Coming in Hot...Blooded Passion!

[Hal]

Hal could only stare in awe at the gigantic space structure. Hard it was to think that he was in there for five months, seeing more then most people ever would think. Careful, he piloted he best to remained undetected by the Sphere, if it had any sensors. Along with those maneuver new thoughts and designs were creeping into him mind. New ways to protect himself and those he loved.

His mind drifted in thought as he pondered about Natalya, Lucien, and....Razel. Some things are still left unresolved. Unavoidable it was that some type of confrontation was going to happen. His grip on the controls tightened in frustration that quickly flew when his system notified him of being within range for communication with the Queen and England.

Bringing up his controls he began to encrypt a private channel, making sure it was secure enough. He then proceeded to connect the channel. Hal was almost scaring himself when he spoke with a deathly serious formality as he addressed the channel.
"This is Hal Elmmerich of the Queens Royal Knights. Requesting permission to land for debriefing and for an audience with the Queen."

[Hal]

As Hal was making his preparations for re-entry, a sudden dizziness started to wash over him. It disoriented him for but a moment, but his logical mind was starting to put the pieces together. Even then, it was starting to get clouded.
"When was the last time I slept?!"
With the torrential roller-coaster of events and directions, Hal has had little time for rest and 'recharging'. He has continually been placing more and more stress of him to urging him forward and continue. However, it was also a double-edged sword. His energy reserves and adrenaline are close to running dry. Shaking off what he could, he pushed forward.

Little time could be wasted as he hurried towards the locations of the hangars. Using his sensors, he scanned to find the signal for his lab. With some fast typing, he started up his array of computer systems and started uploading data. While that was in progress, he made a soft landing into the hangar.

Once Solidus Epsilon was in position to power down, Hal opened up a private folder on his personal computer. On it, his ideas and theories for projects to researching and development. Upon checking the status with his systems. He went about selecting another, his decision driven by some personal reasons.

"Comencing Project: Knighthood" A computerized voice sounded out in a pseudo-Natalya voice from his laptop, and ultimately his lab as well. Closing up his suitcase, he powered down the mobile suit and rode the ripcord down to ground. He proceed to make his way toward the Queen's office, a beat of sweat running down the side of his face as he was fighting the coming exhaustion.

"I can't stop now. Not when so many are dependent on me. So many I love need me to protect them. I...can't...fail....now"

Stumbling over his feet for a few moments as he walked down the long hallways to her office. It wasn't until he finally couldn't catch himself and fell to the floor. An overwhelming desire to sleep took him, and the only thoughts he had were how comfortable the floors are. He lay on his stomach, with a deathgrip on his suitcase laptop.

[Hal]

In the darkness of Hal's subconscious, brought into notice from his slumber.

"Why do you persists in this childish ideal?!"

Hal found himself in a huge cavern, with the only source of light was a sun beam through a crevice on the roof that aimed right next to him. This familiar voice echoed the caverns.

"A highly advanced alien race with a disposition for conquest has chosen our world for subjugation. So far, we've failed to make any progress in turning the odds in our favor. They continue to intimidate the world with its very presence. So I ask again, why?"

Seeing a brief glimpse of movement in the darkness, Hal began to address the voice.

"Why not? This world was on the verge of peace. If nothing was done, this world would've been gone ages ago..."

"But what have YOU done about it? As much as I recall, Razel saved your arse from yourself against Dmitri. The Relic is what made you perform anything exemplary in battle. That's with your mobile suit. Without it, you can't do anything."

"You're wrong!" Hal exclaimed, his demanding voice echoing slightly. "My information helped give insight into any battles we were on..."

"They would've found out eventually, especially that Razel. Speaking of him..." A pair of green glowing eyes appearing in the darkness. A slight cackle rung out. "...I wonder if he knows that the child is born. Would he rush in and take the both of them away from you? He certainly could, since you are too pathetic to do anything about it."

"No!" Hal screamed, regaining consciousness as the darkness turned into a blinding light.

He was laying on his bed, covers over him. Other then his shoes, which were placed near his bed, he was still in his casual attire. Sitting up spurred a throbbing headache that forced him back to a prone position. As much as he could surmise is that he was out for a few hours and that he was moved to his room.

Realizing the moment, he proceeded to rest for now. The harsh words of that voice still resounded in his mind, sowing cracks of doubt with his own ideals.

[Hal]

Even the sensation of sleep was the best he could get. Thoughts and concerns about his sisters, the world, the Queen, Natalya, and....Lucien. Fear was inspiring worst case scenarios visions in his mind that were hard to drive off with a mere shake of his head. Despite that, Hal did manage brief instances of his consciousness lost to sleep. It was a brief respite to all this darkness that managed to creep into his mind.

After a brief silence, a sharp beeping cut through the air. It wasn't loud by any standards, but enough to stop the silence. Hal realized what it meant and shot opened his eyes. Quickly he stirred himself to wake and left his bed. He quickly opened the miniature Fridge in his room an took out a coffee energy drink. Bringing his suitcase upon his desk, he proceeded to remove the laptop from it while it powered on.

"I am not going to stand idle and watch this world bend over backward for these conquerors. I am going to contribute all I can, for those I care about...including Razel."

Frequent sips of his drink stirred his mind even more as accessed the notice that was trying to communicate with his laptop. A brief warm-up was followed by Hal's command.
"Status."

"Data Compilation: Successful. Project Knighthood: Complete."

He smiled wide like a kid on Christmas day who just received his favorite gift. It could even by mistaken for winning a vacation. In either case, it was beginning to inspire Hope in his person. Now, if he could just find a way to give that to those who can make a difference. An idea appeared in his mind, it did cause a bit of concern and potential for embarrassment, but there was no room for such in this dire time.

"Proceed to uploading the data to this laptop unit. Contact the Queen to schedule an meeting in the Holo-conference room. Prepare that room as well. I want Dmitri and Razel in on this, so send word to them. Inform Emma and Natalya about it, E will know what to do. Also...."
Hal took a deep breath, composing himself before speaking.
"...send a notice to every major organization...Pax, ESACU's ESS, Zephyr, Atlantis...tell them 'There is always Hope. Do not give in. It is possible if we work together. Contact me if you want to live free.' Use their private channels, that will get their attention."

"Sir, doing so will take time..."

Quickly, he downed the rest of the coffee energy drink and slammed it down. Feeling a slight adrenaline rush of the unknown start to invigorate him.
"Do it. I need to suit up. I've got an audience to address..."

"Acknowledged."

Hal stood up, and started to prepare for the day ahead. From food and hygiene to attending to the finishing touches for his personal project...
