Hah!"[/color] The disdain in Von Mackstein's artificial tone was palatable. The very idea of caring about the approval of any liege that wasn't the Kaiser himself was so preposterous that his algorithms could barely produce the computations for it. Which left the group with two options: either this 'emperor' themselves were some petty pretender or Gutou was hallucinating from the likely radiation exposure, considering the creature was pure bones. The construct would approach [b]Francis[/b], covering its own mouth with a gloved hand, as it began whispering to the chef. [color=bc8dbf]"This creature is clearly suffering from radiation poisoning, and it has corroded his mind. I suppose we will have to play the part..."[/color] With that said, the mechanical commander turned to Gutou once more. [color=bc8dbf]"Herr Storm here has a good point. By beating this... 'challenge' you speak of, wouldn't our group prove that they were the ones selected for it?"[/color] The Order-Keeper asked the creature, one finger tapping against Francis' cooking pot.
