Questions, Luceti! I've got maybe three.

1. Are there any princesses here? --I'll have follow-ups on this one if you agree.

2. Does Luceti have a copy machine that can blow up photos?

3. Does anyone know a lot about robots, hacking, really tall ladders, or shifts?

Thanks!

You're going to kidnap the kidnapping droids? [that alone sounded crazy enough...]

Yeah, running ideas by me is fine. Generally I think about all possible angles before coming to a proper conclusion. I've won matches against a witch like that, I think I'll be good for an advisor position.

They've got access to the shifts that can make the barrier open and close, so if we can overwrite the programming on one of them, we might be able to get some of us out. At least enough to go after the Malnosso.

[Battler turned to look at her.]

You've thought this through huh...? But what about the other droids? If they see you maybe they'll set off an alarm to alert the Malnosso of what you're planning.

Of course. If we do that we're going to have to have a team to contain intruders. Preferrably, we can get one down into the tunnels. I don't know if the droids will work there or not, but at the very least we can put ourselves in a dead end so they can't sneak up on us. It may seem more bleak, but all we would need to do is fight the response team off while we've got the programmers working furthest back. If we get enough fire power long enough for them to reprogram one, we can wait until later to activate it. They don't kill anyone during the experiments as far as I know, so even if we eventually lose whoever they're after, we'll get them back and we can strike when they least expect it by activating our programming on our own schedule, after the droid is already back with the Malnosso. If they get the droid back, the assault on us should stop.

Any objections, Mr. Adviser?

[As Yuri was explaining things Battler had reached up to his color, loosening his tie.]

I don't really like the idea of.... getting someone back eventually if we fail. People have been sent away and don't come back. Hell, even I was here earlier and was sent away before returning again.

I don't remember any of that though.

Neither do I and we're going to try our damned well hardest not to let that happen, but we have to consider it an option. Nothing's ever accomplished without risk, right?

[he sighs a bit.] That's true... I know all about taking massive risks and waiting for it to pay off. Only- I've never seen the rewards.

[he's thinking about her plan though... he doesn't exactly agree with it just yet- but she does seem to have everything pretty well planned out.]

I've seen rewards before. Not necessarily the ones that you're thinking of, probably because what I call "results" from my last world is different than what you might. If we never take any risks, nothing will ever happen though. We just have to try to contain those risks as much as possible.

I see.... hm, well I don't see any flaws in your plan- just that it's very high risk. Everything has to go smoothly or else we might not be getting someone back.

When people don't come back it's usually not from kidnappings, it's because they went home, right?

....True.

So are you saying it's a mission accomplished if they get sent back home? [he frowns.] I'm not too sure about this plan anymore...

No way! I'm saying, usually people don't disappear from getting kidnapped by the Malnosso. Geez, I'm not going to go about trying to send people home anymore.

I was going to say.... I know I have things to do back home but-.. dammit, this place is a nice change, I'd like to stay here for a while at least.

I told you, I don't want to force anyone to go home. Even if I go back I don't know that Naoi will and we're from the same world. If he goes back he'll stop existing. The point of the SSS here isn't to make everyone go back. Just.. to get the ability to get out if we want it and stop the Malnosso from kidnapping and experimenting on people against their will.

[Battler's just quiet as he listens to her...]

Mmm.... right right, I really don't like them kidnapping people or anything, that's just all wrong.

That's one of the reasons we're doing this right? I guess we need to make an official mission statement.

[a sigh.]

...Tell me, honestly, do you think it will work? What are you hoping for exactly?

Even if there's a chance that it never will, we have to try. [ She pauses for just a moment. ] I have to try, at least. If you don't want to I won't blame you. I kind of hoped you would want to work with me.

Hey hey, I never said anything about not wanting to work with you anymore. I'm your advisor right? I was just asking what you really thought about all this.

What I really think is that we have a shot. It might seem impossible and it might take years and years to accomplish anything, but we have to start somewhere and we can't just sit here getting experimented on and acting like we don't have rights as human beings. If we don't show the Malnosso that we do, then there isn't a boundary they'll even think twice about crossing.

Years? Yeah, I figured as much. I won't let them experiment on me or my friends either- so you're right, we can't let them do whatever.

[he turns and lays down on his bed though...] Tell me more details later... I'm already pretty tired.

[ kajhglask don't lay down while she's still hanging out on your bed Battler! Her eyes widen. ]

D-Don't go to sleep while you've got a guest over!

Eeehh... but I'm sleepy!

[TOO BAD!! he's not budging!]

I'm going to push you onto the floor.

[ What's gentlemanly about going to sleep when a girl's in your bed already!? ]

[he grabbed his pillow, hugging it and curling up into a ball when she said that >8( ]

It's my bed.....
