The security system on the ACROSS base has now been disabled, and my subordinate is brewing the tea as we speak. Please proceed inside for civil conversation and the consumption of refreshments.

-- a base?

[gawking at everything k]

[ilpacock]

Mind that you do not lose your way while inside. Even without the security system, the underground can be perilous if one happens to lose his way.

[badgrbadgrbadgr]

I'll...I'll be very careful.

[ilpacock]

Quite prudent of you. Slice of pie?

[allyourgenes]

... Impressive set-up you have here.

[ilpacock]

Thank you. I made the most of the preexisting facilities.

[allyourgenes]

Just how much of this is the original structure?

[ilpacock]

Most of the structure remains unchanged; however, the equipment has been completely replaced to better suit my needs.

[verybadfeelings]

[pointing at some buttons or a laser or something, I dunno] What do those do?

[ilpacock]

Do. Not. Touch. Those.

[verybadfeelings]

Fine!

[ilpacock]

Sit down. Partake of a crumpet. But the equipment is off-limits.

*don't mind me, I'm with the lawyers*

ACROSS? You must be Il Palazzo then.

[ilpacock]

That is correct. And you would be...?

[betterthangeico]

I am Meryl Stryfe.

I represent the Bernardelli Insurance Society. I'd like a word with you about...Excel and Hyatt, I believe?

[ilpacock]

...

I suppose I must ask what they have done.

[attorneyatlol]

Very kind of you.

[ilpacock]

Simply extending basic courtesy. I do hope your arrival has not been terribly eventful thus far.

[attorneyatlol]

Nothing to speak of, other than seeing ... certain malfunctions involving the computers firsthand.

[betterthangeico]

Malfunctions, Mr. Edgeworth?
