Saturnus nodded quickly."Yeah, I have a shuttle all ready to take us far away from here." he said as his expression softened a little as he had a better look at her."No more experiments with the Doctor." he reassured.

" Then let's go." For the first time in nearly a month, Catherine smiled sincerely. The brunette was quite happy she held onto Saturnus hand, storming out of the facility at a brisk pace. She'd matured enough to not ask stupid questions at a tie like this. The very last thing she wanted was running into the professor or his assistants or else their scape plan was going to end up in failure.
---
Lucia decided to help Saturnus make his run for the exit go more smoothly by volunteering to discuss certain matters with the professor. Knowing the type of orderly person he was she had informed him of her visit a day before so it wouldn't come out of nowhere.
" I have successfully gathered all the information of these last few exercises. The RX-0 performed at its peak parameters, the psycho frame was stable at all times and no anomalies were detected on the test subject before or afterwards." The Banshee that Lucia had brought with her even surpassed the Zorin Soul used by her 'daughter' in some aspects. To anyone seeing the battle it would look painfully obvious Catherine merely lacked the experience to tackle a more savvy and unreadable opponent.

Saturnus gave a quick nod and took her hand as he would start to lead her out."We will need to be quick... But there is something I want to take in parting with this place." he would say as he looked forward not stopping."That mobile suit he put you in, I will pilot it out of here. You will be on the shuttle." he said perhaps not fully explaining his reasoning. But what he knew is that the moment it became apparent that something was wrong, the bald bastard would send everything he had.
-
"Hmm, seems that it was a failure completely on her shoulders then. She lacks the will to fully commit." he said sounding aggravatingly annoyed by this revelation."Do you know what my original goal was with her?" Cäsar Matthäus asked.

" Very well. I can take control of the shuttle on my own." Catherine had received training in operating space craft before hand.
The RX-0 unit two remained at the hangar. Only a newtype could effectively access the mobile suit interface in order to activate it to a fully operational condition.
---
" It takes years for an individual to craft a unique skill set. Catherine certainly has a lot of potential as it is, you can't exactly call her a failure." Lucia lit up a cigarette laced with uppers.
" I would think your objective was to find a way she would retain the memories of her past life." The purple haired doctor would attempt to answer his question with what she supposed was the right answer.

"Good, we will have to split up. But once we are far enough away I can act as escourt. Deal?" he asked as they came to a fork in the corridor. He would look both ways not seeing anyone. Taking the RX-0 without being noticed would be somewhat difficult. But, he recalled last time when he took her out for a mobile suit flight. Perhaps they could slip out and delay the notice of their departure?
--
"You are very observant. I don't believe I told you who she was, but it seems you have an eye for history." he said rather impressed."I had hoped that with enough... prodding she would regain her memories. My work with cyber newtypes in the past had informed me that the well... this will sound unscientific... but the soul of a newtype can be bound to something." he said."Saturnus and another managed to take her from her resting place, and put them into that body. But he failed to do so in a delicate manner. I had come to the conclusion that his interference was causing her memories to lay bellow the surface."

" There is no denying that soul belongs to the same woman she once was." Lucia saw a flaw in the professor's logic, yet decided to keep such thoughts to herself.
" That girl controlled Banshee with ease and that is no small feat." She had seen that mobile suit crush lesser newtypes from the information overload. With some luck, Saturnus would be able to tame the gray beast.
---
Catherine hurried to the dock where Saturnus had left the shuttle. Upon boarding it, she made her way to the cockpit. It was an older model certainly.

"indeed, there can be no denial. Yet, nothing I have tried has prompted even a shadow of a memory from her." he said tapping his desk."The test made that very apparent." he said thinking for a moment."I may need to take more drastic measures to prompt something. But I must proceed with caution. If anything it will take time to shape her into what is needed."
--
Saturnus made his way to the hanger making sure to have his flight suit sealed up. He peered through the window, seemed they were getting ready for some test flights? But he couldn't feel the presence of any other subjects inside the hanger. Were they being briefed? They must be he thought as he would enter the hanger. He kept an eye out for any guards or security as he pushed his way to the RX-0.

' What's taking Saturnus so long ... ' In actuality, Lucia couldn't stand being in the Professor's presence.
" What your opinion about Emilia?" She would ask, putting an extra effort to smile to divert Matthias attention more than anything.
---
The guards at the hangar had been sedated prior to Saturnus arrival. Lucia had slipped downers on their meals so he would find them away from prying eyes in order to sneak in a little shut eye.
From the looks of it, no one was going to notice him until it was too late.

"I think your daughter is a fine creation. Certainly outside my realm of expertise. Though in the past I had considered the idea of a cyber newtype that had physical augmentation. The idea of using the abilities of a new type to create artificial enhancements that can be controlled in the same way as a funnel or similar newtype device, well it was too advanced for my time. But if I had gotten it working, well I'd say their abilities would be much the same as your Emilia. Able to rip the hatch off of a mobile suit." he said with a pause."But your creation, they are very advanced... perhaps the technology is there now." he said pondering.
---
Saturnus still cautious kept an eye out as he floated towards the cockpit of the RX-0 with a natural ease. Reaching out he took a hold of one of rails up by the cockpit and would then open it. Looking back behind himself he would then push into the cockpit where he would hastily belt himself in the pilot chair. Then sealing himself in he started up the power up sequence.

" With all due respect, doctor. The human body has certain limitations that we would never be able to overcome. When I conceived Emilia my goal was to introduce a new species made to our image while also being so much more." Since she was a young girl, Lucia had become fascinated by Friedrich Nietzsche philosophy, convincing herself only a woman could give shape to the next evolutionary step.
---
The Banshee cockpit layout was a far cry from the Zeon style cockpits Saturnus had grown accustomed to being outfitted with the latest in Federation style instruments, the chair itself encased in the psycoframe central unit which recognized Saturnus as a newtype thus allowing him to see through the mobile suit eyes. Moving the Banshee limbs was a matter of thought alone, in some regards the Gundam response time exceeded his own.

Cäsar Matthäus did not speak for a moment before he shook his head."Perhaps you are correct. If I were to augment a cyber new type, if I were to replace bit after bit with metal what left would there be? At what point does their body end up not being human any loner." he said a uncharacteristic smirk came to his face."But my experiments wit" cyber newtypes, and with the creation of my own child showed me something. Not only that but experiments of the past and you have just shown me it. Tell me, what does your Emilia lack?" he asked her but only paused."A soul. With my what I have developed I could achieve what I stated, and take humanity to the next level. One would only need the use of disposables like Saturnus. I would like to experiment, have him pull a new soul from some battlefield. I do not doubt it will kill him, but there are many who could take their place. Can you imagine it? Any army of robotic super people, with the souls and abilities of newtypes! " he seemed to become more worked up by this stroke of thought.
Saturnus found this control to be rather warm and satisfactory as he scanned the area around him. Then he disengaged from where the mobile suit was docked on the rack. One step, then another as he pushed the scaffolding out of the way. It swung as the emergency release allowed it to and he started to move towards an exit.

" You certainly have the resources in hand, my good doctor. As always you may count on my support." Lucia gleefully smiled with an astute glimmer in her eyes.
----
A group of mechanics performing maintenance on other mobile suits wondered who was taking the Banshee out on a test. No one had been told there would be a deployment today but there was still no reason to signal the alarm.

Cäsar Matthäus smiled massively and suddenly clapped his hands at the news that she would support such an effort."This is wonderful! Decades of research shall join in this ultimate project. The pieces have fallen into our hands, and it shall be I- our job to put them together." he said with a very minor pause."I have an idea. Your Emilia. Let us make her the first subject. She is, after all, your most wonderful creation." he said with a little nod."But... In order to be successful, we would need the presence of a new type of worth. Perhaps my own weapon? No, she is too unstable as is... I may need to hit the books to find someone worthy of such a capture... Or we keep it simple.... hmmm..." he said before he snapped his fingers."I know! Let us put that Saturnus boy to use." an almost evil smile came to his face.
Saturnus slowly took the mobile suit to the exit as he had noticed no one had sounded an alarm at this point. If he did not act too oddly no one would pay him anymore notice. Or at least he believed that to be the case, and if it wasn't the mobile suit was more then capable of combat. They breathed out as they reached the launch area and would reach out after Saturnus stored the main armament. They took hold of the manual release and would prepare to open the door. Saturnus knew that it would only become more and more tricky from here.

" My daughter is certainly valuable to me, I would like to keep her as is but if it's another model you need i'd be more than glad to provide a new body for us to use in that particular project." Even as unhinged as Lucia was she wasn't foolish enough to promise him something she couldn't exactly fulfill. Being manipulative in such an sly fashion wasn't exactly her element.
---
People around the hangar began to take notice of the moving Banshee, some even rang up the control tower to inquire about the launch schedule. The guards themselves were still under the effect of the sedatives Lucia had slipped on their food so no one was picking up their end of the line.

"Another model? Well how much time would it take for you to create another?" he asked curious a raised eyebrow. It wasn't like there was a time limit to this of course, but he was a results driven man."I would be curious to see how such a well developed personality reacts to such an experiment. But, as they are valuable to you it would be unwise to risk them as is." he added.
Saturnus would hit the manual release and the doors would come open with the surface of Europa far bellow. They would then push off from the lip of the exit into space before he would start to maneuver towards the shuttle.
