I have the latest report, my lady. The Third Heroic Spirit Soldier Regiment and Second Transportation Corps we sent to invade Echigo were both defeated...

...along with the Armored Heroic Spirit Soldier Type A sent along to command them, ONI MUSASHI.

Not that, fool. The Heroic Spirit Restraint Armor. I thought they were supposed to give me complete control over any Heroic Spirit imprisoned in them.

So why did Katsuzou go off to battle on his[sr]own when I never authorized his deployment?

Yes, well, theoretically, the Heroic Spirit Restraint Armor Type A can indeed control any Heroic Spirit perfectly...
[k]
[charaFace C 3]

...but in practice, the subject's mental state can have a significant effect on that control.

Katsuzou[line 2]Mori, was it? I'm afraid the restraints fare worst on Berserkers and those with Mental Corruption...

As for her remark, she's set up to kill Nobunagas since that's who you're up against, so I'm afraid there's little to be done there.

Pardon the intrusion, my lady! We've just received word that enemy forces from Echigo are making their way towards the Imperial Capital at incredible speed.

There aren't many of them, but we have confirmed a few powerful Servants among them.
