Seduction “Maxwell. A word please.” Chang arched an eyebrow as Zechs swept through the outer office, disappearing into his office with barely a nod of recognition. “He’s feeling better I see.” Duo set the mug down. “Better see what’s up.” “Close the door.” Zechs stood by the window. Duo closed the door behind him and stood before the antique desk. “Problem?” “Une wants you back.” Duo froze. “In Luxembourg?” “Where else?” The blue eyes were intense. “You don’t seem thrilled by the prospect.” “Ah … I was … You are still under Preventer guard.” “There are others capable. Une is afraid I will seduce you away from Preventers. Are you amenable to such seduction?” Blue eyes with that tint of lavender that reminded him of Lucrezia blinked. Zechs reached for a roll of paper on his desk. Casually he unrolled it using a paper weight and diary to weight the ends. “I understand during your time with the Sweepers you were trained in engineering techniques. Since the end of the war you have gained engineering degrees from a number of reputable institutions. Why if you intend to remain a Preventer agent?” He could not resist the temptation. The blueprints were intricate, complex and fascinating. There were elements in the design he recognized as having been crafted by the man in front of him. Zechs had made a name for himself as a high energy engineer designing machinery for use in the Mars colony and on the Moon. He had a flair for the work and Duo thought it a shame such talent would be wasted. “That’s a …” “Power station.” A second design was unfurled. “The run off will power and water a hydroponics unit large enough to feed New Port City and reduce imports of food and certain natural resources and allow for exports. I need a competent trained engineer to run liaison with the former Oz 4th Engineering Corps. They will become the Sanc Royal Engineers. This project will be a joint effort between Sanc and the Winner Corporation to experiment with new technology to be used in space colonies and on Mars. Are you open to seduction, Mr Maxwell?” Duo leaned further over the plans noting details and Zechs never objected as he began to leaf through the pages. He paused on one page, a frown beginning. A finger lightly tapped a complex generator and he straightened turning thoughtful eyes to the man by the windows. “That’s …” “Yes. It is.” “Why?” “It will be sited on the cliff and if it works as envisioned New Port will be under a protective umbrella. Sanc will not fall a third time.” “Does Quatre know?” “He will be here in an hour. Ask him yourself.” “Relena?” “I have discussed the concept with her. These plans are far from complete as you no doubt have realized. I need a competent liaison to oversee the development and each construction phase. Do you intend to remain a Preventer or would you prefer a new start?”
