Quick question for you, Major.

[The post is not locked, because clearly, he doesn't anticipate the conversation being sensitive enough to warrant information security.

Also, he intends on making a point for anyone who might be paying undue attention to him, and Precursors know if any of them can hack, even if he doesn't use Frenzy's codec.]

The cur in question locked information from you. He is trying to rally others against you.

[Insert eyeroll here.]

So, he is that stupid.

Have his pathetic pleas generated any interest?

[defiant_rage]

Yes. Give me a moment to access the feeds.

... A young girl claims she will try to talk to you, to "dissuade" you I assume.
The mech, Ironhide, is going to protect two "children", whose designations I have surmised to be Xanth and Kairi.

[Ripa growls here. As a fellow soldier, he kind of appreciates Ironhide.]

Your target also conversed with a woman whose feeds I could not break into. She is very skilled with electronics. Based on what the target said in reply to her, I assume she has agreed to shadow the "children".
Another man has agreed to fight you until you kill him, if just to delay you. Pointless. He is throwing away his life for the weak and undeserving.

... Shall I go on?

[Erol laughs.]

Ooh, this is turning out to be QUITE a little party.  I ought to have done this sooner.

[The young girl, could be Lily.  He knows how to handle her.  And if it isn't Lily, there's no "handling" to consider at all, just more potential fun.

The mech, Erol thinks he's seen around.  This "Ironhide" is out of his league unless he engages in some serious prep.  On the plus side, unless it has some high-tech camoflage, the oversized machine will be easy to avoid.

The woman may be Kusanagi.  Proceed with caution, but Erol thinks it's nothing he can't work around if he handles it right.

The victim of chivalry he can't ID, but they sound like a good time.]

The third - the woman - could make things very interesting indeed, if they are who I think.  Major Kusanagi is no trivial opponent.

[You want someone to fight, Ripa?  Happy birthday.]

By all means, continue.  Let it never be said I turned down good intel, particularly if my target isn't bright enough to keep it from my allies.

[And what fabulous allies he has

[Jinx will stalk just in case someone happens not to lock something.]

[xmaliciouslyx]

[Does Azula count in the ones paying Erol undue attention? She's really just a creeper.]

Why if it isn't the Commander.

[psychoticracer]

[Erol finds that appealing.]

Why if it isn't the Princess~

[xmaliciouslyx]

You sound like a busy man.

[psychoticracer]

Well you know, once you find your niche, this boat isn't all that bad.

[100% lock to Azula]

If you're interested in some fun, swing by Deck 01 tonight. An idiot from my world thinks he can save his own hide by rallying together a bunch of would-be do-gooders.

Should be an amusing show. Might even turn into "playtime."

[Hey, Azula! Free targets!]

[electroniccrane]

Yes?

[psychoticracer]

Your man Batou. He's engaged in a bit of volunteer work against those who injure "children."

So. What's the age of majority where you two come from?

[Erol's heard Xanth on the comms and is pretty damn sure he's way past puberty. Kairi, maybe still counts. He'd rather know before he strikes, so he makes it worth it.

Also, defining 'free game' in 3... 2...]

[electroniccrane]

[Erol's got it a bit garbled--Kusanagi's the one with a driving urge to protect children. Batou has a driving urge to protect her. But Kusanagi doesn't care how badly Erol screws things up as long as it doesn't inconvenience her much.]

I think I prefer to keep your on your toes, Commander.

[psychoticracer]

[Well Batou's the only one SAYING anything about it... Erol did presume, though, that Kusanagi ultimately holds Batou's leash. So whatever she expressed in terms of rules, Batou would have to follow.

Just figures she would be difficult about it.]

So I should just work my way on down, then. Find an 18-year-old, then 17, 16, etcetera?

[He... might be kidding? It's deadpan enough for a joke.]
