[Meanwhile, you two are in Lydia's office. We'll say you told her everything you found out, for time saving sake.] [Start here, too!] [Lydia listens to your story quietly. Once it's finished, she asks, "What are your plans?"] * Roseli shrugs slightly. "Not sure what we're allowed." * Heinrick sighs slightly and pushes his glasses up his nose. "This is a tricky matter after all. We're not even sure it's within our jurisdiction." [Lydia folds her hands. "Hector Cayil is a politically powerful man. Moreover, he's like a brother to the Chancellor. We can't afford to accuse him of anything without decisive evidence."] And if the evidence turns out to be founded? What then? ["Then we take him in. The Chancellor will have to deal with the fallout. But it would be worse if Cayil succeeded in a terrorist opperation."] * Roseli nods. "Don't know if it's terrorism yet. Need more evidence." * Heinrick lets out a shrug. "And this is why I never deal in politics." [Lydia nods. "You need any evidence, actually. Testimony given under telepathic control doesn't hold sway in court."] * Heinrick pushes his glasses up again. "So if I am reading correctly, all we *can* do at this point is gather information." [Lydia nods.] * Heinrick turns to Roseli. "Well then. I'm still up for a party if you are. All we need to do is get on the guest list." * Roseli nods to Heinrick, then turns to Lydia. "Heinrick came up with the beginnings of a plan." [Lydia nods again. "Let's hear it."] Cayil is hosting a party in order to celebrate the release of the Emperor system. It seems as if it would be our best option to at least find out his involvement in this matter. If we can get as many of our people in as possible it would be useful, but especially Luana and Keiko. Luana would be able to disguise herself as one of the guards or servers and move more freely. And Keiko, of course, could hear things that others could not. Although, as you said, not permissible in court. I doubt there would be any databases available but if so, we would require your ward as well, Ms. Tavares. However, I would believe the doll would be the most prominent to stand out... She'll adjust. [Lydia nods. "It sounds like a sound plan."] If we are lucky, copies from the database of any monetary transactions in particular might be the most prominent hard evidence we could conceive of at this time. * Roseli nods. "Can get testimony out of Kappel. Mind control got answers quicker, but." [Lydia's phone rings. She picks it up. "Control." She frowns as she listens, then says, "Hang on."] [Lydia looks back to you. "I think you've planned for the situation well. You should prepare for tonight. You still need to get yourselves on the invitation list."] * Heinrick turns to Roseli. "I believe Ten and Hotaru could have fun with that. What do you think?" She'll get the information. * Heinrick nods and slight bows. "By your leave, Control." [Lydia interrupts! "There is one other thing. We may have a replacement for Gottlieb."] * Roseli raises an eyebrow. * Heinrick straightens up and raises an eyebrow. "Oh?" * Roseli doesn't kill Heinrick for copying her. Yet. [Lydia nods. "I don't know the details. I was informed by the Director only a little bit ago."] ["Nevertheless, you should be informed."] * Heinrick isn't copying her. He raised the OTHER eyebrow. That was awfully fast. ["It certainly seems that way, doesn't it." She looks back at the phone. "I have to take this. You may go."] * Heinrick nods. "Keep us informed." He turns to leave. * Roseli nods and is gone. [You leave the office! And you can talk to each other, or just go to the room.] Going to need aliases. * Roseli glances at Heinrick. "No good having the Wards go in without us." * Roseli is heading back to the meeting room. * Heinrick nods and walks calmly. "Indeed. Especially with how headstrong Keiko can be." She doing well? Generally. It took her long enough to establish some semblance of trust in the first place. * Heinrick smirks and shrugs slightly. "I honestly have *no idea* how *that* worked out." Ten and Hotaru then? Hotaru's developing. Ten's upset. Because Hotaru's developing? Most likely. Upset when I'm there. Upset when I'm not. Poor girl, so torn. * Roseli doesn't sound very broken up about it. Well then. If she's upset no matter what, you might as well be there. It's only logical. * Roseli looks amused now. "You think so." (Question or statement?) [You get to the meeting room.] (Yes.) (Understood.) * Heinrick lets Roseli in first. Because he's a proper Swiss gentleman! * Roseli walks on in.
