[You're a student at the Prestigious Academy for Rich Sons and Daughters of Important People. It's between classes.]

Hey, uh, do you know where the stable is? I'm new, and this place is way bigger than I thought.

[Just as you were starting to wonder why the sentries at your base camp were taking so long to report in, there was a giant explosion. Someone set off the gunpowder in your supply depot. Everyone's running around in panic, when you suddenly happen to glimpse a kid with a strangely designed scythe running through the crowds, on his way out. There's something odd about him that makes him hard to focus on, like he's flickering in and out of visibility. He notices that you saw him and quickly closes in on you.]

Sorry, but I can't leave anyone who's seen me here stay alive.

[The secret's out. You know that Duo's a crazy terrorist who fights to destabilize the corrupt regime and he knows you know. You're confronting him about it, to arrest him, recruit him, moralize at him, or whatever. Up to you.]

Figured you'd show up sooner or later. Let's make this quick, I've got things to be doing.

[...So. Athrun has a wife who has killed countless Zeon civilians and is currently believed to be dead. He needs somewhere to hide her, because he isn't idealistic enough to believe that she'll get a fair trial. Not until Lelouch steps forward, anyway.]

This may sound strange, but I have to ask. Have you been basing yourself in one place, and if you have, are you confident in its security?

[maxwells_silver_scythe]

I try to move around whenever I can. When you're traveling light, it's the best way to confuse pursuit.

[infinitejustice]

I see. Is there any chance you could quietly escort a VIP to Alilany?

[maxwells_silver_scythe]

Depends on a lot of things. Let's start with who and why.

[infinitejustice]

[Athrun hesitates. This could work in his favor, but it could also backfire.]

...Does the name "Euphemia li Britannia" mean anything to you?

[maxwells_silver_scythe]

Didn't she go crazy and start killing people a while back?

[infinitejustice]

That wasn't her fault. Somebody placed a geas on her to do that, and I just barely managed to break it. I need proof of that, though, and until then, she needs to go into hiding.

[maxwells_silver_scythe]

See, this is exactly the kind of attention I don't need right now. I'm kinda busy, you know.

[infinitejustice]

And I have someone who is almost guaranteed to be executed if anyone else from Zeon finds her -- someone who's not responsible for the crimes caused! I had to do something!
