[He won't speak yet until he sees who else offers. And if Ping wants to help.]

[Runs the post through his mind several times before replying, bewildered.]

We're all that's left?

After an extensive search, that was the conclusion we reached.

This is all the Witches doing? Who the hell has that kind of power-

Christ. If they come after us, that's it, isn't it?

The same group that could easily have eradicated the city, should they have known that the barrier was gone and we were all that was left.

[So there's your answer, Matt.]

[those lattices go up high. He must be large indeed, but Ping's tone is cool]

How large, exactly? Will our weapons be effective simply by virtue of being empowered by resonance, or...?

To give a comparison, he and the Shibusen building are roughly the same size.

Yes. Though simple attacks will have some effect on him, meisters and weapons with resonance would have more attack power.

...Interesting.

Could you lay out all information you have on him? Any particular weaknesses, anything else we should be wary of?

Everything we've gathered will be posted in detail soon, so that everyone will know exactly what we're dealing with. [Cranking the screw--] And so we won't have to repeat ourselves.

[To say that he looks irritated and impatient would be like the understatement of the year. He's also a bit scuffed up, though nothing too terrible.]

You facilitated the growth of a fucking murderer so that you can use him to rebuild your goddamn barrier?

If we'd released the fact that Shibusen was defenseless - you would have had a lot more than one murderer to deal with.

It was one or multiple hundreds. That was what it came down to, and we can't take back our choice.

Tch. You make it sound like those were your only options.

You did not merely keep quiet on your lack of defenses. You claimed to be organizing opposition against him. You claimed to want him dead, even as you restricted information to try and keep people cowering in fear. You claimed to be sending organized teams to try to defeat him.

And your real objective was to watch him grow.

You expect that now anyone should trust your goddamn orders or your fucking plan for his "defeat"?

You have shown nothing but incompetence or outright deception. Why should I take it on your word that these witches of yours are a greater threat? The only wrongdoing I have seen in this place is that wrought or aggravated by Shibusen.

[He looks quite alert and serious, his eyes appearing quite determined though he may seem a bit tired and worn.]

I'm not sure how comforting all of this belated admitance is exactly... [Frowning deeply.] But given the circumstances and the danger levels we have little choice... People have already been dying, it has to stop.

I'm unpartnered, but I am experienced with war, as are the other exorcists from our world. While this is not ideal, I'm sure we will at least temporarily lend whatever strength we can to defeating this murderer.

With Adachi at the forefront, the Witches have been made scarce. If word had gotten out about our situation, the danger levels would have risen exponentially.

[He looks at Allen over the feed for a moment, before he cranks the screw slowly.]

It would be best if you could find yourself a weapon, over the next few days. Experience can only get you so far, otherwise.

[His eyes narrow a little at this.] While I do not want to come across as rude, I have to say that answer for keeping us in the dark is quite unsatisfactory. We have been brought here--intentionally or otherwise--to assist in this war. We are being denied information in such a manner than by the time you bring it to our attention we have all but no choice to fight for and with you. It goes beyond a simple matter of data protection--which, I will point out has its own set of worrying implications toward us as ahem guests--and instead moves troubling close to manipulation.

[He could sure as hell say more, but for now he instead lofts an eyebrow at the turning of the screw, blinking once before the surprise ebbs away.]

You must be Professor Stein. I've heard a fair bit about you, sir. A pleasure to finally speak with you, I am sure.
