1 nq230703_msg0001 fe1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Hmph. I knew the Castle must have had
something to do with why you called us
over here.
2 nq230703_msg0002 ve1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 True, but also, I need to avoid exposing
embarrassing slip-ups in public.
3 nq230703_msg0003 2 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Slip-ups?
4 nq230703_msg0004 ve1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 A few days ago, a section of the Guard
started an armed uprising, and holed
themselves up in the Castle.
5 nq230703_msg0005 1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 A-armed uprising...? Wh-what?
6 nq230703_msg0006 ve1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Yes. They've taken over a section of the
Castle, but they haven't got any further
since then. It's a stalemate situation.
7 nq230703_msg0007 me1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 A takeover! Now you have my attention!
8 nq230703_msg0008 1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 I'm just surprised that a rebel element
could even arise within the Guard.
9 nq230703_msg0009 ve1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 You say that, but their fierce loyalty to the
Queen is exactly why many of the Guard
can't accept that they were loyal to a fake.
10 nq230703_msg0010 ve1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 There are four sergeants at the vanguard
of this rebel movement to seize the Castle.
11 nq230703_msg0011 ve1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 They've proclaimed themselves as the
Queen's "Four Divine Wings", and have
made two demands of me.
12 nq230703_msg0012 4 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 The "Four Divine Wings"...
A haughty, high-handed name
if there ever was one.
13 nq230703_msg0013 5 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 What are they demanding, then?
14 nq230703_msg0014 ve1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 To transfer command of the Guard to
them...and to hand over the Ouroboros.
15 nq230703_msg0015 2 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Us?
16 nq230703_msg0016 ve1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 "This upheaval of Aionios lies solely at the
hands of those treacherous Ouroboros. It is
the Queen's wish to see them purged."
17 nq230703_msg0017 ve1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 This was the declaration of one of the
sergeants. Naturally, I have zero intention
of yielding to either one of their demands.
18 nq230703_msg0018 fe1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Hmph... I saw this coming.
19 nq230703_msg0019 fe1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 If we aren't going to give them what
they want, then we'll have to bring
those rapscallions to heel, won't we?
20 nq230703_msg0020 fe1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 I get why you brought us in for this
job now... Seeing as we're no longer
part of the Guard and all.
21 nq230703_msg0021 fe1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 If the current Guard were to fight their own
fellows, the internal division it would cause
could be catastrophic for the organization.
22 nq230703_msg0022 ve1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 ...Yeah, you read that right.
23 nq230703_msg0023 ve1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 I came to the conclusion that only you
guys, outsiders with inside knowledge,
could do this.
24 nq230703_msg0024 fe1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Heh. Still, making us fight our old
comrades... Who knew you could
be so unscrupulous?
25 nq230703_msg0025 fe1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 But I've no objection!
I shall gladly accept this job.
26 nq230703_msg0026 me1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 We just love ourselves a bit of dirty work!
Nothing like writing off any craziness we
get up to as an "accident"!
27 nq230703_msg0027 le1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 I'm raring to give those holier-than-thou
pretenders the wake-up call of their lives!
28 nq230703_msg0028 1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Hey, wait a moment! Maybe you could
let us help you out with this job?
29 nq230703_msg0029 fe1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Hm?
30 nq230703_msg0030 ve1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 I appreciate the thought, but if you join in,
it means you also take on responsibility
for the mission, you know?
31 nq230703_msg0031 1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Yes, of course. We know that, but it's just...
well, you see...
32 nq230703_msg0032 3 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 If you won't spit it out, I will, Noah. We're
worried about what'll happen if we aren't
there to keep those nutters in check.
33 nq230703_msg0033 le1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Hahaha, you're worrying yourselves over
nothing. You won't get most things done
if you don't pull out all the stops.
34 nq230703_msg0034 ke1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Not much difference between "bringing them
to heel" and just killing them all, really.
Hehe... They won't stand a chance.
35 nq230703_msg0035 ve1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 ...I see your point. Accompany them, and
make sure to keep them in line, OK?
36 nq230703_msg0036 1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Of course. We'll make sure they
don't raise too much trouble.
37 nq230703_msg0037 4 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Just to be sure, our mission is to suppress
the rebel forces, and make sure their
leaders come back alive, not dead, right?
38 nq230703_msg0038 ve1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Yeah, that's the gist of it. I know it's odd
to say now that I've dragged you guys into
this, but I owe you one... I really do.
39 nq230703_msg0039 fe1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 If we're done briefing here, we will sortie
at once.
40 nq230703_msg0040 5 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Any ideas on how we're gonna find these
"Four Divine Wings"? It's not like we even
know where they're holed up in the Castle.
41 nq230703_msg0041 fe1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Our enemies are the ones
we meet in battle.
42 nq230703_msg0042 fe1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 We need only scour the battlefield
clean to find the scum we're after.
