[W-7.11, campsite.]
They take Maha to safety away from the city and from Jack's group that is searching for. To regroup and plan their actions.
Nexus and the group sit around a bonfire while Luna continues to check for any other wounds that Maha may have sustained from her escape from Jack and his gang.
when Horvath suddenly asks Maha.
Horvath: You still didn't say who "her" is?
Both Luna and Nexus turn their heads towards Maha, their gaze sharp and questioning for answers. while Maha looks at them unsure and unease. when she sighs resignedly. proceeding to give the information to them.
Maha: A woman... known as the Siren. She's got a gift.
Luna: What kind of gift?
Maha: She attracts monsters. All kinds.
Nexus: That's why Jack wants her.
Maha: He plans to use her as bait.
Horvath: For what?
ELIAN:
(shuddering)
To lure in the monsters and make them fight each other. Cause disturbance. If possible, attract the humans outside and the bloom. Destroying the city and escaping from it in the chaos.
Luna's expression darkened.
Nexus: That... is not a bad plan.
Luna and Horvath both turn towards Nexus, their gazes locking on him in silence.
Nexus: what?
Luna(angrily): We will stop that. understand.
Horvath: We will leave the city, Nexus. But not on the remains of our memories. We can't lose those after all that is lost.
Nexus: Okay, we need to find the Siren before Jack does.
Both Nexus and Horvath look at each other, their eyes flickering.
Horvath: Are you thinking the same thing?
Nexus: We can use her as bait, except only for Bloom.
Luna: and not destroy the city.
Maha: Wa-what?
Luna: Don't worry, we won't leave you to death; you will come with us.
Maha: But I don't know you, and I don't want to come with you. Siren's my only family. I won't allow you to use her as bait.
Both Luna and Horvath look at her with sympathy. Nexus looks at her, his eyes turning cold gradually.
Horvath: She's delusional.
Nexus: Looks like nobody is normal in this world.
Luna: Can't deny.
Maha: wa- What are you talking about? Why can't I understand?
Horvath moves forward, crouching down to her eyes. His gaze was staring into hers.
Horvath: Woman, you are poisoned, and that poison is gradual.
Maha's eyes go wide and start to tear up. tears falling. And she starts to choke. Horvath starts to stand up. Moving back while shaking his head with pity.
Nexus: Looks like she already knows. Just didn't want to believe it.
Luna looks at the crying Maha. Her gaze was sad and pitying.
Luna: Sometimes, hope is what kills people,not despair.
Nexus: the Siren's power is unpredictable. She's dangerous. We need to plan if we want to kill her or capture her.
Horvath: don't we still have her. She should have information about both of the.
Nexus: what do you need jacks information for?
Luna: ofcourse to kill him. You didn't think we would let him go right. He destroyed our base.
Nexus: yeah.
The group began forming a plan to locate the Siren, utilizing Maha's intelligence to stay one step ahead of Jack and kill him while hebis unaware of them. In one strike.
Luna: we need to move fast and silently. If we want to finish him off without alerting Vinnie and others.
Nexus: yeah I don't think they would be that much of an idiot. Leaving him hunt siren alone. After all they must know how dangerous the bloom is right.
Horvath and Luna look at each other. Their gaze weird and they appear to stiffle a laugh that escapes from their throat. Their shoulders appear to shake as they hold back their laughter.
Horvath: that I don't think they know the danger of the bloom.
Nexus: how? Why?
Luna: what dobyou except? They are a group a people who never set foot from the settlement and without even a little information about the outside.
Nexus: ugh.... Stupid humans.really. without even knowing a thing.
Horvath and Luna (together): yes.
Nexus: Their leader is not an idiot, is he?
[Abandoned factory,Near Bloom]
Vinnie: I am an Idiot...
Bose: We should do something boss, we already lost 2/5 of our forces. If we lose any more people..
Vinnie: there won't be any to attract the monsters attention.
The meeting room atmosphere becomes tense. The gravity of the situation now falling on everybody in the meeting room.
Making them understand their mistakes. Destroying the base and escaping to the outside without any intel and any plan.
Now they are stuck between a rock and a fire. Unable to return to the base or anywhere.
When suddenly Victor starts to talk to Vinnie. Making him jump in joy and relief
Victor: boss, we still have jack who is going to catch that woman.
Vinnie: Yes, we have her for bai-
When suddenly he starts roaring at everybody in the room.
Vinnie: find that idiot and tell him to catch her at any cost. I don't want a deadbody. I want herto use not look at a dead women and beat my meat. Even if she's beautiful.
Everybody in the room starts to scramble every where. Directing their minions to starts their vehicles and send the information to Jack.
Warning him to bring her back alive.
Vinnie: who was the idiot that decided to send that megalomaniac on such an important mission?
Only to see every body turn their eyes towards him. Remind him he was the one that sent him on the mission. Making him turn red in anger and continue roaring.
Vinnie: what are you looking at? Did you take of the things I just said?
Everybody: Yes boss.
And continue to door their work. Making Vinnie sigh exasperatedly.
Vinnie: I have to take care of everything, what a boss am I ?
Making Bose look at him mockingly, before walking away. Continuing his work.
Vinnie: wait, what is the meaning of that look? Bose!Bose..!
