"Oh, bien sûr, nous serions heureux d'aider un ami, n'est-ce pas Serafina? (Oh of course we'd be happy to help out a friend, right Serafina?)"said Bengino as he enthusiastically looks at Serafina for approval to which Serafina sighs as she says "oui je t'aiderai... mais tu dois m'aider avec une faveur qui m'appartient (yes I'll help... but you have to help me with a favour of my own)" to which ARG-05 immediately translates to the Captain "they said they'll help us if you help Serafina with a favour of her own". The captain thinks of it for a second before nodding, making Serafina motion to the captain to climb up into the window which he does after a few failed attempts.
Once they've gone through the window which leads to a large circular hallway, Serafina begins walking to the right of them as she says "suis-moi (follow me)" which they do. Serafina stops at a door before opening whilst saying "c'est la chambre de ma sœur, la reine des Viators, donc fondamentalement, nous sommes au courant de Squinty et de sa rébellion à Crowehurst et ma sœur a un peu peur de lui, donc ce que je veux que vous fassiez, c'est l'intimider pour qu'elle accorde un pardon à Bengino car seul le la reine peut faire ça, tu peux le faire comme tu veux tant que tu ne tues personne mais je serai à la fenêtre, Bengino est là quand tu l'as fait (this is my sister's room, the queen of the Viators so basically we're aware of Squinty and his rebellion in Crowehurst and my sister is kind of scared of him so what I want you to do is intimidate her into giving Bengino a pardon as only the queen can do that, you can do this however you want as long as you don't kill anyone but I'll be over at the window, Bengino is at when you've done it)".
Before ARG-05 can reply, Serafina has already left. "So, what did Serafina say?" asked the Captain before ARG-05 immediately replies back "she wants us to pretend to be Squinty and intimidate her sister into making her pardon Bengino by any means necessary besides killing and she'll be waiting for us where Bengino is".
"Any means necessary huh? ARG-05 do you still know how to make TNT?" said the Captain grinning as he came up with an idea. ARG-05 switches to his confused expression as he replies, "yes why?".
"I have an idea, how about we explode the wall, getting everyone's attention and leave a forged letter threatening the queen to pardon Bengino or else because if she's scared of him surely, she'll say yes" said the captain as he inspected the wall. ARG-05 smiles as he says, "good idea as always Captain you write the note while I make the TNT". ARG-05 grabs a flare gun in the emergency storage within the captain's life support system and begins to disassemble it before grabbing out a spray can and using it to make something which looks like a sticky bomb with a timer before he attaches it to the wall. Meanwhile, the Captain writes a letter addressing the queen which reads: 'dear queen of viators, please pardon your criminals otherwise it will be more than a wall I'll take out - Squinty'. The captain places the letter on her bedside table before lifting it into the centre of the room before motioning to ARG-05 to start the timer on the TNT which he does, giving them 60 seconds to get out of there.
The captain quickly rushes out of the room, making sure he doesn't forget his coat before bolting over to Serafina who says "l'AS-tu fait- (did you do it-)". Before Serafina can finish her sentence, she is cut off by a loud boom coming from her sister's room and the quick marching of guards and her sister. There's a brief pause which is quickly broken by a blood curdling scream coming from the queen of viators as she yells "Fais juste ce que dit la lettre, je me fiche de ce qui fait que ça arrive, nous ne pouvons pas laisser Squinty ruiner notre pays (Just do whatever the letter says, I don't care what just make it happen, we can't have Squinty ruining our country)". Serafina smiles as she says "bon travail (good job)" before both her and the captain climb out of the window and meet with Bengino.
Once they meet up with Bengino, Serafina asks ARG-05 "Alors qu'est-ce que la faveur exactement? (So, what the favour exactly?)". ARG-05 glitches for a second as the Captain puts the coat back on before replying "ok si longue histoire mais le capitaine a rencontré Merlo et Pavona qui sont les enfants d'Avvoltoio et fondamentalement l'ex-femme d'Avvoltoio a emmené les enfants et là maintenant dans un château et le capitaine veut vraiment les sauver pour une raison quelconque, nous avons donc besoin d'aide pour pénétrer dans ledit château (okay so long story but the Captain met Merlo and Pavona who are Avvoltoio's children and basically Avvoltoio's ex-wife took the kids and there now in a castle and the Captain really wants to rescue them for some reason so we need help to break into said castle)". Serafina looks at Bengino, smiling, before saying "oh ça devrait être un morceau de gâteau (oh that should be a piece of cake)".
