[1] [Backdated a few days]
[Digging through what had been left to him ferociously, Calvin had come up with a rather risky plan. A simultaneous retrieval of all the remaining artifacts. With the court as low on manpower as it was it would mean the risk of interference was low... and with the translations made by Kagura it would mean retrieval would be all but painless.]
[Still, Calvin found himself pacing restlessly. Partly because there was no telling what would happen during the extraction and partly if... as thorough as Kagura's work was... there was something that was missed that might get someone killed. The unsettling silence from both his contact and the OSI was frustrating as well.]
Its fine... everything's going to be alright. Just a quick retrieval... in the middle of arabia... who am I kidding..something's gonna turn up...
Just have to stay calm. You can do this. Nerves of steel. You're a man on the trail of a mystery. Hard boiled, gritty one hundred percent film noir cool as ice.
[Calvin's taking a deep breath and ceases his anxious muttering before seeming to get a little out of it. Then again for those of you familiar with his behavior he may have been doing some internal monologue to try steady himself... surprise him?]
[2][Post "Gotterdamerung"]
[Despite the sudden appearance of Enlil and the Ebon Court, the retrieval mission was successful objective wise. Alex despite practically blowing herself, Enki and Enlil up in a devastating application of Magic-Fuelled Science had survived... though she would most likely be seeing a long amount of bed rest in her future. Calvin still felt tremendously unsettled, even after receiving news on the way back that the other retrievals went off without a hitch. Then when the shuttle landed...]
What the hell?!
[Calvin was promptly treated to the sight of several people in similar uniforms to him and standard ESUN MP fatigues carting out several documents and very specifically marked containers that held the artifacts. There was the sound of slow, sarcastic applause as a certain old man strolled over, looking insufferably smug.]
"Well Mr Edwards. I'd have to say you've been quite busy. Ransacking tombs, raiding facilities without a warrant and against orders."
Holstein.... what the hell are you doing?! You know those reports I sent you said that-
"Hup-up-up. Manners. I doubt a civilian has any right to start throwing accusations of gross incompetence at the duly appointed director of an ESUN mandated office. Especially when their career was absolutely rife with it when they were in the employ."
...Civilian?
[Holstein pulled a rather formal looking document from his coat, carefully unfolding it... before slamming it into Calvin's face. Hard enough that it sent the Investigator to the floor. Some of the passing OSI staff who saw this happen nudge and snicker among themselves. 'Check it out, Spooky Edwards is about to get it.']
"Civilian. As of today your employment at the Office of Special Investigations is hereby terminated due to your paranoid delusions and inability to follow orders. Furthermore the Office is claiming all materials and information related to the Investigation that you have so thoroughly botched as well as all OSI issued materials. Including your uniform, sidearm and mobile suit. We'll be taking the 13th Genoace Unit as well. I'm sure they can be reassigned to a more fitting duty... Janitorial Service perhaps."
You Bastard...
[Calvin gets to his feet, rubbing his jaw with sheer irritation. A glance at the OSI agents and MPs pretty much said he was probably going to get screwed over if he tried anything.]
"Well you had to know this day was coming sometime Edwards. I'm simply glad I got to handle this matter personally. I suppose the Unity Group might let you stay if they're enamored with your... eccentric? No. Insane ramblings while real investigators can do their work without being weighed down by you."
[The Director simply walks off with a chuckle towards where the OSI was loading everything up. Caroll was busy going through a checklist close by.]
Caroll. I know you probably don't care much for what I have to say but this isn't-
[The woman simply rolls her eyes in irritation, her face having the expression of being in the presence of someone who offended their every sense.]
"Can someone please remove this pest? He's interfering with official ESUN business."
"You heard Representative Caroll. Beat it Spooky!"
[Calvin would just regard both Caroll and the man who came to remove him with a look of disgust and incredulousness before simply walking back to his quarters. His completely ransacked quarters that had been dug over for all of his files with no regard left for any of his belongings. His face is simply blank as he turns his chair the right way up and goes about making some coffee and drinking it in front of his overturned desk.]
[Do you try to speak with Calvin? Or attempt to Reason with Holstein or Caroll?]

...And thanks for your concern. I really appreciate it.
['The dame's definitely a knight in shining armor. Cares a lot for others and keeping the underdogs safe and sound. She'll get through all her fights alright in the end and keep people safe while she's at it.']
