Despite the rather significant milestone of starting their pro-Meta crusade, the Underground Headquarters was rather quiet and dull. EDGE, leader of the Underground Movement, had opted to take the assignment alone and outside of Nancy's shambling drones, nobody else was permitted to join in. This left the majority of the Underground stuck inside their headquarters with not much to do other than twiddle their thumbs and listen to the sparse updates of their absent leader. In order to pass the time, Ellen Bowers and Isaac Grimes sat just around the corner of a tiny office that Nancy liked to hold up in. The both of them knew that she would likely be the first to receive any information on the account that she had "eyes" in the field.

It was all ruefully boring and in Ellen's opinion, a "complete waste of time". If the decision were left up to her, she'd go straight at their opposition without all the need for these scare tactics and propaganda actions. Of course she expressed her disinterest in their current situation by complaining a lot, which would probably drive anyone to a bitter annoyance but Isaac was a very patient man and the fact that Ellen wasn't openly repulsed fueled a romantic fantasy that interpreted the situation very favorable. 

The moment EDGE's comment came in from Nancy's radio, confirming his mission had been carried out, did Ellen finally quit complaining about boredom and start complaining about something else. "Holy shit! Way to go! It is over! We can finally all celebrate a victory!" She threw her hands up in a sarcastic celebration before returning to her leaning on the wall. Her conversational partner, Isaac merely sat in silence and watched. "Seriously, who the fuck cares if we killed a bunch of asshole cultists. Nobody really cared about them before so why would they now?" Ellen said aloud, not really wanting a response to her rhetorical question.

"I think it is better that they are gone. They hated us." Isaac finally chimed in. His voice was hoarse and tired as if he had stayed up all night. Ellen rolled her eyes before dignifying that with a response. "So? They couldn't do shit to us if they tried. We are wasting time with this bullshit when we could just go after the people who can actually do something about us." Ellen came off as being short with Isaac but she was always a bitch and thus, Isaac was never really taken back by it.

The two of them sat in silence until they heard Sebastian storm into Nancy's office. "God, what a weird fuck." Ellen scoffed under her breath as she listened in to their conversation. Isaac breathed a short laugh as he didn't like Sebastian all that well. The man was in this for the wrong reason, he thought, and they shouldn't be rewarding psychosis or anything. 

As the neighboring conversation continued, Ellen and Isaac continued to listen in until finally Ellen spoke loud enough for Sebastian and Nancy to hear. "That's fucking dumb of you to say, Sebastian. Not all of us here get sexual pleasure from killing things like you do." She turned confidently came around the corner and leaned up by the doorway. "Its all about the money and power after this is all said and done. Edge is just a fucking idiot and is wasting time with pointless shit like this." Isaac came around the corner shortly after and hovered out in the hallway. He didn't agree with either Sebastian or Ellen. He believed it was all meant to be about ending this feud between Metas and Mundanes. The only way it would work is if EDGE got his ideal world, at least this is how Isaac saw it.
