Yes, Gendo Giovanni was also Gendo Ikari. Yes, Gendo was also Gendo Rokubungi. No, most people did NOT know all of the above. Gendo was behind a number of things and projects, most of which would have shocked the heck out of people.
Makoto was also quite aware that if he did anything obviously against his boss' interests, he could end up missing. This line of work was quite cut-throat.
So he made contacts within the Underground on the sly, so that if he had a head start at some point - there was a chance he could vanish in a manner of his own choosing.
The samples were not something he could smuggle off. Just the Section 9 goons, aka the Turks, would notice if he didn't go straight back.
Of course, it might take him awhile to touch base with the Underground and let them know what was going on.
"Here we go!" cheerfully said Katie.
"What's this?" said Nabiki, bleary-eyed and disheveled. Severely disheveled. Looking as if she'd been in a fight with a wildcat or something.
"It's a spell-stabilizer," said Katie. "I had to do a lot of trading for this."
Nabiki looked over the odd bracer with the various beads and crystals. "Okayyyyyyy."
"It'll help hold off your transformation," explained Katie.
LATCH LATCH LATCH!
"Looks nice against my skin," said Nabiki, admiring the way the silvery metal contrasted against her dark amber skin. "So I can get drunk now?"
"Well, yes," said Katie. "It was really difficult to get."
"Yeah, I'm sure it was," said Nabiki.
"There's a waiting list you know," said Katie.
"I can certainly see why," agreed Nabiki.
"And it's not perfect, it should merely stabilize and enhance the spell that's keeping you from changing further," said Katie.
"Yeah, I understand that," agreed Nabiki. "You have something I can rinse my mouth out with?"
Katie sagged.
"Okay," relented Nabiki. "What is it you want from me for the bracer?"
Katie told her.
"That's ALL?" asked Nabiki.
Katie nodded.
"I'll see what I can arrange," said a smirking Nabiki, feeling some control over the situation come at last back to her.
An alarm began sounding.
"Oh crap," said a number of people all along the pokecenter.
I am NOT going to submit!
I am NOT a pervert!
She struggled and struggled against the Love Ball's programming. She couldn't fight certain changes, but she wasn't about to stand still for others.
Finally a safety feature on the pokeball that had been overriden failed. Red light shot out and formed into something that resembled Akane Tendo.
"NOT GONNA DO IT!" yelled Akane, staggering.
"Akane, what are you doing?" asked Ranma, first to arrive.
"PERVERT!" said Akane, picking up some random object from the table and bringing it into abrupt contact with Ranma's head. "You're not going to do that with me! You're not going to do that with anyone!"
Ranma, having been slammed into the wall by Akane's use of an electroshock restraint generator (weighing in excess of 500kg) as a blunt trauma instrument, didn't comment as he was currently counting the birdies circling his head.
"You're ALL perverts!" screeched Akane, still fighting the voices echoing in her head.
"Miss Tendo! You've got to calm down!"
Not even noticing that the speaker was a pink-haired girl in a Nurse's uniform, Akane threw the device in one hand at the individual who responded by getting out of her way.
Akane wasn't sure what she was doing or where she was going, but she would NOT stay here.
She found the door after what seemed a terribly long time and was through it a moment later.
"Is he all right?"
"Kasumi stopped the damage from getting worse. We're down a Nurse Joy though."
"What exactly happened?"
Ranma groaned as he tried to struggle back to the land of the waking.
"The Tomboy exited her pokeball in an Enraged state," said Katie. "I've lost track of her."
"She's on the streets?" asked Nabiki, slapping her face. "That's bad."
"That's REALLY bad," said the remaining Nurse Joy.
