can do."

Carter said to one of the civilian analytics that came to plan possible new trade between the USA and Solitas.

"What about the miraculous resources? The Dust or how it is named?"

Asked the military officer who had his head in the folders about the previous talks.

"That is another matter... If the Naquadah was supposed to be gold, then Dust would be platinum, as both could be equally game-changing resources, the sole minus is that Dust doesn't work outside of the atmosphere."

Carter said as she and others didn't know that the Dust Weiss gave them was purposely degraded to not work in space.

"I can see that... Very well, what about that device you brought? Did you find a way how it works?"

Asked representative Richard Woolsey who came to plan and overseer the next plan, how to deal with new possible partners who seemed to be on Tollana level of technology but were willing to trade with them.

"No, and for some time I do not think we even could, if you look on the fifty-eight pages, you can see images of the device called Scroll, the device is, be my words and others who looked at it, just Impossible, with big I, as it lacks any electronics or anything that could look like it, the entire device is made of crystal technology, completely different from Goauld crystal technology, or even the Asgard one, the screen of Scroll is not from any material, but a hard-light projector that was built into the Scroll somehow, how? We do not know as again, the entire thing is pure Crystal that somehow is capable of all functions of our computers and more so, there is nothing to reverse engineer, for there is nothing to separate or open, the entire device is one Crystal that somehow was build to serve as compact computer..."

Carter said with a tired sigh and little venom, as there was nothing as vexing as to not even understood how something worked, even stargates had a solid theory when they first started, this? This was one big unknown, all they knew was that it was built with Magitech, what it meant, they did not know...

The occupants of the room just nodded their heads as they read through the report and additional information from the people who were present on that place.

"What can you tell me about this princess? The Weiss Schnee? I can see that you spoke just with her, her supposed sister who looks too similar was mostly quiet and the middle-aged woman called Moira Vahlen was just speaking when called upon, so why don't you tell me what you think, Major?"

Woolsey asked as Carter blanched.

"Sir, I do not think im the best candidate to-"

"That isn't the point, I will ask others too, but now I want to hear your thoughts."

Carter sighed as she nodded and showed an image of a white-haired girl that made some men's eyes widen, even Woolsey's eyes widened...

"As you can see, she is beautiful... In truth, any person we saw there was too beautiful, the sole person who could be called normal was dr Moira Vahlen, and even she could be called model be our standards."

"Do you think plastic surgeries or some other way?"

One of the women asked as she looked at Carter.

"Truthfully? No, from what I could gather, and from the video they showed us, even the supposed villagers on the video were too good looking, what I think is that somehow the genetics of Remnant humans made them all top model type, at least women so, but another matter could be at play."

Carter said.

"Ah, yes, that Aura... Tell me do you believe in that thing?"

Woolsey asked with little scorn on his face, not even trying to believe in some magical phenomena.

"No... Yes... What I think is that rather than some Aura, or how they called it is in truth a Psionics, as there are multiple theories about that."

Carter said, and immediately saw how they wanted to ask again, and knew that the night would be a long one...

--------------------------

"Graaaaah!!!!"

Taylor punched the side of the building with her hands, making cracks on the walls as her hand was protected by Aura...

"Why?!"

Taylor said with tears as she remembered her conversation with Armmaster not even an hour ago.

She thought, she thought that she could speak with her hero, hell she had panties with his image, albeit old ones as she never dared to wear them, but still...

But no, rather than congratulate her on saving a woman from rape, he told her she used excessive force! That she seriously hurt the men she should just apprehend! That she rather should call for someone and not play on the streets!

Taylor was too stunned to be his words to even speak, to even make an attempt to defend herself from the hurtful words from someone she admired!

In truth, what she did was maybe immature as rather than stand her ground and speak about her actions, she ran away with tears, her body enhanced with aura making her inhumanly fast, but at that time all the things that ran through her mind was how, how could it end up like that...

--------------------------

"You did it again."

Said a woman's voice that sounded disappointed.

"I know."

Armmaster said through gritted teeth as he heard Dragon sigh again.

"Collin, this is not how an apology should go, why did you start the conversation with these words? Hell Collin! She saved that woman from being rapped and didn't even kill anybody! That for her first night is a tremendous accomplishment!"

Dragon said as she and Collin Walis, or be public know as Protectorate Hero Armmaster, spoke about how he should apologize to the poor girl who was tortured be one of the Wards who was under his command, something the moment Collin found made him seethe in rage as he immediately sends for Shadow Stalker to report Base and then apprehend her with electronic handcuffs to make sure she doesn't run from a further investigation that would be made in that rotten building that is called Winslow high school.

"I do not know! Somehow these words flew from my mouth."

Collin said as he sighed, he truly wanted to speak with the girl that was wronged because his mistake, Dragon told him that it wasn't his fault, but Collin knew better, he had Shadow Stalker, the Sophia Hess, under command, he should know what she was doing in her civilian life, but no, he believed in reports from Agent that had Hess under her, the same Agent who wanted easy and cushy job let Hess torture poor girl for an entire year and made her ultimately trigger, it was his fault, and Collin will let nobody tell him otherwise...

He wanted to apologize in the hospital but was not let inside the girl's room, and now? He again fucked it up, something that made him angry again...

"Collin..."

"No, no, Dragon, this is my mistake, I will take care of it... I... I just... Dragon, can you help me to speak with her? I do not think my usual approach would be enough..."

Collin said and Dragon smiled, she knew he was a good man, unfortunately, she knew that he wasn't good at socializing, something anybody who knew Armmaster even for a short time knew...

"Gladly, Collin, I would gladly help you."

Collin nodded his head, deep down he knew apology no matter how sincere, wasn't enough, no, not after what that girl lived through for an entire year, something that Collin found after using his lie detector on students and teachers of Winslow school faculty, he knew that wouldn't be enough for judge, but he wouldn't give up, he was owed to the girl he failed as a hero, he would apologize her with sending all these criminals that made her trigger to prison, or make them pay, for Collin hated when something was inefficient, and the entire Winslow was something that needed to be taken down...

Now, if he just found a way to speak with her without making her run crying...
