[color=6ecff6]"Failure? You think all of Team A is dead then? Reasonable but I have my own doubts. Why go through the effort of using some sort of disruption, or other magical effect only to fool us into thinking they were dead? I'm not sure if I was clear. Their vitals are frozen but their bodies are not registering death. Their brains are functioning. Unless they've been completely frozen in time, or otherwise had their bodies turned into vegetables I prefer to hope for their survival. As of now they may as well have become Schrodinger's Team. My duty as your commander, and theirs is simple will I hope for your team to come back alive."[/color] Orson said as he tried to explain his own thought process to the group as Archimedes decided to chime in, [color=ec008c]"To explain the director's comment of time freeze there are theoretical possibilities regarding CHALDEAS that could under certain circumstances lead one to loop in time near indefinitely. Experiencing one's death repeatedly, and horrifically is a possibility for example. But this is not a machine failure on my part. At least that is my belief at the moment.[/color]

[color=39b54a]"Then what is our assigned goal? Victory, or otherwise?"[/color] Leon questioned as he deemed to keep himself relatively silent hoping to figure out more of this puzzle through his actions than words. If the Director had something to say of vital importance he'd tell them. [color=00aeef]"The simple goal of this mission is of the following: Recover Team A. If not possible confirm their deaths so we may bury their bodies in the coffins properly. Their consciousness lost to time. Objective B. Is to if possible complete and resolve the singularity of Fuyuki either by killing the source of the mass disappearances, or confirming the cause. It could be a side effect of a creature known as 'All the World's Evil' but such a matter is classified, and I'm afraid other than that I can't tell you more. A certain Matou girl may be the cause."[/color] Orson said as he pushed up his glasses, [color=6ecff6]"Victory at the cost of your lives? Unacceptable unless its a last ditch resort that you would have otherwise not considered. Team C is currently unaware of the matter, and are eating in the mess hall. They're average mages, at best, and their goal if you fail will be a complete erasure of the city. Pruning it, and everything from the timeline using a special device Archimedes devised. However we have reason to believe if used this weapon will harm the foundation of humanity if used improperly. Which is why we shall not deploy it. It is a pruning device that will sever Fuyuki's singularity entirely by brute force. Imagine it like taking a cleaver to an infected leg."[/color] Orson says to all of them bluntly.

[color=ec008c]"Strong heroic spirits though are needed...but I'm afraid rigging the system for summoning the likes of say The King of Conquerors has been ruled out. Scipio Africanus, The Roman Hannibal, and Zhao Yun the Little Dragon were fine warriors. I hope they will be there to assist you but I have a theory...it may be because of their strength they lost."[/color] commented Archimedes. [color=ec008c]"You will receive assistance in the form of Heroic Spirits but it will be up to the summoning system to designate who they are. If they are powerful good, if they are adequate good. This matter may be more worth taking subtly more so than brute force. Pray that Captain Togami, and his allies have at least died heroically, if they have passed on."[/color] Archimedes states rather bluntly.
