- At the abandoned warehouse serving as a base of operations for the Axis Alliance, some of Bloody Mary's fellow Post-Humans are currently monitoring a direct video feed from one of the Loyalist Mimetics planted amidst the donation of military-grade equipment for Lion Claw. So far, the only thing of interest at the moment is the end result of the first field test of the XM1 Praetorian Exoskeleton and XM23 MASER Repeater.
- (Anika Jai): Look at these idiots. Was it really a good idea to give them that kind of hardware?
- (Connor Sheffield): It's fine, Anika. We only gave them the old prototype stuff as a show of goodwill. The really effective equipment will be provided to us by our business partners.
- (Anika Jai): And why would we need them? We have a growing army of Post-Humans, Mimetics, and those cultist freaks as shock troopers.
- (Connor Sheffield): It's always good to be prepared. Come on........ You can't honestly say you aren't curious about how those powers of yours would do in a suit of BE-CPR-S armor.
- (Anika Jai): I guess.....
- As the two Post-Humans continue to monitor the direct video feed, a communications request can be made out on one of the computer screens. Before the two stationed there can respond, Bloody Mary herself steps out of Anika's shadow, startling the pair a bit.
- (Anika Jai): OH! Bloody Mary!
- (Mary Stoker): Hello Ms. Jai. I know who this hail is from, so I'll just answer it myself, if you don't mind.
- (Anika Jai): Of course, ma'am! Patching you through now.
- With the push of a button, the communications hail is answered, bringing up a holographic projection of the robotic body of Samuel Hayden, director of the U.A.C. and its complex on Mars. However, due to the great distance between the red planet and Earth, not to mention all of the other miscellaneous debris between here and there, the open channel is shaky at best and provides a very low resolution image of the esteemed man.
- (Mary Stoker): Samuel.
- (Samuel Hayden): [COMMS] Ms. Stoker.
- The two Post-Humans overseeing the Axis Alliance's incoming and outgoing communications seem to become quite nervous at the U.A.C. head's casual usage of their leader's surname. However, Bloody Mary herself doesn't bat an eye at this utterance, despite being rather reputable for punishing her own followers for doing so. Indeed, their leader seems interested in what her business partner has to say this time around.
- (Mary Stoker): Why are you calling us here now, Samuel?
- (Samuel Hayden): [COMMS] I have an update and a request.
- (Mary Stoker): That depends. If I like what I hear from your update, I'll humour your request.
- (Samuel Hayden): [COMMS] Fair enough.
- Rather than simply telling the terrorist leader about the update, the U.A.C. higher-up changes his holographic presence, shifting it into a video recording. This footage showcases the inside of a Kree sanctum, one that was recently excavated; inside is an ancient warship from before the enigmatic species' downfall, as well as several large scale replicator devices. After the recording plays on a loop a few times, the holographic projection cuts back to a live feed from Hayden.
- (Samuel Hayden): [COMMS] My teams have located one of many mass production chambers that were instrumental in the Kree war machine. With these, we can replicate almost any advanced piece of equipment up to the size of the vessel I just showed you.
- (Mary Stoker): That IS good news, Hayden. Okay, what exactly do you want?
- (Samuel Hayden): [COMMS] All I request is an isolated sample of the F.E.V. strain that the Storm Covenant's members are infected with.
- (Mary Stoker): Alright, we have a deal.
- (Connor Sheffield): Ma'am, you can't honestly--
- Despite a brief amount of protest from one of her main communications officers, the leader of the Order of Homo Novus raises her hand in front of her follower's face and instantly silences him. It's clear from this gesture that Bloody Mary is invested in maintaining a working relationship with the U.A.C. representative, even if there's good reason to be suspicious of his motives.

- The ever imposing Director Samuel Hayden stands in front of his desk, using his personal communications line to speak directly with Bloody Mary at her base of operations. All the while his image is being projected to the other end, the man stares at a holographic screen in front of him that details all kinds of information: mutation charts of F.E.V.-infected individuals, biochemical analyses of viral samples, and, most intriguing of all, blueprints styled in the same manner as Leonardo Da Vinci's Vitruvian man albeit with an assortment of different base models; included in these models are HAZMAT soldiers, stone golems, strange alien-looking creatures, and others.
- (Mary Stoker): [COMMS] Just one question, Samuel.
- (Director Hayden): Very well, Ms. Stoker.
- (Mary Stoker): [COMMS] What exactly do you want this F.E.V. sample for, anyways?
- (Director Hayden): Something big, Mary. Something VERY big.
