HELLSING Chapter 5 "Call to Power"

Call to Power is the fifth chapter of Hellsing: Volume 4]]. It is also the Twenty-Third chapter of the Hellsing manga.

Synopsis
Alucard rushes back to England to attend a meeting between Hellsing and Iscariot in the presence of The Queen. However, upon reaching the meeting, it is suddenly interrupted by the presence of Schrodinger who is serving as a Special Envoy for Millennium and The Major.

Plot
The Chapter starts with Alucard having a dream. In it, he recalls laying on the ground, a stake in his chest. Abraham Van Hellsing stands above him, chastising him and telling him that he has lost everything. His servants, his aspirations, his kingdom, and has become no more than the "No Life King". He then pounds the stake into his heart deeper. Alucard wakes up, crying tears of blood, realizing that it was a dream, before speaking of how odd it is for him to dream at all. The Meeting at the Crownie House begins, and the attendees speak of his tardiness, preparing to continue without him. Maxwell begins his report, stating that the allure of Millennium is great, and that very few in the world can resist the temptation of eternal life through vampirification. Maxwell further states that Millennium's agents have infiltrated everywhere. Government, Military, Economics and Religious Institutions. Maxwell insinuates that there may even be a rat among them somewhere. It is then that Alucard comes in. Integra sees him, welcomes him home, and tells him that he should remove his glasses in the presence of the queen. He acquiesced before boldly approaching her majesty. The Queen's Royal Guards tried to stop him, but he passes right through them and stops before her, allowing her to clearly see her face. She welcomes him with the flames of an old lover, telling him that he never changed, and that he is still handsome while she has become old. He tells her that she is as beautiful as ever, and has only gotten better with age. He then proceeds to tell everyone about Millennium and their history, as well as how he and Walter had destroyed them in the war. It is then that Schrodinger appears out of the blue. Integra asks Walter how he got in, and Walter tells her that there are no holes in security. Schrodinger responds by telling them that he is everywhere and nowhere. He tells them that he isn't there to fight, and that he is only there to deliver a message. He sets up a monitor and turns it on, but there seems to be technical difficulties. As it turns out, The Major was busy executing the Colonels who had previously abused him. He then greets the attendees of the meeting and proceeds to introduce himself. Integra asks him what he's doing this for, and The Major responds that she is asking a stupid question.

Trivia

 * Shrodinger's ability to be everywhere and nowhere is a reference to Schrodinger's Cat. According to https://Wikipedia.com and their page on the matter, | Erwin Schrodinger stated:
 * "One can even set up quite ridiculous cases. A cat is penned up in a steel chamber, along with the following device (which must be secured against direct interference by the cat): in a Geiger counter, there is a tiny bit of radioactive substance, so small, that perhaps in the course of the hour one of the atoms decays, but also, with equal probability, perhaps none; if it happens, the counter tube discharges and through a relay releases a hammer that shatters a small flask of hydrocyanic acid. If one has left this entire system to itself for an hour, one would say that the cat still lives if meanwhile no atom has decayed. The first atomic decay would have poisoned it. The psi-function of the entire system would express this by having in it the living and dead cat (pardon the expression) mixed or smeared out in equal parts. It is typical of these cases that an indeterminacy originally restricted to the atomic domain becomes transformed into macroscopic indeterminacy, which can then be resolved by direct observation. That prevents us from so naïvely accepting as valid a "blurred model" for representing reality. In itself, it would not embody anything unclear or contradictory. There is a difference between a shaky or out-of-focus photograph and a snapshot of clouds and fog banks."
