As far as I'm concerned, we haven't failed yet."[/color] Wonder Red had doubts, such as how their encounter may have marked them as a larger threat to the Consuls and could bring harsher retaliation than they've already faced, but he didn't want to dwell on them or put them into the team's heads. [color=F92a2a]"Plus we didn't leave empty handed."[/color] He raised a hand to Mewtwo. [color=F92a2a]"We saved those two civilians from Consul L's collection. Albedo,"[/color] he addressed the geomancer, [color=F92a2a]"you're an alchemist, correct? Do you think you'd be able to bring them out of their frozen state?"[/color] All this time Wonder Red was thinking 'if only'. If only the Virgin Victory was there with them to provide support. If only Professor Shirogane were here to concoct a solution to Consul N's Latency. But... no, it would be selfish of him to wish Commander Nelson and the VV were with them. They were of much more use to Alcamoth, especially after its destruction. [color=F92a2a]"I've heard some information about Linkle,"[/color] Red commented on the new goal they had. [color=F92a2a]"Though I wasn't fully debriefed on her situation. If you think she'd be open to talking with us, it's worth a try."[/color] He straightened his gauntlets, checking them over for damage, then going over the rest of his suit. The other downside to not having his usual support was the upkeep of the CENTINEL suit. For now it held, but scratches and cuts exposed its pulsing neon circuitry. It was engineered to maintain power in spite of heavy damage, though Red made a mental note to be more cautious in the future. [color=F92a2a]"We may need an advantage if we have to fight her,"[/color] Wonder Red noted, [color=F92a2a]"as much as I hope it doesn't come to that. She seems exceptionally powerful."[/color][hr][center][color=F92a2a]323 Words +1 EXP[/color][/center]
