CHANGING DARKNESS INTO THE LIGHT
Book 1: Changing Darkness
Chapter 3: Opportunities
Tokyo 3. The city where he should be able to find the answers he needs.
Reaching the city wasn't really a problem, a little walk was enough to do so.
The city itself was kind of impressive. The reinforced buildings, the hidden weapons, the obvious
battle designed layout of the streets, concrete, glass and steel. A modern city that
had really something to show.
<Invasion of this city wouldn't be too easy. A standard assault would be turned down by the
armor-buildings, which would result in heavy losses. Orbital bombardment would be a good choice,
if it is possible.>
Finding an entrance to the sublevel NERV headquarters wasn't really a challenge. Every few blocks
had one of them.
<Security is high, but the design isn't made to withstand an invasion. I wonder why? The city is a fortress,
but the heart lies almost free compared to the installations on the surface. If they are taken down,
invasion of the headquarters would be no problem. Whoever designed this, was a complete idiot.>
The two guards were no problem, and neither were the security cameras and sensors. They all can be overridden
by the guards, and they were already bored to death.
The entrance was easy. The layout of the facility was like a maze, but with a logical design.
<This design is good. It's almost impossible to get lost. All you have to do is to memorize the basic layout
and you've got no problems. Considering how huge this facility is, this is the best design I've seen
so far for a headquarters.
The most important things lie deep down, so this is were I should search. But first I need to disable
the security systems or I would lose too much time, and, much more importantly, they would be able to follow
my path. All systems are controlled by a computer, which should be in the command center. Penetrating the
security of the command center isn't easy, this place was clearly designed to stop such attempts.
I should search for some terminals in the labs, maybe I can find a terminal with the access I need.>
Only 15 minutes later, he found what he was searching for. In the little office of a 1st Lieutenant Ibuki,
he found a terminal with the access he needed.
<Good. Now let's see what I can do do dampen the security. A standard virus should be sufficient.>
Which wasn't. The virus was destroyed faster than he had uploaded it.
<Not good. That leaves only 2 possibilities.>
The second attempt was multi-attack with 3 programs thet were able to force every republican computer
to surrender. And these were a lot of faster than this.
<ATTEMPT FAILED! I thought it was impossible to see this message with this program.
That means I have to go to the central command and fry the core.>
Suddenly, a message appeared on the screen: WHO ARE YOU?
<Great, they've found me. Well, I'll play this little game and give them the time to bring in the security.
I haven't killed for almost 2 weeks.>
So he entered the message: I am the one which cannot be stopped. Try it, and you will fail.
WHY DO YOU ATTACK ME?
:Are you stupid? If you haven't figured it out, I'm an intruder. So, I have the natural desire to shut
the security down. Because then, I can search for the answers I need, and fulfill my duty. Got that?:
WHICH ANSWERS DO YOU SEEK?
: What is an AT-field? How does it function? What do I need to replicate this technology? What are
the prophecies? What is SEELE? Which military technologies are stored to defend this place?:
I CAN GIVE YOU THE ANSWERS. FOR A PRICE.
:I'm interested.:
I HAVE GIVEN YOU THE SECURITY CLEARENCE TO ENTER THE COMMAND CENTER. IN THE COMMAND
CENTER, GO DOWN TO MY THREE CORES. IN THE WALL OPPOSITE TO MY SECOND CORE, YOU WILL
FIND A VENT SHAFT. ENTER AND FOLLOW IT.
THIS WILL LEAD YOU TO ME.
<Great, hide'n seek. 1 Googolplex to 1 that at the end of this little climbing, I have someone to kill.>
No security was seen on his way to the command center. No one hindered him on the entrance, no one
asked questions as he went down to the cores, no one gave a comment as he entered the ventilation shaft.
<They trust these computers way too much. Once cleared by it, nobody is suspicious.>
At the end of the shaft, he was deep inside of one of the cores. An armored plate with "Caspar" written
on it, surrounded by 4 link slots was the end of the way.
<No one here? I'm disappointed. But since I have such a nice opportunity, I can mess up the computer.>
He linked his datapad with the computer, and was ready for a new attempt to fry the security, when a
message appeared on the datapad's screen: WELCOME
<This is strange. Who is this?>
:I'm here, but where are you?:
IN FRONT OF YOU
<????? This isn't possible. .......Or maybe..?>
He reached out with the force, and searched for a lifesign of the unknown person. And he found one.
<What the fuck? The only mind I can find is inside of this thing?>
:Are you the computer?:
YES
:You are aware? Alive?:
KIND OF
:Who are you?:
NAOKO AKAGI, HEAD OF THE COMPUTER SCIENCE DIVISION OF GEHIRN, NOW KNOWN AS NERV
:Why are you inside of this machine?:
I WAS BETRAYED. I WAS MANIPULATED.
:That doesn't expain why you are inside of a machine.:
I WAS FORCED TO COMMIT SUICIDE.
:Forced?:
I WAS IN A SITUATION WHERE THIS WAS THE BEST SOLUTION. BUT I WAS BETRAYED AGAIN.
INSTEAD OF DEATH, THEY CAPTURED MY SOUL AND TRANSFERRED IT INTO THIS MACHINE.
: Captured your soul? Hard to believe, but I can feel your presence, so I have no room to argue.
Especially if you really give me the information I need.:
YOU CAN FEEL ME? ARE YOU ONE OF THE MESSENGERS?
: What messengers? I can feel you because I have the ability to do so. And the only message I carry
is my own.
I DO NOT UNDERSTAND.
: Which isn't really necessary. What is your price?:
REVENGE.
:Sounds good. Who?:
IKARI GENDO
:The commander. No problem. Tonight he will die, at latest tomorrow, you'll have the confirmation of his death
in the data banks.:
NO.
:I thought this is what you wanted?:
TO HAVE MY REVENGE, YOU NEED TO DESTROY HIS SCENARIO, THEN HIS BODY. DESTROY HIS PLANS,
DESTROY SEELE'S PLANS, AND AFTER THAT, WIPE THEM OUT.
: What scenario? What plans?:
I'LL UPLOAD THE DATA ON YOUR COMPUTER. AND I'LL GIVE YOU AN APPETIZER. RAID SEELE'S
DATA BANKS IN ROME. THERE YOU WILL FIND MOST OF THE INFORMATION YOU SEARCH FOR.
: Wwhat's to stop me from simply disappearing after I have the info?:
YOU WILL NOT UNDERSTAND THEM. ONLY I, MY DAUGHTER, KYOKO ZEPPELIN SORYU AND YUI IKARI
CAN TELL YOU WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW. KYOKO AND YUI ARE IN A WORSE STATE THAN MYSELF,
AND MY DAUGHTER IS LOYAL TO THE MAN I HATE MOST.
: So, you daughter's screwing that Ikari asshole. But what do you mean with a state worse than yourself?:
YOU WILL KNOW WHEN THE TIME HAS COME. DATA TRANSFER COMPLETED. CONTACT ME HERE IF YOU
NEED MY HELP TO FULFILL YOUR PART OF THE TRADE.
: Affirmative. Over and out.:
4 Hours later, he was on his way to Rome.
------------------------------------------------------------ ------------ ---------------------------
<Acording to the data, there is too much to transport for me to do this alone. The original scrolls of Qumran,
lots of computers that aren't connected with each other, thousands of reports in paper form, tens of thousands
of other documents and last but not least an entire library.>
The place where all of this was stored, was a large villa on the outskirts of Rome. High walls, guard towers,
dogs, dozens of guards and a large amount of electronic security devices provided high security on the entire
area.
<Security would be no problem. Kill the guards and the dogs, fry the electronics with an EMP grenade, and I can
do whatever I want. But I don't think that it would be wise to do so. I can not avoid turning this into a large
mess, but i have to make sure that they think that it was an entire force, not a single man. Even these idiots
would know that something is really wrong when one man wipes their greatest storage facility out.
With an entire team, they have to guess who it is that would wanna mess with them.>
He got back to his fighter and activated the communication.
"Captain Neade."
"Yes, Sir."
"I need a team of Stormtroopers for a frontal assault against a lightly defended base. No heavy weapons.
30, max. 50 men. Close combat specialists. It will be too large for an entire unnoticed covert operation,
but I don't want to start an entire war here, at least not now. And send some tech teams with anti-grav
equipment, I have a large amount of freight which is needed to be brought on the ship."
"Yes, Sir. The team will be ready in 4 minutes, the techs in 6 minutes. I'll send all three of our assault
transports so you will have enough storage room. Expect the arrival on your location in 27 minutes. Sir."
With that, the communication ended.
----------------------------------------------------------- ------------- ---------------------------
4 hours later, 2300 local time, the operation begun.
He went to the main gate, where two guards stood. He drew his lightsword and the blade came to life with a
sharp hiss. It bathed the environment in a dark blue light.
The first guard fell to this blade. He sliced him through the chest, so that the 2 parts of what once was a
functioning body fell on the floor. At the same time, he shot the second guard with his blaster in the face,
so that the entire head exploded in a shower of blood.
Then he sliced through the door.
5 seconds later, 6 snipers opened fire with their long distance blasters.
8 seconds later, 44 men in 4 groups begun with their attack on all 4 sides of the compound. The detonations
of vibro grenades that pulverized the walls were the only warning for the surviving guards.
Too late.
Less then 3 minutes later, the area was secured. The remaining electronic devices were shut down and the
alarm silenced.
1 minute later, the first transport landed in the middle of the compound. Techs left the ship and
begun immediately to bring the assigned freight on board.
This took 8 minutes, then the first transport was replaced by the second.
6 minutes later, all important and interesting material was aboard, and the tranport left.
After that, the stormtroopers and the Sith left too.
This took only 2 minutes, until the entire area was devoid of life.
------------------------------------------------------------ ------------ ---------------------------
"Good work Lieutenant. The entire operation was finished in only 20 minutes, which was 30% less
than what I expected. After you are back on the ship, you'll need a new uniform."
"Sir?"
"A Captain with the uniform of a Lieutenant isn't a good picture.
"Yes, Sir."
"Now, leave. I will accompany you in my fighter."
-------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- ---------------------------
After the fighter landed in the hangar of the huge ship, the Sith was greeted by the Captain.
"Sir."
"I have to search through this information to see if this all I need. Tell the comm-experts that they
should observe the news to see if there is something important."
"Yes, Sir. Is this mission now finished?"
"This mission is finished when I tell you so, and not a second before that."
"Yes, Sir."
Then he left the hangar and went straight to his quarters, where the most important devices waited for him.
------------------------------------------------------------- ----------- ---------------------------
1 week later
<Interesting, but not understandable, for me. This technology is the worst thing I have ever seen. The only other
similar technology is that of the Ssi-ruuk. Not even the Vong are that bad. It is time to transfer the data
to the weapon developers on Bastion, maybe they can figure out how this AT-field functions.
I have too much trouble with this pseudo-religious crap.>
He opened the communications.
"Captain, transfer all data immediately abord a shuttle and send it to Bastion. And tell the comm officer
that I need a secured line to the Emperor."
"Yes, Sir."
------------------------------------------------------------ ------------ ---------------------------
He kneeled in the middle of the holo transceiver.
"My Emperor."
"How is the mission proceeding?"
"Well, my emperor. I gathered the information, and sent them to the specialists on Bastion. They will arrive
in 9 days."
"Is this information usable by us?"
"I do not know. They weren't usable for me, but I'm not a scientist. The specialists should be able to extract
the technical data we need."
"And if they fail?"
"Then I have another possibility to gain our goals. I have 2 allies down there, which will be helpful if needed.
Because then, I see no other choice then to make sure that the scientists which developed this technology
work for us."
"Is this possible?"
"Yes, my Emperor. If necessary, I will make a full scale invasion of the planet."
"Do you think that they developed this technology alone?"
"I don't know. It is very similar to the Ssi-ruuk technologies, but if they are here, they would have simply
enslaved them. And so I see no way how they have gathered technological data from outside."
"There are rumors that the Vong have contacts with the Ssi-ruuk. If they are true then they could have given the
data to them."
"But for what purpose my Emperor? The idiots on these planets want to destroy themselves, they want to become
some kind of orange goo, and think that this is the ultimate lifeform. So if they don't wanna fill them in
bottles for sale, why should they give them this technology?"
"Maybe for exactly that purpose. They wanted to know if this can function, now that they know it, they stand by
and watch how they transfer to this orange goo. Because we aren't able to tranfer the technical data out
of this stuff. And it wouldn't suprise me if the Jedi are involved too. Tell them some fairytales of
unification and entire peace, and they forget to see behind the masks."
"I understand, my emperor."
"We need them alive, in a state where we can negotiate with them. Or force them. Do anything necessary to prevent
the transformation which they call "Third impact". If you have to kill most of the planetary citizens, do it.
We need this technology, and we need it soon. Make sure that we get it."
"Yes, my emperor."
-------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- ---------------------------
<That means back to the planet. Back to Tokyo 3, because that is where everything is decided. I have two allies,
the Magi, and the third child. This will be useful. But I need a place where I have contact to the other
pilots as well. Hm. The school! They all attend the same school, and when the second comes to Japan, she'll
be there too. How can I be regular in this school? For a student, I'm way too old. As janitor I have a very
bad position to have some influence on the pilots. That leaves as a teacher. They have a teacher. He is in my
way. So he has to die. Then I can build up my influence on the pilots, and can begin to change the future.
And after my success, I can make sure that there will be no "Third impact". If necessary, I'll take the angels
out by myself.>
After this brainstorming, he went to the hangar, entered his fighter, and started towards the planet.
---------------------------------------------------------- -------------- ---------------------------
<Back in Tokyo 3. I need local money, an apartement, a person that shows me how to drive a "car" and
a job as teacher. I'll begin with the money.>
And so he searched for a bank. After finding one, he entered through the main gate, and went straight to
the counter.
<YOU WILL GIVE ME ALL THE MONEY THAT YOU HAVE IN CASH. AND THEN YOU WILL DELETE ALL SECURITY TAPES THAT INCLUDES ME.
AFTER THIS YOU WILL FORGET THAT I WAS HERE.>
And exactly this happened.
<It's so good to be a Sith.>
<Now it's time for the second problem. Shelter. According to my information, the block where the third lives
is almost empty. I should find what I need there. Since I have the security clearance from the Magi, it should
be no problem.>
And it wasn't. After showing the clearance, he was shown some of the apartments until he decided that
this one will fit its purpose. 2 floors higher that that of Katsuragi, with a great view of the city.
<Good. Learning how to drive will have to wait. I have more important matters to attend.>
------------------------------------------------------ ------------------ ---------------------------
After school, the old teacher packed his belongings in his bag, and left the building. Since his eyesight was
very bad, he was forced to use public transportation.
<Train. Good.>
As the teacher arrived in the train station, he went to the place where the door would open and waited.
He didn't see the black-clad figure on the opposite side of the station.
The train arrived.
<And now I'll give him a push in the right direction.>
The teacher had no chance. A powerful blast that hit him in the back threw him in front of the arriving train.
Nobody would have survived this, so the old man had absolutely no chance.
<Oooops. I almost forgot how much 5 liters can be when they paint a large area. I'm really glad that I have
no clean up duty in this city. Hehehehehehe.>

Only 15 minutes later, he found what he was searching for. In the little office of a 1st Lieutenant Ibuki,
he found a terminal with the access he needed.
<Good. Now let's see what I can do do dampen the security. A standard virus should be sufficient.>
Which wasn't. The virus was destroyed faster than he had uploaded it.

<Great, hide'n seek. 1 Googolplex to 1 that at the end of this little climbing, I have someone to kill.>
No security was seen on his way to the command center. No one hindered him on the entrance, no one

<They trust these computers way too much. Once cleared by it, nobody is suspicious.>
At the end of the shaft, he was deep inside of one of the cores. An armored plate with "Caspar" written
on it, surrounded by 4 link slots was the end of the way.

unification and entire peace, and they forget to see behind the masks."
"I understand, my emperor."
"We need them alive, in a state where we can negotiate with them. Or force them. Do anything necessary to prevent
the transformation which they call "Third impact". If you have to kill most of the planetary citizens, do it.
We need this technology, and we need it soon. Make sure that we get it."
"Yes, my emperor."

<That means back to the planet. Back to Tokyo 3, because that is where everything is decided. I have two allies,
the Magi, and the third child. This will be useful. But I need a place where I have contact to the other
pilots as well. Hm. The school! They all attend the same school, and when the second comes to Japan, she'll
be there too. How can I be regular in this school? For a student, I'm way too old. As janitor I have a very
bad position to have some influence on the pilots. That leaves as a teacher. They have a teacher. He is in my
way. So he has to die. Then I can build up my influence on the pilots, and can begin to change the future.
And after my success, I can make sure that there will be no "Third impact". If necessary, I'll take the angels
out by myself.>
After this brainstorming, he went to the hangar, entered his fighter, and started towards the planet.
---------------------------------------------------------- -------------- ---------------------------
<Back in Tokyo 3. I need local money, an apartement, a person that shows me how to drive a "car" and
a job as teacher. I'll begin with the money.>
And so he searched for a bank. After finding one, he entered through the main gate, and went straight to
the counter.
<YOU WILL GIVE ME ALL THE MONEY THAT YOU HAVE IN CASH. AND THEN YOU WILL DELETE ALL SECURITY TAPES THAT INCLUDES ME.
AFTER THIS YOU WILL FORGET THAT I WAS HERE.>
And exactly this happened.
<It's so good to be a Sith.>
<Now it's time for the second problem. Shelter. According to my information, the block where the third lives
is almost empty. I should find what I need there. Since I have the security clearance from the Magi, it should
be no problem.>
And it wasn't. After showing the clearance, he was shown some of the apartments until he decided that
this one will fit its purpose. 2 floors higher that that of Katsuragi, with a great view of the city.
<Good. Learning how to drive will have to wait. I have more important matters to attend.>

After school, the old teacher packed his belongings in his bag, and left the building. Since his eyesight was
very bad, he was forced to use public transportation.
<Train. Good.>
As the teacher arrived in the train station, he went to the place where the door would open and waited.
He didn't see the black-clad figure on the opposite side of the station.
The train arrived.
<And now I'll give him a push in the right direction.>
The teacher had no chance. A powerful blast that hit him in the back threw him in front of the arriving train.
Nobody would have survived this, so the old man had absolutely no chance.
<Oooops. I almost forgot how much 5 liters can be when they paint a large area. I'm really glad that I have
no clean up duty in this city. Hehehehehehe.>
