As the team began to finish the operation and salvage what was useful, a few mysterious people discussed about something over some sort of network, far, far away, and undetected by anything at all...
A gentleman going by the username of 'S' messaged in reply to something, "This is not an optimal way to go about our objectives, V. I believe your age is beginning to show, and you should retire soon.". 'V', mildly miffed, responded like so, "S, shut your trap, even with your 'intellect' you just can't plan this subtly, and you know it. I'm too vital for this group, don't even imply I should 'retire'...". A maneuver for control from a man called N, "Now now, we have too much to discuss this meeting to spend our precious time on arguing. Please, allow some order, and let us discuss what we came here for. 'Howling Sands', who used to be active decades ago, has just resurfaced for another surge of activity... their current roster of NCM pilots and personnel is... perfect, for our objectives and requirements for the same. I believe, we should kill two birds with one stone, and eliminate this last rebel group, and acquire the individuals, 'Chiyome', 'Edoric', 'Eriko', 'Shinon', and 'Nine'."
Images of them were sent to the network for everyone to see. "Ohohoho, I remember the last one... What a waste of my money.", V disappointedly said. S rebuked, "Simpleton, what did you expect to happen? You can't artificially replicate the trait we desire. It's simply impossible. I've tried many times before, all of my attempts were failures. Failures." Just then, N assumed control, again. "Ahem, In any case! S, please, form the group you mentioned. I believe they'll be the best solution for this 'issue'. I trust, S, you have the best roster of personnel for this group from our donations, yes?" "Yes, N, I'm sending the list right now. Three individuals, while outnumbered, I believe with the advanced technologies available to us, they'll easily be able to do what we require of them." "Wonderous, when do you believe they should be operable?" "Within two weeks, N.". V, happily, "Glorious. I must admit I'm loving the sound of this, begin at once!". "I already am."
