FIFTY-TWO : but you're moreso...

[ACTION; in and around household]

[Olivier seems a little disgusted! It appears the children are now both drones, and she's having trouble keeping them out of the war room. Tsk. There will be bodies if this keeps up, and you can see it in her eyes as she partakes of morning coffee on the porch like an old lady.]

Question: Why would any ordinary citizen of Mayfield need their own squadrons?

[Filtered]

[wristsniper]

Organization is key in rebellion.

[Filtered]

[puzzlerprince]

Rebellion?

[Interesting.]

Who, might I ask, am I speaking with?

[Filtered]

[wristsniper]

Major General Armstrong.

[Major General---Vaguely, he remembers Ema speaking of the Major General all the way back at the Smiths' House Party. He smirks, turning up the charm.]

A shame our paths hadn't crossed sooner, Major General. I'd heard talk of you before---never had I anticipated that you would be able to put together entire squadrons right under Lucy Smith's nose.

[wristsniper]

It's because I don't care if I get caught.

[Filtered]

[puzzlerprince]

My, my. How bold.

[Filtered]

[wristsniper]

Tell me this: what do we have to lose?

[Filtered]

[puzzlerprince]

If I may answer your question with another question, Major General---what is it that doesn't exist, yet has a name?

[Filtered]

[wristsniper]

Nothing. [Aha.] Don't waste my time with children's games. But you see my point.

[Filtered]

[puzzlerprince]

It would be unwise to take riddles so lightly, madam. But yes. I do, indeed, understand where you're coming from.

You see, I have my own little band of rebels that I've assembled. Perhaps an alliance would be in your best interest.

[Filtered]

[wristsniper]

And it would be completely stupid to waste my time. [Leaves that hanging for JUST a moment...]

An alliance?

[Filtered]

[puzzlerprince]

Indeed. I don't exactly have entire squadrons at my disposal, but I've always been one for quality over quantity.

[Filtered]

[wristsniper]

Fine. Either you join us, or we can exchange information.

[Filtered]

[puzzlerprince]

An exchange of information sounds more than fair for right now. As for joining you, well---we'll see where this road leads us.

Oh, but where are my manners? Allow me to introduce myself. Edward Nigma at your service, Major General.

[wristsniper]

Full disclosure, then, on intelligence. I don't like enigmas or people who play childish games, so we'll see about enything more than that.

Regardless, time will tell. Good to meet you, Mr. Nigma.
