Richard shakes his head, and looks for Marie.

----------------

Mara sets up some sandbags and places her machinegun on them, preparing for anyone who comes at the ship.

Harbinger coughs.

((Shame. But seriously.

This will be one of the most badass moments in LaFoTM history, hopefully. Or a badly contrived crossover.

Ehh. I felt bored when I thought this up.))

Meanwhile....elsewhere....

Albrecht returns to a conference table, sighing. The conference table is surrounded by various people.

"The fools didn't agree to surrender the ship.
What do we have ready?"

"The Perceval and Tristan are ready. As is the Infinity."

"We also have the stolen LEP shuttles."

"And the AT walker. I could mobilize the TIE fighters if you need, Admiral."

"Excellent. And what of our friend Valjean?"

"He's ready. The Geass you put on him helped. As did the mesmer from the two fairies."

"Glad to serve!"
"Glad to serve!"

"And you, commander? What do you make of this?"

"This is excellent. You may not see why, but it is.
Albrecht, mobilize the army. Bonnie, Clyde, you know what needs doing.
Cruikshank, get the hangar ready. Kale, Adar, you know what needs doing. As do you....Vladimir.
Chabon, help Cruikshank.
We move soon. I trust it will go well, Albrecht?"

"It will go well, sir.....
Do you have that.....thing we discussed?"

"It's waiting for you. You'll like it."

"If it's to specification, I will find I quite like it, sir."

Albrecht and various other entities make their move. conversing with each other.
The suited man, the man Albrecht addressed, smirks.

"Excellent. The Lazarus shall soon be ours.
We'll have a mobile base with which to advance upon Ardhanon. Albrecht's Geass has done wonders to help along the cause. As did the fairies, although Vladimir could use...a leash, for one, that maniac. Kale and Adar need to be reined in, but otherwise do well.
Hm. There isn't time to...celebrate my imminent victory. I must get moving."

((FORESHADOWING LIKE MAD))

Harbinger screeches, and several crow flocks mobilize and fly around the forest.

He then stares into the distance.

--------------

Mara returns with a HK419 submachine gun, a Mosin-Nagant rifle, a Thompson, and a FREAKING M249 MACHINEGUN.

"Ready for battle!"

Richard returns with Durandal and his Evoker.

"Let's see if Andras lives up to his name."

((Damn.))

Albrecht sighs.

"I was genuinely interested in negotiating.

If I was only here to trick you, I would have contacted you through a computer screen and Geassed you.

As it is, you deny our conditions, so we must take....drastic action.

See you soon."

Richard just stands there, mulling over the potential reprecussions.

Mara stands there.

"General, shall I prepare for battle?"

"Yet she is exactly like we are.

What is the difference, between a bloodthirsty ghost and a bloodthirsty human?"

"Your boss can take it up with mine. I am only following orders, after all."
