[ WP ] `` What I 'm about to show you is so top-secret that we had to invent a new security clearance level for it . ''

`` Commander Brannon, what I'm about to show you is the cumulation of decades of work. It is to top-secret that we had to invent a new clearance level for it and, so far, only four people outside of the development team have been afforded level 12 clearance: Myself, you, the Secretary General and Overseer Smith. You can not tell anyone else anything about this. Do you understand?'' 
 
 `` Wallace...'' Kate began, unnerved by how cold he was being. 
 
 `` Do you understand, Commander Brannon?'' He demanded, his suit crumpling slightly as he turned to face her, his face so much colder than it had been in the past and his eyes inscrutible behind a pair of black sun glasses. 
 
 `` Yes, I understand, Mr. Jones,'' She nodded, knowing that it was easier to just go along with whatever Section 13. Without another word, Walace opened the chrome box sat upon the table and removed a glass cylinder that had a metal cap on both ends, one of which had a number pad and a digital countdown mounted above the pad and within the cylinder was a red crystal that had wires stretching from both ends to each end of the cylinder. 
 
 `` Wallace...'' Kate gasped, `` is... is this what I think it is?'' She could barely believe what she was seeing. It was the KB-12. 
 `` That depends on what you think it is, if you think it's the KB-12 you would be correct; if, however, you think it's a toaster then you would be wrong,'' Wallace remarked dryly. 
 
 `` Do you know what that thing does?'' Kate demanded. 
 
 `` Yes,'' he said as he placed the device back in the container and locked it, `` it purges all supernatural life forms within 100 miles of the activation site and given the increasing severity of recent supernatural events, Toronto for example, it was decided that the KB-12 should see production.'' 
 
 `` Why...? How...? Who... who even gave section 13 approval to build that? I am responsible for the approval of all military technology R and D and I was *never* told anything about this,'' Kate looked at Wallace, her eyes burining into him and yet he still remained unphased. 
 
 `` You were never asked to approve it because management elected to bypass the standard development approval process.'' he motioned to the door and Kate followed him, there was no sense in trying no to move. Once the door to the room was locked, Wallace continued, `` they decided to consult the secretary general in order to gain approval to construct the device.'' 
 
 `` So a few incidents and now Section 13 can build WMD's?!'' Kate demanded with disgust. 
 
 `` I would hardly say that, Cult uprisings, Demonic incursions and an attempt to sacrifice an entire city to a Pit Fiend can be refered to simply as `` incidents'', Commander Brannon and besides, it is not a weapon of mass destruction, it's a weapon of very targeted destruction.'' 
 
 `` Yes, that has the very specific target of anything supernatural within 100 miles.'' 
 
 `` Kate.'' She was taken aback, Wallace had n't refered to her by her actual name since he'd started working for Section 13. `` Just because there are Witches, such as yourself, and other Supernaturals, that work for the UN it does not mean that we can be without a safety measure for the worst case scenario. Understand?'' It had been a long, long time since Kate had seen her once childhood friend display any emotion but his frustration at this discussion was begining to reveal itself. 
 
 `` Section 13 was given aproval to build that device and deploy it should it ever become necessary. Do you understand, Commander? Or will I have to chalk this up to insubordination and attempted obstruction of Section 13 business?'' His once again calm composure made the threat even more prominant. 
 
 `` No, I appologise, Mr. Jones,'' Kate answered meekly, she hated that she had to bow to the whims of Section 13 but she, and everyone else who knew of Section 13, knew that it was suicide to try and oppose them. 
 `` Good,'' Wallace said flatly as he began to walk away, `` oh, one last thing,'' he paused half way through a stride, `` Overseer Smith wants to see you in his office one hour from now. Be there.'' Wallace walked off and Kate remained for a few moments, both angry at how much power Section 13 held that they could do as they like and saddened as she was once again reminded that Wallace was no longer who he had been only a few years before hand. 
 
 After the moments had passed, Kate composed herself and pledged a silent vow to herself. She would find out exactly what it was that Section 13 did and that the world would know about Section 13.
