Krom wasn’t going to stand down, even if it was going to cost him. It was sensitive information and someone like Aito was unpredictable and obviously knew too much. If he went into this then everything could end up compromised and then everyone would be in trouble. Keeping his standing even if he was backing off he narrowed his gaze, still refusing to speak even if Aito dropped a fair point. The problem was he was still going to uphold his views that the project was too vital to compromise. He didn’t know if someone like Aito would want it shut down completely and would end up killing everything in sight thinking they were all insane and evil. Keeping his stance he was put on alert when Aito’s power started rising, his eyes going to his feet first before he raised his power only with him being more subtle about it. “Making him into something he was not meant to be is still the same as forcing a change into him! And what was he created for?? Just because you could? What makes the project different from what you did all those years ago??”

Shu didn’t know what to do with himself which probably didn’t help much to his inability to sit still, his eyes staring at Takeshi curiously before he squeaked. “Ooh! I think I know what it is! You no that good to hide things from me!” he spoke quickly, giggling, “Shu is smart, you know!” When he was not talking he was feeling something strange if a little unsettling, his eyes going to Takeshi before to the outside. “Ooh! What that? It weird feeling”, he spoke, not really sure what to make of it. It was a rather uneasy feeling and was not failing to make him feel strange, but problem was he didn’t really know what he was supposed to be alerted to despite it probably being something to be worried about.

T’charrl frowned, disliking how big came into correlation with mean in Haku’s book. He certainly didn’t think of his mother as a mean person just because she was big, for instance. Maybe that’s why he was seen as scary whenever he was big, but then again he didn’t know what he looked like when he was big either. Listening to Haku giving his thoughts on what he should do he frowned when there was an energy source from somewhere, his senses perking up but immediately he was disliking it. The energy was pretty negative, even if it felt like it came from a good source. It was energy like that which made him feel uncomfortable, even more so when he was still injured. “Outside…? I don’t know but I wouldn’t mind it if it stopped…”

Kai saw nothing wrong with teasing Kabocha a bit, seeing how he was being pretty picky when it came to his choice of girls. Regarding the state of their situation regarding the military he took it much more seriously, generally disliking where his life was going. It was full of uncertainty from this point on and even though they were with friends he didn’t know what the future held for any of them once it was all over. Frowning as Kabocha spoke he sighed lightly, shrugging a little. “I highly doubt one of us would ever be able to get power like that. We’re just grunts or at least the equivalent of that right now. We could never reach that kind of level”. Even if their conversation was important regarding their future neither of them could ignore what was going on outside. It felt like a fight was being started outside, but it was hardly something they should get involved with.

Viral had been fine and in a deep sleep by the time everything was starting up, but despite remaining asleep it was becoming disturbed as the energy started to affect him. He remained asleep but the dreamless sleep was soon invaded by the energy itself, like the energy was manifesting in a mental representation that was beginning to disturb him. It was the equivalent of a fever dream that was starting to happen as the energy continued to surge. He was unable to wake up from it yet, but it was sure making him feel terrible mentally and physically.
