(Ah.)
You see Matt and Ace (the friend that was with me at the very beginiing of this crazy mission) in the chopper. It lands in the middle of the roof, wind blowing like crazy. Zero heads to the chopper and gets on, and looks back waiting for Veritas. |

(Ah, I remember him/them.)
Veritas jogged after her, hopping in. Immediately, he strapped in. He took his new favorite book out of his pack, and began to read it from where he left off.
(Constant reading of everything possible has given him a natural photographic memory.) |

(Gtg in about 10 mins)
The helicopter flies remarkably fast back to base and they land in an underground hanger within in a few minutes. While Ace powers down the plane, Matt gets out and moves over to a locker, taking off his excess gear. Zero looks at Veritas and mutters "Let's hang back a little bit. Knowing him, he's probably fuming about our little disapearing act." |

(When will you be back?)
Veritas gave a quick nod to Zero, holding in the shaking of laughter in his shoulders. He leaned back in his seat, snapping the book closed and placing it back in his pack. |

Zero gets out of the helicopter and heads over to a locker, trading her HEROs jacket for a red and white hoodie. |

Hopping out after Zero, Veritas headed over to the lockers. He traded in his HERO gear, slipping on a pair of cargo pants, a white undershirt, steel toed boots, a pair of fingered combat gloves, and his old mask. He turned to Zero. |
|
|
"Let's get out of here a'fore the General wants a debrief. I think I might have to leave out a few aspects of our story..." Zero mutters, glancing back at Matt who's talking to Ace. Just then, Matt calls "You two, over here."
"Oh well." Zero says and walks over.
(If I don't reply it's probably cuz I had to leave for an appointment, so expect a reply in 30-45mins) |

(Mkay.)
Veritas obediently followed Zero, having no where else to go. His thoughts were elsewhere, such as those strange illusions, and how the Company had found them so easily. |

(And back)
"What the hell happened to you two?" Matt asked, an irritated tone to his voice.
"We ran into some trouble." Zero says, shrugging. "I musta radioed in fifty times while we were out there, both to you and base. Didn't hear a fricken thing. Our transmissions musta been blocked."
"Wait, what kind of trouble?"
"Uhm...The kind you don't want to get into. We met some Company personal. It looks like they have a base out there."
"Do you have any coridnates?"
"I put down a tracker. It should still be there." |

Veritas moved in between them, then looked between the two awkwardly. How was he going to explain that the tracker was probably gone with the buildings. He turned to Zero, cupped his hands together, then made a 'poof' motion. |
|
|
Zero stares at Veritas for a minute, then it dawns on her. "Yea, you're probably right. They've probably found it already. Guess we're out of luck."
"Alright then. Anything else?" Matt asks
"Nope." Zero says, not quite meeting his gaze.
"Hm. You sure?"
"Yea. There's nothing else."
Matt sighs "Alright then. If you two will excuse me, I have a report to file." He walks off.
Zero watches him go, and turns to Veritas "I don't think he needs to know about the illusions yet. Let's keep that to ourselves for now, eh?" |

Veritas nodded to Zero quickly. He searched the base for any area where he could pass the time, besides the library. |
|
|
There's a computer lab and training areas, as well as an arcadeish area. Zero leaves landing pad and heads off to her room. When she gets there, she locks the door and gets onto her computer, going into some database and reading documents. |

Veritas read the documents using his powers. He leaned against the wall, to the left of her door. |
|
|
Zero is in a Company database, looking at old records. She finds her own transfer record quickly, the one that they first created when she arrived at the testing labs.
Name: A**** ****
A/ge: 12
Gender: F
Number designation: 0000
Zero stared at the blacked out name for a long time, as she did many nights, trying to recall what it was. |

Veritas calmly read 'over her shoulder'. He kept his head lowered to the ground, with his arms and legs crossed. It made it seem as though he was sleeping against the wall. |
|
|
Zero closed the file and sighed. Perhaps it's time to move on...she thought, standing up. Not many people remember their true names after time with the company, and those that did hated it. Many had come up with new names to replace their numbers. Maybe it was time to do the same. She went over her door and unlocked it, and stepped out. |

Veritas lifted his head as the door opened. When Zero closed the door, she would see Veritas there. |
|
|
Zero shuts the door and looks at Veritas for a moment, a startled look on her face. She smiles slightly at him and walks the other way, toward the mess hall, guessing quickly at what he was probably doing. |
