An Inside Job
“Oh how they grow.” Anderson sat forward in his chair. “You know doctor that little project of ours has become quite beautiful. Some might even say shes even more attractive than the original.”

Teira stormed forward, slamming his fist into the desk; “Don’t you ever speak of her in such a way again. She is far more than some little project for you people.

Anderson calmly rose from his seat to face Teira eye to eye. “For one so brilliant doctor you are such a fool. You see Alpha 01, or Aoi, as you so affectionately call her is an experimental clone with nanites swimming through every cell in her body. She is not your daughter. She is a nothing more than a combination of tissue from that stupid girl i killed all those years ago and your guilty conscience trying to bring her back to life. So you see doctor at her very essence Aoi is nothing more than some little project. Actually I take that back, she is a project that has been testing exceptionally well and because of that the brass has agreed to go all ahead full with the project.”

“How could they agree to go forward I haven’t finished the research the other subjects have failed. You can’t forced the nanites into fully developed soldiers, there bodies reject them every time. Aoi was a special case we gave her the treatment due to complications with the cloning of the already degenerated DNA used to create her.

Anderson stood and walked towards the door.“There you go again with your utter stupidity. This facility house dozens of scientist devoted to caring out this project. Your research is being tested in ways you couldn’t even imagine. The fact is your little Aoi was just a stepping stone in the process. My watch dog program means that strike forces will be more efficiently utilized. We’ve found a way to bind the nanites with adults and its just a matter of time before we can put them into action.” Anderson stopped and turned to Teira before crossing the threshold; “Its endgame doctor. Say goodbye to Alpha O1. I’ll be back for her within the hour.

In a facility somewhere in the deserts outside of Las Vegas, the clock ticks by as Dr. Teira sits at a computer terminal in a sterile looking office. The only thing that stands out at his desk is crudely drawn picture of a young girl holding the hand of her father. Just as he checks his watch for what seems like the hundredth time, the door swings opens and Teira’s head shoots up to catch sight of a small girls run through.

“Daddy, daddy I’m done for the day can we go play now?” Teira knelt down and with a huge smile on his face he hugged his daughter. A rush of relief washed over him to see her again. He could barley stand to let her leave everyday, and now her sessions were getting longer and longer. Angry with himself for having to let her go Teira stood up but to his surprise there was a man standing in the doorway.

“Captian Anderson,” Teira could barley hold back his disgust; “What are you doing her.”

“Oh doctor please drop the formality you’ve known me as Marcus for sometime; besides it's Lieutenant Colonel now.”

“What do you mean Lt. Colonel?” He asked with disbelief; but Teira knew exactly why. The time had finally come for there show down and Anderson had made the first move.

Anderson started towards the desk, but before he took Teira’s seat he picked up the drawing of the doctor and his daughter and chuckled to himself. “I think it would be for the best if you sent little miss Kusanagi off somewhere to entertain herself. You and I have quite a bit to talk about.”

Teira had already thought the same and was already sending his daughter off. “Okay, Aoi, honey, daddy has to talk to this man for a while so go back to our quarters and wait for me there.

“But you said we could go play now.”
“I know honey, but you know how it is with daddies work. I promise as soon as I’m done here I'll come straight home and I'll give you a big hug and a bowl of ice cream.”

Teira could see her smile reach ear to ear.” Okay daddy. Love you.” and with a kiss on the cheek she ran of down the facility hallway.

Personal History
Aoi is the clone on Mikaru Kusanagi, a former lab assistant of Dr.Teira. It would seem that her creation was merely a way to quell his guilty conscience over Mikaru’s death; but in all actuality Teira has much bigger plans for her. Due to complications with the cloning process Aoi’s DNA was sheathed with a layer of nanites to correct its imperfections. It was later found that the process left her with a great amount of control over the nanites within her body. Teira was allowed to keep watch over her and managed to give her as much of a normal up bringing as possible, but because of her talents she spent much of her childhood in testing. One the day she was to be taken away from him Teira managed to destroy the testing lab they were held in and escape into hiding.

Personality
Smart, sassy and sometimes combative. Aoi has developed these characteristics after spending half of her life in hiding with an over protective father. She has always had him to protect her but now she feels she has the chance to prove she can take care of herself. Her aggressive nature is of putting to most but those who can get close to her, like Teira, will see that she would rather be laughing and living the childhood she never fully achieved.

General Data
Aoi’s way of dressing is less of a fashion statement but more of an extension of her attitude and an expression of the freedom she has. The only practical piece of her wardrobe is her jacket. It contains specialized versions of the nanites within her DNA and it caters to her ability to manipulate their production. It serves as a flack jacket able to withstand small ballistics and utilizes a partial form of the Dynames’ full shield. While fully active the nanites in her body and the specialized ones stored within the jacket combine to form the Dynames power armor around her. This union gives her greater control over the sits function and increased response in its actions.



An Inside Job
2273

A USMP unit carries out a night op in a derelict office building.

As they search the building they leave in there wake over turned desk and documents thrown to the floor, and trampled over by waves of soldiers hurrying to carry out there task.

“Confiscate everything. We must make an example of this Dr. Teira. The machines he builds here are being used against the government that fights to protect his well-being, while all he can do is whine about our brutality.”

“Captain Anderson we’ve found the research team in a hidden laboratory.”
“Did you find any PAs with them.”
“No sir; they were trying to destroy the remaining data.”
“That means they’re trying to hide something. Good job, drag them outside and burn it down...We’re done here.”
“Yes sir.”

~

Anderson basked in the glow of the raging inferno the engulfed the office building before him. “Line them up facing the building. I want them to watch there work burn; and to know that they are powerless to stop it. I want them to know that all that they have, can and will be taken from them if they do not follow our will.”

“You fool. Does the USMP really think that stopping our research will quell this uprising. You people have incited a civil war and your desire for power only fuels our resolve to overthrow you.”

A thin smirk crosses Captain Anderson’s face; “Dr. Teira, you are mistaken. We don’t intend to stop your research. To the contrary we intend for you to build better more advanced models; but the will be put into service for the USMP.”

“Why the hell would you think that I would carry out such a task.”

“Its simple doctor. If you don’t I will execute all of your workers and there families; beginning with her.” Anderson pointed to a young female lab assistant and his men immediately drug her forward, dropping her at there commanders feet. Anderson fired a round from his service pistol intentionally missing the young girl, but he then pressed the sering hot muzzle to the girls forehead. “Now doctor what is your answer?”

“Kusanagi!” Teira yelled out in fear. He’d never intended for his actions to effect his workers or at least he never thought he would play a hand in there suffering first hand. He had always felt a sense of relief that he had no living relatives in the country; but now a wave of guilt rushed over him. In one fell swoop he had destroyed countless lives. Just then the lab assistant spoke out over her own tears.

”Don’t do it Dr. Teira our families will suffer either way. The military shows no sympathy for its people and they will never.....”

Her words were cut short as the butt of a pistol made contact with her cheek, followed by three shots from Anderson; leaving her body lifeless on the ground.

The doctor ran forward to hold the girl but it was to late the blow to the head was enough to silence her and the three rounds made it certain that she would never speak out against the USMP ever again.

“Stupid, useless girl.” Captian Anderson adjusted his uniform, stepped towards Dr. Teira and yelled... “NOW WHAT IS YOUR ANSWER?”
