"Did you know Yaz called you dad by accident while we were talking?"
“she did?” weller seems one part confused and one part pleasantly surprised, but he clears his throat to eliminate the odd tone quickly. “well, that’s odd. i’m sure either you misheard or it was a slip of the tongue. she doesn’t really strike me as the type, after all.”
HEY IM NOT REALLY HERE RN BUT I WILL NEVER EVER BE OVER HOW FUCKING VERBALLY AFFECTIONATE WELLER IS TOWARD YAZ, I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL
so. about weller and the union.
doctor weller started the gen:LOCK program when he was still a head scientist in the union. the plan was to create fighters that were unable to be killed in combat so the union could wipe the vanguard out and take over with ease. when he discovered that the “test pilots” he was being given were unwilling participants and the union was essentially building his work on cemented corpses, he realized his grave mistake in joining them and left.
he took every bit of data he could with him and corrupted the rest of it to the point that it was unusable, destroyed the holons he had made for the union, contacted the vanguard for help, and ran.
the reason he’s so picky about who is part of the program stems from how many people he watched die in their pods like sinclair, how many people he watched survive it and come out entirely different than they started. he watched his work, which was started for the sole purpose of helping a cause he thought was just and good, turn into a bastion of destruction and death and couldn’t stand for it.
he keeps his former union alliance a secret from those who don’t need to know now. colonel marin, yazamin, and chase are the only ones he’s willingly told. otherwise, he keeps it under wraps because he’s more than well aware that people are less likely to trust him and his work because of it.
the union wants weller back bad, both to punish him and to have his mind on their side again, and he’s doing everything in his power to prevent that from happening.

Madrani mulls over the answer she’s given and gives a small nod after a while, it could have been a lot worse than just being sore so she supposed he had gotten off pretty lucky. “I suppose he wouldn’t want to kill you seeing as your the only one authorised to initiate gen:LOCK.” There was the override code herself and Chase had but that was only to be used in dire situations.
weller nods in agreement, his excitement seeming to quell for a moment. he steps closer to yasamin, resting his hand on her shoulder with a soft smile. “how’re you holding up?” he asks. “you handled him well physically, but i could tell you were upset. can’t have that, now can we yaz-e-man?”

“I suppose they would still have to find a one in a million candidate as well.” Madrani shrugs, the little worry being pushed to the back of her mind for now. Even if they did get their hands on a pilot, and had that pilot steal a Holon, there was a kill switch for each unit should one ever fall into Union control. “He didn’t hurt you at all, did he?” Weller was all she had when it came to people who fully trusted her and she would give her own life to see him safe if need be.
weller rolls his shoulder a bit. “ah, he threw me like a wad of rubbish, but i’m tougher than i look!” he declares. “i’ll be sore for a day or two, but nothing i can’t handle.” though he’s not uncertain that sinclair would have shot him if he hadn’t been careful. it was risky enough just getting the confirmation that he was an i m p o s t o r .

“I suppose you’re right, Doctor.” A soft sigh left her lips as she decided to just move on past that little incident now that it was all over, thank god that Union spy wasn’t gen:LOCK compatible. Thinking about that did bring another question to mind about the Union and what they might be planning for their next big move. “They seemed to want a Holon… you don’t think they’d be able to construct their own… do you?”
“oh, i highly doubt that!” doctor weller says confidently. after all, any of his research that was left behind at the union for one reason or another was corrupted beyond readability. even if they managed to find a small piece of it, they’d never find its partner. “and even if they did, it wouldn’t be anything like these.”

“He never hurt any of the other pilots, thankfully enough.”
The pilot shrugged as she folded her arms across her chest, how he managed to always have a spring to his step and remain so calm and happy would forever confuse her, even at gunpoint he was still so calm. That was one of the many things she admired about the Doctor, he was a good man.
“I can’t belive I didn’t realise he was a Union spy…”
“i wouldn’t beat yourself up over it too much.” the doctor insists, waving a hand to dismiss her worries. “he gave none of us reason to suspect, and--” well, the next part he hasn’t quite figured out yet, has he? “ah, let’s just say the union is getting more clever, yes?” he pats her shoulder. “you did excellently, yaz-e-man. don’t be so quick to discredit yourself.”

“Do we have a replacement for Sinclair or are we just scrapping his suit?”
Yasamin asked with a small sigh as she glanced over to the working Doctor, she was a little annoyed that she hadn’t been able to tell that he was a Union spy but at least everyone was ok.
“well, that’s a very good question, yasamin.” weller muses, still swiping through his data and typing away. “the real sinclair was one in a million, just like the rest of you! sooo... we’ll have to look a little harder for a replacement.” he spins around to face her, bright smile in place as usual. “until then, we’ll continue to make proper repairs to his holon in the event of either a new pilot orrrr, well, a need for spare parts on another.”
Dr Weller addressing Holon pilots with their language
San (さん) (sometimes pronounced han (はん) in Kansai dialect) is the most commonplace honorific and is a title of respect typically used between equals of any age. Although the closest analog in English are the honorifics “Mr.”, “Miss”, “Ms.”, or “Mrs.”, -san is almost universally added to a person’s name; -san can be used in formal and informal contexts and for both genders. Because it is the most common honorific, it is also the most often used to convert common nouns into proper ones, as seen below. (wiki)
-e-man. In the character teaser, he pronounces Yasamin’s name as “Yaz-a-meen,” which is more or less the appropriate pronunciation of her name. When speaking to her here, however, his pronunciation is closer to “eh-man,” which would be “-e-man,” the Farsi suffixes for “of mine.” This construction is used to indicate an affectionate relationship (“gol-e-man” as “Flower of mine/my flower,” “nour-e-man” as “light of mine/my light” etc). While the structure can be used between lovers, it can also be used between family members, such as with a father for his daughter. (personal knowledge)
dr. weller: i’ve only had iida-san, cammie, yaz, val, and chase for a day and a half, but if anything happened to them, i would kill everyone in the anvil and then myself.
@maccloud-cameron replied to your post: i hope everyone in gen:LOCK is ready for weller to...
[ I am 50:50 on whether he’d be the best or the worst Dad. ]
BEST DAD, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT
get ready for lots of shoulder pats and arm-around-the-neck while he laughs and tells you how proud he is to have you on his team. lots of “oh shit you don’t like that much sugar in your tea? let me just make you an entirely new pot and throw this one out.” lots of “i know it’s scary and bad and awful so i will do everything in my power to make you feel comfortable and at home.”
aka, cammie--get ready for lots of random plushies he spots and thinks “oh she’d like that!”
i hope everyone in gen:LOCK is ready for weller to be their dad, because it’s gonna happen and you have no choice. bad day? sit down and have some tea and tell me aaaaaaaaaaaaaall about it
i know i stuck a starter call out yesterday but how about a little plotting call?

“And if it’s pertinent to a mission or a project I’ve been assigned to?” Still keeping her poker-face going strong, somehow, despite that odd glimmer in her eye.
“well, you’re a soldier, i’m sure there have been missions you’ve gone on that you weren’t allowed to know everything about!” he decides. “surely you aren’t that underused in combat, miss worth.”

What did a Union takeover look like, from the inside? Ray and perused a few records in the European wartime, just to read up on what he could expect. After all, the Union paid valid money just like the Polity, and for an information broker, pragmatism beat patriotism every time. But sure, he’d thought a few times about what a cold Union advance could do to the country.
Well…now he knew. And it was more than a little unnerving. Even for a rigger who knew his drones better than most people know their best friends, seeing that level of control over so many machines and nanobots was distressing.
“London?” The place with the big clocktower, the palace. He’d seen those somewhere. “So what brought you here?” And what was taking them so long to process Ray? Was he under arrest, or not?
something beeps on the datapad weller is using, and a few strings of information begin to flit past. his expression seems to light up as he reads, his eyes darting back and forth as he goes. p e r f e c t .
“what brought--?” he raises a brow in confusion, looking up and realizing he was being spoken to. “oh! yes, london!” he laughs and sets the datapad to the side. “well, when the union moved in, we had to relocate and i ended up in the new york division of the polity for my research. lucky for me, all my physical research was west, so the vanguard kept it safe and sound.”
he sits down then, grinning at ray. “which brings me to my next point.” he muses. “i read your files, er--you read a bit about the gen:LOCK program i assume, while you were looking things over? yes?”
so. about weller and the union.
doctor weller started the gen:LOCK program when he was still a head scientist in the union. the plan was to create fighters that were unable to be killed in combat so the union could wipe the vanguard out and take over with ease. when he discovered that the “test pilots” he was being given were unwilling participants and the union was essentially building his work on cemented corpses, he realized his grave mistake in joining them and left.
he took every bit of data he could with him and corrupted the rest of it to the point that it was unusable, destroyed the holons he had made for the union, contacted the vanguard for help, and ran.
the reason he’s so picky about who is part of the program stems from how many people he watched die in their pods like sinclair, how many people he watched survive it and come out entirely different than they started. he watched his work, which was started for the sole purpose of helping a cause he thought was just and good, turn into a bastion of destruction and death and couldn’t stand for it.
he keeps his former union alliance a secret from those who don’t need to know now. colonel marin, yazamin, and chase are the only ones he’s willingly told. otherwise, he keeps it under wraps because he’s more than well aware that people are less likely to trust him and his work because of it.
the union wants weller back bad, both to punish him and to have his mind on their side again, and he’s doing everything in his power to prevent that from happening.
