Leader Meeting Island

[Sparrow]

Sparrow glares at Rick, mostly because of how he stated the question.
“If you must know.” she starts to say, but then starts coughing.
She supports herself by leaning on the table. Steve looks over to Rick, looking like he’s about to pass out.
“We’re sick.” he says plainly, finishing what Sparrow attempted to say.
“E-everyone in Epocheia is sick...” Sparrow says after a moment.

[Raven]

Had Fox been drinking something, she would've spat it out. Raven talking about God?

"... so many questions," she grumbled, "Raven... I thought you were an atheist. One really doesn't change their beliefs from atheism to theism so quickly." Fox looked Raven over, making sure she was all right. "In the meantime, though, all I can do is move on. I'm not going to rely on some figment of human imagination for help. Or justice, for that matter."

Vince exchanged a concerned glance with Ericken. Neither had ever heard Fox talk about religion.

Raven smiled slightly. "I've believed in God longer than you think. I just choose not to voice my views because people get haughty. I was merely saying that just because of this, it doesn't prove the nonexistence of God. I will do what I can to help."

[Diz]

Diz finally decided to speak up.
"Well, as much as I'd like to hear you guys talk about god, I think I'd much rather know WHO destroyed Forli, that and what's up with everyone in Epocheia being "sick."

[Sparrow]

Sparrow forces herself to stand.
“That’s just it everyone is sick.” she says weakly.
Steve stands up shakily, then looks to Diz.
“It’s called Psychosynthesis, that’s all you need to know for now.” he says closing the suitcase, seeming to have recovered quickly.
“At least we didn’t start laughing...Where is the Orb?” Sparrow questions after a moment.
“Oh bother that blasted thing.” Steve says looking around for it.
The Orb is under a chair recording the conversation.

[Raven]

"If you come again, don't bring the orb," Raven said, glaring at it where it had hidden. "I think we should first list everyone who could have been behind the bombing of Forli, the ones who have the power to."

[Gifted]

Smart Raven, Rick thought approvingly. By suggesting the others name who could have done it you put pressure on those people without allowing them to defend themselves against the accusations without looking more suspicious than they were to begin with.

"Better to list who couldn't have been behind it," Gifted said. "Nearly every country has the military power to pull it off if nothing else,"

[Sparrow]

Sparrow glares at Raven, “That’s fine, then you don’t bring that guy.” She says pointing at Kenny.
The Orb rolls out from under the table, then turns to Raven and blasts out a high pitch ping. Then it rolls to the opposite side of the room, taking photos.
Steve laughs a bit then says to Raven, “It doesn’t like you at all.”

[Raven]

Raven smirked. "Adam is second in command of Ravonia. He has a right to be here. Your device, whatever it does, has no place here," she replied. "The next time you bring it, I'll crush it."
Then she turned to Gifted. "I was also referring to any organizations within any country that could. Who knows how many of those there are that couldn't. Churches, cults, rebellions. Any group we think might have gained that amount of power. So, it will be easier and more conventional to list the organizations that could." She smiled. "World leaders aren't behind everything."

[Sparrow]

Sparrow shook her head at Raven's coment laughing a bit, "You can try, but I wouldn't recomend it."
She turns to watch the Orb, "And it does have a place here, you're just to closed minded to see it." she says calmly.
She looks to Steve, Steve nods in reply to the silent question. They both take off the resperators and place them in the suitcase. The Orb continues to take photos, but after awhile turns and starts rolling back to Sparrow.

[Raven]

"If you bring it again, it will be destroyed. Normally, no electronics are permitted at all," Raven snapped. She was beginning to become impatient with Sparrow.

[Sparrow]

"Oh did I touch a nerve?" Sparrow asks mockingly, seeming to act how she did when she first came.
The Orb seems to jump from a distance into Sparrow’s hand. It makes a soft whistling sound as it moves up to her shoulder, then it turns its eye to Raven.
Steve begins writing again, also acting how he did before.

[Raven]

Lynn was watching the scene carefully. "You know, if flicking it is a bad idea, it's probably dangerous. And it brings us back to the fact that it shouldn't be here," she commented.
Raven was coming close to kicking Sparrow out. Or smacking her. Kenny smirked, then for the first time in a long time, he altered someone's memory. Sparrow's. Oh the fun in making one world leader think another had hit her. Kenny fought the urge to laugh.

[Gifted]

Emric wished he'd broughten that surgeon kid who'd been in Gifteds group the second or third time. Even though Gifted had thought at the time that the injection hadn't worked on him, and he'd thought so himself, Emric now knew that Xander knew better. But after the attack surgeon kid was taken out of Gifted's inner circle, and Emric didn't want to draw attention to himself by going to the kids cell in the hospitle. But his power would give Emric more than what he needed to know about the orb...

[Sparrow]

Sparrow felt confused, she could clearly remember Raven hitting her, but neither Steve nor the Orb had reacted.
“Something’s wrong here.” She thinks to herself.
The Orb would have attacked anyone who attempted to harm her, so it had to be a mind trick, someone or something was causing.
“I’m not falling for it.” She says in a dark whisper narrow her eyes.
Simultaneously The Orb reacts the same way, and starts buzzing narrowing it’s eye.

[Raven]

Hmm... Kenny thought, She's more logic-bound than most. Oh well, can't have her murdering Raven.
Raven took a deep breath. "So, are there any of the countries that we can eliminate from being able to pack the punch that eliminated Forli?"
