Welcome to Gaia! ::

Mara:........ ::gives up and puts an ad on craigs list:: "looking for drinking partner must have legal name of kae broken"

Kae:: -calls her- You rang?

Mara: ;_______________________;

Kae:: -smirks- Miss me that much?

Mara: wanna hug you.... hugging phone istead
Mara: what do you think?

Kae:: I'm both flattered and slightly concerned
Kae:: -sips tea, laying on the beach-

Mara:so much hate::

Kae:: You could come with me..

Mara: I almost want to ask why ...but I am always concerning in some way or form
Mara:....HA!.....HAHA...::loks out the door:: HAHAHAHAHAHA.....

Kae:: ......
Kae:: Are you okay?
Kae:: You sound like you've lost your marbles...

Mara: ....... Quite possible. Are you okay though?

Kae:: Hahaha... as okay as someone who was tortured for 5 days, then almost had their arm sawn off can be....

Mara:...want revenge?

Kae:: -sighs- Well duh...
Kae:: That's kind of a given..

Mara: have a plan? I wanna join

Kae:: Once I have the use of my left arm again, sure...
Kae:: What's your plan?

Mara:takes a deep breath and lets it go:: I don't have one, which is why I asked you.

Kae:: Oh..

Mara:frowns faintly:: If you were thinking of taking revenge on SIU ...well it has been repossessed by Belrad and i'm the only old member. I am leading it in name, Alice's ghost is leading it through ...loyalties. 3 vs 1

Kae:: -laughs-

Mara:smirks faintly:: what?

Kae:: ....sounds like her... she's a pack leader honestly.. -sighs- I didn't want to take out my anger on SIU, only the person responsible for sending me to that horrid place, and obviously I have a lot of beef with Haven itself, not just for what they did to me... but what they did to Moira... my granddaughter.

Mara: I am assuming she was the purple haired one who was show in the video along with you?

Kae:: -sighs- ...yeah...

Mara: well my offer still stands. If you want help against them I don't mind helping on the downlow
Mara: and thanks for the warning about Alice...this will be fun

Kae:: haha... I'll keep that in mind..
Kae:: you're welcome... Oh, and dont make her mad... Just... Don't..

Mara: No promises there. She is on my turf and i'm not rolling over.

Kae:: hmm.. Curious.. Are you afraid of dogs?

Mara:laughs:: No

Kae: wolves?

Mara: No... I knew someone who.. never mind. Not real ones ...so it's a possibility. It still doesn't matter...metas are strange and if I let them walk over me then what is the point of me holding this position? Might as well have let Kage take over like he wanted.

Kae:: Mm.... Of course.
Kae:: It's hard standing your ground against her... she's stubborn as hell.. Trust me, I know.. But if you approach it with sense, she will understand.

Mara: So... treat her like I do Ree ::sighs::
Mara: That does help. Thank you

Kae:: I figured it would...
Kae:: And hey... don't sound some glum... I'm not out of the race. Just taking a pit stop to recover.. then I'll be back. Okay? Can you hold out until then?

Mara:....::laughs:: I sound that bad?
Mara:looks thoughtful:: I am ....not really counting on anything right now.
Mara: So going from you words this isn't a subtly worded request for rescue away from the renegades?

Kae:: -laughs- Oh, no. I'm already out from there... An old vacationing buddy came and got me... He's healing me and keeping out anyone who's looking for me at the moment... So really, I'm fine...
Kae:: -chuckles a bit- Okay, so... how about if things get too crazy, you text me....
Kae:: Maybe I'll make a bit of a speedier recovery if I have a bit more motivation... ha ha..

Mara:Good....Not sure how you managed that. Thinking about it don't really want to know, but do. Any problems if we still have to go after your "new friends?"

Kae:: Honestly, I don't care much about them... the only one I would remotely give the time of day is smart enough to get the hell out of dodge if things get too bad. So I'm not concerned. They are still terrorists. So what comes of it, is simply what comes of it.

Mara:snorts slight:: Can't blaming me wanting to know what kind of footing we were on. Also sorry for the fail rescue attempt...Tri freaked out when Moira punched you...other wise he would have waited for a better time ::sighs:: As for texting.... that sounds good..we are currently held at "almost crazy" for the past few days

Kae:: -sighs with a slight chuckle- I didn't know Tri was listening in... else I wouldn't have just taken the hit like that... I deserved it... But that's in the past now... It's fine. I learned that someone else was in the base that really messed with their powers bad.... she didn't mean to, she honestly doesn't know how to control them and there's a blurry line between subdue and severely cripple for her unfortunately. -sighs- How are they? Have you made contact with them?

Mara: So..that's what happened, which bounty? ::sounding a bit angry:: and yes...he teleported to Norcrest all the way from Aldas then nearly got himself shot by Asriel's Armor prototypes users. ::clenches her fist as touches her stomach and the mild pain that has never left:: Left with Ree and from what I heard tried to kill him and an EE member pretending to be hexxis before he regain his senses. Actually ....the whole thing has been a mess exactly from that point up until a few days ago.

Kae:: -sighs- I know it seems really odd of me to say... but it really wasn't her fault. Damn girl doesn't ever use her powers so she tends to go overboard when she's just trying to scare someone off... Honestly, with the way her powers work, I'm surprised either of them are alive after encountering her... -sighs again- I'm sorry that happened....

Mara:......Kae....which bounty

Kae:: ...Did you need.. help with anything? I know it's not really best I do anything in person, but I have a lot of tech at my hands here and a lab fully stocked to just about anything... I already have some experiments queued up..

Mara: I will have to send who is with me against the Renegades when ever they appear. I know people find them misunderstood, a mixture of innocence and deadly intention but the bottom line is that they are deadly even if it is uncontrolled. I need to know who that is so it doesn't happen again...you just said they were lucky to even be alive after encountering her. I don't want a repeat ...

Kae:: Mara... she left... She isn't renegade... She went back home to where she came from... She doesn't want to fight anyone, so you won't have to worry about encountering her... Besides, she has a kid now, the last thing she wants is to be joining renegade and fighting people. -sighs- She won't be a problem.

Mara: ......good. ::doesn't push it, just as long as she isn't a future trouble::

Kae:: Mm..

Mara: .... Sorry. To many things have happened lately. Thank you for offering me your help..anything you have that might work on regaining prior memories and or destroying Haven brain washing? short of therapy ::she said with a sigh not really expecting anything but no harm in trying::

Kae:: Ha haha oh boy... -sighs with exasperation- Nothing you'd like, so no not really...
Kae:: So who's forgotten this time...... -says with a twinge of worry-

Mara:....Hexxis
Mara: When Tri and Ree went to try and rescue you they got into a fight with Hexxis because it seems Ree made friends with her Malice...and wanted her to join them without her collar. They left her and she ran away. They been looking for her all this time. I found her by accident, she's a top ranking mercenary now... ::a pained laugh:: or was

Kae:: .... -sighs with exasperation-
Kae:: I don't even know what to say about that honestly... on one hand, I'm confused by her actions, but on the other hand, she seems to fall into what she was programmed to do... Be a weapon for hire... I just... Well... That's a thing I guess.. -awkward laugh- or was.

Mara: I'm slightly butt hurt from her grade but i'll survive I guess ::dramatic sigh before goes serious again as grabs the pillow and kind of just falls on it with the phone at her ear:: That was fine except she also had a partner... the you know...all-around-partner. ::there was a pause:: all-around in both sense of the words. ::she snorted::
She grew to a teen during that time. Tri didn't take it well, took it even worse finding out her partner....Ree also learned Hexxis's Malice also left and for some idiotic reason gave her a secret command to hunt down Zaku. Stopping her from walking took a bit of thinking ::a shifty glance to the side:: then we got into an argument and she broke. Now she is robot Hexxis your blank unfriendly neighborhood weapon. ::she let out a sigh:: that's it mostly.

Kae:: ...well, that certainly is a story, isn't it... Hmmm -shuffles around some things, knocks something over- ...s**t... hmmmm... -sighs- I don't know... That's tricky trying to fix her programming... since I don't know what exactly they did to her.. My solution is to do pretty much the same thing again but then program it differently in your favor... but this is me we're talking about... I'm not exactly ethical -shuffles some papers- So the malice split... That is a lot of things to consider... Hey... is the malice programmed too?? -sighs- Knowing Haven, she likely is... -makes a frustrated noise then grins- Ahh, wait, maybe there's a way to unsuppress all her memories... I don't exactly have test subjects to try it on, so it's a shot in the dark... I know I know, don't want to risk it... but I'll work on it anyway just in case it all goes to s**t, then there's at least something we can try after all.... Just a thought... A backup a plan, if you will.
Kae:: I'd... have to talk to my sister to make sure I'm doing it right... but together, she and I can create some pretty grand things... even if I hate her... -sighs- It helps she's a psychologist of sorts... hmmm...

Mara: Anything to help is better than nothing. I can't even bring Tri here to see if that jogs her memory or something. She isn't a computer... amnesia and that works sometimes. I guess... I have no idea. and yes...her Malice was programmed. ::a hint of anger then thoughtfulness:: If we can capture her malice can you test it on her?

Kae:: hahaha of course I can...
Kae:: Honestly, you might be on to something. Hexxis isn't a computer, so her not having memories would be.. uhh.. dissociative amnesia maybe? Forced, anyway. Causes the person to purposefully forget targeted events, information, consciousnesses, awareness, perception,... all that fun stuff. I mean, usually therapy fixes that since it's normally a mental illness. But this is conditioning and reprogramming, so the memories have to still be there. Familiarity is a string that unravels the whole process. Though, minds are fragile, so go easy on it, if she starts looking like she's gonna freak out or something, slow it down... I don't know... seemed to work with Alice actually. Despite the fact I hated Syth back then, I allowed them to hang out and she actually remembered quite a bit after that if not almost everything and it wasn't all too painful for her I don't think...
Kae:: Though, lots of alcohol aided on my end of things to ease the process I guess... -sighs- Either get her experience things with Tri, or things she did with you... or heck, whoever her partner was..... okay, maybe not that if they are the all-around-partner type... that's pretty shady honestly... But what do I know... I never did any of that mercenary stuff... not built for it, not that I ever cared...

Mara: Ugh.... familiar things not the greatest thing around here. Her cell in aldas...the infirmary... Tri.... oh hm. Hot chocolate ...and she did make his jacket. So bring her around those things that might help her remember. That might work hm... I could try a video chat with Tri but until we get this legal battle with Haven out of the way she is still in danger. ::sounds thoughtful then snorts:: Yes lets not... mercenary stuff isn't that bad it just depends in what direction you go with it and who you team up. Solo, teams or companies. I was with a company, we did more of the hunting part than intel. ::there with a hint of pain in her voice:: Eh, either ways I think T-.... s**t..... shitshitshit. ::there was a pause as she closed her eyes:: The merc that took you to the Renegades. That guy is her partner now. Is was.... I don't freaking know.

Kae:: ...Zephyr???

Mara: yea that's his name

Kae:: ...you're kidding me... -sounds annoyed-

Mara: Tri warned her away and she went directly to him

Kae:: Wh-.. How?
Kae:: -audibly facepalms- Are you serious? That.. makes no sense...
Kae:: ....I just... yeah.. none of that makes any sense at all.

Mara: ::sighs:: I don't know Hexxis thought process.... I guess she wanted to be stronger? I don't know but she wasn't going to come back to us until I accidently found her. She did have an idea that there was a problem....

Kae:: Hmm...
Kae:: You think he's using her?... It seems too convenient... And I hardly believe she'd go against Tri like that... -sighs- Then again, you said she was a teen by then.. Maybe fighting, running away from home, pairing up with someone your father told you to stay away from... Ha ha... sounds pretty typical of a teenager...
Kae:: -sounds suddenly serious- ...but she isn't typical... so I'd be concerned on what happened there.... Something happened... It had to of for her to suddenly act out like that...

Mara: ...ha....haha. Yea get together the guy who works with Haven when that company is trying to look for you. Yea I wouldn't be surprised at all that he is using her...especially if she had a high score in the merc test. He seems like an opportunist and has the skills to woe a poor girl just learning to figure out emotions. Problem is her old self is -really- attached. you know the whole I love you but he likely doesn't?

Kae:: ......
Kae:: uhm.. yeah.. I get that.. -takes a deep breath- Don't know how to help you there... Save from forbidding her to see him if she remembers...

Mara:shrugs:: Nah ...if she pushes to much Tri will let her go. Then kill the guy if he dumps her

Kae:: Then again, who knows... she might just be all like "but daddy I love him" and run away... -makes gagging noises-

Mara: or that.
Mara: ewww

Kae:: Wow, really? Tri would just let her go like that... to some shady Haven mercenary...

Mara::..... While she is like this no.

Kae:: Mm.

Mara: he doesn't exactly know how to handle her....them. He can't even handle Ree really ..
Mara: ... but really I don't know. I would likely shoot him for touching my daughter ...but that is -me-

Kae:: I don't know.. aren't you her owner ,makes her kinda like your daughter... I say shoot him -grins-

Mara: either ways, she had a reason...something she couldn't say. I wasn't there until the end. so I don't kno- ..... Kae my goodness are you telling me to shoot someone?

Kae:: -laughs-

Mara: I could almost think you're flirting..almost ::snorts::

Kae:: no.

Mara: kidding..... kidding kae kidding ::snickers::

Kae:: I will hang up right now .

Mara: you're not manly enough for me
Mara:laughs::

Kae:: -rolls her eyes and sighs a bit- Have any idea what she was trying to say?

Mara: No because from what Tri told me she couldn't say. I haven't talked to him since a day or so ago so ..he might have something new. ::calming down::
Mara: I could give you his number... ::yes trusting her enough with this...freaking heck just missed talking with her. Yep needs more friends...saner friends::

Kae:: I see...
Kae:: ...hmm.. sure..
Kae:: I'll see what I can gather from him, the more information on the situation, the clearer the solution will become...

Mara: Yes.... ::gives her the number:: State your name when it seems like it connected.

Kae:: Mm.

Mara:...... ::frowns:: random...but which arm was injured? and how much maneuverability do you have with it currently?

Kae:: Left arm. Saw down to the where the bone starts. Hurts like a b***h to move it, but it's getting better. I can at least... move it. Which is a good sign, I suppose.

Mara: what the heck..... torture? ::she frowned and shook hr head:: can you move your fingers?

Kae:: Surprisingly not torture.. It was experimentation.. They were going to replace it with something else it seemed... -sighs- ...Yeah, I can move my fingers.

Mara;.....why were they experimenting on you when the most valuable thing is your sunny disposition? oh and your brain

Kae:: -shifts a bit uneasily then sighs- Because they thought they got all they could from me... -frowns- ...so all that was left was to experiment on me... it wasn't the only thing they did... but that was what they were doing when... -sighs- ...Honestly, for whatever reason, Zephyr did save me... Even though he was the one that tortured me for 5 days... -makes frustrated noises-

Mara: ... do you think that maybe it was planned? that they think they got what they needed from you then used you for something else... because that sounds pretty stupid even for haven. Maybe they needed Zeph to be buddy buds with the Renegades....quite a few powerful metas there, then betray them.

Mara: did you check yourself for chips?

Kae:: I don't know, it was kind of a blur... I just remember being in a lot of pain, then him teleporting me out then putting me to sleep. Waking up in a renegade base, then getting punched back into unconsciousness...

Mara: or if they added a mental suggestion to return.....
Mara: ah....... then I am not making things better.

Kae:: ahh, I do not have any chips. I checked... As for mental suggestions, they didn't do anything of the subliminal kind... Have a strong enough mind to know... Just standard torture with questions... Then experimenting on me, trying to harness powers, make me use the ******** alter, take my damn arm... -grumbles-

Mara: My opinion of Haven dropped...from a professional standpoint. ...sorry.... but alter? you're not a meta...

Kae:: ...wait, okay they had that thing get in my head... s**t.... Okay maybe I'm not so sure anymore about the subliminal stuff... Ugggghh

Mara: ... thing?

Kae: uh... Yeah... thing.

Mara: If I were to compare said thing to something... I would descript it as a...

Kae:: It was... A girl I guess.. But only a part of it... The rest of it was... I don't know... Like 30 incomplete corpses sewn together then melted like candle wax.....

Mara: so the nearly dead version of the human centipeade

Kae:: ha.. Haha.. Maybe? More like if jabba the hut was literally a mass of dead bodies stuck together like gummy bears on a really hot day...

Mara:snorts:: pizza the hut...

Kae:: Im not too entirely sure I didn't hallucinate it though....

Mara: ...so this thing went into your mind despite your resistance?

Kae:: Yeah... It did. Like a screwdriver to the brain... It hurt a lot...

Mara: ....... damn it..
Mara: so you might want to work on that experiment to recover memories.... asap...
Mara: not only for hexxis but for yourself.
Mara: it's blurry because your mind is doing that to..protect you right? ..meaning that the actual memory is still there. I assume. I have no clue

Kae:: -sighs- I don't know... It just felt like... It was taking things out not putting anything in... They just wanted information... Either way, I'll work on that thing for memory... Give me peace of mind anyway.

Mara: do you still need the malice?

Kae:: Yeah sure... Can use her to test it...

Kae:; anyway... I should get going and clean up the mess I made because it eats through the table... I will keep in touch...

Mara: I will try to get her then. once last thing
Mara: want to be my beta tester?

Kae:: hmm?
Kae:: for what?

Mara: with your arm I need something tested. shouldn't harm you.. but everything else...strength graduation is iffy
Mara: armor piece

Kae:: hmm sure...sounds like fun... Let me know when I should drop by...

Mara: now or any time. or send someone to pick it up. just don't take it apart ...

Kae:: ...Oh that's like telling me not to open Christmas presents before 6am... Ha ha... Okay, I won't. I'll have to see when I can get there... But I will let you know..

Mara: okay then. have fun talking with Tri... hah and take care :sounds worried::

Kae:: ...you too..
