The Greater Good.

[Erasmas]

A group of four soldiers in powered armor leave the Reunion from the docking port and approach Lennox and his cargo, followed by a woman in a black and white jumpsuit.

Cerberus ATCU: Agent Lennox, I am lieutenant Payne of the Cerberus Alien Threat Containment Unit; captain Gaiman sent us to secure the cargo in the Reunion's laboratories. Ensign Aiko will escort you to the meeting; thank you for your cooperation.

While the troopers proceed to take care of the containers, the woman smiles politely at Lennox and gestures him to follow her.

[Lennox]

He moves his glance from the troopers and the containers away to woman that came after them. They have to be from Cerbererus. He isn't completely sure but as he sees the emblem of their organisation he can remember the open broadcast message that have been sent via the Neural Net. The emblem at the beginning of the trasmission was the same like the emblem the woman is carrying.

Though, he never really met one of their organisation before but who else would care about the freight? He nods at the woman, returning a friendly smile, and follows her. This is his first time at Ames, he only heard about what's it's purpose and he wasn't sure about what he have heard.

"Alright....I guess the others are already at the meeting point and waiting?"

[Xenord]

Strange guy was coming closer ignoring Cerberus units

Guten Tag meine herren. I'm sorry for this interruption of your talks

He puts off his helmet and it was Mark Neumann-Cerberus Leutenant

He smiles, and salutes to people around him

[Erasmas]

Ensign Aiko: *nods to Lennox* Yes sir, the captain and her team are already talking with the Corona officers, and doctor Bohr of the LRI joined them a few minutes ago. Please allow me to show you the way, these Zoner stations have a somewhat erratic architecture.... *turns to the incoming man* Oh, lieutenant Neumann! *salutes* I am sorry, sir, I wasn't aware of your arrival. Please, join us.
The young ensign guides the two officers on the way to the CB-owned department.

[Xenord]

Neumann: Danke, Ensign.

He turned on holographic pannel on his wrist

Neumann: QAI, establish observation around Ames, but just keep Wanderer in X-matrix.

Neumann: So Ensign, tell me more about this place and about what already happened here

Neumann: Ah almost forgot....

Neumann: QAI, tell Nikolai that I want to see him here too

Neumann looked at Ensign, and prepared to listen

---

[Lennox]

It is not like he doesn't like how the building is structured. It is good to see other walls than the ones at Toledo or on the Isis. Always the same color and same look. He noticed a man joined. He throws a short nod to the man who follows the Ensign and him and turns back to the young woman.

"I see....I guess Admiral Orias is already there, too?"

As they arrive at the elevator Lennox stops, inspecting the 'gadget'. As it opens the three persons step inside. Lennox never liked elevators. They are so small. But he controls his body and keeps relaxed. The woman presses a button and the elevator begins to move.

[Xenord]

Neumann looked at Lennox with suspicion

He checked his pistol,rearm it,and entered to the elevator

Neumann: I know enough about you, but I don't know what primary fleet forgot here. But I ought to warn you that I don't like spies,same goes for traitors. So if I'll catch you doing something very unfriendly I'll kill you. No exceptions to anyone. So no offence.

He smiles friendly

Neumann: I know nice bar not far from CB office...But their beer.... You'd better don't even try to drink it.

At the same time on Wanderer ,deck A

Nikolai: Neumann told us to set Code Red on ship....So Shock Troopers get your guns ready
Nikolai: But keep Wanderer in X-matrix.
Nikolai: Urrggh, How I hate Code Red....but can we trust Corona Battle group...So better to be prepared

As usual he didn't notice that he is talking to himself

Nikolai: Well let's see what Corona scientists have found out.
Nikolai: QAI, now you in charge on Wanderer...don't do anything without Neumann's command.

But ship was ready....And if something will go bad...Wanderere will react immediately

QAI: Roger, your shuttle arriving to shuttle bay 1.

Nikolai takes a deep breath

Nikolai: So game started...For Greater Good or Greater Evil....Doesn't matter.

He started to move to shuttle

Soon shuttle docked with Ames and Nikolai stepped to Ames hangar

He started to look for elevator and soon found it

Nikolai: Neumann, I will come soon.

[Lennox]

He rises an eyebrow as the man talks to him. He isn't here to harm anybody. Neither to kill somebody. He wonders about the hostility of Neumann.

"I do not intend to do anything like this Mister....I am here for business and probably a solution for the future of humanity in connection to the Slomon K'Hara..."

He moves his glance away from the man again. As the elevator stops the three persons step out. Lennox feels watched. It is obvious the man behind him actually doesn't like him for some reason. He tries to ignore that fact and concentrates his thoughts back to the woman, where she is walking to.

[Xenord]

Neumann was looking around

Neumann: This station looks like Military barrack.
Neumann: Ah good old day in Rheinwehr ODST forces.

He smiles once again

Neumann: Herr Lennox, I've heard you have some presents.
Neumann: Our "big head" guys will be happy....You know they are always happy if you bring something valuable to them....just like kids.

---

[Lennox]

He scratches his head, wondering about the behaviour of Neumann. He just replies with a nod, actually not knowing what to answer to something like this.

He feels misunderstood in his intentions at the station. He just came here to help Cerberus and the Corona Battlegroup with their researches due bringing the alien remains to them.

He has a theory about the connection between the nomads. Especially between nomads outside of hosts and inside of hosts. He walks almost next to the Ensign like he would know the way. He tries to avoid confrontations with Meier, since he is not here to argue about simple things.
