Masaru could not help but smile as Garret walked him toward the supply closet. He spoke with such certainty; that was rare, in these chaotic times. He had already decided Masaru was 'coming back'. Still...Masaru had to admit...here he was, walking the halls of yet another Reformer base, escorted by yet another TSP-created Super. The irony was not lost on him.

He walked in silence for the moment, allowing Garret to fill him in on some of the recent goings-on. Cameron had not necessarily been a Boy Scout in his eyes, but it was good to know that something was amiss with him. Masaru allowed himself to imagine the continuance of their current timeline, had he not had that information. The places it took his mind were not pleasant.

Masaru decided not to correct Garret. It would only confuse their current issue and raise further questions. It was sometimes best to let people have their assumptions than to bog down progress with needless conflict. That was one of the primary principles in his study, after all. If it served his purpose, allowing Garret to believe he had returned, Masaru would not argue. There would be the eventual confrontation, naturally, but that was the future. Masaru lived in the present.

"Garret," Masaru finally said, softly, once there was an opening in the conversation. "I have come back for your missing team mates. It is vitally-important that you tell me everything you know about the two. What do they like? Where would they go, assuming there were no restrictions? Where were they last, and who were they last seen with?"

"I realize there has not been enough time to befriend these two, but you must know something. Any information you have can mean the difference between recovery and permanent loss."

He let that sink in as they approached the door which read, in giant block letters, [i]'Authorized Personnel Only'[/i]. This was the store room accessible only by trusted Reformers. This was the room in which the weapons were kept. While he awaited Garret's response -as well as his keycard- he allowed himself a moment of reflection. He was about to take up arms again. He was about to violate his vow of peace again.

Was it worth it?
