Kissu — Roleplayer Guild

Ace too turned her head towards the direction of the explosion, smoke billowing from somewhere behind the mountains as Duncan's words were confirmed to be true. SeeD really wasted no time, huh? "It's unfortunate, I admit." Ace agreed with a slight shrug, turning back to meet him with an unfazed expression. "But still...'a bad day for a Galbadian soldier'? A bold claim. And utterly, utterly wrong."

She tapped her nose with a secretive smile, implying that not all was as it seemed, before getting up to her feet with a sense of purpose. "Fett, get the kit. As for you, Duncan Lerwick, I want you to sit tight and enjoy the show...whilst you still have the means to enjoy anything."

She walked over to the generator, her eyes raking over her work one more time just to make sure she didn't miss anything. The boosters were working, the circuits replaced and connected to the transformers...everything appeared in order. Ace took a long, deep breath as she gripped the lever, preparing herself for the worst before switching on the power, her heart praying to all the deities in the world that this would work.

The sound of crackling electricity was the first thing Asa noticed, her eyebrows disappearing under her fringe in surprise just before the floor began to tremble violently beneath their feet, whirring and zapping and screeching filling their heads like a chaotic cacophony.

"Idon'tlikethisIdon'tlikethis" Fett's panicked mumbling could barely be heard over the noise as he cradled himself to the wall, a startled yelp escaping him as the summit of the tower slid open and a tall, cylinder-shaped object erected from the centre.

Everything became still for a moment, Ace's breath catching in her throat as she watched the spectacle unfold. Was...was that it?

Before she could even begin to feel disappointment, the cylinder split open, metal plates sliding out and connecting to form a dish, and a large spined antenna protuded outward towards the vanilla sky. Static could be felt crackling in the air as the antennae started to glow with energy, a bright beam illuminating the skies above and dazzling their eyes for only a moment.

And then...it was quiet.

"Fett." She called over to the quaking soldier, the male in question scrambling clumsily to his feet. "Contact HQ. Inform them that the Communication Tower is in operation."

"Sir!"

"Also inform them that we have a SeeD captive. There will be undoubtedly more on their way, so prepare for a Code Red if necessary."

"Yessir!" Fett gave her a quick salute and a smile. "Congratulations, Lieutenant. Drinks on me tonight, sir."

Ace scoffed at his offer. "Worry about that later. Right now...I thought I asked you to-?"

"Oh, the kit!" Fett fetched a leather case from their supplies and placed it between Ace and Duncan. "All equipment sterilized and accounted for, sir."

"Good." In truth, Asa wasn't much fond of torture, unlike most of her Galbadian comrades. She found it brutal and undignified, and the carnal enjoyment some of her superiors reaped from it was a little unsettling.

However, this man had slaughtered her fellow soldiers without remorse, even allowing one of them to suffer a long, agonizing death from Bug Bite venom. For that...he would truly suffer.

Besides, roughing him up a little would send a firm message to his rescuers, when they came. The Galbadian Army was not to be messed with.

"So let's get better acquainted, Duncan," Ace gave him a faux polite smile, snapping open the suitcase and picking out what appeared to be a mouth clamp and some surgical forceps. Should she go for the teeth first? That would cause some problems with the interrogation... "You know what? I'll let you break the ice first. Tell me which body part you like least."
