Rachel takes a long, slow breath, and bites her lip. Then she shakes her head, and straightens in her chair. "Valkenhayn." she says, to the empty air, aware that he can hear her regardless of their distance in the mansion. "If you would ask Tager to alert Kokonoe and come to the den so that we may form a course of action, I would be grateful. I will attempt to contact Hakumen at the same time." |

A few minutes later... Valkenhayn had arrived, the Red Devil following in his wake. After bowing to Rachel once, the werewolf silently took his place behind her right shoulder, one arm folded behind his back, the other right at his side. "My apologies, Rachel." Tager spoke up. My efforts to reach Kokonoe have been slightly hindered by the the pure sorcery of this domain. She can hear what we have to say, but unfortunately, she will not be able to communicate with us as she would like. The only way I managed to find that much out is by trial and error. Unless she can find a way to get around the atmosphere in your manor itself, she will be forced to listen from the outside and not contribute." Edited by Blue Warlord, Jul 24 2012, 09:32 PM.

Ragna and Tsubaki enter a moment later, the latter doing what she could to hide a scowl. Ragna slumps into a chair and nods at Rachel. "Got her. What now? 'Sup, rust bucket." Tsubaki turns to Tager and forces a smile. "Hello, Mr. Tager." |

Hakumen enters, an air of determined annoyance surrounding him. "And for what reason was this council convened?" he asks abruptly. He pauses and glances about the room. He nods at Valkenhayn and Tsubaki and ignores Ragna. He focuses on Rachel and asks shortly, "And the reasoning behind the diverse cast?" |

"You have missed the events of the last few days, and I felt it necessary to pool our information and decide on a course of action." Rachel says, reclining in her chair. "For those unaware: two days ago, the Wadatsumi branch of the NOL was attacked and destroyed by a mercenary faction and a ex-NOL trainee, who had more or less adopted the escaped thirteenth Murakumo unit - Nu. They managed to recover her and demolished the branch." She crosses her legs. "They did not know she was currently being used to amplify the Cauldron in an experimental procedure to compress Seithr into a corporeal, liquid substance. When they disconnected her, the Cauldron . . . drained into her, for lack of a better terminology. The Wadatsumi Cauldron is no more, and Nu is now - beyond any of us. Far beyond." "This has caused the NOL to go into high alert. They have mobilized all of their units, and descended on Wadatsumi. I, with aid from some of those here, managed to evacuate the rescuers from their homes before the NOL struck back." "Essentially - for the first time - there is enough power collected here in this mansion, that we might be able to crush the NOL, and their puppeteers, Terumi and Relius Clover." |

Tsubaki's eyes widen continuously during Rachel's explanation. When it's over, it's all Tsubaki can do to stammer out a response. "N-Nu...is...that's..." "NOL's screwed." Ragna wraps an arm around her shoulders and draws her in for a tight hug, manic glee written on his face. "As soon as we destroy Terumi's life link, he's done for." "I...wow. But..." Tsubaki straightens up and calms herself down. "What...there has to be some sort of risk to Nu having such power...I mean, Ragna's in eternal danger of succumbing to his grimoire. Logically, for even more of the same power..." |

"Agreed. This seems like too much of a lucky break to not consider side effects and catches." Tager spoke up. "Whilst the Murakumo Unit may be the strongest being on the entire planet by a significant margin, we cannot allow that power to fall into the enemy's hands once again, nor can we allow Nu to "overload" or whatever term would be appropriate here." The Red Devil thought about this for a moment. "How many people other than those in this room know of the Murakumo's power? Does she even know how strong she is right now? Because an uncontrolled powerhouse can be one of the most dangerous things on the planet." Valkenhayn just nodded back at Hakumen, before remaining silent at Rachel's side. |

Hakumen's mind works at top-speed. A Murakumo unit, Nu-13 herself, with the power of a Cauldron would be more than formidable. It would be nearly unstoppable. "As much power as the unit may offer, her strength is undoubtedly a blight as much as a boon. Terumi will be out for her and her energy. With the power of entire Cauldron at his fingertips...It was certainly understandable why the NOL captured her," he says slowly. "No matter our course of action, she must be protected at all costs." |

Rachel shakes her head slowly. "Nu is a Murakumo." she said. "Her frame is literally designed to handle Seithr in extremely high quantities. She will incur no harm from the power boost itself. This said, should Terumi find a way to transfer his lifelink to Nu, he will draw the Cauldron from her." The vampiress's face grows bleak. "Nu would likely not survive the process, and Terumi would destroy everything. It is true, our first priority is to protect her. Thus, she will remain here." She glances at Tager. "Those who know are in this room. I suspect that Terumi and Hazama know that the Cauldron is gone, but not what has happened to it." Rachel leans back into her chair. "I have . . . encouraged Nu not to exert Seithr within my mansion, as it would not interact well with my magic. This is true, but it obfuscates the main point of her discovering the limits of her power. I am afraid that should she discover it she would assault the NOL by herself, in order to spare her family any more fighting. She has, unfortunately, adopted some of the self-sacrificial ethic they possess." |

"And if she did that, everything would go to hell somehow." Still, Ragna smirks. Family, huh? Good for her, after all the shit she's been through. "So, we gonna test her limits by blowing the Air Corps base outta the sky, then?" Tsubaki's eyes widen. "What? No, she can't do that on her own. That thing would..." "Not on her own. I stand by and take out any assholes that try to cut her down, you keep the piece of shit from firing." |
