The Inventory
"You would?" Koishi perked up a little. "Thanks."
"Ey, almost everyone's here." Marisa called out from above, and the people in question came down. There was the bulbous knight Pontius, his Sword and nigh impenetrable shield on his back. To his side was the mercenary simply known as Salvador, his arm muscles bulging. Then, there was the spirit Mima, who looked like she'd just gotten out of bed, and floating around her chest was what looked like a miniature version of herself. Finally, there was the rokurorubi Sekibanki, who looked similar to Mima in terms of grogginess.
"Kliener's at work with something, so he can't be here." Marisa explained. "So what is it?"
"Well, Chief here needs someone to play a support role to help a person." Koishi explained in very simple terms, looking at Mima.
"You want me?" Mima pointed to herself. "I wanted to blast undead into oblivion, not help people who can easily fend for themselves. No offense, John."

Sometimes when you're driving down a road, a bug hits your windshield. It's ugly and unpleasant, but you just activate the wipers / cleaning fluid and it's gone in a few seconds. It's just part of driving down the road. You don't dwell on it, because that'd be silly. Bugs aren't worth the time.
You just discard their guts and keep on driving.

Volgin sat down.
"I know what this is. Unless this place was an asylum. You really polished up, though. Mine looks... Stained."
In blood, yea.

"None taken.", John calmly said to Mima as he turned towards her.
"We actually need you because we need someone to fill a support role. We're fighting to fill fulfill the demands of an organization called the 'Institute of War'. They want to put a girl through a process called 'Repentance', which could possibly damage her mind. I managed to talk them into letting us perform the Repentance ritual, but first we need to fill in as replacements for absent and rogue combatants in some kind of deathmatch. If we do that, then we'll be able to keep her in Gensokyo and not have to worry about her being imprisoned.", John explained to Mima.
After speaking, John allowed Mima a couple of seconds to take in what he had said, and after the moment had passed, John spoke again.
"Now that you know the situation, would you be willing to help?", John asked Mima.

"We use a different process to extract information. Just don't do anything to set us off, and you'll be fine.", Daniel said to Volgin in a somewhat emotionless tone as Volgin entered the room and sat down.
After Volgin sat down, Daniel walked into the room and sat down in the reinforced steel chair sitting across the table from Volgin. After getting settled in, Daniel turned his attention to Volgin and spoke. Unlike all the other times Daniel spoke, this time he was emotionless, almost like a machine.
"Halsey will be with us in a moment, she has been notified of your presence, and before we can come to any resolution, she will need to be consulted first. In the meantime, I will ask you questions until she arrives. Now, why are you here?", Daniel asked Volgin in an emotionless tone.

Volgin raised an eyebrow.
"What, again? That's the third time!" He stated.
He let out a sigh and began. "I was sent as a representative of Neo-Yakuza Base 1 Leader of Operations, Alliances and Performance Leads. He would like to apologize for Albert Weskers independent actions and to form an alliance with the Prometheus Labs. I'll explain the details to the chief of the labs."
He sat back. "It's obvious why he sent me here instead of himself. He would be putting himself in a vulnerable position that he can't afford to take. As for why he sent me instead a grunt, well... I am a man of negotiation. Plus, those turrets of yours would shred a man. Luckily, I had a special 'technique' to stop the bullets from reaching me. And, after all... I used to be the leader of Base 2 Mech Technological R&D."
He gave a slight pause.
"... Does that answer your question?"

After Hearing Volgin speak about his abilities, Daniel lightly tilted his head and raised an eyebrow. Just by reading Volgin's profile, Daniel knew that Volgin was eeither lying, was arrogant, or simply didn't fully understand the base's defense systems.
"I was asking again because now we are officially asking you questions. The first two times was because we needed to know why you were here. As for your 'technique', you highly underestimate the turrets, and I know that you would know about the turrets. To be honest, we let that information leak so that we could deter any future attacks on The Labs.", Daniel calmly said to Volgin.

Volgin smirked.
"A smart move. And either way, the boss didn't want to risk anything, so he set me up with a bullet-proof forcefield. Blocks anything smaller than a finger. Obviously can't stop an entire man from walking up to you, but that is the technology we have. You want a look?"
He took out a rod and placed it on the table. It was thick, around an inch in diameter. It looked smoothe, but inside were many wires and gadgets. On the top was an antennae.
"Search it if you want, I don't care. Just know this: I'm walking into a high tech heavily secured research facility. What can I possibly gain out of hiding anything? If anything, I'd lose some."

"What's in it for me? I ain't abandoning this for nothing important." Mima said.
"Don't you have a heart for people, Mima?" Koishi added in.
"I do have a heart. It just stopped beating a looooong time ago." Mima replied.

Sniper groaned and put his hat over his face. Rengar gave a haughty laugh.
"Long time no see, lad. Come, have a seat. We were just about to discuss our next plan against the Neo-Yakuza." Rengar chuckled, motioning Snake to sit. "Since you have so much vendetta against them, I can trust you enough to let in on our plan."

"Ew. I have to work with her?" Reimu grunted, inaudible to Mima and John. "Whatever. Her bossiness has gone down past few years anyway."

John heard Mima say that she didn't have a heart, but what bothered him was her saying that their task was unimportant. Sure, John only knew Annie for a day, but keeping her safe was important to him. Not only did John feel that it was his duty, it was what was right. If Mima couldn't see why saving one life was so important, John would tell her why. After taking a moment to gather his thoughts, John spoke.
"This is important. This girl, Annie, just wants her freedom. She was tired of being in these games where she was controlled by a random summoner, killing people, and getting killed over and over again, just for entertainment, so she wanted out. After demonstrating that the summoners couldn't have complete control over the champions, Annie was hunted down, but she managed to escape. Now that she's here, the Institute of War wants to essentially imprison her, then put her through an excruciating process that could leave her mentally damaged for the rest of her life. Who knows what they will do to her after that? Maybe they'll kill her, make an example of her. This is not for excitement, this is much more important than that. This is to save a person from a terrible fate.", John explained to Mima in a calm, yet serious tone.

As Volgin explained his shielding system to Daniel, Daniel couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and frown inside of his helmet. Daniel knew for a fact that the size of a bullet didn't matter when it came to ballistics, mass and energy did. Daniel knew many cases where a small caliber bullet would pierce through six inches of reinforced steel, simply because it had enough mass and energy. In fact, he had seen some of the scientists even working on tiny caliber-based weaponry in an attempt to perfect Gauss-based weapon systems. After taking a moment to think about what Volgin had just said, as well as spending that time staring at the rod placed on the table, Daniel took the rod and examined it as he began to speak.
"With all due respect, then you don't fully understand your technology, or physics. What it comes down to is not the size of the bullet, but the mass and energy of the bullet. For example, I assure you that your shield system would not protect you from a 5.56 millimeter round traveling at even half the speed of light. For a more precise measurement, that is a .218 caliber round traveling 436,252.121 times faster than the speed of sound, totaling at about..... 451 quadrillion, 350 trillion Joules. I'm not sure even Hardlight could protect against that. Of course, the amount of energy needed to propel a bullet that fast would be obscene, but that could also be said about acquiring enough energy to protect against it. If what you're saying is true, then all I need to do is shoot you with a musket ball, or throw my gun at you, and those methods produce a pretty low amount of energy compared to the bullet traveling at half the speed of light."
"In short, the term 'bullet-proof' simply means 'bullet-resistant', and even if your shielding systems could protect against conventional firearms, it won't protect you against anything with a large enough force, or mass behind it. Even we don't have technology like that, and we're over 500 years ahead of you in that department.", Daniel calmly explained to Volgin as he examined the rod Volgin had placed on the table.

As Isaac, Rena, Ara, and Shadow continued to walk, Isaac noticed two globs of off-white, clay-like material on each wall beside them. As they passed by the globs of clay, Isaac noticed that each one had a pin sticking out of them.
(Why would anybody stick-), Isaac thought before he realized what it was.
"Hey guys, hang on. I know what this is. These are C-4 explosives.", Isaac said to the group as he approached one of the C-4 bricks stuck to the wall.

The side read, Simply press the button to the left and anything five inches in diameter and five feet in length will not reach five yards of you. Do not ask questions. Simply execute the mission you are assigned.
"I never really liked the man," Volgin said. The tone in his voice proves that this was the honest truth. "But the man is something else. I checked in with the leader of Base 5 Leader of Intelligence and Hacking in Africa who had similar questions towards just what he is. It took months, but we found out...... But I'd rather tell your chief the results. I'll let him decide whether or not to relay that information to you."
