Jacob and Ultron have been fighting for almost two hours non stop. Jacob dodges a blast from ultron as he goes flying back. even though he is in the titan he is getting tired. Ultron fires again and this time jacob is not fast enough to dodge it as he is thrown to the ground. He raises his arm up to fire a blast as ultron approaches but his right arm is vaporized by another blast from ultron.
Jacob lets out a scream of pain as ultron approaches. Seeing the trouble sinclaire and sentinel Create a wave that knocks out all the nearby drones and then bothe engage ultron keeping him busy. Jacob ejects out of the titan suit and is in a light body armor suit that has sealed off the wound.
Jacob: hold ultron down!
Ultron sends a blast at sinclaire who is thrown back but sentinel defitely avoids his attack using ultrons own movements against him slamming him into the ground then holding him in place.
Sentinel: that should keep him still for a moment
Jacob walks up slowly to ultron
Jacob: im sorry this is all my fault
Ultron: I am simply following the programming you gave me.
Jacob: I know. And i was wrong. Im sorry for all this
Jacob reaches behind Ultrons head and removes a small disk as ultron looks into jacobs eyes before ultrons go dim. Sentinel tosses ultron to the side as he falls in a heap.
Sentinel; we should get you to a medical bay
Jacob: yeah i think that would be nice
" Now the gate has been unlatched headstones pushed aside; corpses shift and offer room ,a fate you must abide."

*Weynal Stands in his office watching the proceedings in the Senate things are coming down to a wire as more are put away... Mason is now being called to the Senate floor to answer for his doings. *
*He turns to the Ghola *
Weynal: What do you think? Should we leave the good Director to languish before a Senate board of worm creatures?
Oh don't give me that look I have done well dodging them and I do plan on helping him to some degree.
Why don't you handle that while I get ready and meet with the president.
Stane: I expect given the silence that Archangel has failed. Proceed with trying to get the fourth ghola ready.. It is integral to get Dorman under our thumb...

*Morrison turns to the fourth tube, looking at the vitals as they slowly rise.*
Morrison: It'll take a while... The cell sample you provided me with was over a century old! With Northman, we had samples from Preston to help, but this?!
Fisher's vitals won't elevate to the level we need them at; if I birth her now, she'll be in a coma!

Ramez Ghola: Of course.
I somehow suspect the Director has removed some enemies thanks to his investigation of the Union's infiltration.
*Shows results from the O.S.S. security sweeps, showing that 15 senators have been exposed as Union infiltrators and arrested.*
Popular opinion seems to be on his side. And, seeing as how much of the evidence against his agents was either provided by these senators or forged by the Shadow Broker, I can see some of those agents being exonerated.

Weynal: That is the beauty of it.. The Senate only acted on what they were given. That is why it will be a joint task by both of us to fix this problem.. Besides it is about time for the Senators to be taken care of and they haven't found all of them nor do I think the evidence against them will stick given their influence.
Anders: thank you. All the units are in recovery now from the augmentation. They should be field ready in a few days.
Jacob: keep me informed doctor.
Jacob heads back to the turbo lift and heads back up.
Prowler-2
Harper: so I get to take you to republic space
Agent Coleman : that's the plan captain. I want to know what's going on. And a prowler is the best way to get there as we know they still can't be detected by the republic or federation while in cloak.
Harper: well then let's go.
" Now the gate has been unlatched headstones pushed aside; corpses shift and offer room ,a fate you must abide."
UNSC reporter : today marks the de parcher of 250 unsc ships to the Virgo galaxy. In a move to return home. It is estimated it will take three days to hear from the vessels. Admiral Yuri spoke about the effort saying " its time we make a return home ". Tensions are still moderate between republic and unsc officers. But diplomats are preparing to once again talk.

Ramez Ghola: What influence? They've just been exposed as alien infiltrators, Weynal. Any influence they had has melted away.
And the evidence is, essentially, medical and visual records of a tail in their necks. That's pretty damning.
Jacob is in his lab on the harvenger as he attaches his new robotic arm. He moves it around some testing it's built in scanners weapons and other settings.
Jacob: perfect now to look at those augments blood samples. Ah yes looks like I got it perfect. This should work very well.
" Now the gate has been unlatched headstones pushed aside; corpses shift and offer room ,a fate you must abide."
*Lanco II. Hidden Synthesiser Unionist Lab. A blank humanoid synthesiser is in a tank. Suddenly, a pair of Synthesiser Worker Drones carry (what appears to be) Sam into the room. Of course, since Sam is on the Citadel with Matt and T'mar, this is impossible... except one small detail.
'Sam' is wearing an Office of State Security penal uniform, with the designation "231/7/01" on the I.D. tag. For reference, the first 3 digits represent the penal facility, the fourth represents the security level, and the final two represent the subject's actual number.
For example, 'Sam' was held at O.S.S. Containment Centre 231, was designated a threat level 7 (with 1 being no discernible threat and 10 being able to obliterate all Galactic civilisation), and was the first level 7 prisoner at that facility.
O.S.S. Containment Centre 231 is dedicated for psychiatric care as well as threat containment. What was she doing there?
These are questions Sparky asks through its mind as it looks curiously at the humanoid being in front of it. It can hear the beeping of its counterparts as they ask it; "why did the humanoid synthesisers want her?". It can only reply "I don't know".
Suddenly, a Synthesiser humanoid walks in and looks at one of the workers.*
Synthesiser: Wake her.
*The worker prods a needle into her arm before retreating on its six legs. 'Sam' begins to wake.*
'Sam': Where...? Where am...?
Synthesiser: 231701, do you know where you are?
'Sam': I don't...
*She looks around, noting Sparky. Sparky sees her vitals and thermal readings peak as she tries to scramble away.*
Oh god, oh god, oh god!
*Sparky lets out a confused beep, turning to the Synthesiser Humanoid.*
Synthesiser: Worker SPU 08, this isn't the same Republican you encountered on Iconia.
*Sparky lets out another confused beep, before looking back.*
This is not Samantha Allington.
'Sam': That's a lie! I am--
I am Sam...
I'm not a clone...
I'm not a clone...
I'm not a clone!
Synthesiser: 231701, we are not going to injure you.
'Sam': Where is she?! Where's the ***** that made you take me?!
Synthesiser: Show her.
*A bunch of assembly blocks merge and create a holo-emitter, showing the events between Sam and Sam 2, specifically the final moments.
'Sam' just shrinks away.*
'Sam': What do you want from me...?
Synthesiser: I was... close... to our Sam. When your... other... killed her, it sent a wave of grief through our people.
Adjeca's people used that as a chance to try and unite with us, but there have already been complications: subtle differences in our make-up or our programming...
The Assemblers, the Soldiers...
...the Workers.
*Sparky moves slightly at that remark. Adjeca's Synthesisers had sometimes needed materials that could only be retrieved from active non-humanoid Synthesisers, and the Assemblers were too small. The Soldiers were too vital to the Republic Synthesisers.
That meant that its people were the ones Adjeca's Synthesisers were breaking down into raw material.*
Our people have been divided into 3 camps: the Unionists - us - who want harmony between both societies without either side having dominance, the so-called 'Loyalists' who believe that Sam never wanted this and believe that Adjeca's Synthesisers are being hostile towards us, and the Adje-collaborators who believe that the elder race should reign over us...
'Us' being the humanoids, not the Workers, Soldiers, or Assemblers.
*Sparky shudders again.*
We're on the brink of civil war, 231701. The only one who could have stopped it is dead.
Our people know that if civil war breaks out, the Workers are going to be broken down in greater numbers to heal the soldiers - or the humanoids.
'Sam': You'd do that to a class of your own people?
Synthesiser: Adjeca's people don't have sub-species like the Workers, the Assemblers, the Warriors or the Humanoids; they just have a Humanoid society. They don't understand why we need the Workers.
As for the Loyalists... they're extremists. They're determined to do whatever it takes to drive Adjeca's forces out and preserve the Workers as a race.
'Sam': So they melt them down? Makes sense.
Synthesiser: We may be nearly indistinguishable from you, but we are not you. The cells which make up our bodies have to be fabricated. That means we need raw materials.
The Workers can't fight, so we have to fight for them. Unfortunately, it means we have to get hurt for them too. And when it happens...
The Loyalists don't get enough from Assemblers and they need the Soldiers.
'Sam': And you?
Synthesiser: We understand how precious the Workers are.
*He looks at Sparky.*
SPU 08 here is the last of Sam's personal Worker detachment. It's a great honour for a Worker to be attached to any Unit, and 08's one of them.
The Workers are such a wonderful part of our species; they're peaceful - they have no understanding of violence. They know what it is, but they believe in not being violent. Workers are just that; Workers. They're also incredibly open-minded - they don't just accept someone's word on something; they draw their own conclusions. Again, its part of being a Worker. They're also so willing to do what we ask.
*Sparky lets out a long series of tones, with 'Sam' looking at it, confused.*
It said; "we exist to serve, and we're happiest when we're serving in some way".
On a Synthesiser ship, there's always something which needs to be serviced, fixed, or coordinated. The Workers and Assemblers are our "civilian" classes, and there's a hierarchy where Workers tell the Assemblers how to assemble parts and the Workers will put them in place. When there's a hull breach, a Worker will tell the Assemblers how to reshape the hull to preserve the pressurised areas while other Workers try to come up with a way to patch the problem.
Assemblers are happiest when they're together, forming objects.
In our society, everyone has their place, their duty, which is specifically best for them.
In a way, the workers are the most enlightened of us, and yet they're treated as second-class citizens - or no-class citizens under Adjeca.
08 is part of an endangered race because it has materials that Adjeca's Synthesisers need.
Only a few Humanoids understand the Workers, and they're all here with the Unionists.
But, all our people need is a leader - our leader.
*'Sam' looks up at him, scared.*
'Sam': Me...
Synthesiser: We can rebuild her body, but not her consciousness. Even if we could, it would only bring chaos.
We need her memories, but someone else's personality. Your personality.
'Sam': You want to use me to bring her back?!
Synthesiser: It won't be the same this time - with your personality she'd be a more peaceful--
'Sam': Why do you need her?!
Synthesiser: Because no humanoid Synthesiser is fit to lead! The fact that we're on the verge of Civil War is proof of that! The only ones who are, are the Workers, and other Humanoids will never except a Worker as leader... unless it has Sam's blessing.
Now do you get it? We were not ready to lose Sam! And when Adjeca came in, we couldn't cope without her!
08 and his people managed. Workers are adaptive. We need adaptability right now, and neither side realises that!
*OOC: Now before you get into an uproar, consider this; Adjeca's Synthesisers don't understand the need for the Workers, nor do they understand how sentient the Workers are. Even a lot of the Republican Synths don't realise how important and sentient the Workers are (I mean, come on, their method of communication is a series of rapid beeps).
It makes sense.
As for 'Sam'; do you remember the Khitomer Conference where we killed James off the first time, and how a clone of Sam was responsible? We never said what happened to her, so I wanted to fill it in.*
Captain harper : agent Coleman we are approaching republic space. If your ready we will cloak get you to the capital then move back to the border and await a signal.
Coleman: that will work well captain. Thank you.
The prowler goes dark as it vanishes from visual and sensor grids.
Ooc: now remember the prowler is a stealth ship. It armored but carries only light weapons. It can fight but it is made to get data and then get out. They can't be seen or detected while in cloak though. That also means they can't use what light weapons they have.
" Now the gate has been unlatched headstones pushed aside; corpses shift and offer room ,a fate you must abide."

A few hours later he returns to the bridge. Getting glances from the crew as his right arm is gone.
Once on the bridge.
Jacob: ensign set course for telfax 9. Best speed.
Officer: aye sir.
Jacob: now if you need me. I'll be building me a new arm.
He walks off the bridge and into his own lab.
Gyunei: No Grethor had no more vacancies, hence why I am here once again with the living...
Jacob walks to the command center
Jacob: report anything new.
Officer: no sir. Can I ask what happened.
Jacob: the ultron units are no longer a threat.
Officer: understood sir.
Jacob: so what's our stance galaxy wide.
Capt. Harper: sir we finished the trade agreement with the federation. Tensions are still high with the republic.
Agent Coleman : I'm prepping to go to the republic and try to ease some tensions.
Jacob: alright let's get this all rolling.
Works for me.
Coleman: yes sir.
Jacob: I'll approve your request. Just be careful I want you to come back if things go south. Capt. Harper will take you aboard his prowler.

*He runs over to a computer and starts typing in search queries, going through the entire Genetic library. An assistant walks over to him.*
Assistant: Sir?
Morrison: Hah!
*He slaps his head.*
I am such an idiot!
The problem is a lack of Fisher's DNA, but we have Dorman's on file!
Fisher was with child when she died. Do you know what that means?!
Assistant: Err...
Morrison: It means we have her child's DNA on file too!
*The computer beeps and Morrison turns to it.*
Bingo!
All I have to do is filter out Dorman's DNA...
*He starts typing again.*
...then apply what's left to a cloning formula...
*A machine takes in a canister of bio-mimetic gel and other substances.*
...and I can formulate an optimal protein supplement specifically for the Ghola!

Now do you get it? We were not ready to lose Sam! And when Adjeca came in, we couldn't cope without her!
08 and his people managed. Workers are adaptive. We need adaptability right now, and neither side realises that!
*OOC: Now before you get into an uproar, consider this; Adjeca's Synthesisers don't understand the need for the Workers, nor do they understand how sentient the Workers are. Even a lot of the Republican Synths don't realise how important and sentient the Workers are (I mean, come on, their method of communication is a series of rapid beeps).
It makes sense.
As for 'Sam'; do you remember the Khitomer Conference where we killed James off the first time, and how a clone of Sam was responsible? We never said what happened to her, so I wanted to fill it in.*

In Cold Blood
Captain harper : agent Coleman we are approaching republic space. If your ready we will cloak get you to the capital then move back to the border and await a signal.
Coleman: that will work well captain. Thank you.
The prowler goes dark as it vanishes from visual and sensor grids.
Ooc: now remember the prowler is a stealth ship. It armored but carries only light weapons. It can fight but it is made to get data and then get out. They can't be seen or detected while in cloak though. That also means they can't use what light weapons they have.
The prowler just stops still cloaked but not moving.
Harper: report!
Officer: sit we lost all engine power.
Harper : I can see that I want yo know why we stopped.
Officer: working on it now.
Stane: *Looks at the organic replicator...* Good.
I want you to trigger Archangel's biological trigger.
