It was time, Xerox and Rue waited for the last moment to arrive at the meeting place. Xerox was doing everything in his power to avoid Rachel. He hoped that he could casually talk to her after the meeting, making it seem like a coincidence and hopefully avoid any sort of lecturing. 

[hr]

At the marble table, the meeting was held. Rue, however, had to sit in another room, seems like they wouldn't let "animals" into that room. It seemed that everyone that was with them that had changed genders had changed back. Duncan spoke like he was upper class, almost snobby. It was quite different from his usual demeanor. [i]Probably cause of his father[/i] Xerox thought, deciding against making fun of Duncan's way of speaking. 

Two plans, have a riot and kill Deling in the chaos, or burning Deling and the float. Everyone had been putting in their thoughts, with everyone agreeing with the riot. [color=aqua]"The riot would be most appropriate, less likely to lead back to anyone. Meaning it won't trace back to SeeD."[/color] Xerox put his opinion in. A small quarrel occurred, questioning the usefulness of the newer SeeDs. Both Jericho and Duncan defended the abilities of the newer SeeDs which would include Xerox. 

Duncan proceeded to the next stage to discuss, sabotaging the float. A question was directed to Xerox, [color=aqua]"Hm... infiltrating and then a time-delayed shut down ..."[/color] Xerox closed his eyes putting his hand over the bottom half of his face. The construction of paramagic drives, it was something that Xerox knew quite a bit about, but the problem was, they were quite various. Country vs country, mass-produced vs specially made. Kein spoke, talking about poisoning the device. [color=aqua]"You mean they are biocomputers."[/color] Xerox corrected him. [color=aqua]"If it was a mass-produced version, that would be fine, but it's most likely a special make. It's quite possible it would cure the poison or sound an alarm if it is programmed well-enough."[/color]

[i]Well, it was only recently that any news of the drives could do anything like that. Other ways of shutting it down ... destroying it ... Destroying it would be too obvious. Sabotage ... reprogram? Possible but the time it takes to decode it ... Disconnect it from the rest of the circuit, a bypass. That would probably be best. Paramagic devices require a similar circuitry. It should be possible to create a bypass so it won't trigger any possible alarms if there are any.[/i] Xerox was deeply thinking about the approach, when Rachel mentioned the sewers.

[color=00a651][b]“We could use the sewers...”[/b][/color] Rachel said at the mention of sabotaging the float.[color=00a651][b]”  Aside infiltrating the palace, it should be possible to sabotage the float from below. It's movement speed is rather slow, and what's more it will make some pretty slow turns. Using the sewers it should be possible to come directly from below the float while it's taking a turn on one of the crossroads. We will have to be fast, but that doesn't have the risk from the infiltrating of the palace.”[/b][/color]

[color=aqua]"No. Given the nature of the paramagic drives generating a shield, there is a chance they will shield the generators themselves. In fact it is likely. Infiltration shouldn't be too hard. If I can get access to the security grid, we can bypass the security cameras. Patrols ... I hope we can get through it fine. Taking down any guards to the float should be no problem. The only problem might be the sabotage. If we were to just destroy it, they would find out. Any delayed destruction might be shielded. There's not enough information to know how advanced the paramagic drives used are. Although delayed destruction would be easiest, I might need to go with a delayed bypass system."[/color] Xerox explained the unknowns that were involved.

[color=aqua]"Duncan, is it possible to get the blueprints of the float? If we had them, that could simplify the whole operation."[/color] Xerox looked over to Duncan. It was possible that Xerox was overthinking the whole situation, but it was better to be careful.
