first strike.

[ There's a brief fumbling of the feed before a dark-haired, dark-eyed, dark-skinned face comes into view, countenance stoic and lips pursed thin. When he speaks, his tone is low, stern, and straight to the point, almost cuttingly so. It seems this person doesn't have much patience for beating around the bush. ]

This message is intended for members of the Initiative. I am currently seeking information regarding an organization known as "Celestial Being". If any of you have details regarding their current whereabouts, please contact me immediately.

...in addition, if you've happened to see [ hesitating ] sparkles of some kind in the sky, or anything else out of the ordinary, let me know. Thank you.

[ Yeah, that totally wasn't conspicuous at all. Going to be shutting that feed down now and definitely not muttering tersely in the process. ]

[Vague enough, but the answer has Lelouch just about convinced that the machine Setsuna is looking for is essentially a Knightmare Frame. That simplifies things, at least.]

Very well. I'll contact you if I see anything like that.

Thank you.

[ Another anxious pause, and then... ]

Your name. What is it?

Lelouch Lamperouge. And yours?

Who I am doesn't matter.

[ Yes, he does always speak so dramatically. Why do you ask? ]

My identity is tied to that machine. We are one in the same.

Lelouch Lamperouge, if you can find me that machine—my machine—then I will show you a miracle, without question. A miracle that will reach to all corners of this shattered world.

As its pilot, that is my responsibility. To raise a sword for those who cannot.

[Even though it isn't visible, Lelouch is giving his netbook a highly skeptical stare right about now, words apparently beyond him. Miracles were all very well and good (it's not like he hadn't made a few himself), but combined with the rest of the miniature speech, it's a little...

Eventually, he breathes a minute sigh and shakes his head. It isn't his place to judge, especially in this sort of place.]

Understood. I'll be in touch.

[ Dealing with Setsuna can be pretty much summed up by a little... yeah. Be grateful that all you got was a miniature speech, Lelouch. ]

I appreciate it.

...it's Setsuna.

[And be happy that he didn't feel compelled to give one in return. As for that mumble...]

Setsuna, then. Until next time.

[ ...huh? It looks like the feed has already been cut, Lelouch. Maybe someone's just shy? Or a little nuts. Or both. You reel in all the winners, don't you?

At least this one isn't a dragon. Probably. ]

[Saves him the trouble, then, because he'd been about to cut the feed himself. Oh well. Life goes on.]
