12<RaspberryCommie> The pilots have been recovered, as have the clone tubes. Jack has been taken to an intensive care unit. All seems to be well for the moment, aside from certain revelations Ed found during their little excursion.
06* Ed_Irons looks around the base for Anna, he checks by her office first and knocks on the door.
12<RaspberryCommie> She's not there. They brought in some new stuff for the science team. Maybe she's in one of the labs?
06* Ed_Irons frowns, he checks the door first though to see if its locked.
12<RaspberryCommie> It's not locked. She never locks it.
06* Ed_Irons looks around before pushing it open, stepping inside and closing the door again.
12<RaspberryCommie> Like usual, her office is a horrible mess.
<Ed_Irons> Ed takes a look around the office....he doesn't remember it being quite this messy before.
06* Ed_Irons looks around...for a file cabinet first.
12<RaspberryCommie> There are a few near her desk.
<Ed_Irons> Ed opens the cabinet and sifts through the contents looking for anything....old?  "What are you doing Ed?" He asks himself outloud.
12<RaspberryCommie> Ed will find files dating all the way back to the founding of Nerv nearly eight years ago. The older ones have been heavily blacked out.
<Ed_Irons> "Dang it."  [Look on the computer dummy!  Its gonna be cleaner than this mess!]  Ed glances nervously at the computer, his worst enemy, before walking over to it and wiggling the mouse a little.
12<RaspberryCommie> The monitor wakes up from sleep mode. She didn't even secure the computer with a password? Perhaps someone should have a talk with her about security? The computer wallpaper is of Ed and Anna during one of their dates a few months ago. There's a few folders labeled on the desktop. Seems she's a bit more organized on her computer.
12<RaspberryCommie> the folders are labeled: Pictures, Projects, Games, and Eddy<3
<Ed_Irons> [See I told you-wait what's that?  CLICK THAT.] "Shut up!  What do you think I'm doing?", Ed drags the mouse to 'Eddy<3'.
12<RaspberryCommie> More pictures of the two of them. Although there are a bunch with just him. Including one or two that look like she snuck into his room to take them while he was asleep.
06* Ed_Irons smiles and then scrunches his face into a slight frown.  [Oh man what.]  He closes the folders and clicks 'projects'.  [Hurry up man!]
12<RaspberryCommie> Projects list all of her science work while in the employ of Nerv, but no earlier.
03* JohnnyF_ (~chatzilla@Rizon-18DDE11A.hsd1.ca.comcast.net) has joined #Nerv-Seattle
05* JohnnyF (~chatzilla@Rizon-18DDE11A.hsd1.ca.comcast.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
03* JohnnyF_ is now known as JohnnyF
06* Ed_Irons hurriedly closes the folders and stumbles his way out of the office.  "She...might be in the labs?"  [Duh.  Where else would scientist girl be?]  "Shut up!"
12<RaspberryCommie> When Ed gets to the lab, he'll find her staring at the tubes with the clones, and only her in there.
06* Ed_Irons slowly walks up to Anna and cautiously slides his arm around her waist.  "Anna?"
12<RaspberryCommie> "E-Eddy? What is this?" her voice is wavering.
<Ed_Irons> "Me and Pel found them in the back room of that chemical lab...they uh...."
12<RaspberryCommie> "They're...they're me..."
03* Sundaboat (Sundaboat@Rizon-EE31B0F1.ph.ph.cox.net) has joined #Nerv-Seattle
<Ed_Irons> "No...they're not you they just...look...", Ed scrunches his face, "....like you."
05* Sundaboat (Sundaboat@Rizon-EE31B0F1.ph.ph.cox.net) Quit
12<RaspberryCommie> "No...they are me." she hands him a clipboard with the genesequence of the clone and her own next to each other. They're an exact match. "W-why would he clone me?"
06* Ed_Irons keeps his eyes on the real Anna and he puts the clipboard down, "I...don't know but they're still not you!"
12<RaspberryCommie> She grabs him and hugs him tight, she's shaking.
06* Ed_Irons hugs her tighter.  "C'mon.  You don't need to be here."
12<RaspberryCommie> "It's...my job, though."
<Ed_Irons> "You can take a break though right?"
12<RaspberryCommie> "Y-yeah, a break.
05* Allison_Schill (~chatzilla@Rizon-9B585AAE.buffalo.res.rr.com) Quit (Remote host closed the connection)
06* Ed_Irons looks up and around the lab, "...you should sit down but...I don't exactly know where...we can do that."
12<RaspberryCommie> "We could go back to my office?"
06* Ed_Irons smiles, "C'mon then."
12<RaspberryCommie> "Ok." she doesn't let go of him the entire way back.
<Ed_Irons> On arriving back at Anna's office, he opens the door for her, walks her inside, and closes the door again.
12<RaspberryCommie> She sits at her chair, and immediately begins crying into her hands.
06* Ed_Irons crouches down next to her and holds her again, he's just that tall, "Anna its ok.  Everyone's ok."
12<RaspberryCommie> "I know. I'm glad you all got back out, and Neda got Jack back, but...I'm sorry Eddy, but...what if I'm one of those things too?"
<Ed_Irons> "It-it wouldn't change how I think of you at all...and  we can figure this out I know it."
<Ed_Irons> "At the lab there was a computer console and it had all kinds of files on it about this.  If we can find that then we can figure everything out!"
12<RaspberryCommie> "How will you find it though? There was just an empty warehouse when S2 picked you up."
<Ed_Irons> "I...don't know.  I don't know but I will and I'll find it for you.  There was tons of stuff on there...it had notes abou-.."  Ed looks down for a minute.
12<RaspberryCommie> "...About what?"
06* Ed_Irons looks back up at Anna, "How long have you worked here?"
12<RaspberryCommie> "Hmm?" she wipes her eyes, "About seven or eight years. Why?"
<Ed_Irons> "Did....did you know my parents?"
12<RaspberryCommie> "Well...I did know two people named Ir..." her eyes go wide, "No way..."
<Ed_Irons> "You...you did know them!"
12<RaspberryCommie> "Yeah. Eddy...please don't hate me for this, but...I think I might be responsible for...what happened to them."
06* Ed_Irons frowns, "What...do you mean?  I...I found a file on that computer at the lab.  It talked about...the Irons Incident.  And that you were the one in charge."
12<RaspberryCommie> "We...we were testing the Eva's AT capacity. We were behind schedule, and I told everyone to push it beyond its known capacity. It...it caused an overload leading to the largest dirac event we ever recorded. Half of my team were killed, and your parents were never recovered...Eddy, I'm so, so, sorry."
<Ed_Irons> "I saw the...the security camera footage...are....you saying that."  Ed's breathing becomes a little erratic, "My Eva killed...it killed Mom and Dad?"
12<RaspberryCommie> She nods.
<Ed_Irons> "It-it...no.  I...I use O-four to fight!  It can't...in the video  there...there was blood but I don't remember seeing any from...from them."
12<RaspberryCommie> "There...there wouldn't be. They were completely...gone."
<Ed_Irons> "Then...how...", a hopeful look springs to Ed's face, "How do you know they're dead?!"
12<RaspberryCommie> "That's...possible. But nobody's heard from them since, Eddy. I don't want you to get your hopes up."
<Ed_Irons> "I..I yeah I know.  But still...I just have to know for sure."
12<RaspberryCommie> She walks around the desk gives him a hug, "Well, if they're still alive, I'll help you find them. Ok? Although I don't know how they'll feel that you're dating their old boss."
12<RaspberryCommie> FINE SHE JUST HUGS HIM

12<RaspberryCommie> "She?"
<Ed_Irons> "I...the reason I wasn't able to look at the computer like I wanted to was because...", Ed looks around unsure if he should bring the clones subject again.  "I got distracted by something."
12<RaspberryCommie> "...Who distracted you?"
06* Ed_Irons sighs, "One of the NOT-yous.  She...she talked to me."
12<RaspberryCommie> "Wh...what did she say?"
<Ed_Irons> "She said that Katrina told her all about us.  I never saw..Katrina.. there but it sounded like she's been spying on us."
12<RaspberryCommie> "...I knew she got in here once, but I didn't know she was able to keep doing it."
<Ed_Irons> "She said that Katrina has been talking to all of them.  Like they can all talk or something....and she...", Ed scrunches his face and turns slightly red, "She lunged at me."
12<RaspberryCommie> "Lunged at you? Are you hurt?"
<Ed_Irons> "No not like that...like..how you 'lunge' at me."  Ed nervously glances around.
12<RaspberryCommie> "O...oh...you didn't do anything, right?"
06* Ed_Irons jerks away momentarily, "NO!  OF COURSE NOT!  She was...slimy...and stuff..."
12<RaspberryCommie> "You...you know you can do those things with me...if you want."
<Ed_Irons> "I...". Ed
<Ed_Irons> Ed's brain NOT KNOW WHAT TO SAY OR MAYBE IT DOES.  [ | Do iiiiiiiiittttttttttttt | ], "....."
<Ed_Irons> "I...Anna....I'm still..."
<Ed_Irons> "I think Pel saw more of what was on that computer."
12<RaspberryCommie> She looks really disappointed, "Well...maybe we can talk to Pel later then."
06* Ed_Irons looks disappointed in himself, "O-k....are you feeling ok?"
12<RaspberryCommie> "Huh? I'm fine!" she turns a bit red, "It's just...well, we've been together for a year, and we...well...we still haven't moved past kissing..."

<Ed_Irons> "Well... I never...learned anything about this in training.  I just fight and its...its a weird thing"
12<RaspberryCommie> "Well, I never learned anything about it either...can we...do you at least want to sleep over at my place? We don't have to do anything...I just don't want to be alone tonight..."
<Ed_Irons> "....I..yeah we can..we can do that I think..."
12<RaspberryCommie> "...Thanks." she smiles, "I...I think I did enough today. Do you wanna go get something to eat?"
06* Ed_Irons smiles back.  "Chicken Palace?"
12<RaspberryCommie> "Of course. Where else would we go?"
06* Ed_Irons draws himself up and pulls Anna up with him before they leave to eat at the happiest and most romantic of all places.
