"There have been... Extenuating circumstances surrounding myself for the last few decades, but I assure you I'm older," Aito replied plainly, "I knew Yamate when you were likely still a child, I'll leave it at that. And if you're looking for Korian you're correct, he's not here. Neither is anyone else from command, so I've taken it upon myself to handle you." Did this man earnestly believe he could come here as an enemy and expect to negotiate the terms of his detainment and questioning? He was in essence a prisoner the moment he stepped onto Uuonoe, and until they could verify otherwise he would be treated as such. "At any rate Korian doesn't seem to understand the true situation we're in, nor do I imagine he'll hear it from you anyways. So for the time being you answer to me, and I'll relay anything pertinent to him, understood?" 

All things considered Takeshi really didn't have any wounds that demanded attention. Some abrasions from being knocked around, the cuts from being attacked by Shu; in all he could move and everything just fine, he didn't think he needed the help. More or less ignoring the medics as they patched him up, soon as they were through he waved them away, scowling when one tried to further help by offering to check his abrasions and scrapes. "I said I'm fine! Go make sure the others are okay!" he snapped again, watching the pair slink off pretty quick after that. By now everyone was being taken off to get checked on, with Shu and T'charrl being the two that worried him the most. T'charrl was only so injured because he couldn't defeat Krom on his own, and Shu was out because he'd been allowed to change and couldn't be stopped. In both cases he was too weak to help, too weak to know how to protect them and to save them from unnecessary danger. Damn it all, if he was only stronger, he should be able to beat at least Krom by now, so why couldn't he?

Aito, along with a handful of rebel soldiers stationed on Uuonoe, had led Krom off to the base in the center of the city. While what Krom had said was true, he was not a rebel himself, the men and women stationed there had allowed the doctor to precede over the interrogation given his knowledge of what was going on. With only the two Saiyans in the room now, Aito felt he was perfectly capable of getting everything they needed to from the Elite, and perhaps giving him a little insight into what was going on as well. "So let's start with getting this out of the way... We both know the truth behind this war, and why the Saiyans are doing what they're doing. I still believe the methodology to be insane, but up until now I haven't been able to stop it. I also have no intention on aiding the rebels in the war, as fighting now is only going to make things worse later. Given we've both an understanding of the bigger picture here, I'm curious... Why hasn't Yamate simply come out and revealed the truth yet? What is it he's trying to do by deceiving everyone?"

Takeshi had to talk to Viral about what Krom said, he just didn't know how to bring it up. It was insane to think that Viral had willingly gone to the Saiyans, especially since the guy seemed so resentful for everything that had happened. Krom just had to be messing with his head, yet he had the tiniest question on the matter and it needed answering. Finding the place that the Beastman was staying at was a bit tricky, but with some asking around he managed to locate the guy. After checking in through the rebels who had been posted outside he went right on in, surprised to find only Viral in the room; either he'd been getting better or Vegeta was out of the room, either way it was a bit surprising to find him by himself. Stepping into the room he took a curious look around, noticing how few machines and tools there were about, like they were hardly using anything on him. "Nice pad... Weird you have so many plants though..." Takeshi joked lightly, running a hand along one of the broad leaves idly, "Miss us?"
