Crow slowly woke up and looked around, he fell asleep in his chair again. Yawning, he looked at the time...why was he up so early. Shrugging he looked to his screen and turned on the robot in RAvonia, while looking at another screen that showed some uninvited guests.

After breakfast, Raven walked up to Adam. “Hey, Adam? Can we go for a walk? I’d like to talk to you,” she told him, slipping her hand into his. Adam smiled, allowing her to lead him out of the building and down the street, towards the woods. Raven began once they reached the first of the trees, “Another girl was found today,” Raven informed him. “Oh,” Adam was clearly uncomfortable with the subject. Raven raised her eyebrows. “She was alive and she saw her attacker,” she added. Adam looked confused. “Why are you saying that like it’s a bad thing? Doesn’t that mean we’re one step closer to finding him?” he asked, bewildered. “She described him and the description seemed to fit you,” Raven told him coldly. “What?! And you actually think I did all that?! No way!” Adam exclaimed. “What am I supposed to think, Adam?” Raven inquired. “You can’t believe that.” Adam had become suddenly pale. “The girl said she saw you,” Raven said bluntly. “Maybe I’m being framed… Doesn’t it seem odd to you that this girl is the only one to live and she just happened to see me?” Adam asked. Raven smiled sadly. “I believe in innocence until proven guilty, but even still, you’re under suspicion.”

Crow, intently watching the screen, began typing and testing the controls. Content with how it was handling today, he began comanding the robot. The robot quietly snuck through the shadows and found Mistress Raven, he couldn't quite hear what was going on right now, the robot closed in to listening range but it seemed that the conversation had just stopped.

"I still want you to come to the meeting in three days. If only to avoid suspicion from the other leaders. I don't want to look weak," Raven added. Adam nodded, but he looked even worse for ware. "And you don't want me here while you aren't," he muttered. "Yeah, that too," Raven said. Adam sighed. "Well, standing here isn't going to help anything," Raven pointed out, gesturing for him to go first. As he walked he said, "You don't even trust me enough to walk in front of me anymore?" Raven grimaced.

Crow smiled, he had a somehwat twisted sense of humor, Adam's pain was simply enjoyment to him. The robot stuck to the shadows and quietly followed after the two.

Fox woke up to the sound of a much gentler pat-pat-pat than the previous night, with her secretary's orange jacket draped across her. The owner of aforementioned jacket was sitting in the conference room with a displeased look.
"... Um," grumbled Fox, rubbing her face, "What time is it?"
"Past noon," the secretary responded. Before she could continue, Fox had scrambled over to the TV, and switched it on. "No, there are no further developments in Miss Raven's marital affairs, but you should know the international meeting is in three days."
Fox frowned. She gave the jacket to her secretary, and announced, "I'm going out for a walk. Find one of those nice umbrellas with the flag on it, and put it near the door; I'll be there soon, I just need to shower and get dressed."
"Would you like me to come with?" questioned the secretary, watching Fox depart. The leader shook her head, and called over her shoulder, "'m going out incognito! Need to make sure nobody's passed some stupid law without my knowledge, kay?" Her babysitter nodded, and sighed. Someday, the secretary thought, she'll be out of office. Once she's dead. Hopefully I'll be alive by then, so my last memory isn't the general stupidity of the country...
Samuel was fully supplied and on the bus back to the jungle well before noon. He had left a simple piece of paper, scrawled on it, "Sorry you couldn't see me off," on Heather's nightstand.

Rachel jerked awake. She blinked and looked up to find three people standing over her.
"Morning," she greeted them with a weak smile. Riley glared at her.
"I told you to-"
"Riley, please." The dark haired man that stood with his arm around Beck's shoulders scowled at the blonde secretary menacingly. Beck looked rather uncomfortable. Riley turned his gaze on the man unhappily.
"I wish you two would just get along, for crying out loud!" Rachel hissed, rubbing her eyes. The man saluted.
"I apologise, Ma'am," he said, taking his arm off Beck and standing straight. "The rebellion has sent another threat. They say that they are going to take a hostage of some kind..." He placed a folded piece of paper on Rachel's desk. She opened it out and read it. It was Riley's turn to look uncomfortable.
Rachel bit her lip, before nodding.
"I'm going to continue with the festival," she told them. "I don't want the people to panic... Flank, can you get a few extra on duty... no. Get them undercover." She nodded again.
The man saluted again. "Of course, Ma'am."
"Dismissed," Rachel muttered. She looked up as Flank left the room. "All of you," she added. Beck and Riley glanced at each other before leaving. Rachel sighed.
"Think about it when the time comes," she mumbled sleepily before taking up a pen and getting back to work.

Adam glanced at her over his shoulder. "I swear, it's not me doing that," he told her. "Then it must be someone who's looks like you and who just happens to know when you're not occupied," Raven snapped. "Damn, if I could think of anyone like that other than you, I would believe you without a doubt. I can't, though, so shut the hell up." Adam gasped. "That's it!" he exclaimed. Raven glared. "What's it?" Almost before she'd asked, Adam replied, "My twin brother! That's who it is!" "Oh, because you just happened to have a twin and not mention it until now. Right." "I thought he was dead!" Raven sighed. "Adam," she said, clearly distraught, "just stop it." "It's true!" Adam insisted. Raven shook her head, but didn't argue.

The robot inched closer but wasn't very careful and kicked a rock towarsd them. Crow made the robot hug against the wall but he wasn't sure if it was discovered or not.

Adam and Raven both spun around at the sound of the rock clattering towards them. Neither of them saw a thing, but Raven stood closer to Adam than she had been. "Let's keep going," she whispered to him. He cautiously took her hand, and she didn't pull away. They were both on edge as they continued back to the state house.

Letting out a side of relief he took control of the robot, having it leap quickly into a nearby wall, repeating this meneuver until it landed on the roof of the opposite building, the robot began to follow the two from the safety of the rooftops.

Raven didn't want to appear that she was fighting with Adam if someone were watching, so she let him put his arm around her shoulders and cuddled closer to him. "My brother was one of the Tested," Adam told her. Raven looked up at Adam, her expression scared. "If... If he lived..." She shivered at the thought, shaking her head. "They were all killed in the explosion," she said certainly. "That's what I thought," Adam muttered. They continued in silence for the moment. "You realized that if my some miracle, he did survive, he wouldn't be the person you remembered him to be. He would be different in every way except appearance." Adam nodded. "That's why I'm sure he's the one doing this..."

Crow strained to hear the audio, no good...he'd hav eto listen to it later. FOr now he was simply watching the expressions on Raven's face. The Robot was crouching on the roof, a ray of sunlight reflected off it and shone in Raven's face. Quickly the robot crouched and became somewhat the color of the surface around it, prototype stealth tech.

Raven narrowed her eyes against the light, then it dimmed again. Suspicious, she continued walking with Adam, speaking after a moment, "That explosion wasn't entirely an accident, Adam. Those... things they created... Well, they weren't human. I'm sure that some of them survived. Some of them would survive anything. The only thing we can hope is that they were trapped." "How can you say that? You took 16 year olds from their homes and then tested on them. Now you're saying we were better off with them dead?" Adam asked angrily. "They volunteered. They were warned it could be dangerous. After that, they were doomed to go to Hell. I stopped them before they could kill anyone," Raven hissed. "How could you be sure they would?" Adam snapped back. "Well, look at what's happening," Raven replied. "Maybe the others would be different!" "You didn't know any others." "No, but that doesn't mean I don't care if they live or die. Unlike you, apparently." Adam's tone was scornful.

Crow was listening intently he could make out most of it but it was scratchy, the robot leaped across to a closer building and quietly shot a bug, the audio bug quietly embedded itself into the shoe of Raven. It was much easier to hear the conversation now, Crow reclined in his chair.
