[k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Holmes Only because they weren't trying very hard to capture us. I suspect Pope Johanna had something to do with that. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 5] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Kadoc Why would she do that? [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 5] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Holmes Not for us. That much is clear. [k] @Holmes No, I believe she simply wanted to learn as much as she could about Chaldea. [k] @Holmes We are no more than invaders as far as she's concerned. Though... [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 5] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Kadoc What? [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Holmes I also don't believe that was the only reason she made contact with us. [k] @Holmes She has her own share of troubles she's currently agonizing over. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 5] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Kadoc You got any proof? Or maybe some reason to explain why you'd think that? [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 5] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Holmes She knew exactly who we were. [k] @Holmes That alone isn't surprising. Not with Moriarty here. [k] @Holmes He's almost certainly working behind the scenes, which means we should assume that this realm already knows about us, if not the others as well. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Kadoc Yeah, fair point. [k] @Kadoc There're all sorts of ways Moriarty could feed them information without ever having to show himself. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Holmes Which just leaves one question. [k] @Holmes Brief though my conversation with Pope Johanna was, I could tell she is both intelligent and sensible. [k] [charaFace B 7] @Holmes So what could have made her think she'd have a chance of extracting information from me? [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut F 1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 8] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Da Vinci Cocky as that is of you, you're not wrong. [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut F 1200,1200] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 4] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Kadoc Good point. I was thinking the same thing. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut F 1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 7] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Mash If I were against you, Holmes, I'd be worried about giving up information if I tried to extract any from you. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut F 1200,1200] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 8] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Holmes Precisely. [k] @Holmes Let us say for the moment that she came to us alone and tried to extract information from us in the guise of offering assistance. [k] [charaFace B 7] @Holmes The act itself is so bizarre, it defies conventional understanding. [k] @Holmes My reputation precedes me, after all. So instead, she was likely[line 2] [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 5] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Kadoc ...pretending to try to get information out of us while actually feeding it to us? [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Holmes Correct. [k] @Holmes In fact, she may even sincerely believe her actions are not in conflict. [k] @Holmes That she was merely doing her best to aid her realm. [k] [charaFace B 5] @Holmes But that cannot, logically speaking, be the case. [k] @Holmes Perhaps it was her duty as a guardian of humanity that drove her to act. Perhaps another emotion altogether. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Kadoc ...Well, either way, at least we made it out of there. [k] @Kadoc So, what's next? [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut F 1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 10] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Goredolf What else? You keep on investigating the Singularity. [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 4] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Mash ...[sr]... [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 10] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] [charaMoveReturn E 0,-7 0.4] @Goredolf ...Ahem. [k] @Goredolf From what we've learned about the Revenge Realm, there is nothing Holmes can do there on his own. [k] [charaFace E 15] @Goredolf As such, our current priority is gathering more information. Once we resolve this Singularity... [k] @Goredolf ...that should give [%1] the opportunity to come back to us. [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 12] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Mash ...[sr]...Director, um... [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 15] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Goredolf ...Of course. [k] @Goredolf There is no question in anyone's mind that[sr][%1] is essential to our combat capabilities. [k] @Goredolf Therefore... [k] @Goredolf ...I will put together a plan to rescue [&him:her] from the[sr]Revenge Realm once we have sufficient information and allies. [k] [charaFace E 16] @Goredolf We will discuss it further then, and only then.[sr]Any objections!? [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 1] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Mash None at all! [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut F 1200,1200] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Holmes Agreed. [k] @Holmes With the right factors in place, mounting a rescue would certainly be within the realm of possibility.

So, what's our next move then, Holmes? If we're not going to the Revenge Realm, then[line 2] [k] [charaFace B 7] @Holmes The Righteous Realm, of course. [k] [charaFace A 6] @Kadoc Are you serious? I mean, we're talking about Charles the Great here, right? [k] @Holmes Do you think Kriemhild, a queen who named her realm for her lust for vengeance, would be more amenable to peaceful discussion? [k] [charaFace A 7] @Kadoc ...Well, no, but[line 2] [k] [charaFace B 8] @Holmes Then let us be on our way. Mind, this is only speculation on my part...
