Yuuka wasn't sure what he was trying to do. She heard that some Britannians liked to understate things for humorous effect. She thought it improved her chances of survival if she played along.
"Ah..hah..hah," she laughed nervously.
"Sorry. Do you want refreshments bring...ed...?"
"I didn't steal it; I'm borrowing it until I die.""I'm more curious about what brings you here to the brink of annihilation. Why do you choose to put yourself in these situations?" He smirked, "You seem to be regretting your choices now, why is that? Do the lives you take mean that little to you? Once you have chosen to kill a man, you must complete whatever it is you killed him for. Any less is disrespectful, isn't it?"
Meanwhile...
"Zero, I am afraid we must be going," Jean spoke up near Alaois, "There are some Guerrilla's in Indochina fighting Britannian occupation. It was interesting serving under you, my friend, but we were only paid for Narita."
"If money is all that interests you, you are free to leave. I wish you luck in your endeavors," Zero replied dramatically.
"Hey, Alaois, you're a Merc too, right? You can't be getting paid too well by this guy, join up with us and we'll move to where there's some fight to be had."

"Nah," Alaois replied. "I may be a merc, but I'm a merc against the Brits, and here I can do some real damage against them. Also, I don't think I'd be able to get used to a low-spec Frame again, and it'd be pretty hard getting the Cù away from here, and Llyod with it for repairs, without killing anyone- that wouldn't help anything. Remember those codes, though. You never know when they'll come in handy."
Hey look!. Yu-Gi-Oh meets wrasslin'!James blinked for the first time in a two minute interval. Amounts of code were speeding in his laptop's terminal, as he bit his lip in tension. He had ran away to a secure, isolated corner far away from the cell block where he could conduct the business undisturbed. The half butchered phone was connected through several cables to his laptop.
"... Triangulate..." He typed at several numbers. Blips and more data appeared in his screen. "Double check that."
He gave a long, paused inspiration. "Well. Better than nothing." He saved the configuration and the data in the laptop. He had sucessfully cracked the security of the device, which was loaded with countermeasures for a phone. It had to be, given the trade of his owner.
"All warfare is based on deception, huh?" He added, and sent forth another wave of ceaseless typing. He made sure to erase all traces of his illegal access to the phone, and triple-checked it. He also triple-checked that he had saved the data.
He then assembled the phone back, and begun to half-heartedly flunk its security to block it on purpose. He surpassed the attempts seconds before he crossed the door. He tried to avoid eye contact, instead choosing to stare at his feet.
Leaving the assembled cellphone, he uttered a single sentence, not paying attention to Hartell.
"This thing is loaded with security measures."
And, without making eye contact, he headed for the exit.

Oh yes, indeed it is. Smiling, Amando closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair in a picture of satisfaction. "Thanks for bringing it back in one piece!" he called after the retreating techie. And... let's see if you'll show me what you found, he thought, using his Geass to probe the newly-minted Knight's mind curiously.

GM: AGOG S4 & F/WC RP; Co-GM: TABA, SOTR, UUA RP; Sub-GM: TTS RP. I have brought peace, freedom, justice, and security to my new Empire.Whew, hope that worked. I'll tell Hartell of my findings afterwards. That guy gives me creeps, just like Zero. ZERO THE MOLEMAN! AND NOW HE'LL COMBINE WITH TOHDOH TO MAKE MAZIN ZERO! Now to get back to Ashford. I do wonder if Milly gets back pains? Man, sure is tough to be a busty girl. But still I'd prefer her as chief over Hartell. He doesn't look as good in a dress. Or a tutu. OH! I KNOW! I SHOULD GET A RIFLE WIELDING MONKEY IN A TUTU TO FIGHT ZERO! Will Euphie bake good cookies?
Oh my god, the mercenary thought in shock as he allowed his Geass to recede again, trying very hard not to snigger, this kid is even more crazy than Lloyd! Wait a minute, Euphemia bakes cookies? Wow, sounds tasty... wait! No! Don't be distracted by scrumptious, delicious-sounding cookies, even though you haven't eaten in... how long, again? Arrrrgh! Don't think about it! Back on track! Okay... okay. He thought he'd tell Hartell of his findings. So he found something , at least. Better plan for the worst.

GM: AGOG S4 & F/WC RP; Co-GM: TABA, SOTR, UUA RP; Sub-GM: TTS RP. I have brought peace, freedom, justice, and security to my new Empire."We could use a disinformation campaign saying we have an ex-black knight who has told us of Zero's horrors and true intentions. This smear should get the black knights intentions, we can then make a spectacle out of the prisoner transfer, that should surely flush out the black knights and Zero." Arthur says as he moves his hand in front of his face.
"And then we capture him, and crush his black knights." Arthur says dramatically balling his open hand into a closed fist.

[[User Banned]]_ My Pm box ix still open though, I think?Sudden movements. Bad idea. Sudden movements. Bad idea. Yuuka kept her hands rigid and unmoving, worrying that he had some kind of weapon hidden somewhere.
"Brink? Don't understand."
She gave a bepuzzled expression with a barely noticeable tinge of scorn, "This respect seems like invention of people with too much in their hands."
"I didn't steal it; I'm borrowing it until I die.""What do we have besides time? It is what gives us the boredom necessary to forge nations and then send them into ruins over and over again. But you do have a hint of truth, too many people have too much time. It would be better to shorten it, wouldn't it? Teach them that they must appreciate life for the brief time they have it. That's what you'd think," Damon said with a smile walking down to her, "But it doesn't work out like does it? With the precious minutes you have remaining, I doubt you're thinking of anything except how to make a few more. Behaving yourself. It implies you too have time to spare."
Meanwhile...
"Agreed," Hartell spoke up.
Gwared shrugged.

As soon as he was out of the room where Amando was, James spun a data card inbetween his fingers as he whistled his way through one of the tactical command computers. He would need a big screen and up to date maps. Without thinking too much, he sat in the terminal, uploading the data and whistling while typing fast. The situation deserved something big to stare upon.

"Again I wake up in a hospital bed, covered in bandages and bruises...this is starting to become a theme in my life, I'm not liking." Arthur thinks to himself as he walks by the integration room and over hears the parties talking.
"Did I hear someone mention the 36 stratagems?" Arthur chimes in as he walks in with bandages wrapped around his head and an ice pack in his right hand. He had just gotten the okay to return to duty after he was ordered to the infirmary, due to the results of his heated battle with the mysterious frame.
Arthur is embarrassed by his comments which now looked pathetic and cowardly in his mind and likely others as they now stand as the victors of the battle. He is not looking forward to facing either of the two princesses on base, let alone his over zealous father and ducking into an ongoing integration seems like the best idea to him.
