[ Artemicion looked at K'pandolu. ]

The black crystal is what we'll be using to lure Ultima Weapon, Kupo. It seems to have effects on the fragment of the Calamity that Kalki claims is a part of you. We hope to use it to virtually amplify the Calamity in you and fool Ultima Weapon into thinking the Calamity is here, Kupo.

[unyieldingspirit]

A black crystal…

[between that and whatever power this Ultima Weapon might have, she's feeling rather less than assured. There are no Ascians involved that she knows of, but…]

I would like to know more about those effects, but for now- I need assurances. [and she glances about at all of them, meaning to make eye contact.] I need to know that each of us will do whatever we can to ensure that this succeeds with a minimum of casualties- that we prevent inference from outside sources as best we can.

[thegreatninja]

[Yuffie listens curiously. She is usually one to snap and say something sarcastic but Jessie and Artemicion seem to have thought this through so she has nothing to say.

She does however make eye contact with K'pandolu with a slight scowl on her features.]

That is stupid. Of course we are going to try and not get hurt or get others hurt. If you really think that any of those involved would do that then leave.

[With what's about to happen they didn't need any doubt and having her motives be put in question is more than a little insulting for the proud ninja.]

[line_piece]

[Chiaki sighs a bit, shaking her head.]

It's a risky plan. It's natural to be worried about it. But I don't think we can afford to be sending anyone away who wants to help. Let's just agree that we're all going to do our best to keep the city safe - it should be fine to leave it at that, right?

[soldierofloveandbeauty]

[Minako wished in all honesty that she could say 'Hey none of us will get hurt' or that 'there will be minimum casualties' but she has been many a battle and always knows there is a change of getting hurt or death.]

As much as I would love to baby you into thinking that there will be minimum casualties, I very much doubt that will be the case. While it is important to try and stay safe, the risks are too great to reassure you of such a thing, you should be able to understand that. If not then why are you even joining in the fight?

The most important thing is to instead focus on doing your best to avoid it and not focus on that.

[With that out of the way, she is focused on the task at hand.]

However plan wise, I'll always try to do my best with defence, if I die then that nothing unusual.

[neverfirstclass]

[Cloud finally speaks up, a little shocked at the mention of a need for a Magitek Knight. There aren't that many among the Heroes near as he knows, and if Marshal Nevada is busy with the police forces then that means....]

Me...

[He shakes his head and breaks out of his mumbling daze.]

I'm a Magitek Knight. I worked on learning that job after you gave it to me after...[He trails off, not particularly wanting to think about his death in their first encounter with the Empire.]

I agree with the others. From the sound of it this is our best way to limit the amount of damage and casualties this city is going to see...but we're not going to have an option to save everyone. Not with our numbers. But I don't think anyone will do less than the best they can.

Is the Weapon anything like any other Magitek Armors? I mean how it's piloted and everything. Does it have a normal cockpit? [Taking it over and using it against the Imperial forces is one thing. Not destroying the city in the process is the slightly more important thing though.]

[thegreatninja]

[Yuffie's smile grows looking over at Cloud. She runs over and jumps on him as if the argument seconds before had slipped her mind.]

Yeah! Cloud's got this!

[Plus fighting with him reminds her of old times which is always fun. Yuffie looks back at the group, releasing Clouds neck, and then standing next to him. She is completely ignoring K'pandolu for the time being.]

We got a knight and so we just need to go bug some of the other heroes to hack and fight with us. [Though she's sure that some will join in the fighting when they see the Ultima weapon hovering over the city.]

[melnics]

Meredy will become a Hacker, too!

( the girl had been listening quietly, quickie perched on her shoulder, and both of them paying attention this time.

from the sounds of it, this job might be something to be interested in, with the bonus of having studied engineering in celestia as well.

aside from that, she didn't have much more to add, but nodded at the heroes enthusiastically as they spoke their turns. )

[unyieldingspirit]

Of course…

[…of course there could be casualities. Certainly, if the Ultima Weapon gets free…

…she can't think like this. Not when people are relying on- this plan. If he were awake… she'd never hear the end of it.

No. As a Scion, as a soldier of the Maelstorm…

Til sea swallows all.

She straightens, tail flicking, and breathes. With a glance at Cloud, she nods, feelings pushed aside for now.]

I would assume there would be- it seems the easiest post from which to control such a thing. Otherwise- could our Hackers create something themselves?

[line_piece]

[Chiaki's posture relaxes just a bit as the argument seems to subside for the moment, her expression brightening as Meredy wanders over to volunteer to help as well.]

So we have a hacking team and a pilot. Now we just need enough people to keep us safe while we work. I think we can probably rely on whoever is around at the time to help, but it might be good to try to do some recruiting between now and then.

[As to K'pandolu's question, though...]

Jessie, do you have a diagram or schematics of the Ultima Weapon's design? I remember seeing something like that before in your lab. There must be an existing entry point if you're proposing a plan like this, right?
