Machinations.

Ah, this is so delightful. I barely need to do anything anymore... a few commands, and the entire world dances to my tune...

My lord, I have brough the girl with me. *shoves her to the ground in front of him*

... She doesn't seem to be of a very strong resolve.

Wonderful. Her clone was of very little use to mine in the long run, though it did take a remarkable amount of time to shape properly. Though you, the real Martel, are far better for my uses.

Thank you, Yuan. I trust you shall continue to perform this well in the future.

Of course, sir. I would never dream of disappointing you. You have given me - everything.

*looks up at him reverently*

While I do appreciate that comment, do not think that I am so blind to accept your praise mindlessly. I am aware of your intrigues and I am aware that you have the power to turn on me. I am prepared for such an occasion, though, and your survival continues as long as a trangression does not.

You do indeed have a wonderful mind, Lloyd. I shall set to work altering a number of Katz clones immediately. You'll have your army in short order.

And should you continue to serve me well, you may receive many more gifts. After all, I've always preferred working from behind the scenes... but someone will have to rule what I make of this world when I am finished. If you understand my train of thought.

If you will excuse me, I have clones to alter.
