[Toeing the alien a bit, unceremoniously-- he's not had the luxury of a comatose body in a while!]

...So. That was a largely fruitless little chat we had with this fellow, wasn't it.

I think he was still trying to promote his book even as I fired on him.

One would think that the presence of weapons would incline the other towards a more favorable course of action.

[Rolls eyes.]

That said, all we know is that the disappearances of the former judges were premeditated. But that much was obvious.

...Now, what to do with the body.

It's rather massive. We'll need to employ a vehicle of some sort. I'd call for a Mobile Suit but that would attract far too much attention.

[she spoke as if hiding bodies was the norm which it probably had been considering her previous tenure as an assassin]

Dragging would be difficult. Isn't there construction going on nearby? I wonder if they have a fork lift...

Mobile...Suit.

[TECHNOLOGY, UNE. He needs explanations regarding that, but he's not gonna ask-- there's a body to attend to, and technicalities can wait.]

...Are you suggesting that we infiltrate and make off with some sort of construction device, in order to hide a comatose body?

I say.

This almost makes us look like the villains.

It's the most logical course of action I can think of. Any other suggestions? Villainy was something I used to excel at. Good to know how a foe thinks when one is put in a difficult situation. After all, the solution may not lie within one's personal conventions.

Ah. It seems we'll make a detective of you yet, my dear.

[He kneels near the body, his expression turning a bit more serious as he looks the body up and down.]

Convention is the biggest obstacle to innovation. One must never restrict their methods to the conventional.

Back home, I was hired for that very reason. A defiance of convention.

[smirks]

Though I do think they regretted it at certain points.

So our method...

Do you have any ideas that would involve a subtler course of action than hijacking and hotwiring a forklift?

Subtle is so boring, don't you think?

[So he says, though he knows it's a stupid idea.]

But in any case, I'm ill-equipped to handle such machinery, and I'm sure we'd both find ourselves on the wanted list, if we were to do something of that scale. I wonder if the prisons here are as unceremonious as the ones in Scotland Yard.

[A shrug.]

In any case, one of us should stay here while the other finds something suitable.

[draws her gun]

I'll keep watch.

[and I'm assuming this is where we thread-hop to where Watson shows up; yay linking? c:]
