Chapter 4: Darkened Minds
Back on Utopia, Lionel decided to head up to Anna's office and check in with her as her shift was over. He got to that floor and was greeted by Anna.
"S-Sir!" Anna said, stuttering a bit. "Don't do that!"
"Yeah, well I have a habit of appearing out of nowhere."
"Like that Lloyd fellow?"
"What? How did you-"
"Tons of news articles and Holotube theories. Honestly all of them are ridiculous....all except one...."
"Which is?"
"That he is older than he says." That was a lie. An extremely good one. She was actually thinking of another theory that he was once part of a long gone species once in the Federation.
"Well, 37 IS an oddly specific number..."
"Well, I dont wanna waste more time than I already have. See ya, sir."
"Sayonara, Anna."
Anna heads into the elevator next to Lionels. A couple of minutes later, Anna gets to her place, which is close by, and sets her stuff down. After that, she watches more videos on who or what Lloyd is.
Back over at Destructika, QLM-42 mechs were deployed out on the field, ready for the pirates to start charging in. And once they did, the mechs started firing away. Lloyd just simply watched from his office.
"Tronic, it's quite odd how people speculate things about me at Utopia. I've seen Holotube videos about me, and all except one is false: That I was once part of another race in the Federation. Until they discovered what only one of us could do to the Federation, after all, it's not like Lionel made EVERYONE forget about my race, some body has to know. And I think I know who."
"Allow me to guess, Anna?"
"Yes. Tomorrow once I return, I'll speak to Lionel about Anna."
