- 76 [Action]

[It's early in the morning on the 9th of October and Yuan is feeling restless. Who can blame him, really? Knowing you're about to be kidnapped by Malnosso droids doesn't make it any more fun. He's gotten his barcode upgrade, so there's not much else he can do to prepare. There's no telling when the droids will appear and there's not much point in sitting around all day waiting for them to show. Which is why he's decided to go about his business as usual.

Easier said than done. Up until noon, anyone is free to catch Yuan wandering around the village. He doesn't actually have a destination in mind; He's walking for the sake of walking. Eventually, he'll go inside the house and await his fate there. Really though, this is like waiting for your own surprise party.]

No...they seem to have it under control.

[What with being small and scrawny, and all of his efforts in the past have gone awry, he's just stopped caring.]

I should hope so. The results won't be pretty if this goes wrong.

[In fact, after his little talk with Catherine, he's convinced that things won't end well either way.]

Well, at the very least, the rest of us will be here, ready for any sort of retaliation.

[Yeah, he would share the sentiment that it will not end well...]

That's true. Sending all the fighters out would be incredibly foolish.

Although it would just as futile in here if they send their droids after us.

With the power cap in place, I doubt much can be done to fend them off, so let's hope it doesn't come to that.

Yes, all we can do is hope.

[And what good does that do?]

Children and other non-combatants might be better off in hiding, though I'm not sure if there's any place safe from the droids.

[This is really something the defense groups should be worrying about. People involved in the mission itself shouldn't be wasting too much time on it.]

Indeed. Our barcodes allow them to track us down like dogs tracking down a scent.

[Or better than that, even.]

And of course Catherine can't do anything to stop it. For someone who's supposed to care about our wellbeing, he's awfully... careless.

He strikes me as an idiot, really. How one like him managed to become the leader of the organization is beyond me.

I doubt he's as much of an idiot as he pretends to be.

Perhaps. He must have some hidden assets if he's managed to make it to the top of the organization.

We'll just have to wait and see for now. He'll show his true colors soon enough.
