My...double...kidnapped Athena Cykes. I had to destroy it, along with Hiro Hamada's Baymax robot.

[She was busy...]

I wasn't harmed though. Just a few scrapes.

[unionjackoff]

[oh my gosh] A robot kidnapped me, as well. [flat stare] It was quite the experience.

[faithfulflame]

What? When?!

[She missed this!!!!]

[unionjackoff]

Last week? It was back when they first started going mad. Chibi's robot decided that I should be its lover and used his powers to capture me.

[faithfulflame]

Oh. That...sounds exactly like what mine did to Athena. Only...I think it just wanted friends. But it used my powers to obscure it's location.

[unionjackoff]

How were they able to copy abilities like that? Did you use your powers in front of it?

[faithfulflame]

Instinctively, I guess. I didn't have a cause to use any powers in front of it, no. And it was doing things that I've only done once, at home.

[unionjackoff]

[that is... frightening! incredibly scary! England looks concerned, dipping his head for a moment in thought] They must have had access to our code. I don't know how else they would have copied abilities we didn't use.

[faithfulflame]

Of course they did. CERES sent them, after all.

[And that was troubling enough...]

[unionjackoff]

[see? Rei is sensible. she gets where he's coming from] What made you decide to turn yours on?

[faithfulflame]

A lapse in judgement during a time of grief.

[Rei knows rationally what she did was stupid, but at the time she hadn't been thinking clearly.]

What about you?

[unionjackoff]

[a time of grief, huh?] I actually gave mine to Chibi, so that he could take it apart. My flat was robot-free.

[faithfulflame]

[The missing partner had left a big hole in her heart. It's not much better now, the robots just helped duct tape it all together with anger.]

Lucky. I had two in mine. They're both gone though, after they went berserk.

[unionjackoff]

I would hope so. Well, I am just glad you are all right. [hm. he briefly entertains the idea of asking her what she thinks about robots, but then decides against it] What are your thoughts on the, uhm. The message that appeared later?

[faithfulflame]

I think all the options presented are bad. I'm more interested in forging our own path. What of you?

[unionjackoff]

I think we're on the same page in that regard. There is no way I will follow CERES, or the Flamines. There must be other ways to get back home. It's just a matter of finding them.

[faithfulflame]

And there can be no working with the natives, either.

[unionjackoff]

Mmn, probably not. It seems like they are the least likely to care about our plight. [hm, so frustrating]

[faithfulflame]

Considering what they want from us, yes, this is true. But really, this isn't appropriate talk for the time being is it?

[Where they can be listened in on...]

Are you feeling up to tea?

[unionjackoff]

[ah, right. of course. they are always being monitored. England clears his throat, looking off to the side for a moment, before focusing on Rei] I'm a bit. Under the weather today. But perhaps this weekend?

[faithfulflame]

This weekend then. That's just fine. Unless there's something else I can do for you.

[unionjackoff]

Ah, n-no! There was nothing I needed. I just wanted to know how you were.

[faithfulflame]

Alright, alright. I'll see you Saturday then.

[unionjackoff]

[he manages a smile at her, even though he's feeling ill] Saturday it is. See you then.
