What happens next
The next day
The 4 of them sat down the living room. Steven even decided it would be quicker that he's make the joints himself using his mind. Within seconds, 4 joints were rolled and ready. Ellen was first to speak. "I'm not sure that I should really be doing this. I've never smoked one until a couple of nights ago, and now that I'm carrying. Is it really a good idea?"
"Ellen. Our baby will be protected by your nano's. But the decision is yours. You heard what my mum said just as clearly as the rest of us. So I bloody want this to just let the shock of that comment leave my head."
"Okay. Fuck it. What the hell. After what I've been through the last week. May as well enjoy my last night off before work tomorrow. I can't guarantee your gonna get you're cock in me though if I do"
"Same goes for you John now that she's mentioned it." Uttered Jade. "But my mother has kind of put me off of doing anything now anyway."
"Put you off! She scared the hell out of my with it. It's almost as if she wanted to talk us out of it without actually saying so. Just to make sure we don't keep her up all night." Exclaimed John. "Besides, I'm not ready to be a dad yet anyway."
Steven thought a second. "You might have just hit the nail there mate. You can tell my mum works for a solicitor."
"Oh." Ellen perked up at Steven's sentence. " That reminds me. Your mum said she was going to get me some help if I wanted it with one of her colleagues." You better give your mum my mobile number so he can call me. I have feeling I'm gonna need his help with the robotech situation if it all goes to court."
"Will do babe."
The four of them sat and smoked for a little while before calling it a night. And as they predicted, They decided to go straight to sleep now that the cannabis had it's desired effect.
In the morning. Jane, John and Ellen had already left to go to their respective workplaces, leaving Steven and Jade to keep an eye on things and report to Jane if the two strangers from the pub decided to make their presence visible and confirm that they were indeed reporters for a newspaper. Terry had made his visit and had all the details that Steven could give him. Terry could be trusted so Steven had no issue with telling him the truth.
Meanwhile, in the lab. Ellen had been trying to decipher all the events that had happened since her absence and catch up with the staff under her. Bill had already covered for her by informing them that she had been injured during Robotech's assault without telling them that she had actually been shot. all of them glad she was back and appeared to be healthy. Only Bill and Ellen knew of her body's nanobot count. Mark the security guard didn't say anything either. It was now just after one in the afternoon when Ellen was called to reception. She left her staff to continue the clear up and in house investigation to find out what she was called for. When she arrived she was greeted by the minister in charge and the Prime minister. "Good morning gentlemen, How could I be of assistance?"
"Good morning Miss Wright." Replied the prime minister. "I understand you haven't been well recently."
"No. I have had a few things to deal with. I'm hoping that things will be better now though."
"I'm glad to see you are better. So, we are here to establish the facts of what we understand to be a very serious incident." The Prime minster had little knowledge, but enough from sources to know that something had happened. "We'd like to hear your version of events so we can figure out how best to move forward."
"Okay. I understand. But, if I may ask. Is my job at risk as it sounds like I'm in a lot of trouble by the tone of voice." Ellen looked very worried and it showed.
"Not if we're satisfied with what we hear today, then no. Your job will be secure."
"Thank you Prime minister. All I ask is that you don't put me under too much pressure to explain everything."
"And why is that Miss Wright."
Ellen took a deep breath and exhaled before replying "I'm pregnant."
"Oh. I see. Congratulations then. That would explain why you haven't been well already then."
"Would you care to come with me to the office. I'd feel more comfortable explaining all in relative privacy." The prime minister nodded and asked Ellen to lead the way. As they headed there she called out to Steven to meet her there so they could both explain in person and make all the facts clear. Over an hour had passed and the Prime minster now had all the facts. Robotech's attempted theft, Ellen's gunshot wound resulting from it and the fact that the nanobot's had now rendered Steven more or less a god. He also informed them that he was the one that disabled the nuclear threat from ever arising. He was here to save mankind from annihilating everything in existence and itself. To help humanity learn its place in the universe, and to help teach mankind that they were a childish race that needed to curb it's war like tendencies and live in peace with each others, as well as other races that may exist in cosmos that have already learnt to do so. Before they finished their meeting, Steven urged them to keep the knowledge of his existence quiet. But they made an agreement that his existence would only be shared with leaders of other countries that believed in a free world. It was settled. The British and American governments were now involved in the court battle against Robotech. Steven even agreed via phone call to the American president that he would uncover evidence to implicate Robotech in selling high tech knowledge to hostile governments around the world. Ellen's job was more than secure. The Prime minister knew, that mankind had a weapon. A weapon that fight for everyone, protect everyone. One that would not be used to gain advantage over another. One that would be there to make sure that everyone had a chance to have a good life. And above all, one that should not be made an enemy off. Steven and Ellen were sure that now things were out in the open to the world leaders and not a majority of the public, The world will now be a safer place for everyone. But Robotech had other idea's
