"Now look here-!" [Kato seems affronted at the implication, but he interrupts himself. Mostly because the lighting's changed. Kagura has gone cold, darkening the room. All the fire and lightning vanished in an instant as Hoffmann's implication falls on her and she finally puts things together. If one looks closely, you could even see the "ding" lightbulb as the whole thing suddenly makes sense]
...that's why. Of course. How did I not see it before? [Because you were busy raging to high shit, Kagura] "What in God's name are you talking about?" You're here as a sacrifice, Kato. That's why they sent you here instead fo someone competent. "By all means, insult my competence all you want, Kagura. I wasn't the one that got turned into a PRAYER, here" Look, Admiral Yagami wanted me to kill you. Kill you and punch around your little posse. That's why you're here. Because I have wanted to see your head burst for years. [The voices recover the venom for a moment there] [Kato rolls his eyes]"Please. First that little show, and now empty threats. At least now I'm sure you're still Kagura. I had my doubts. If you'd actually attacked these men would have sealed you. Do you think you could take on five of our best?" Yes. Yes I could. And ten, too. You have no idea what you're dealing with, Kato. None of you do. But the thing is, those are not "our best". All five of those people they assigned to you are newbies, Kato. Executor Lee there got his Mistletoe two weeks before I took down the Cardinal Shaft and has never seen actual PRAYER combat - have you, Lee? [The Executor addressed nods uncertainly. Things are starting to dawn into everyone]
[Kagura sounds cold enough to freeze water as she adds] You were sent here to die by a specific someone. And you can thank Commander Huffmann here that things did not go according to plan. I suggest you do so.
