[It really doesn't matter that he's heard all of this before and this is Kidd essentially presenting it to those who have come along to the meet up, every time that the perhaps not-so strange appearance of Artemicion is mentioned it always grants a double take. If Palitutu hadn't already confiscated a weapon with the whole purpose of turning it on them, then what -was- the initial intention? Preventing an Avatar from doing the same? It doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

But what -does- make a lot of sense-]

We found it more logical to confiscate than to destroy, in this instance. Not only does this enable for us to potentially learn more about the weapon we're to be facing down in a months time, through study, but -should the need be required- we should be able to utilize it ourselves. An ace in our hand that even Palitutu may well not expect.

[He took a breath, no more comfortable standing and talking about it really than Kidd had been. Having the obvious feeling sit that he was probably going to be flamed at, by someone. Sephiroth attempts to continue to quash the obvious objection-]

It's secure, and by no means accessible to any one Hero of Light alone who might think -of their own will or not- to take it for a joy ride.
