The defense of the Space Needle and the Vault went without a hitch. A few muties wondered by and took potshots, but they prose no real problem. Soon the Vanguard group left, though there was some tension. It seemed that Ginger had killed one of the locals inside, much to the displeasure of Bear. Archangel put her hand on her own weapons and readied herself for a mutiny, but it seemed that the situation was diffused before shots were fired. This would be the second time Bear nearly shot someone; the first time was due to the Golem's own immaturity, which is thinly justified, but for why he did so against Ginger not so much. If what he said was true, the "girl" had already been exposed to the FEV. The fact that she was found living was more surprising than the fact that she was killed. Either way the scenes was over, and soon Wraith flew down to pick them up. Their mission was done, and how it was time to head back to HQ.

She had expected to ride strait towards HQ, but Deathstroke had them land near the apartment where the behemoth was killed. Archangel herself decided to use this time to reprogram the robots she managed to activate; they would now begin to head towards one of the Enclave's outpost to be picked up, assuming they aren't destroyed. She doubt that any wastelander would have the knowledge to extract any worthwhile data, and even if they did, they would only find a town that the Enclave has authority over. the new frequency she put them on should help label them as Enclave tech once they reach the right hands. Soon after, Deathstroke returned with Phoenix's dog tag. Archangel looked down, noticing she still had his sword. Though it would be best to give it to someone who'd put it to good use, she felt that as one of Phoenix's weapon, it should go with during the burial. [b]"This was his too, Deathstroke."[/b] Archangel gave the captain the sword, and sat the rest of the ride in silence.

Than it was back to base. She had to admit, though she had no love for the Enclave, the compound was likely more well armed and defensible than the vault ever could be, and it's mostly above ground. Heavily armed and armored soldiers patrolled the walls, armed with state-of-the-art energy weapons. from her little window on the Vertibird, she spotted a few fools who had recently tried to get to the compound, splattered a few miles out. Why anyone would try to infiltrate the compound is beyond her. She she understood that some people hated the Enclave, but there was no need to be stupid about it. Archangel pushed out those thoughts once they landed, greeted by the armed personnel.

Back at the base, where Archangel is known as Lucy, they were told to go see the president of the Enclave. The smell of food wafted through the air, a pleasant change from the cold and grim of supermutants. But before they could feast, they had to meet the president. With a little research she had learned about the past presidents of the Enclave, including that one strange Eden fellow somewhere to the south. But unlike the past presidents who allowed their personnel protect them, this one looked more dangerous than the towering giants armed with Gatling lasers. Something about him told Lucy that any assassins going after him would have a difficult time putting a bullet into his head, not that she had any plans to do it herself. Her thoughts were actually distracted with the [i]deathclaw in the command center.[/i] Granted, after getting over the initial shock, she did notice a lot of restraining devices on him, as well as a gaudy Periwinkle vest. For a moment, Lucy looked to the others and silently asked them if they were seeing what she was seeing. Everyone seemed to notice, so she just stayed silent as the president spoke.

The president congratulated the Eagle Claw for their mission success and sympathized for the lost of Icarus. He than introduced two new members of Eagle Claws, the Deathclaw and someone who looked like a Cyborg. They were Leinhart Roosevelt and Dimitri Romanov respectively. She still was wary of the deathclaw, but the cyborg did not come so much as a surprise since she knew many with mechanical augments, though the third arm was new. After the introductions were over, the Eagle Claw was free to spend the rest of their day as they wished and was dismissed. Andrew and Whisper went to go eat, and Lucy was feeling peckish herself. But instead of heading to the dinning hall she simply said her goodbyes and headed towards the robotics department.

Prior to leaving on the mission, Lucy had commissioned a Eyebot for herself. Initially it was a standard propaganda model, but after some research into their robotics division, she discovered the work of a Dr. Whitley and his model of eyebots. She aimed to create on of similar design, using a powerarmor hull and an enhanced laser weapon. The difficulty came that there was some time before she could obtain a base model of an eyebot, not to mention that she was going to need to do the entire construction herself; most of the other scientist have no interest in her little pet project, and like Whitley before her, not many saw the value of a combat eyebot when the materials could go to use into making power armor instead. But using her own resources and credits she brought what she needed, so they allowed her to go about her business so long as it didn't do anything to disturb the others. Once at her workshop, the first thing she did was make herself a pot of coffee. Than she went to work.
