[color=MediumSpringGreen]“I… see…”[/color] Ashley replied in response to The Pounder’s “explanation”, still not entirely convinced of his [i]or[/i] MDP’s sanity. A moment later, Dr. Moller gave her own response to Ashely’s request for guidance, and the Knight of Tomorrow’s frown of uncertainty only grew more pronounced with each new word the director spoke. [color=MediumSpringGreen][i]Cute…?[/i][/color] the high-tech heroine wondered, not for the first time questioning her superior’s [i]own[/i] mental faculties. After all, this was [i]hardly[/i] the time for bad jokes. [color=MediumSpringGreen]“Um, no, ma’am,”[/color] she replied. [color=MediumSpringGreen]“It’s just that some of them have been helping with the cleanup and I don’t believe any of them saw us in our mundane forms, so I was reluctant to take further action against them.”[/color] 

The director went on to discuss Finn, Dante, and the latter’s apparent daughter, noting that the Pax Septimus branch of G.E.M.I.N.I. lacked the facilities for holding someone of Amanda’s potential capabilities. While the doctor did concede that questioning her might prove beneficial, the odds of learning anything from someone so obviously antagonistic towards them were minimal. Yet, although the potential danger she posed was impossible to ignore, Dr. Moller’s final instructions still sent a chill down Ashley’s spine.

[color=MediumSpringGreen][i]Eliminate…?[/i][/color]

The word echoed over and over in the Knight of Tomorrow’s mind, even as the still-weeping Amanda slowly pulled what was left of Dante towards the now-unblocked door. Ashley tried to tell herself, tried to [i]convince[/i] herself, that this was no mere girl, that this was a [i]monster,[/i] and a highly dangerous one at that. She told herself that Amanda was a threat, not only to Finn, but to untold numbers of innocent civilians. Yet, all she could see before her was a girl grieving the senseless death of her father. It would have been another matter entirely if she had attacked Ashley or her allies in any way, but she hadn’t. If anything, she had seemed [i]afraid[/i] of them, and not without good reason, the high-tech heroine was forced to admit. That said, it wasn’t as if the director’s order could just be ignored, but even so, Ashley found herself fervently hoping that one of the others would be the person to carry it out, however unlikely that might be. After all, Estelle only seemed interested in offering Amanda comfort, and there was a decent chance their freelancer allies hadn’t even heard Dr. Moller’s order to begin with.

[s]Where was Finn when you needed him?[/s]

Amanda’s pace was slow, her focus on what remained of her father. For the next few harrowing seconds, Ashley would simply wait to see what the others would do, all while steeling herself for the possibility that what she dreaded the most would indeed come to pass. That it would all depend on [i]her…[/i]
