A Bio-Weapon’s Rhapsody-Chapter 239: Alexa has not seen Hell, she has only seen Ohio!
The [Eleanore] in the screen recovered after some time and outright jumped from the building, a few seconds later she showed once more on the screen, after jumping back up. Was she that strong?
"Sorry about that, I dropped my phone."
[Eleanore] said,
"Can you repeat the last thing you said?"
"...Alexa is here with us, do you want to speak to her?" Aunty Viv said again, "I can attest that she is healthy. Miriam brought it for a health check-up."
"Yeah," The mom person said from the side, "I found her unconscious, so we were worried. We are looking for her guardians."
"[Truth]"
, [Eleanore] repeated once more, her eyes shining with a stronger azure light this time,
"Goddamned truth... No wait, guardians... We do have a line of contact to her brother... But I am unsure if it would be wise to use it."
They had?
"Any other point of contact besides the brother?" The mom person chimed suddenly, "Any other family?"
"None, when he came into the equation, our right to act as a guardian was put in question."
[Eleanore] said shaking her head,
"And even if it wasn't. As soon as she was deemed dead, we scrubbed her from our database, even with the complaints of my boss. Since we couldn't provide proof of her being alive for more than seventy-two hours..."
Oh right, what was the deal with that?
"So you had proof of her death almost two weeks ago?" Aunty Viv asked, "What proof? Do you have any copies of the medical records?"
"There were no medical records, all we had was a body cam footage."
[Eleanore] said sighing aloud,
"We had visual confirmation from one ouf our employees."
"That's all?" Aunty Viv asked surprised, "No vitals taken? No medical examination? Nothing?"
"Her body was taken by Alexa's family, even if he claimed that it wasn't her sister."
[Eleanore] answered gripping the barandal at the side of the veranda she stood,
"I should have known better, especially from that family. Even if he claimed that the sister wasn't dead, why would he want to take the body?"
"You know what family she is from?" The mom person asked, "You know Alexa's brother's Identity?"
"Of course I know she is a Saintsworths. I don't know which spoiled brat she is the sister of, but I know he is somewhat high on the echelon."
[Eleanore] answered, then, sitting against the veranda, she put the phone to the side, pulling out a device that she put directly into her ear. Was that a headphone?
"You know her brother? Since you are asking, is he that important?"
"...You could say so." The mom person said turning to Alexa, "She never told you?"
"We didn't ask, she may seem like that, and while her alternate personalities are more mature, she is still a little kid."
[Eleanore] answered and then looked to the sky,
"I didn't want to stimulate her trauma, or make her remember bad memories."
"Do you want to know?" Aunty Viv asked, "I assume Alexa wouldn't mind."
Alexa shook her head.
"No,"
[Eleanore] answered, her eyes shining with azure light that seemed to illuminate something, the light from the fire in her eyes seemed to make an ethereal sword above her to become faintly visible,
"I burned my chance with her. At least till Alexa forgives me, I will stay away from involving myself with her, unless she seeks my help. I don't intend to meddle in her life."
Alexa could respect that!
"Well, if there aren't any guardians, then that is that." The mom person said sighing, "At least tell Alexa's friends that she is fine?"
Ah!
"Tell [Big Sister] that Ale is fine!" Alexa remembered, Ale was quite close with [Fan Girl]!
So that was the least [Eleanore] could do!
[Eleanore] didn't seem to react to Alexa's voice, was it filtered?
"Can you tell any [Big Sister] of Ale that she is fine?" Aunty Viv said to the screen, "Does she have more family?"
"Big Sister? That should be one of her neighbors."
[Eleanore] answered smiling faintly,
"I will tell them, they were quite depressed after finding out. But if she isn't dead... then what was that?"
[Eleanore] couldn't help but ask aloud.
"What?" Aunty Viv, of course, bit into that mention as fast as she could, "What did the Saintsworths that was there do?"
The Mom person also gulped as Aunty Viv said that.
"Remember that I said that her body was taken?"
[Eleanore] pointed.
Oh right, if Alexa's body was taken, then what was Alexa wearing right now?
"That's impossible." Aunty Viv pointed, "As we have Alexa with us."
"Exactly,"
[Eleanore] nodded at that statement, not that she knew they could see her nodding!
"Alexa's brother took the body of our employee. They took the body of Alexandra Saintsworths."
"Alexa's oldest sister?" The mom person chimed from the side.
"Sister? No, that is the adult personality that Alexa nurtured to deal with the adult world."
[Eleanore] said shaking her head,
"I saw the footage, she was, without a shred of doubt, dead."
"Can you provide the footage?" Aunty Viv asked, "We will pay for it."
"You know I can't violate the confidentiality clause-"
[Eleanore] started answering but was interrupted, by what? By Aunty Viv of course!
"Do we need to use the official channels and ask Hephaestus' Forge for the footage?" Aunty Viv asked, making [Eleanore] suddenly sit straighter, "Or should we use the authority within the Saintsworths?"
"...How much do you know?"
[Eleanore] asked narrowing her eyes and glaring at the phone, then turning and glaring to the camera,
"Who told you that? Alexa?"
"Do you think the Saintsworths wouldn't check the background of their employees?" Aunty Viv smirked as she answered, "Both Miriam and me work in quite high positions within the Saintsworths, all our past was scoured to seek troublematic points. And anything that was deemed important was noted, categorized, and tracked."
"We didn't mean to found like this Eleanore, we promise." The mom person chimed from the side, "And we wouldn't ask if it wasn't important, but Ale. One of Alexa's sisters is suffering from a health issue and if there was a body left of their older sister..."
"We are asking because it could affect Alexa." Aunty Viv nodded as she said as much, "So, can you provide the footage?"
"More goddamned [Truth]."
[Eleanore] spat the words as if they tasted as ash,
"...I can ask, but I promise nothing."
[Eleanore] then pulled her phone and started mashing at the screen, Alexa wondered what she was doing.
"[Albireo: She is ing the issue to her boss.]"
"[Albireo: And he in turn is asking for authorization to release the files, do you wish to grant said authorization?]"
Alexa could decide?
"[Ale: Grant the authorization, also ensure all the data on the event is sent to us, sanitize as much as you deem apropiate and allow that to be seen on the big screen.]"
Ale was the one to answer before Alexa could say anything!
"[Alibreo: As you wish Mistress.]"
And the nice lady in the wifi answered!
They both ignored Alexa!
"Can I send the data to you to your old email?"
[Eleanore] asked after taking a couple of seconds to think.
"Yes," The mom person said, "Vivian, can we open it on this network? Is it safe?"
"If it's on your personal account it should be safe, but we may need to isolate it from the rest of the network..." Aunty Viv pointed behind her, to one of the corners where they had the data banks.
But wasn't that already isolated?
"[The laboratory has been isolated from the rest of the networks as part of the normal procedure.]"
The nice lady said so!
"Ah right, then everything is fine. Send the data Eleanore." The mom person turned to the screen.
"File sent, that is all I have. My employer only allowed this data to be transmitted and some is censored."
[Eleanore] said to the cellphone,
"Do not try to use this to worm your way back, Vulcanus may be on the better side, but he is still a Super Villain."
"Noted." Aunty Viv said as they waited for the mom person to open the file.
She walked to the side to one of the keyboards and started navigating the applications on the monitor. After a few minutes of doing that she ended up saying aloud, "Albireo, can you project this file? If you do so, will there be a leftover of the data on the Saintsworths servers?"
That was the important question wasn't?
"[As the devices within this laboratory are isolated, nothing will be transmitted. I will be able to see it, but this instance will not share anything with the other instances outside]"
The nice lady answered.
And then, within Alexa's mind the extra was added of
"[If you require for my assistance, this data can be recovered whenever it is needed.]"
To which Alexa nodded.
"Okay, then come this side Vivian," The mom person said and when Alexa started walking there too, a hand was raised to stop her! Injustice! "Alexa... Good cute girls don't watch these things."
Gnnuuuuuuuh
Alexa was a good girl, she was also a cute girl, but she also wanted to see!
"[Ale: You don't have to.]"
But Alexa wanted to seeeeeee! She also wanted to see what happened to Alexandra!
"[Ale: It's not pretty.]"
"Of course it isn't pretty, Alexandra was the most beautiful, you are the prettiest!"
Alexa retorted inwardly, remembering that she could also speak inwardly!
"Oh god...." Aunty Viv said as she saw whatever it was there.
"It's not pretty."
[Eleanore] spoke on the other side of the screen,
"Now you see why I was convinced she was dead."
"How..." The mom person asked, "Vivian... Can... Can someone survive this?"
"No," Aunty Viv said shaking her head, "The wounds alone are problematic, but those... those mean that the Core is either going out of control or is too unstable. See, you can see the skin and flesh already turning translucent."
Alexa wanted too seeeeee..........
Wait!
[Main Core! Show Alexa the thing!]
Alexa remembered! She had a trusty servant!
"[Ale: No!]"
[Order Acknowledged, opening data file.]
Alexa smirked as she saw a blue screen materialize in front of her, it was like how Core spoke to her!
And sure enough inside was a photo of Alexandra with a smile on her face and her eyes closed, she looked eepy!
"..."
"Why does Alexandra have weird purple crystals growing on her arm?" Alexa asked pointing at the point on the screen they were using to to see it too, she roughly calculated where it would be on that image.
"...How are you seeing it?" Aunty Viv said confused, "Did Albireo transmit it somewhere else?"
"I can't see it,"
[Eleanore] answered on the TV,
"But even without knowing about medicine I know when someone has lethal wounds."
"Not you, Alexa is seeing it, even though she is standing behind the monitor." The mom person said, "Alexa dear, how are you seeing it? Good girls shouldn't see these kind of images."
"Ah, if you are worried about that you don't have to."
[Eleanore] said with a sad smile on her face,
"She has sadly seen worse, so much worse... Oh right, you said you had high clearance right? Search in one of your evil databases for the project Happy Meal. It's a black site."
Happy meal?
The food that Alexa ate in the fake meat place?
"Albireo." Aunty Viv merely said aloud.
"[Searching... Please wait a second.]"
"This has been bothering me," The mom person said turning to the [Eleanore] on the screen, "Why are you ignoring Alexa's voice?"
"I can't hear her voice."
[Eleanore] stated,
"This I swear."
"...Albireo must be censoring or blocking it." Aunty Viv said, "The call goes through Alibreo, so they must have deemed Alexa's identity sensitive enough to block it."
"Like right there, I don't know what you said, but I assume it was a name that was censored. I don't know throught what the call goes, but the name got censored."
[Eleanore] shrugged,
"Any luck with the search?"
"[Found a match, it's within the newest to be given to the military police. Do you wish for a resume on it?]"
The Nice Lady said.
"Yes, send the full to my inbox, just give me the abridged version." Aunty Viv said nodding, "Focus on why it affects Alexa and what Eleanore meant."
"[Project Happy Meal, it was a human experimentation facility helmed by Alfred Miller. The site focused on the rearing and training of child weapons and research into the development of means to prolong the lifespan of people by means of replacing organs with mechanical components.]"
The nice lady resumed then a series of experiments that to be honest, Alexa thought weren't that smart.
Why would you replace a liver with a mechanical liver? Wasn't a normal liver good enough?
"[Lady Alexa is on the list of confirmed victims of this, there was evidence of the kidnaping of a Saintsworths inheritor, this part of the data was not part of the data provided by Haephestus Forge to the law forces, but something that was provided to the Saintsworths Conglomerate from a third party.]"
"...What?" The mom person said turning to Alexa, tears in her eyes. "What?"
"Yeah, for better or for worse, Alexa has seen hell."
[Eleanore] said sighing on the other side of the line,
"I can't share the data we got, but I assume it will be somewhat similar to what it is within your own databases, as you have access to law enforcement databases, no doubt."
"There is no evidence that proves that statement." Aunty Viv said succinctly, "But we will check on that, or well. I assure you that Miriam will."
"Those bastards..."
The mom person had this whole change in her presence as if she was a last boss at the end of a Hero's journey, "... Thank you for the tip, Eleanore, can I ask something extremely rude of you?"
"... Depends,"
[Eleanore] answered,
"What do you have in mind? I will not help the Saintsworths."
"It's not for them, depending on how it ends it could even make them take a loss." The mom person said after calming a little, "But it will be incredibly unfair to you, and will even put you at risk. It doesn't matter how much we sanitize the connection, chances are the Saintsworths central Artificial Intelligence will get this communication between us. And while it will not share it willingly with the High Council... There is no guarantee that it may not end in the hands of a Saintsworths."
"... You may ask, but I will think about answering."
[Eleanore] said after thinking for a few seconds.
"Your power... It allows you to determine if something is true, is it based on your knowledge or not?" The mom person asked, "To elaborate, if you think something is true, but the reality is that it is not. Will your Core Power answer it as true or false?"
"It... depends,"
[Eleanore] answered after thinking for a few seconds,
"If I am doing it superficially without pulling too much Mana into my core, then it answers based on the knowledge I have access to, it doesn't matter if I actively know it to be true or not. If the information is something I was made aware even by someone talking about it near me, then my Core Power can use that as a mean."
"So if you don't know or aren't aware, your core power can be deceived." The mom person said.
"If... I pull all the stops and use my power at maximum output..."
[Eleanore] said after mulling something,
"I can answer if something is true or not. I will not know the question or the answer... And will feel like shit for a week or two... But it is possible."
"..." The mom person took that and then turned to Aunty Viv. "What do you want? What do you want in return for allowing me to ask something?"
"Will it wipe the smirk off the blonde bastard at the top of the Saintsworths?"
[Eleanore] said,
"Will this be something that will make that know-it-all all asshole of Alexanders Saintsworths squirm?"
"... Depending on your answer it just may." The mom person said, "But I can't guarantee the result."
