"There you are. I've been looking all over for you. You shouldn't really run around in your condition, you know. Now it's time for your medication." Dr. Robertson took out a brown glass vial containing a liquid out of his lab coat. He had a simple mushroom cut for his brown hair and had green eyes. "If you want, we can probably have a few technicians set up a Moebius Zero flight simulator in the hospital so you don't have to keep walking all the way to the military armory."
His patient, who wore a simple white t-shirt, black sweatpants and brown loafers, sat in the cockpit of the simulator and continued to shoot down virtual GINNs on the monitors. "I'll take my medicine when I get shot down, doc."
"And considering your skill level, it would be a while before that happens. If you want to find out the identity of that dream woman of yours, you should take the medicine and then go to bed. May I remind you that I outrank you when it comes to your health, Mr. Lorrnoke," droned Dr. Robertson. The blonde haired man found himself lost in thought as an image of a beautiful woman with long brown hair came to mind. The lapse in concentration gave an opportunity for the virtual GINNs to shoot him down. A report containing his results then showed up on the screen but the blonde man ignored it and stood up from his seat. He took the vial from Dr. Robertson, opened it and downed the contents in one gulp.
"When we get together for another hypno therapy session, can you focus on trying to unearth the memory of that woman?" asked the man as he absentmindedly rubbed a finger over the scar on his face.
"In due time. First, let's focus on restoring your normal memory, Mr. Lorrnoke." A black pager began to beep on his belt, indicating that someone was waiting for him at the administration office of the facility. "I'll see you tomorrow morning. Jerome, do you mind escorting my patient back to his quarters? His room number is 1429 in the medical wing."
Jerome poked his head out from the Moebius that he had been working on and walked over to the doctor and the other man. "Sure thing. Let's go, sir." As they left the armory, Dr. Robertson began his trek towards the administration office and was somewhat surprised to see Djibril and Desmond waiting there.
"Let me get straight to the point, doctor. I have had a poor week so far and I would really like to hear some good news on your end concerning our special patients. If you do deliver me some good news, I may be able pull some strings to increase your funding," said Djibril in a serious tone.
Robertson nodded. "Of course, sir. Right now, the therapy sessions with Neo Lorrnoke are going well although he keeps insisting on finding the memory of that woman he keeps on blabbering about."
Desmond looked confused. "Neo Lorrnoke? Oh, wait! You mean that guy floating in space that was found by an Alliance ship earlier. Come to think of it, how the hell did he survive that long in space? His suit had leaks all over the place and the vacuum from space should have torn him apart!"
Djibril smirked. "I suppose it's not surprising. The Hawk of Endymion often bragged about how he made the impossible possible. In any case, take precautions with the hypno therapy. I don't want Neo to go rogue in the future. As for the woman he keeps on talking about, get as much information about her as possible and then forward it to my people. They can search Mu's service record in the Alliance and with luck, they should be able to find something. Then we can probably fabricate a story about her that will bind his loyalty to us. Anything else to tell me, Robertson?"
"Well, since you want to plant a few moles in ZAFT, I felt that it would be beneficial to start up the Conditioned Coordinator program again." Robertson gave a small mental sigh. 'Explosion comes in 3...2...1...'
As expected, Djibril blew up. "Are you out of your fucking mind?!? Don't you remember what happened the last time the Alliance went through with that program?!?"
Flashback
"Report!! What the fuck is going on?!?" Djibril then found himself looking up in fear as a brown mobile suit walked out from out of a burning building. The mobile suit is the GAT-01D Long Dagger, based off of the GAT X-102 Duel Gundam. Right now, it was in its Fortrestra Mode which worked similarly to the Duel's Assault Shroud mode. The Long Dagger fired some missiles and destroyed a few Skygraspers that attempted to stop it.
"Sir!! The combat Coordinator known as Eleven Socius is the one piloting that suit!" replied Desmond. The two of them then watched the Long Dagger drew out its beam sabres to slash apart two Strike Daggers before it escaped the compound.
Djibril clenched his fists a few times before he was able to calm down partially. "We'll need to have someone from the outside take care of this problem. Otherwise, this could look very bad for the Alliance's overall image. Desmond! Get me in touch with the Serpent Tail mercenary group. I have a job for them..."
End Flashback
Robertson waited for a few moments until he spoke again. "I do recall that incident, sir. But we've come up with a new conditioning technique that should make things easier. We've come up with the block word system which means whenever a person's block word is mentioned, the brain will send stimuli throughout the nervous system and the person will do certain things without consciously realizing it. So with those Coordinators that we're working on, after we send them out, they will act normally and enlist with ZAFT. Then we can receive weekly progress reports from them by simply calling and mentioning the block word."
"Are you certain this is foolproof?" asked Djibril.
"So far, the results have been promising. There doesn't seem to be any negative side effects provided that the conditioning is done correctly, sir," stated the doctor.
Djibril nodded in satisfaction. "Very well. You may proceed with your project but I'll be adding more security to the Lodonia facility's medical wing. If that's all, I need to get going and check on the reconstruction of the Moon Base. We need to get it up and running as soon as possible so we can start constructing the Requiem!"
