[To say Regalis Filia was pretty damn trashed after the latest engagement with the Zentraedi was an understatement. Indeed it was designed first and foremost to protect its pilot, it didn't mean the beating wasn't straining in itself. Peola was sitting on the deck of the Macross with a number of bandages on her, kicking her feet lazily as she looked out to sea. Ever so often she'd glance at her bandages in annoyance and tug at them a little.]

For an annoying big talking Pacifist, that jerk Kaifun knows how to throw a person.

[She gives you a wry smile and waves.]

Do you think we did good enough out there?

[Not too far from the Macross and the Unity Group in town, there was a woman making something of a commotion. She was a tall, brutal looking specimen, numerous scars on her body and face. There was also a distinct air of smugness and a somewhat vicious grin on her face.]



You.

[Her hand snaps out towards you.]

I'm looking for a brat named Peola. I felt and saw her around here... so where is she?

[As she lowers her hand her fingers curl into a fist as bones pop.]

I'm not one for asking twice so you better cough it up.

... I have no idea... I mean she's my mother!

[Peola almost yells the words.]

What am I supposed to do when it turns out she crippled my brother, threatened to hurt people around here who I happen to work with AND who also happen to be my friends AND it turns out she might be the sun damned reason my father is trying to get me married off?!

No matter what she does she's still my mother...

[She bites her lip though, putting a hand to her forehead.]

I'm just a security guard here... better to leave what happens to her to the commanders.

"Okay." Dido says. "That's a fair call."

She chews her lip. "Give that she's got destructo Ki abilities, is there anything we can do to keep her from blasting holes in a prison cell?"

She snaps her fingers. "What if we cinched her arms tight to constrict blood flow to her limbs?"

[not_a_prize]

That might be a problem... if half of what you're telling me is even all there she might try to force her ki through anyway. Enough to break whatever was there... aaand probably her arms too. And then she'd die of bloodloss.

I'd say just work on keeping her tied down with something strong with walls thick enough to stop a bomb.

"She can't shoot...well, Ki lasers from her mouth, can she?" Dido wonders aloud. "Is that a thing people on your planet can do?"

[not_a_prize]

... That's the craziest damn thing I've ever heard in my entire life Dido. No we can't do that.

[actuallyselfish]

"Then yeah, those security measures should hold her."
