- Inside of Dr. Anna Maximoff's office, the good doctor continues to search her drawers for something. She fails to notice her two friends and the leader of the Russian super-nation letting themselves in. When she finally notices, she's caught off guard.
- (Dr. Maximoff): *surprised* OH MY! You three scared me!
- (Chancellor Kalashnikov): Quite.
- (Dr. Reed): Anna, what's going on? Why is your office such a mess?
- (Dr. Maximoff): Well....... my brother was found dead in his home. 'Drained of all bodily fluids', it seems.
- (Dr. Reed): Oh, I'm sorry for your loss.
- (Dr. Maximoff): Don't be. He was a prick.
- The three visitors to Dr. Maximoff's office become deathly silent after her comment, which puzzles her greatly; she quickly goes back to rifling through her things afterwards.
- (Dr. Ho): Ummm...... so, on that note....... Anna, are you looking for something?
- (Dr. Maximoff): Yes. A weapon prototype's blueprints.
- (Dr. Reed & Dr. Ho): Weapon prototype?
- (Chancellor Kalashnikov): *clearing throat* Yes, the Russian government contracted the Maximoffs to try and develop anti-P.E.M.F. weaponry aside from the Warmongers a few years back, in case they were to return. Unfortunately, they did, before we made any significant progress.
- (Dr. Maximoff): It was the last project my brother and I worked on together. I've been looking for it in my office, but I've had no luck. I think his recent death has something to do with that. Only...... it wasn't recent.
- Dr. Maximoff's colleagues are visibly concerned with this claim, although the Chancellor is unfazed.
- (Dr. Maximoff): It was pretty obvious that he died a few years ago. His body showed signs of great bodily decay internally, but on the surface, reconstruction surgery had made it appear as though he died more recently.
- (Dr. Ho): And you believe he stole the blueprints to those weapon designs?
- (Dr. Maximoff): I do. Obviously, they were meant for P.E.M.F.s, but could be used to great effect against Warmongers, as well. Or Colossi, Laura. Luckily, we had yet to find a proper material that could conduct non-standard DE energy without requiring human integration, in this case.
- Dr. Reed shuffles in place nervously, looking away from her peers; Dr. Maximoff notices and responds accordingly.
- (Dr. Maximoff): Except for Orichalcum, yes. The same material that could be used to make the automation of the Mobile Titans and Colossi possible.
- (Chancellor Kalashnikov): Any ideas who would make use of these weapons?
- (Dr. Maximoff): I do have a hunch.......

- Children of Monsters cult members are rounding up supplies after their old hideout was converted into a full-fledged laboratory and assembly line. High-grade energy weapons are produced by the hundreds, in addition to highly-advanced sets of armor by the dozens.
- In conjunction with this manufacturing efficiency, several stations are set up with cultist members looking over blueprints and holograms with intricate data charts. In particular, two stations side-by-side contain very interesting sets of schematics.
- One has the designs for an advanced missile system; the other has an overlay of an adult Irys as well as theoretical models for bioengineered enhancements. On the other side of the room, a group of Children of Monsters researchers are performing experiments with artificial replicas of the amulet that bonds the second Irys to their cult's leader, Daiyu Chen. However, the replicas quickly break down after a few seconds of completion; this frustrates the scientists.
