As Bardock followed Lachesis and Phenom through the building he was being quiet as he analyzed his surroundings again. However Bardock's attention was quickly turned to Lachesis as once they entered the elevator, he heard her ask him what his home planet was like. To be honest... that made Bardock think a bit... mostly about his old allies. Other than the look on his face was a rather melancholy one.
"I wouldn't say much about it. Just imagine a planet filled with warriors like me. Many around my power, and just as many of far greater strength than I was. Saiyan's are warriors at heart, and always will be. Even though I'm probably one of the only few left in existence currently. We did have a standard hierarchy. The people of Planet Vegeta were ruled by King Vegeta. However above him was a monster... practically a demon... someone who was far stronger than even our strongest warriors on our planet. This... monster had us under constant watch. Unfortunately for us he must have gotten afraid of the potential power of the entire Saiyan race... and in turn decided to just wipe out all living Saiyan's. I tried to warn the rest of my people, but no one believed me. No one f***ing believed me..." Replied Bardock as the melancholy look on his face began to fade, and began to be replaced by a rather angered one. It was clear that talking about his planet, what it was like, and even what happened to it is a rather sensitive topic.
"I swear if I ever run into that bastard again I'll make him pay... even if it costs me my own damn life."

"Oh... well then. If you're going to help then why don't you start with... uh... geez everything is freaking automated these days that... OH WAIT I KNOW!!! Dave said as he quickly ran back around to his desk and began sifting through all the drawers in his desk before finally finding it. What 'it' was was some kind of form that was filled out with the words "IN CASE OF EMERGENCY"
"Okay here we go! I need you to take this to the Security Office 0-2A and hand this to one of the guys there. They told me not to do anything in situations like now, but I don't have the slightest clue as to why though. So yeah. Take this paper to the Security Office. Also they told me not to read it so I probably wouldn't read it either."

Lachesis frowned as Bardock revealed exactly what happened to his planet. It saddened her to hear that his race was too proud to hear his words. It struck an even heavier chord with her to know that his planet was destroyed because of it. She knew the pain of watching a planet die all too well, and she could tell just talking about it was making him upset, so she tried to comfort him the best way she knew how. She threw her arms around him in a great hug as the elevator began to ascend.
"I'm sorry, Bardock." She said, the sadness in her voice more than apparent, "Everyone here knows how you feel."
Within a few moments, the elevator cleared the interior of Heaven, showing a number of towers climbing high above the Atrium.
"Do you see those dark towers, Bardock? Those towers used to house around Five-hundred-thousand Angels, each. Every single darkened window you see is a snuffed out life. All at the hands of one of our own." Phenom said, staring out at the dark cityscape before him.
"There's only about a thousand of us left. There used to be around 10 billion humans on the surface of the Earth." Lachesis added.

Gaspard simply took the documents in his hand, utterly confused by the man whom was supposedly in charge of this settlement. He seemed rather clueless, though.
"Erm... Monsieur... Maybe you can direct me to this security office? I am not from around here, après tout."

Finished with her cleaning, Bryn got out of her quarters and noticed that the redhead was reading one of Asimov´s books "He would be amazed at how far robotics had gotten, but there have been many trials for it to be done" she said looking at herself. Runa nodded at that "Yeah, there have been errors, but there have been good improvements, with them" she closed the book and stretched her arms "How about we make a tour through this place?"
The bioroid nodded at that "Sure, let´s hope there is something good around, I´m tired of negativity, some happiness would be nice to have" she said as they got out of the ship and walked around the station

As the elevator was going up Bardock began to calm down a bit after taking a few deep breaths. Lachesis's hug though did make him slightly uncomofortable judging by the very faint yet slight blush and uncomfortable expression coming over his rather stern look. Bardock wasn't useful by this type of affection in any shape, way or form. So it isn't surprising as to why her hugging him would make him uncomfortable. However he did try to hide it as the elevator reach a section in which they could see large towers which were eerily dark.
Hearing that there is only a thousand people on this Heaven colony made him feel a little conflicted. I mean he feels sorry for these people, but at the same time he feels like he has it worse... for crying out loud to his knowledge he is one of the only couple Saiyan's left. If not THE last Saiyan in the universe... As such Bardock didn't know how to really respond...
"Only a thousand left? Well I guess compared to me you guys are pretty lucky..." Bardock replied in a rather melancholy tone as he just simply looked at the dark towers in the distance...

As Dave was getting ready to tidy up his office he groaned when he realized that Gaspard was still here.
"Aaaaah... you're still here? It's just outside the building and two building's across from here. Now can you please leave? I need my 'alone' time!" Dave replied as he quite literally went up and pushed Gaspard out of the office before slamming the door shut on him.
"Okay now bye! Now where are those laxatives I had..." Dave yelled from inside the now locked office.

"This place is too neutral" Bryn commented as they walked around the station, for what she could see, everyone had a job to do and followed orders, it was like a military base, but with some.. humanity. Yet there was still the thing that she also noticed, there was too much formality around here "What would make it even "better" would be that they follow things like a cult"
Runa was also curious about the place, in fact she was counting the people on the station, for such a huge place, it had less inhabitants than she expected "There is too few people too, and what about that dark tower over there? I feel bad just by looking at it" she said pointing at the dark tower. The bioroid glanced at it and could guess what it was thanks to her enhanced view "It has thousands of blackened windows instead of solid walls, and they are too.. small too"
"How about we investigate it? care for making a little shortcut for us?" the redhead asked and the green eyed one nodded taking her portal gun. She aimed it to one of the buildingwalls near the roofs and then fired. The yellow gate appeared on it and then opened as the blue one was fired to a wall close to them "Ready for a jump?" she asked and received her answer as Runa ran towards it and made a big leap into it.
When the engineer appeared on the other gate she saw the actual heigt of the ground bellow her, a normal person would scream of fear, but hers was of excitement as she landed with a roll on the roof of the building she aimed for. She was followed by Bryn who already prepared for the next jump "An interesting way of testing gravity" she was already enjoying this tests

"Lachesis, get off the poor guy. He's a warrior, he's probably uncomfortable." Phenom said as they continued to ascend.
"Uh... Sorry, Bardock." Lachesis said with a slight humph. She retracted her hug and reestablished a more refined posture, as they were drawing very near the Lords.
I hope you dont think we're looking for your sympathy, Bardock" Phenom said, "We're merely trying to empathize with you. Youre absolutely correct. We are extremely lucky. I wonder, however, how long our luck will last..."
The elevator rang out with a rather digital ding, notifying them that they had reached their destination. High above the Atrium was the Lords Lookout.

Phenom turned back towards the door and stepped out into a wide open room filled with monitors and holographic displays. A voice rang out.
"Enter, Guardian Angel Phenom Ortus and Guardian Angel Lachesis Montgomery." it said
"It appears the Angels have brought a guest with them. Is this the... 'Bardock'... of which your report spoke?" said another.
"To bring him to our Lookout is utterly irresponsible! What were you thinking!?" said a third.
"Now, now, their report clearly states that Bardock is more than capable of destroying planets. I'm sure a space station is nothing to him." said a fourth.
"Besides that, to even bring an outsider to Heaven... the Major must have been very impressed, and trusts him fully. I place my faith in his judgement." said a final voice.
"Yes, sirs, this is Bardock. And you are correct. I trust him completely." Phenom responded.
Lachesis began wandering around as she often did when visiting the Lords. "When are you guys gonna stop playing 'Big Bad Ominous Voices?' I told you we were bringing him with us. Just come out and introduce yourselves!"
A collective sigh could be heard from the back of the room. Lachesis was the only Angel who ever spoke so boldly to the Lords, and was also the only one with no patience for their particular dramatic flair.
"Literally everyone on this station has seen your faces. No use hiding them and acting all scary and junk."
"She's right, I suppose." said the first voice. Following his admittance, shuffling feet could be heard approaching. A few seconds later, five older men appeared, clad in something akin to Military Dress Uniforms. They collectively bowed their heads in greeting to the three.
"These are the leaders of our organization, Bardock." Phenom said, holding out his hand.

Getting closer to the tower, correction, towers, the bioroid now felt something bad in her stomach "This isn´t right, there is something bad in those towers" she said as they landed to the closest building to the black towers. Runa now could see the blackened windows and had many guesses "They don´t seem like anything close to something industrial, and there is nothing that makes them as a sort of monument, it feels like we are in front of a cemetery"
"Bryn just nodded and then her eyes widened "Wait, if those towers house corpses.." Her mind was already counting the windows if they were in fact coffins. "There are thousands of windows.." Runa was already using the building´s wall to go down followed by the bioroid as she landed and looked for a person until spotting a male "Excuse me, but what houses those towers?" she asked in a friendly manner, but her mind was scared for the possible answer.

The Angel looked up at the towers when the girl asked him about the towers.
"Oh, those monoliths... they don't house anything... least not anymore. Those used to be the quarters that housed our military. They're pretty empty nowadays."

As a response to Phenom's comment about them not asking for any sympathy, Bardock rolled his eyes, this time not saying anything. In fact he was rather quiet for most the entire time remaining in the elevator, only speaking up once the elevator reached it's destination.
"Bout damn time..." Bardock said surprisingly out of context, almost as though the entire conversation inside the elevator just... never happened...
Lords Lookout
As the elevator doors opened Bardock stepped out shortly behind Phenom and Lachesis. The room that they had entered was definitely large, and almost foreboding... especially with all those monitors and holographic displays. Reminds him of most of the communications towers back on his home planet that were used to communicate with Frieza and his army. That fact alone made him a bit more nervous. However the rather ominous voices that began chatting away caught him off guard, but thanks to the broken silence he managed to calm himself back down.
Bardock just sat there and listened as everyone talked about him, how he was an outsider, and how powerful he was depicted as from Phenom's report among the other things they talked about before finally 5 men dressed in Military Dress Uniforms that to Bardock looked rather... odd. Thankfully Bardock didn't really focus on that, instead he just looked at them a little confused, but mostly just curious about this room and these men. "I uh... yeah hi..." Was all that Bardock could muster as he just analyzed the men who didn't look all that special aside from their oddly fancy outfits compared to others he saw in Heaven. Yet they also did have a sense of... authority to them as well.

Runa visibly relaxed at that "Oh thank you.. and sorry, we were having some guesses about it and were worried if it was a sort of cemetery there" she apologized to Angel and felt a hand on her shoulder. The redhead looked at the bioroid who also was now calm again. "Well, a problem got solved before it even began, right?" she asked and received a faint nod as an answer "now we can go and find our new friends"
"I guess we could go to the center of the station, it looks like where the big guys gather" Bryn suggested and they headed there "It would have been a cataclismic disaster if those towers had bodies inside of them" she said quiet enough just for the redhead to hear "I know, those creatures are fast and adaptive, if they would have managed to get so much genetic material, they would have an enormous advantage" Runa spoke thinking on how far more diverse the hive minded virus would become.
