Commanders.

I have a personal project that will be much easier if I have authorization for it.

If you desire the details, I will give them to you, but believe me. You DON'T want the details. Just take my word for that

Comments

[lionheartfather]

... I have to say, I'm undecided on this.

[xtrnlmonologue]

I realize that, Commander.

And as I said, if you want the details, I will give them to you.

But they are not pleasant. They are not nice. They are not morally forgiveable.

And whether I have authorization or not, they WILL be done. I've given Nanami my word.

[lyricalmagical]

...

What are the details, then?

[xtrnlmonologue]

...

You're certain? I'll tell you, but if I tell you, you lose plausible deniability.

Which, I assure you, is something you want to keep here...

[lionheartfather]

We lost that the moment you brought this up, Ivan.

[xtrnlmonologue]

I mean no disrespect, commander, but whatever you're thinking?

Is nowhere close to what I am undertaking.

[lionheartfather]

Out with it then.

[xtrnlmonologue]

... I warned you

[lyricalmagical]

...

That certainly is an unsavory prospect, yes.

...

It does bear in mind, though, we would be ill-advised to not consider the consequences of our own actions... and the necessity to counteract them if need be...

[lionheartfather]

Ivan, stepping away from the moral implications of this... how do you intend to secretly withdraw blood from a man with genius level intellect, and who has athletic combat training?

Not to mention medical training.

[xtrnlmonologue]

I don't intend to secretly do anything. I intend to do it covertly in plain sight.

The medical wing needs to hold a blood drive.

An accident will require a transfusion.

And another accident with the transfusion will necessitate drawing more blood from Touma to test.

Three pints, safely taken, for plausible reasons. You're asking more than you need to know, sir.

[lionheartfather]

... That certainly explains how you plan to outsmart him...

[xtrnlmonologue]

Without admitting to anything criminally, this is not the first time I've done this.

[lyricalmagical]

...

And, of course, this isn't a plan that we're going to necessarily have to put in place, providing things go well... but, to be prepared for it... I can't really deny the logic of that...

...

Hrm.

[xtrnlmonologue]

Yes.

There was a reason that I did not wish to burden you with details.

Please, sign the authorizations and let me do my job, and you can forget that we ever had this conversation.

[lionheartfather]

...

What authorizations, Ivan?

We've asked Nanami to play in darkness for our benefit.

Rest assured, what you may be planning is nothing quite like what Barbamon has prepared. And I'd be lying if I said I never made use of secrets myself.

As far as I'm concerned... you never asked me anything today, Ivan.

I cannot speak for my colleagues, though.
