"Once again you are correct."
He smiled when she suggested that they try to confuse their enemies. He turned and walked up to the control panel and pressed a few buttons. The tower at the top of the factory began sending out signals once more. This time to towers all around the world. He made sure to target the points around the world that would make the signals seem like they would be coming from that direction. He chuckled and walked down to where Jackie was.
"There we are. I have made sure the tower sent out signals around the world. That would not only draw the sentinels there and destroy whatever's in their path, but make the would be heroes go everywhere but here."

"No, you have to throw suspicion here as well." Some would think Jackie had gone completely insane with her statement, that is until you thought about it. "If they check here, as well, and find nothing, why would they ever come back? We need the suspicion if only to just get rid of it."
She paused for only a moment before continuing. "We want them to think we're making a mistake." She smirked to herself, her fingers lightly twirling a lock of her hair.

"Don't worry, my dear, this place is also a target. We just need to sit back and wait."
He walked over and stood next to her, keeping an eye on the sentinels. Every now and then he would send a certain group to different parts of the world to cause damage. Others he made sure to target different military facilities. He chuckled as he sent one towards the Nightmares island, and another towards the brotherhood base. He looked to Jackie with his usual cold smile.
"One for the Brotherhood and one for the Nightmares. How many should we send to visit our friends at Xavier's place?"

She had to think about how many should be sent to the school. Really had to think. "More then one. Most definitely." But how many? It was impossible to know what sort of students and X-men called the school home, or what they could do. So, how were they to know if there was someone there that could stop the Sentinels?
"Several. If they have someone there can stop them, they will need the time to do as much damage as possible. And if they don't have someone." She paused, a shadowy smile touching the corners of her lips. "Then, we need to make sure the entire place is utterly destroyed."

"Ah, a woman after my own heart...if I had one."
He said with a chuckle, then looked to ten of the sentinels. With one small command, they marched out of the factory and took off into the air. Cain knew that with ten the mansion would be flattened at least, and one will be able to handle a small island full of mutants. He chuckled and laughed as one after another, the sentinels left the factory.
"This is indeed a glorious day. Don't you agree my dear?"

Why had Cain spoke of his heart? For once, a slightly puzzled look touched her expression, though only for a split second before it was replaced with awe as the Sentinels marched out of the Factory. A moment later, she grinned, holding back a laugh. She would pay anything to see the expressions on their faces when ten sentinels came knocking on their doors. Once again though, it made her curious about what students were there. Cain could probably find many new recruits there, if he were willing to... persuade them.
"Whole heartedly..." She had almost missed her chance of responding , only half registered what he had said and having to make up a quick response before he thought she was ignoring him. "Things are getting much more interesting."

Cain watched with pride as his creations martched out to wreak havoc on the world. The image of the world burning flames was enough to make his fingers twitch with excitement. He wished he could see the X-Men, Brotherhood, and Nightmares tremble at the power of his sentinels. When Jackie commented on what he said about the day, he couldn't help but give a small, inward laugh.
"Yes, interesting indeed."

"And what are you going to do with mutants they bring back...?
Jackie had not missed his ordering the Sentinels to capture what mutants they could. What would he do about those that didn't cooperate though? If they were useful, she'd rather not kill them even if they were being stubborn. When she had first arrived, she'd noticed the cell like rooms lining the wall, and that one of them had been used recently. So what had happened to whoever was being held before? And who had that person been?

When Jackie looked to the cell doors, Cain followed her gaze. His own falling on the one that once held Meav. His fists clentched once more, his eye twitching as he remembered the boy that single handedly ruined his plans. He was going to get his revenge, but first he would have to get them.
"The ones we bring back we'll change into our own slaves using Apocalypse's machine. Those that don't, well..." He smiled, looking to Jackie, "Everybody needs something to play with, don't they?"

"Attention: Sentinel units 1, 2, and 3 have been destroyed."
"What!?" Cain turned, more than a little surprised when the computer made the announcement. He quickly made his way into the control room, turning on the monitor that pointed the locations of the different sentinels. The monitor showed that three of the sentinels were indeed destroyed, and something was heading in their direction.
He smirked, having an idea on who might be coming this way. He knew of only one person that was aware of this place and who would be here. So, she thinks she can come here uninvited, does she?
"Jackie, how would you like to have a little fun with an old friend of mine?"

Like Cain, Jackie had been near shock when she heard the computer announce three Sentinels destroyed. So quickly?! But how?! Taking only a few moments to calm her nerves, she was suddenly curious. Who would be capable of taking a Sentinel down so easily? It was both frightening and exhilarating. Only when Cain turned to her did she stop her trail of thoughts to stare at him curiously.
After only a few moments she smiled, almost sweetly. But since this was Jackie, it wasn't as sweet as you would think. "I'd be happy to. Of course, now I am very curious as to who this might be." She had an eyebrow raised, still smiling.
((I'll bring Shadow in after you respond))

"Just a friend of mine, and old acquaintance. Remember, my dear, you can't be seen."
He hoped she had gotten what he was planning for Shadow. Shadow would enter, seeing him in the control room, helpless to fall to her power if need be. He would greet Shadow as he often did, trying to seem like the , a child testing his latest toy. What Shadow wouldn't realize is Jackie hidden in the shadows, ready to work inside Shadow's mind, should Cain not be able to persuade her to join.
"It seems that only the Nightmares could be able to destroy the sentinels. Shadow most likely destroyed the two at the same time, using their own bodies as weapons. But the third...who could posses such power?"

Jackie slowly nodded. "I know. That's the plan after all. Never seen, but always there. Just in case." She didn't waste anytime, her hands reaching down to touch the wheels on each side of her and push, steering herself towards one of the many rooms to conceal herself. She paused for only a moment when he spoke again.
Now she was curious. Whoever this 'old friend' of his was, had taken both down at the same time? What sort of power was this person capable of?! But when she noticed his own bafflement when he wondered over who had taken the third, her own curiosity sky rocketed. That he didn't know... That was an accomplishment of it's own. "Are you not capable of having the other Sentinel there find the cause? Or could you not salvage what was being broadcasted from the now destroyed sentinel?" She paused. "I would try salvaging what you could. Not only would you know who caused the destruction, but how."
With that, she smirked, and escaped into the room, leaving the door open ajar so she could hear and see what happened, but wouldn't be seen or heard herself.

"Yes, I need to find out how the other was brought down. However without the sentinel's programming, I can't find out."
"Attention: Sentinel units 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 have been terminated."
"WHAT???"
Cain began to grow angry, which was one thing he had never done before. He gritted his teeth as the veins in his neck began to pulse and show. He clenched his hands into fists, his breathing heavy as a cold wind began to blow around him. Without another word, he turned and headed into the control room. The ones that he had sent to the islands and the school were gone. He gave a loud growl and slammed his fist onto the console.
"I don't know who is destroying my creations, but I will send more now. If I can't with just two and ten of them, then I will send two and ten thousand!"

"Why, Cain. You must have realized that it wouldn't take to long for people to discover how to destroy you're creations."
Shadow was in the factory, two.. things floating behind her. Upon closer examination you would realize it was what was left of the Sentinels. She'd slammed them into each other so much they were near unrecognizable. Taking several steps forward, she moved the lumps of metal across the room and dropped them on the ground, right between Cain and Shadow. Taking several more steps, she spoke once more.
"So we weren't the only ones who sent you're pets to." She smirked. She'd reached the ramp now and was lightly walking up it, hand on the railing as she grew closer and closer to where Cain was throwing his fit. "You shouldn't be so angry though. At least I was kind enough to bring you're... presents back to you."
