        Morning turn into afternoon as time pressed on as the police vehicle kept driving down Malcolm X Blvd. While getting on West 110^th street and then cursing down 5^th Avenue, Aya kept looking out the passenger side window to think about the last couple days she has been living through. She pounders about how herself and Xeo are the only ones to be in close contact with Eve without subsuming to her powers. Heeding the words of the Jedi about her unknown power she couldn’t shake the feeling that by going to the museum she could understand herself even more thoroughly. Xeo too was another person wondering about in his mind of the difference between midi-chlorains and mitochondria. It would seem like the trip would be short if a certain contain voice wouldn’t let go of his curiosity about Xeo.
            “…I was wondering, Xeo…” Maeda said for what could have been the thousand time in everyone’s mind. The Jedi turned his head towards him to answer another question to Maeda.
            “Yes…” he said with a low non thrilled tone.
            “If…you got here form a starship…what about yourself?”
            “Huh? What about myself?” Xeo said as Maeda tried to make it clear to him about the question he was asking while Daniel helped him out.
            “He means, Jedi…that your ride is gone. It crashed landed here…so he’s saying that you’re stuck here. Right?”
            “Uh…” Xeo mumbled under this breath now realizing the implications that were brought to him as soon as The Light of Hope crashed landed and was nothing more than a pile of scrap that echoed of death. “…I guess I can’t ask anyone that knows about hyperspace travel on this planet?” Aya then turn around to look at him.
            “We only have the space shuttle…but it can’t go as far as around Earth.”
            “What we are saying, Xeo is that it’s out of the question,” said Maeda. Xeo sights knowing that what Dreazin did was made this accident into a one way trip.
            “Great…and I doubt that anyone is going to come after me with that kind of technology to produce. It can be done…but the only ones that know this kind of travel were all killed by my brother.”
            “Ya…about him,” Aya said while Daniel cut her off in mid-speech.
            “Ya. How the fuck are we going to do anything against someone who is like you but isn’t like you. Even worse than Eve?” Xeo looked at Daniel and Aya with a look of being serious.
            “He could be worse than Eve if he learned a lot more of The Dark Side. Right now…the last time I ever heard anything from him was that he wanted to know about the combustion power she has,” he said as Aya and Daniel turn slightly at each other and began to think about two people making fires on Eve’s magnitude. “…I would only guess it was to find a stealth ability to kill sentient beings without using the normal Dark Side powers. Even worst…what Eve did at Central Park could happen to a whole city if Dreazin ever learned to harness that power. Turning mass armies into…masses of that goo,” Xeo kept saying while he could tell that Daniel was still feeling the lost of his wife as the Jedi could tell. Aya saw Xeo’s reaction as she turned towards Daniel and talked to him.
            “Will get her…whatever it takes!”
            “Thanks, Aya…” Daniel said while nodding. For a moment everyone went silent in the car to think about those who had died at Central Park and how they were powerless to stop Eve; however, it didn’t take long the silent to end.
            “Hey! Is that it!?” Maeda said while yelling to get Daniel to snap out of it.
            “What the hell are you screaming…about,” he said as his point of view was able to make out the American Museum of Natural History on his right. “Oh. Were here…damn that was fast!”
            “The way you drive?” Both Aya and Xeo said at the same time. While Maeda laughed a bit on the inside.
            “What the hell now!? I got a partner and a parrot that repeats after her? I’m pulling over…sheesh!” Daniel said while rolling his eyes and setting the car into parking gear. After the E-brake was pulled into place, everyone got out of the car as Xeo put his original clothing into the trunk of the car. Maeda, walking closer to the first flight of stairs, took a moment to take in the fine details of the museum. Aya and Daniel were talking together to catch up with Maeda as Xeo closed the door to the trunk and looked at Maeda.
            “So this is the American Museum of Natural History! It’s just as I imagined…! Still…I could hardly believe a research facility could be inside…” Daniel walks up to him and put his hand on his shoulder while Maeda was startled.
            “Maeda…this place has all the makings of a R&D…” he said while in a sarcastic voice until the real tone that he speaks was let out. “Of course it’s hardly to believe! Why would someone like Klamp have shit like that in a museum!?”
            “Because well funded programs that insures preservation of rare items and knowologe to the science community make it possible to have a research facility in a building like this…in the middle of a city no less, Daniel…” Aya said while walking close to Daniel’s side. Xeo began to catch up behind them while Daniel took his hand off of Maeda’s shoulder.
            “Geez, Aya…I was just having fun with him,” Daniel complained while Aya didn’t answer back. “…Yeah. Hopefully, we won’t run into the jerk who runs it. Even if we do…” Daniel stares at Xeo.
            “No…I’m not abusing my Jedi talents on him if he can’t shut up. I didn’t do it to Maeda…I won’t do it to him,” he said while restating his previous action towards Klamp if he was spotted in his office again.
            “What? On me?” Maeda said in a worried tone while Xeo shook his head. Everyone began to go up the second flight of stairs and tried to open the door. It was looked even if everyone was gone. Daniel went into his coat pocket and grasps his revolver as he looked at everyone.
            “Stand back. I’m going to give his door a new key to try out…” Daniel said while Maeda and Aya took a step back as Xeo didn’t move. “What? You think you’re that ‘bad’ that you could tell where a bullet might do the door? Dodging it if it ricochets off…” Xeo, being the Jedi he is, wasn’t too keen on weapon discharging if another solution was opted for use. He looked at Daniel and then nodded for him to hold back on his trigger finger. Feeling The Force in his hands and finger tips he waved his hand at the door. Nothing happen for a moment until a loud metallic sound was made emanating from the door’s lock. Daniel could only think that Xeo used his powers on the door lock itself. Using his other hand, Daniel turns the knob and opens the door. Not to his surprise, he puts his gun away as he looked at Xeo yet again in amazement.
            “No need for a bullet to be wasted…might need them later on,” he said to Daniel as Maeda and Aya walked in while Daniel kept the door open until he was the last one left outside. Once he closed the door everyone looked around to see if any museum personnel were still inside or any NYPD officers. Nothing to be seen but the dark and empty echoes of their footsteps; although, some hums of power transformers could be heard from upstairs. “Nothing…I feel…us and that’s it.” Daniel, being the cop that he is, didn’t feel safe around a Jedi’s abilities for he wasn’t experience to believe everything Xeo can do as he has his revolver’s safety off. They slowly went up stairs as the sounds of their footsteps could be heard from every wall and corner of the dead museum. Aya, making her way to the top as first, checked around for anyone to be seen. Once everyone made it to the 2^nd floor they found Klamp’s office and opened the door, which was unlocked in the first place. Maeda walked in first as Aya and Daniel followed up behind him. Xeo closes the door and waited to see what would happen next.
            “Hmm…for a lab in a museum, it does have fairly extensive equipment. I wonder how much they get funded for this?” Maeda said while Daniel scratched his head.
            “I don’t know. Got to ask Giuliani, him being the mayor and all…” Daniel said trying to think of the simple and non complex answer; however, the moment passed as Maeda stood there. “So, whaddya wanna test?”
            “Yes…” Maeda said to himself while walking towards the equipment. Daniel and Aya could only do is watch and see what he was able to do. Xeo then moved around to check out the equipment to be sure that it was just the same as he saw in his mind from yesterday.
            “So…it really did happen.” Aya looked at Xeo while he was talking.
            “What? You’re vision of this room. The conversation we had with Klamp?”
            “Ya that fucker…” Daniel said while voicing his two cents about Klamp.
            “Yes. I was seeing and hearing everything. Even the moment with you Aya…and that mental image,” Xeo said while Aya wasn’t too surprised by what the Jedi said to her back in the food import store from his powers to view people’s minds.
            “You mean…that moment I had about the vision of the man and some girl…on the table?” Aya said while Xeo nodded. Daniel had no idea what was going on but kept his senses back on Maeda incase he blew something up in a highly volatile chemical mixture.
            “Maeda…you doing fine or what?” Daniel said to Maeda as he answered back.
            “Yes…of course I am Daniel. Just having a hard time to see what I can use. Let me see…” Maeda opens his blue jacket to reveal his inner pockets. His hand goes inside one of the pockets to grab a pastry dish with a color or light orange inside of it. “I was able to extract a gel-like substance from Aya’s clothing and Xeo’s too before he changed.” Aya could tell from the countless battles before that she had some residue of the NMC’s reminds on her leather jacket and jeans; however, she felt weird that Maeda would do that behind her back or back when she was asleep. Xeo, on the other hand, wasn’t able to feel a thing at the time he was out cold and could have asked him to take a sample from his other cloths when he was awake.
            “Gel…? Is it from Eve?” Aya asked him while walking over to Maeda. Daniel tagged along behind Aya as Xeo did the same. Xeo looked at the office’s computer and was able to make out how crud the technology was that they were using on Earth.
            “Yes…I was able to tell that it was from Eve. The other gel-like stains on your cloths were already dissolved and too little to use. Your last encounter with Eve is visible from the way the gel looks fresh. I was able to take the sample and…” Maeda said while Xeo took his mind of the obsolete computer and spoke to him.
            “Maeda…you should have asked. That wasn’t nice trying to take those samples from us if we weren’t able to notice back when we were asleep.”
            “Yes…he’s right,” Aya said as she felt like someone had their way with her and Xeo.
            “Sorry but it was only for a test sample I needed. That’s all…really. Anyways it appears to be a remnant of Eve’s cells…” Maeda said to everyone while he kept fixing the microscope focus and lens magnification. Meanwhile, Xeo kept tinkering around the computer to see what made it work. Over time a loud and obscured tone came from the PC as it flickered between its original picture to a blue screen, which then restarted itself. Aya and Daniel looked at him while he had a look of curiosity with an expression of dumbfounded.
            “What…? It’s unknown to me…this…” Xeo said as the start up screen showed a corporate logo. “…Windows 95 system.” Both, Aya and Daniel, looked away while rolling their eyes at each other. Everyone, that wasn’t Maeda, kept an eye on the Japanese scientist as he was able to get his sample to be shown with a great view.
            “At the cellular level, her power cannot be as strong as Aya said previously. Now for the test…sheesh…” he said while walking over to another section of the office lab equipment. He was able get himself a scalpel that wasn’t used; however, Daniel thought he wasn’t sure about it but Xeo nodded that he knew that Maeda was safe to use it. They didn’t know what he was going to use it on but then he small outburst from him came shortly he picked up the blade. “Ow!!”
            “Hey, what’re you doing? It’s not like we were being that mean to you!?” Daniel said to him while Aya elbowed Daniel in the gut.
            “Daniel, stop it!” she said to him.
            “Okay…we weren’t being mean at all…” Daniel said while rubbing his gut from the impact he got form Aya. Xeo just kept on looking while Maeda took his open cut and let the blood to collect more on his finger tip.
            “I just want to conduct this experiment to see whether or not my hypothesis is correct. Not to end my life, Daniel. Geez…” he said to him while walking back over the microscope and putting his blood into the gel sample. Observing under the scope, Maeda looked for anything that could answer his question. Over time he pulled his head away from the viewing lens while speaking to himself. “Hmmm…Yes…yes…this is…exactly as I…” he moved away from the instrument as he kept talking. “It’s just as I thought…Go ahead, take a look.”
            “What is it…?” Aya said while walking over and taking a gander of what Maeda was seeing. Able to make out the parts of the cells at such a high magnification, Aya was able to see the cell that Maeda used for his experiment. What were visible were the nucleolus, nucleus, vesicle, endoplasmic reticulum, cytoskeleton, lysosome, and the vacuole. Nothing different about Meada’s cells parts but that change as soon as Aya was able to catch a glimpse of what were the mitochondria. They mutated into a four star fish like creature with extra thorn shapes around the tube like feet. This change in the mitochondria made them maneuvered their way towards the nucleus of the cell as the four ends dove into the nucleus wall and took over the nucleolus. In the end they mitochondria have taken over the whole cell and could control the host. It would make sense for how Eve was able to use her powers to make the NMCs into what they are and how she was able to destroy all that would oppose her. Aya got her head away from the microscope’s lens and turn towards Maeda. “Your cells are completely surrounded…by them!”
            “As you can see,” Maeda explained to Aya while Xeo took a look into the scope’s lens. “The mitochondria, er, Eve has taken over the nucleus. In a similar manner, the beasts that attacked you probably experienced the same thing.” Xeo was able to view the mitochondria in action and believed what Maeda was saying.
            “You got that right! Those NMCs…uh…Neo-Mitochondria Creatures, as I what I think they are now, felt victim to Eve’s power,” Xeo said while taking a step back from the microscope and wanted Daniel to take a look. Daniel views the sample while talking to Maeda.
            “Does the mitochondria really have the power to control the nucleus?” he said while able to look back at Maeda. While they were talking, Aya started to think about what she just saw and what Daniel is asking. Xeo was able to see her look change from curious to fear as she began to look down while pondering.
            “Aya…?” Xeo walked over to her while she nodded and took a step back from him. Xeo thought he did something wrong but could tell that he didn’t want Daniel to get any bright ideas about being close to her side. He stood away and just kept seeing her emotions being to race again inside her mind.
            “No,” Maeda said to Daniel. “the “normal” mitochondria never has such power. But Eve’s mitochondria has gone thought tremendous evolutionary changes. This is what I think happened to Eve’s mitochondria. Normally, mitochondria require oxygen when they generate energy called ATP…”
            “Here we go again with this crap…” Daniel said in his mind after what Klamp did to him.
            “…So at this time, the mitochondria requests oxygen from the nucleus. The blood cells take the oxygen from within your lungs through the bloodstream which gets used to all the other cells that need it. From there it can take in the oxygen into the other cells that have mitochondria and a nucleus. ATP is done and co2 is the waste product from ATP. Without the energy supply from the mitochondria, the nucleus cannot function; even thought, oxygen was harsh to the mitochondria ages ago but safe within the cell’s membrane it can take the oxygen without dying…until now. So in essence, the two organelles constantly rely on each other. But in this case it seems that Eve developed the power to reverse this symbiotic relationship. Evolution, or even mutation seems likely in this case.”
            “Revered the cycle!?” Daniel said to Maeda.
            “Look at this…even with a limited number of cells, her cells have this much power. Can you imagine how much power Eve has within her WHOLE body…!?” he said at Daniel while trying to get an idea of what they were dealing with. Xeo felt like he was having a lesson on midi-chlorain theories back in his days with his parents on Corellia.
            “Her power…it would be something no one could be able to fight against…” Xeo said while Daniel and Maeda looked at him.
            “Ya but you could do all of that last night and even was a few feet away from Eve herself…what about you?” Daniel said while Aya cut everyone off for a moment while breaking out of her silence.
            “Maeda,” she said as everyone turned to her while her tone was unease and had fear echoing from her voice. “Could you test my cells?” Maeda was unsure about why she would ask that question but it made sense to him a moment later that she was able to be close enough to Eve without any harm done to her.
            “Sure, Aya…yes…but?” Maeda kept talking as Aya demined to know about her power from what Xeo has been telling her.
            “I want to know…I want to know why I have the power to fight her. I want to know where I stand with her!!” Xeo could feel more fear being felt within Aya’s mind as he couldn’t sit idly aside.
            “Aya…I told you about your power before. It’s not how you…” the Jedi spoke to her but Aya couldn’t take the unanswered question about herself anymore.
            “Xeo! I need to know this. I can’t just let words from you help me to understand that my power could be for the best. It can be something much…much worst!” Daniel walked over to Xeo while the Jedi could sense that he wasn’t friendly with Daniel at the moment.
            “If something is going to happen to my partner I better be damn sure that you’re not bullshitting her with your ways of The Force…she doesn’t have it and you can’t convicts her about anything until she knows.”
            “Even it means…something to regret about? Forever…? About the unknown…?” Xeo said while Daniel didn’t let up.
            “…It’s just how we are…Xeo,” he said while taking a step back from Xeo.
            “Please, Maeda! I need to know why!” Aya said while still feeling sorry about letting Xeo feel like he was the wrong person to get influenced by.
            “…Yes…Of course…” he sighs while helping Aya move over to the table that he took his own blood out. They both walked over as Maeda got the scalpel sterilized in alcohol. “I just need your arm.”
            “Like this?” Aya said while taking her arm out towards Maeda. He gets a cotton swab of alcohol over her smooth arm and rubs it down to where he was going to make his cut. “Ow!” she said while knowing that reaction was going to happen. Xeo kept looking on while feeling unease about Aya’s current drive towards here answer about herself. His words alone were enough to make her feel at ease as if she just lost faith in the Jedi’s will to explain about power and a choice to use it.
            “This looks good enough…okay come over here and I’ll get a fresh sample ready for your blood,” Maeda told Aya while a new sample was placed under the scope. Her blood then was added to the sample. From this point on Aya could only wait was Maeda kept looking through the viewing lens. Xeo thought it would be the right course of action to tell her about how he feels about her dissection to know the truth.
            “Aya. Whatever the outcome is…what I said was…” Xeo told her while her feelings of fear tried to be lifted away in her mind while she knew he was doing what Xeo thought was right. Aya nodded and could only hope to agree that he wasn’t lying or wrong about her powers.
            “Aya…” Maeda said while having a tone of uncertainly being sounded as everyone looked at him. Xeo could tell that Maeda was at a lost for words within his mind while trying to be as comfort as he could towards Aya. “I think you’d better see for yourself.”
            “What is it? Is something wrong?” she said while Maeda was moved aside for Aya to view under the scope. Again, Aya was able to make out the cell and there organelles within the cell membrane. It didn’t take long for the mitochondria to take up the mutation that she saw before. They did as before as they move towards the nucleus wall to attach onto it. All thought it felt like nothing has change from the pass viewing. Aya than was able to witness a change in the nucleus. The nucleus itself started to emit powerful energy towards the mitochondria and was able to push them away from taking control of it. Aya backed her head away from the scope and looked dead on to Maeda’s face with an expression of confusion. Xeo could only wait to know what just happened.
            “Do you realize what is happening?” Maeda said while Daniel tried to get a look under the scope for himself.
            “What in the fuck?” he said while Maeda felt like he was cut off from Daniel’s push and shove.
            “Your mitochondria are supplying more energy to the nuclei of your cells. It’s almost as if they are protecting the nuclei from Eve’s mitochondria.”
            “I’m…so lost in this!” Daniel said. “Why does Aya’s mitochondria have this kind of power?” Maeda turned around to give Daniel an answer.
            “I don’t know…I just…” he was without words to explain why this is possible without going back to biology basics. Aya walks away as they both were talking to each other while Xeo took a look at Aya’s sample. “Are you familiar with Richard Dawkins theory of ‘Selfish Gene’? in simple terms, it state that ‘genes act in a manner ot preserve and ensure survival of the species.’”
            “Hey man, I don’t read Scientific America or any of that shit on my off time…what’re you tryin’ to say?”
            “Depending on how you look at it, you can say that Eve is trying to destroy all mitochondria except her own. In response to that, Aya’s mitochondria has developed the power to rebel.” Maeda said while Daniel still didn’t understand everything. Aya wasn’t too sure about what she knows now and couldn’t begin to feel any kind of emotions but confusion. At this point, Xeo was able to tell what was happening within her body and the power she has. It wasn’t something on the nature of The Force but it was close enough to what his midi-chlorains were capable of.
            “Of for the love of…why only Aya’s? Shouldn’t be the same for us as well? We should also have that power base on…” Daniel kept implying while Maeda cuts him off.
            “That seems to follow the natural order of things, but I’m sorry, I don’t know why…” Maeda tried his best to answer but couldn’t think of one to be plausible. Daniel just sighs while unable to comprehend about what was happening as Aya was not so sure about herself. It was then Xeo had to know something for himself and to show everyone too.
            “I know why…I am a Jedi,” Xeo said while everyone turned towards him. “Now I must know about this mitochondrial organelle. What you have there is samples from Eve…I need to view a non-Eve mitochondria sample, Maeda.”
            “Right…I’ll just…use whatever I have left on my finger to use on a slide,” Maeda agreed to while walking over to get more blood on an empty unused slide. Once the sample was under the microscope Xeo was able to view Maeda’s cell again with no changes of whatever kind. Over a min, Xeo kept looking and lifted his head. “Uh…what does it look like without trying to mutate?” Everyone just looked at each other and rolled their eyes while Maeda came over to help him.
            “You really haven’t seen mitochondria in your life…or where you live.” Xeo nodded and just waited for Maeda to move aside. “There…take a look,” Maeda said while the Jedi was able to view the mitochondria without any changes of any kind. It was like a peanut shape with only the color of orange looking back in his view. It was then Xeo wasn’t able to contain himself as he lifted his head back very fast and was not able to think of the words he was about to say.
            “They…they look like midi-chlorians!” he said while Maeda and Aya didn’t understand at first.
            “What?” she said as Maeda walked over to him with a look of being confused.
            “What do you mean? I haven’t seen midi-chlorians before…”
            “Well…I’ll show you.” Xeo said while getting a slide for himself and taking another blade from the area that Maeda and Aya used before. “…ouch!” he said while drawing out his blood on to the slide he placed it under the scope and used it to find his midi-chlorians. It took him a moment but once he had it in view he looked at Maeda. “See for yourself…” Maeda walked over to view Xeo’s sample and was astonished by what he was seeing. He took a big step back and wasn’t able to think straight for a moment until he nodded to Xeo and then to Aya.
            “They are the same!”
            “What is going on!?” Daniel cried out! As Aya walked over to view Xeo’s sample under the microscope’s lens. For her to know about her power was one emotional trip but for her to know that Xeo’s midi-chlorains were the same as mitochondria.
            “The only difference is the color of light blue; Xeo has mitochondria look-a-likes in his cells!” Maeda said while Aya stopped looking and turn towards Xeo.
            “You…you weren’t lying at all. This is what makes you who you are?” Aya spoke to him as Daniel had to see for himself.
            “This is how I am a Jedi. And now that I know about how you are Aya…I wasn’t lying at all about how you have a power to control,” Xeo said while Aya still wasn’t able to agree with the Jedi completely.
            “Why is your nucleus look different than ours?” Maeda said while Aya jumped in over the conversation.
            “I understand how without mitochondria…we can’t live, Xeo but you…this is your mitochondria…these midi-chlorains?” Aya said
            “I still don’t know either. If what you said is true about the energy that they need to make the human body live…midi-chlorains would be the same too. I mean…with my training…I can hear them if I can focus my mind,” Xeo said while Aya even thought of another theory to add to his midi-chlorains.
            “Eve…even said about how they would be free. She can communicate with them with her own will. They are their own species…you think your midi-chlorains are?”
            “I would only think that would be possible…but if that is true…then why haven’t this happen before? An incident like this ‘Eve’ person in any part of the galaxy…still how can I not be effected by her power…with or without The Force,” he said while putting Aya’s sample back on under the scope to view.
            “What are you looking for now?” Aya asked Xeo.
            “To see if I am able to hear them…” he said while he closed his eyes and blurs out all the ambient noise in the room and slowly could begin to hear his midi-chlorains. The voices of his allies in which they use the power of The Force to help any Jedi; however, the voices of the midi-chlorains shifted anyway and his mind started to hear the voices of the mitochondria. At first he thought he was hearing the midi-chlorains and wasn’t able to pick them up until the voices started to be more erratic. Soon he was able to tell the difference by only a few tones in the mitochondria themselves but then he lost the will to hear them as another voice came from out of know where and echoed in his mind.
            “Sister…must help…”
            “What!?” Xeo said out loud as his eyes opened quick and almost lost his balance while trying to stand back up. Aya came to his aid while Maeda and Daniel just looked at each other to know what just happened. “I…I heard a voice…many voices…both were the same! Mitochondria and Midi-Chlorains!”
            “What!?” They all said at the same time. It was just then that Xeo’s attention veered away from the conversation as he looked at the door. It started to open up fast as Xeo got up from Aya’s arms and both cops draw their guns at a man walking into the room. To their surprise, expect for Maeda for this is his for time, which Dr. Klamp was standing before for them.
            “…Professor!?” Aya said while still taking aim at his head. They both holster back their guns as Klamp just looked at all of them with disgusted
            “…What’re you doing in my lab!? This is breaking and entering!” he said while acting high and mighty still towards the cops as Maeda did now understand why Daniel didn’t want to go. He was able to get an idea that Klamp was an ambitious and egotistical scientist that wanted nothing more that his work to be the only work all can look pone. As for Xeo this was his time to know Klamp’s true intentions of the mitochondria research without hiding away in the car like before. The power of The Force would be able to dove into his mind easily but he had to be sure that he wasn’t a weak minded man.
            “Why hasn’t your sorry ass been evacuated from the city yet!?” Daniel said while being as nice as he could.
            “Daniel…” Xeo said while trying to hint towards him in his serious tone to ease off his anger. Klamp move aside Maeda and Aya while walking back to his computer desk.
            “I’m asking why you people are IN MY LAB!!” Klamp yelled at everyone for an ansnwer.
            “We…we’re just…” Daniel tried to answer him while not cursing him out again.
            “We’ve received order to evacuate this city.” Aya said towards Klamp as he wasn’t moved by any of the words the cops were telling him. “Professor, you really should…”
            “I tell you…COPS!” Klamp said back to all of them. “Heh, cops…they are the ones corrupting this fine city. Your moral rights you give to those on the streets get abused every single day. Hell, you even try to let those who have done no wrong get the worst of your kind by doing disgusting things that…ugh. I’m even a scientist and that even makes me feel sick. Sick enough to see you cops again!”
            “I’m…I’m sorry!” Maeda said to Klamp as Daniel walked away from not punching his lights out. “It was my fault, you see…I asked them to bring me here…”
            “Who the hell are YOU?” Klamp demanded while his patience was wearing thin.
            “Oh. I…I’m Kunihiko Maeda and I’m a scientist from Japan…” Maeda said while Klamp stood for a moment and look at him then saw Aya.
            “I’m might have a theory…you’re with that cop aren’t you? Being both Japanese and all?” Klamp said to get a crud remark at Aya and Maeda. Aya knew Klamp was trying to get to her but it didn’t take long for Xeo to step in.
            “You’re deduction in logic is wrong. Maybe you should try to research about people’s emotions more carefully instead of making up hypnosis that are purely…subjective in nature?” Klamp turns to Xeo and could tell he wasn’t a push over.
            “I see you have rookie with you. He needs to know his place…”
            “I assure you, Klamp. I know what I stand…I’m not so sure about you and how you’re acting…” Xeo said while now trying to read his mind about his thoughts. He could begin to feel the slight emotions of frustration while being able to tell about his vast knowledge of research. It was well detailed in his mind that Xeo almost felt like he was lost within a holocron of biology only. Klamp just turned away from Xeo.
            “…You were using my electronic microscope…” Klamp said towards Maeda, unaware that Xeo used it last. Daniel kept walking around the room trying not to deck Klamp into the ground yet he looked at Xeo and gave him a thumb up for what he told the professor. He nodded just to be sure the keep Daniel in check while Aya looked at Xeo and thought of how he defended her was the only way to get Klamp to know his place, even in his own office. “First I get the cops in here…then came the attacks outside near my office. Then you people come back…breaking into my room with an amateur scientist that’s not even from America and to get chewed out by…” Klamp kept complaining while viewing the microscope for any signs of damage but that is when he was able to see the sample Aya had made. Xeo left it and Klamp was shocked by what he was seeing. “Wha..!? What is this!? Where did you get this…specimen!?” Aya felt like she wasn’t human anymore after Klamp’s outburst of discovery. She didn’t want to show any signs of weakness while Daniel and Xeo felt like something bad was going to be said from Klamp. He turn away from the view lens towards Maeda and yells, “You! Where did you get these…Cells?”
            “Th…those are…” Maeda tried to not give out Aya’s name for Klamp but he couldn’t think of any other possible answers. “I…I…I don’t know…” It was the only thing he could say to Klamp while he looks dead straight into Maeda’s eyes.
            “Don’t take me for a fool!? With cells like these They must affect the boy’s natural state!” Maeda was trying to play dumb with Klamp in what he wanted Aya to know for herself. “Oh, shut up!...I’ll just ask! You…rookie!” Klamp said while Xeo just cuts him off in mid-speech.
            “It’s Xeo…Klamp.”
            “What kind of a name is that!? Now you let people with names that doesn’t make sense join your ranks? I swear…you cops killing this fine city! Fine if you’re going to give me another thing to complain about. I’ll ask the responsible one for this sample. Officer Brea!” Klamp said with a tone of being sure. “Your cells contain a tremendous amount of energy…” the egotistical professor sets away from the microscope and walks towards Aya to look at her as if she was a sample to him. “Do you feel any…bodily changes? You should feel…somewhat…hot? No…?” he kept saying while Aya tried not to answer back while she felt like she was being examined by him against her will. “Speak up, officer…I can’t here you. Have you lost consciousness anytime recently?” Xeo started to pick on Klamp and his train of thought thinking he knew what Aya was and wanted to stop it but his mind was not so easily tampered by The Force. He tried his best to shunt his mind but it was only felt with different mixed thoughts; however, it only took Klamp a while to look at Xeo in why he was looking at him with a blank stare. “Hey! What is this to you Xeo!?” At that point Daniel turned towards the computer while unable to do anything to Klamp without a good enough reason to get fired from his job. He knows that Klamp would call up Baker and get him in trouble as if he wasn’t in hot water with him already. Daniel then looked at the computer screen and was able to make out two names that were visible and close to him.
            “Hey! What the hell is this!? Why’s my boy’s name here!? Lorraine!! Lorraine’s on here too! KLAMP!!!” he said while his anger came back to resurface. Xeo could only tell that he won’t last long if his dead wife had anything to do with Klamp last night. “You tell me…right now!!
            “How did that…” Klamp said while rushing over to the computer and turning it off as Daniel wasn’t about to get an answer out of him.
            “YOU!!! You tell me what that list is for! Tell Me, you hear!?” he yelled at Klamp while now grapping his lab coat and holding him with every ounce of his inner rage at him. Xeo could only sit back for not much longer before he had to end this. Aya and Maeda were just standing back as they can’t do anything about Daniel’s rage now.
            “Let go of me…” Klamp said while trying to speak. Aya rushes over to Daniel to make him stop. “I don’t have to tell you…anything.”
            “…What!?”
            “Daniel, calm down…” Aya said while Maeda felt left out.
            “Remember what the Jedi said before…I mean Xeo…” Maeda yelled out while Xeo looked at him with his eyes wide open with an expression of worry. Maeda didn’t understand at first but knew that what he said could have been sensitive information. Daniel, unable to bring himself to making Klamp into hamburger meat, puts Klamp down for it was the only thing he could do.
            “Damn!” Daniel said while Klamp fixes his lab coat and suit.
            “Get outta here! NOW!” Klamp yelled at everyone while Daniel walks off without letting go of his anger towards him. Aya thought the whole situation got out of hand and knew it was time to just leave.
            “Sorry to disturb you.” Aya said while Klamp had nothing else to say. “But we do have to officially warn you of the evacuation. Please remember that…” she begins to walk away from Klamp’s office while he tells her a question to Aya.
            “Officer Brea…do you enjoy having that barbarian for a partner?” Aya said nothing more to Klamp as Maeda walked away out of the room.
            “Thank you…er…bye,” Maeda said to him while rushing out of there. Aya and Xeo started to walk for the door again while Klamp had one more thing to get off his chest.
            “By the way…Xeo. I can tell you’re no cop. No one would ever talk about to me in that calm tone of yours,” he said while Aya looked back at Xeo and he looked at Klamp.
            “At least I’m not the problem with the city falling apart. Unlike someone I know who isn’t follow his instincts to survive should anything happen to this person was attacked in his own office.”
            “We shall see…Xeo…or whatever Maeda called you…” Klamp said while knowing what Xeo was trying to speak of. Aya then headed for the exit of Klamp’s office and Xeo soon followed and closed the door. Soon as they left Klamp was alone in his office to only speak to himself. “…It’s too late now…it’s too late to do anything now…even for you. My little Jedi friend.”
