evil robots and the like...

[Bulma Briefs]

It was insane.

So insane, it might actually work....

Bulma surveyed the various mechanical and technological parts laid out before her with a critical eye. She'd been in her lab for nearly three days straight, sleeping, eating, and doing anything other than working rarely. Between her new private project and her latest attempt at keeping Frieza happy, Bulma was on edge, and the bags around her eyes were testament to that fact. Even when she tried, she couldn't sleep. The project, the fear, the aggravation at her situation - it all conspired to turn her into a walking zombie.

The blue prints before her were freshly drafted - she had literally just scribbled them down, but after she committed everything to memory, she destroyed them. She could not risk this plan being discovered, even if she chose not to go through with it. Because she would be killed on the spot, or worse, Frieza would attempt control of it. She was towing a fine line; giving him technology that was useful, but not devastating. But she knew it wouldn't be long before he started demanding more complicated, dangerous things, and then she'd really be going insane. The thought of her inventions being used to mow defenseless people down....

There were no words for it.

Capsule Corp. was built to make people's lives BETTER. She had tried to ascend to that, even as a small child - she knew that one day, she was going to run it, and she wanted to know everything about it - she was holding board meetings with her stuffed animals for Christ's Sakes! This company had always been her life, and it still was, though her children definitely took priority. The knowledge that she might not be able to keep Capsule Corp. after all was said and done hurt, but if it meant keeping her family safe and ending Frieza's rain of terror, she'd blow the damn place up herself....

An electronic sensor let her know people were approaching and she pushed a button on her work bench, and it flipped into itself, the reverse side a clean, blank metallic surface. Shedding her lab coat, goggles, and gloves, Bulma raced to the door, wearing her normal clothes, a yellow top and black leggings and her pearls, and answered it.

Blinking into the sunlight, she saw two tall figures silhouetted.

"Can I help you?"

[Jean Briefs]

This was just plain stupid. Jean still refused to believe it. To think that Capsule Corporation would be working for Frieza! Whether it was by choice or by force, they just... they would never... He couldn't understand it. Why hadn't they fought back instead? Bulma wasn't someone who he ever knew to back down like that! And now their technology was able to be used for Frieza's evil purposes.

Frosvite had been the first one to inform Jean of this. Aaand since the boy couldn't let something like Capsule Corporation's honor - yes, a business's honor - be tainted by false accusations, he had brought the changeling with him so they could see for themselves. He wasn't sure if Frosvite even wanted to be here with him right now, but the guy was so wussy, he had come along regardless.

Before the boy could even raise his hand to knock on the door, it was already being opened by someone from inside. Jean hesitated as the woman came into view. He blinked a few times, confused, before his mouth opened wide in disbelief and his expression turned into one of utter shock. "Gra--- .... Bulma! You look so young!!"

[Frosvite]

So things would end up. Even if he was a Changeling, apparently those guys at Earth could still trust him if he proved himself useful to them, which was not too bad at all. Finally getting intact with some Earthlings or other creatures that live on this planet besides animals or whatnot actually felt good for a change. And yet, this felt a little weird in a way, basically because the main reason he was currently led by an Earthling to Capsule Corp was not just to meet the guy's great grandmother in her current age but more to meet the actual person in charge of all Capsule Corporation. If his information about Frieza were to prove useful to these guys, he would probably get paid for it quite well, but his feeling of guilt will not go. After all, Frieza might be a tyrant that anybody would easily hate, but he still held some compassion and care for the evil Changeling.

Jean, an Earthling, was about to knock on the door as Frosvite, short as he was, probably appeared higher on the glass. The door opened by itself, leading to the man giving a note about his great grandmother's appearance, probably seeing her as much older in his timeline that is. This person was currently in charge of all Capsule Corporation, and if he manages to get on her good side then it will all be alright - except for when the time comes where he tells them of Frieza's way of working, which is just the same as to inform on some criminal: it's all used for further evil use. Guess even humans could be evil by nature if you looked at it through, but that much was already proven when Dr. Hypnos took over the Changelings' dictatorship and turned himself immortal.

Such a messed up universe.

"Ummm... H-Hello..." He said, slowly coming form behind Jean, still scared to meet this person personally. Just looking at this woman isn't going to be enough for him to overcome his courage, just as happened earlier with those three Earthlings - Jean being one of them. Wonder how that's going to end up.
