Yoshika: In 3... 2... 1... Now!

An elettroshock, coming from the powers of Clostermann.

Perrine: Did my powers worked?

Yoshika: Do it again, it wasn't enough.

Andrea: Wait wait wait! It worked, it worked don't do it!

Francesca: Andrea!

Andrea: Oh thanks my GOD, I'm alive.

Ursula: We have closed your skin, you're not losing blood anymore... While for the arms and the legs...

Lynette: They repaired themselves alone, we don't know how.

Samantha: Maybe because he's a Neuroi.

Erica: Haven't you still understood? He's a human!

Andrea: I think she's right.

Mio: Sorry what?!

Andrea: Wait, I can explain!

So he did, telling them about what he discussed with Commander Pivot, explaining how his powers won't be a problem, explained how the future probably happened and... His ideas of rebellion.

Minna: An extermination of the Witches... It would make sense.

Samantha: Why?

Minna: Do you have the barely idea of how hard it is to avoid being controlled by the Allied Joint Command? Adolfine had to get her seat splitting blood for Emperor Frederick.

Sanya: But the what you said about the Tsar...

Andrea: It will happen. Even what they told me about the Emperors of Allem- Karsland and Fuso Is going to happen.

Yoshika: But the emperor is a good person.

Andrea: Your better never hear of Nanchino or the Unit 731.

Ursula: 731?

Andrea: Biological warfare, probably they developed the bacteria from the clouds.

Samantha: Oh shit...

Mio: What now?

Samantha: Unit 731, it's part of the Secret Joint Services.

Ursula: Their the secret weaponry testers!

Charlotte: But then it's all real.

Andrea: Pivot was right, their already corrupted.

Erica: Eila, do your cards say something?

Eila: He's right, that's the only thing they say.

Gertrud: Then we support you, her cards never lie.

Ursula: We should gather more information about the S.J.S., but our ranks aren't high enough. We can only lie to the superiors about your particularities.

Andrea: Maybe I can get the trust of the S.J.S., but how?

Samantha: I have an idea.

Minna: Were all ears.

Samantha: I have a case that is still unsolved, if you could solve it the S.J.S. will give you a bounty. Usually it's the easiest way to demonstrate dedication, the first thing they say to us when forming.

Andrea: Ain't I a bit too young for this? I mean, in my world you need some studies to solve cases and investigate.

Samantha: It's not about solving, it's about capturing and extrapolating intel.

Andrea: I... I think I'm good at it then.

Ursula: Can you tell us why?

Andrea: Well, it's quite simple:
I was an instructor, but also an executioner.
The government once told us that whoever does the job of Finder and Executioner would have got extra rations.
I wanted my "family" to survive, so I did only the best for them. There was no evil or hate in it, I swear, it was just to feed them better.

Ursula: What have you done?

Andrea: Bounty hunting, complaints, torturing, executing. The worse I did them the more food I got.
They tried to kill me for this, I always survived and brought more food for my students.
With my third "family" me and the other Platoon Commanders did a game of sacrifice: Periodically the less useful of the division would have been sued so that we could have more food for the troops.

Samantha: Then... You're perfect for the job.

Gertrud: Why is he?

Samantha: We have a mandate of capturing and execution for a traitor: Helèn Bertrand, alias Chris Keera.

Charlotte: Keera, I know this story! The Witches of the B Unit told me. Wasn't she dead?

Samantha: We have found during a raid in a rogue bunker the prototype for a respirator with the dimensions of a hand, she may have one in her pocket.

Minna: But she dropped from a high altitude, also Heinrike told me about it.

Samantha: I don't have them here, but there are photos of a fake passport for Gallia. It was made only some months ago and there was her face.

Francesca: For Gallia?

Erica: She's searching for revenge.

Samantha: She's a danger for the 506th JFW, would you help us take her down?

Andrea: A traitor to humanity in such a critical war? This time I think I'll enjoy killing.

Samantha: That's the spirit.

Charlotte: I'll call my dear compatriots, I'll tell them about you so you won't be misunderstood as a Neuroi trick.

Samantha: Just don't tell all the details, the telephone lines are all checked by the SJS.

Ursula: We could use reverse-psychology, why don't we let some info fly to the news offices?

Shirley: It may seem we're seriously plotting here.

Erica: That's the sister I know!

Lynette: My sister has a good work relationship with a journalist, may that help?

Perrine: The nobility of Gallia will soon know of this mysterious guy, so will the people.

Minna: I'll talk with the other Wing Commanders, the world will know of you even if he closes all together his eyes and ears.

Sanya: Maybe I can talk to the other Night Witches with...

Samantha: No don't do that!

Sanya: Uhm... Why?

Ursula: The communications, we can hear them all. That's why we have prepared ourselves so immediately, we listened to you and the other Witches.

Eila: They... They lied so easily. What else do they know?

Ursula: Sorry, we can't tell you, they would notice.

Minna: This was enough, this is a new world.

Gertrud: We're from the land of propaganda, we have our connections with the Luminous Witches and some important and influential figures, aren't the Prinzessin?

Erica: Oh, they are.

Eila: Also my sister got her information circle, they'll do a great job.

Samantha: Perfect, it would almost seem you were ready to overthrow us.

Andrea: Maybe GOD is really a thing.

Ursula: What do you mean?

Andrea: Oh, right. In my time GOD isn't a religious figure but an acronym: Great Omniscient Destiny.
I said that maybe Destiny is really a thing.

Samantha: That's the way it seems.
