"I don't know who you are, so if you're someone important, you have five seconds to let me know!" Rita shouted. "Gimme a good reason why I shouldn't just brain you right now!"
"I am Ninjacker, one of Haven's best scientists!" boasts Ninjacker. "And one of the only people who can help all of you right now."
"Oh really?" Rita asked sarcastically, not putting down her wrench. "I seriously doubt that. You have another five seconds to prove me wrong. Keep talking."
"A scientist from this factory?" Kaia asked Ninjacker. "So you aided in the construction of those missiles, I take it."

The jackal-headed Andy glared right at Ashbury. A third gold eye opens from his forehead.
"I walk the breadths of life and death...I am a guide of the innocent, and a judge of the guilty...I am called Andrew Canis, but know me by my true title: Anubis! And you...Maven Ashbury...are charged with the murder of the Bacaina Shrine!"

"Yes, I was in charge of their production." says Ninjacker. "And if you want proof..."
Ninjacker pulls out a canister and pours a silverly liquid from it--one that forms into the shape of a man.
"Could just anyone build nanites like these?"
...
"A tree cannot be 'murdered.'" says Ashbury calmly. "And our sources tell us there was hardly anyone in that area."

"!!!" Kaia got ready to fight if any trouble arose from this nanite construct.

"Look again," Andy said. "That tree was keeping something from escaping...and you just broke that shackle. Already, the destroyer's spawn, the Minils, are emerging. And they're about to finish what YOU started!"

"So, he can deactivate the missiles," Tempo said. "Advantage: us finally!"
"Okay, can he do it? Yes. Will he do it? Not so sure," Rita said. "How do even plan to 'help all of us right now'?"
------------------------
Cole decided that the path Andy was taking would lead somewhere important, but as he ran through the factory he kept an eye out for anyplace else that might look important. Eventually, up ahead he saw some kind of weird jackal creature staring down someone who looked like a military official. He had a hunch that they were probably the person in charge here.
Cole leaned up against the wall of the entrance to the room and listened to what was going on.

The nanite construct responds to Kaia's aggression by cowering.
"I have intention of deactivating those missiles, and that would really do little except slow Haven's war machine down and get me court martialed." says Ninjacker. "I can do a lot more good where I am right now, thank you--such as share with you all who I believe is really behind all of these recent troubles. But before I do that, I want you to go find your friends and get them out of here before they can cause anymore trouble. If you can accomplish that, I'll meet you at the Bot Bar--they don't usually let organics in there, but they like me and will give us some privacy."
...
"I have no idea what you're talking about with these 'Minils.'" says Ashbury. "Now I'll say it again: stand down. Or my men and I will open fire."

"...Alright. But let's be careful," Kaia said. "If he is at his true power, then calming him won't be so easy..."
-----
"Didn't I just say 'look again'?" Andy barked back. "Or is that too much trouble for you?! But if you really are intent on...shooting me...before I even attack, then go right ahead."

Rita considered what he said before continuing, "Fine, we'll believe you for now, but you better not screw us over."
"Okay, now you have me worried," Tempo said, looking at Kaia. What she just said was not a good sign of how things would go inside. He started making his way to the entrance. "Let's try to drag 'em out before things go crazy in there."
--------------------
Hearing what was going on in the room, it sounded like things would not be resolved very easily. Preparing for a fight to break out, Cole pulled his shield and folding rifle out of his bag, loading it with non-lethal rounds.

The nanite construct oozes back into Ninjacker's canister, and he nods to the trio before heading off for the Bot Bar.

"You broke into a high-security complex, and uttered some very threatening words to me." points out Ashbury. "Everyone in here is very well within their rights to shoot you. But fine; bring Bacaina Shrine onto the main screen."
One of the soldiers complies, the smoking crater that once was the shrine appearing on the large screen in the room.

Kaia went into the broken door, in pursuit of wherever Andy might be.

Black mist is still rising from where the large crystal key within used to be. The Lurker and the two mimics are also seen, as well as a few more of the monochrome bugs, Minils, emerging from the hole.

Outside, the blue-armored man was walking in the direction of Old Haven, where he heard a ruckus going on.
"Chaos..." he said. "Heh, there's a good sign."
"Chaos..." he said. "Heh, there's a good sign."
"...Registration card?" the man responded, rather annoyed. A faint puff of cold air emanated from between his helmet's jaws. "You mean those things for the 'freaks'?"
"The politically correct term is 'superpowered individuals', or 'superhuman', sir," said the officer.
"Well, I'm neither, so your law is useless on me. Now move it!" the man said, pushing the officer out of his way and proceeding onward.
"Jeez," said the officer to another officer that came over to check on him. "Rude."
The two officers continue on their patrol.
The two officers continue on their patrol.
The man paused for a moment, then spun around and aimed a gauntlet at the two officers. From the tube in it, he fired a hard jet of water into the officers, slamming them into whatever wall is in that direction.
"Heh, who knew a 'powerless' individual like me could be this tough?" the man chuckled. "Maybe you guys could learn a thing or two! Or not, as usual."
"Heh, who knew a 'powerless' individual like me could be this tough?" the man chuckled. "Maybe you guys could learn a thing or two! Or not, as usual."
Soon after the man assaults the police officers, sirens fill the air, followed by police cars filling the streets and surrounding the man. Multiple police officers step out of the vehicles, aiming guns at him.
"Police!" said the officers. "Put your hands in the air!"
"Police!" said the officers. "Put your hands in the air!"
"...Oh. You grew some balls after all," the man responded sarcastically. "Still, heh...all this over a couple of wet shirts?"
"How could we grow balls if we were only just now called here?" asked the police officer. "And 'all this' is over someone assaulting police officers. Last warning."
"Alright! Alright..." the man said, raising his hands over his head. "Input: maelstrom."
Suddenly, water shot out of his gauntlets and boots, swirling around and around into a large whirlpool (Leviathan Maelstrom). This sucked in the officers around him, ready to send them flying.

Cole made his way over to the entrance and peeked in while crouched low to lessen his chances of being seen. He took a look at the screen in the room, which showed what was presumably where the missile hit and the dark mess that was coming out of it.
What the heck is all this? Cole thought.
