Months ago, per to the current date.
“Are you sure this plan will work?” A voice asked hesitantly. The surrounding was dark bathing the space in near total darkness, the only source of illumination came from a holoprojection. Coming near the center of the space itself. The projection showing a myriad of screens, showing a massive array of streaming data.
A tight group partly concealed in the darkness stood, packed closely beside one another but not enough where they could see each other’s faces. Yet they stood enough to be heard despite how softly they spoke to each other.
“Rest assured I have obtained some insurance to ensure that it will go through without any problems.” One spoke muffled through the aid of technology. Though distorted, the words still carried through the air perfectly.
“How can you even be sure?” another voice came as if in challenge from one the figures in the semi illuminated group.
“I told you I have insurance.” The first voice reaffirmed the tone being harder than before. “I have competed much on my end how goes yours?” the voice redirected the conversation back to group.
“Surprisingly well, that data cash you supplied to us has yield us some great results. Recruitment was a bit difficult, due to the fact we had to conducted it in secret. As well as getting the proper resources and funding.” Another voice spoke one could hear the excitement radiating off of it. “Just where did you get that data if I might ask? Such revolutionary data could change the course of human history no change the course of humanity’s destiny.”

“That is for me to know and for you to mind your own business.” The first voice spoke in the hard tone again. The air even seemed to become heavier. The other voice was about to speak again unrelenting to concede, however before they could get their voice out. The first spoke ahead of them. “In due time once we bring down the big cat, I will divulge the rest of the research. Only when the big cat is gone from the picture.” At this did the other voice relent, speaking no further on the subject.
“So, -” the first voice spoke their tone seemly calmer than before. “How much will be ready by the set time?”
“Not long we already have a couple thousand units ready once introduced, the few thousands ‘thunder bolts’ we have will grow into the hundreds of thousands.” The second voice responded.
“Okay how about you?” At this the third voice spoke, being the one the question was addressed to. “Same the ‘lotuses’ are growing quite beautifully, but there seems to be some complications so there might be a bit of a delay.”
“Care to elaborate?”
“Well first the method you supplied was not compatible in the first place because there is a very limit pools of candidates that I can utilize.” The third voice sounded distressed giving their stamen before continuing. “What about those ‘toy soldiers’ of yours can that not supplement for the short comings?”
The first voice let out a sigh at this. “You already know the nature of the threat that we’ll be contending against. My ‘toy soldiers’ numerous as they might be, I can easily supple thousands if not a million easily. But cannon fodder they still remain the main concern is the forging of the ‘thunder bolts’ and the growth of the ‘lotuses’. They are the key to this operation.”
“Easier said than done, you cannot expect me to perform a miracle out of my ass with the scarce resources that I have.”
“Alright, an easy fix I’ll get you what you need. Not having the required amounts ‘lotuses’ ready might change things just a bit. Now we-” The group continued on with their conversation for untold amount of time. All the while the holoprojection screens displayed over the shadow group showing the two emblems. The first being a stylized pair of thunder bolt and lightning poised behind a life-bearing world with a horizontal yellow bar behind it, centered on a field of dark blue. The second shows an angelic woman with her arms crossed her chest holding her shoulders. With a pair angel wing covering her body.
