A slightly smaller Mess

Max: "Well I have always wanted to see what all the fuss was about. Maybe we could turn it into our personal retreat. A paradise world just for us and our own."

Akira: "I know it's not much of a paradise."

Serah: "That one. There." *She points*

Max: "I've heard it's literally paradise. Won't know until we get there I guess"

Akira: *Shrugs* "I think that little green world we found will do nicely."

Max: "as do I, though we do need to think of a name for it"

G: *Comtinues walking*

Akira: "Now that is a question... you're the educated one. What do you think?"

Max: "Do you think the Imperials would be annoyed by 'Nova Terra'?"

Akira: "Possibly enough to invade it, yeah."

Drone: order of the Steel Faith. Small order, localised to a single world. Current status: unknown.

Serah: "Which world!" *she snaps at it*

Drone: *insert planet name here*
Charles:...how coincidental... we were headed there anyway

Serah: "I have the feeling it wasn't a dream."

Charles: likewise...

"Those sisters are in danger. Vox the astartes. We leave the moment we're able" *its most definitely phrased as a command*

Charles: we already were planning to. Relax Serah. We're going.

Serah: "I will need maps of the convent to plan an assault."

Charles: assault? Serah, relax. We can't just show up and assault an imperial planet. We need to assess the situation first, besides, the whole reason we're going is we're low on manpower and supplies, and are going to resupply there.

"We have a company of astartes. Even a squad would be enough. no one will question them."

Charles: Serah, calm down. For all we know it could be a dream, or a premoniton, hasn't happened yet

"Then we have to take all possible steps to prevent it."

Charles: either way, we won't be planning an assault or anything like that until we find out the situation.

*she stares at him though the eyepieces of her helmet, then turns away.* "I miss operating independently."

Charles: *sighs* Serah.

Serah: "What."

Charles: if something's up, we'll sort it. I promise. We just have to make sure it is first.

Max: "You reckon?"

"Damn inquisition and your protocols. There's no making sure when you've got someone to kill."

Akira: "Its probably blasphemy or something."

Charles:....yes there is. Killing innocent people by mistake is a bad thing.

Max: "Good point, any ideas?"

Serah: "I don't buy this, good inquisitor routine you're playing for Hera. You're rotten to the core like the rest."

Akira: "People do name things after their lovely wife you know."

Max: "Akiras?" (A-Keer-ass)

Charles isn't sure how to respond to that, but it's clear he wasn't expecting it
"...pardon?"

Akira: "I was joking honey, throne that would make me look egotistical."

Serah: "You heard me inquisitor" *hes never heard such venom and bile injected into a single word.*

Max: "More than we already are?"

Charles:...If I was rotten, why didn't I just kill you and your husband when I discovered the daemon in him? Why did I save him, and protect you against laurence?

Akira: "We've not named anything after ourselves yet. The Main Street doesn't count, that's named after our victory... not us directly."

Serah: "Oh because Hera would stay your little pet inquisitor in training if you killed her parents wouldn't she?"

Charles: if I was rotten, why would I care?

Serah: "Pet was a well chosen word."

Charles: *clearly taken aback, he pauses*...then why didn't I just arrange an accident long before looking after you two became a burden?

Max: "We did name the ship after you"

Akira: "A bit. But not like... my name."

Serah: "Hera is a smart girl. She'd know."

Charles: Serah....I'll be blunt. If I wanted to make your daughter my pet, and dispose of you and your husband....I would have done it long ago, and none of you would have been able to stop me.

Serah: "I've heard that phrase from many people. And more than one inquisitor. I can, and will, stop you."

charles just sighs

Serah: "I'll be having words with Hera."

"About?"

"Trusting inquisitors."

Charles: Serah, I'm no stranger to the worst of my order, and their myriad of crimes. Hell, I've come into conflict with them more than once. But I was raised to be different to them. I'm no murderer, I'm no corrupt criminal.

Serah: "You'll have to prove that with actions. Not honeyed words."

Charles: I'll work on it.
