@akatsuki [video]; DATED TO MAY 19

[lionize]

[It's a very quick image of Cagalli standing in front of a random wall at the Kyoto base, looking solemn yet still put together. No crash outs here. She's letting someone else do that.]

As of now, Yzak's name can be added to the list of confirmed rift related disappearances. This matches up with Raidou's list, but please keep an eye on each other anyway. Taking dumb chances now is the last thing we need.

Where are we on finding an exact location in Iraq?

As an important aside, his mobile suit is also missing. Being tied to our machines like this is new, it's not something we dealt with back home.

still voice

[lionize]

Mm, pretty sure.

voice.

[misclassed]

Hm. [ The sound of crackling flame in the background. It carries on long enough that it seems like Muramasa has nothing else to say. ]

... How strong is he, without his armor?

[lionize]

Way stronger than a normal human. He's a coordinator, genetically modified to smarter, stronger, faster, etc. But there are no powers like plenty of people here seem to have.

The fact that the Duel is missing as well has me concerned for exactly those reasons. There's no other need for it to vanish aside from combat.

[misclassed]

Then you're already guessing what I'm worried about. It probably probably would be a good idea to start coming up with plans on how to... handle him and the other six before we get to Iraq.

[ ...... He is, trying to be delicate. ]

Dunno if or how Itadori's going to change things, but seven's a bad number of combatants when you've got Servants in the mix.

[lionize]

[There's a long silence on her end, followed by an eventual exhale. Cagalli isn't as tech smart or science oriented as the rest of the group from her world, but she knows how to prepare and think ahead, able to adapt with the state of things.

Which is to say, she knows exactly what Muramasa means and what that entails, worst case scenario.]

Disabling his mobile suit is the easiest, but not the most effective method. What's really important is taking control away from the pilot this time.

[The nuclear power source isn't a secret, but saying that aloud now would make this feel a whole lot worse.]

Tell me.

[misclassed]

So we just gotta cut him out from the seat? Should be doable.

[ He knows, logically, that he's weaker than he was originally when summoned, but sometimes you have to be sure of being able to do something the way you want to in order to make it happen. ]

The details depend on the ritual, but it's more or less a guaranteed fight.

[lionize]

That depends highly on the circumstances. [The phase shift armor is a big one. Also how close Muramasa can get, if the sword would work on the mobile suit at all. If it becomes relevant, she'll pitch it to the others.]

Worst case?

[misclassed]

[ Just throw him. It'll be fine. If the first sword can't do it, the second or the third will be plenty enough. ]

Best case is we walk in on a free-for-all. Worst case is a united front.

[lionize]

Both ends of the spectrum royally suck.

[misclassed]

No kidding. Would love to be completely wrong about it, frankly.
