[scene: Coral business district]
A heating stove was set up in the middle of a snow-covered street.
Raven: The Herrscher is moving towards the Coral business district. The sensors we've set up were disabled. The last batch of data we received showed that the Herrscher spawned numerous beasts along her path. These beasts are creating extremely cold areas that would kill ordinary humans. We must destroy these beasts to approach our target.
Owl: Even if we could get closer to the Herrscher, we need a better plan or she'll just run away again.
Raven: Indeed. The Scepters of Duat will be crucial to our plan.
Mei(HoT): Can you explain what that device really is?
Owl: Simply put, the Scepters are limiters that disrupt the Honkai energy output of a Herrscher's core. Jackal said they do this by introducing interfering "twists" to the link between the core and Imaginary Space. In other words, the Scepters can severely limit the Herrscher's actions without killing her. Usually, these limiters won't last long, but if you severely wound and weaken the Herrscher of Ice first......the effect might last long enough for us to bring the Herrscher to our Sire who'd then seal her. With her powers gone, the Herrscher would enter into a coma and become a harmless "vegetable".
Mei(HoT):............
Owl: I'm sorry. What I said may sound cruel, especially to a Herrscher like you.
Owl apologised to Mei, but it was Raven who replied.
Raven: Cruel? Since when did you become a kind person?
Owl: We do have a Herrscher in our team, though.
Mei(HoT): It's alright. If that is the only way, I'll do whatever it takes to finish my task.
Owl:......Alright, then. Let's plan for the next battle. Any delays would only make things worse for us.
Raven: Mei will take her head on. We'll engage her in the ways that we're proficient in.
Owl: Yes. I'll agree to that.
Owl added more fuel to the camp stove, perhaps to ward off the cold.
Raven: We must first locate the Herrscher. Honkai energy and freezing winds have disabled our sensors. We can only rely on unassisted vision. I will find an elevated position to find the target and provide you with long-range support.
Owl: Once we locate the Herrscher, I'll set a trap with the Scepters of Duat. Mei will then lure the target into this trap.
Mei(HoT) nodded with approval.
Owl: But the Herrscher used to be a highly trained Valkyrie. A human might easily see through this trap.
Raven: Only if she were human. In the last battle, she couldn't even talk and was driven on by a destructive instinct.
Mei(HoT): She is a unique case.
Mei looked at the fire in the stove and recalled what Dr. Einstein said about Herrschers.
Mei(HoT): That ex-Valkyrie's body may be thoroughly corrupted... but her mind may still be resisting its influence. She appeared to be mindless only because she was still fighting the Herrscher persona for control over her body. If the Herrscher persona had won, we wouldn't be seeing that instead.
Owl: She's still fighting the Honkai?
Raven: But we cannot afford the cost of failure. This is our best moment to strike. If we all agree to the plan, we should get started right away.
