Osborne and Rocksmith want to talk with the PCs. Their PC-dars are well calibrated, it seems
Lloyd doesn't want to do. Dudley tells him to grow the fuck up and do his job

he also says if things go to south, just let Elie do the diplomatic work. That's good advice tbh

While we go there, we get snippets of Kilika and Arios talking about backstory, as well as Lechter and Kloe, and never mind the Cold Steel girl making random references to future game events

Slow down Cold Steel girl, I haven't played those yet

We talk to Rocksmith. He starts praising us over and over, even wanting to give us a medal for our deeds in the last game

At first it seems the game just wants to hint that he is a good politician, but he's baiting the party into saying they can't receive the medal since they are from another country, just so he can reply "but your country is vassal to my country". Bullseye.

next, the big bad of this half of the series

he starts by casually revealing random stuff he knows about the party

If Rocksmith wanted to make us uncomfortable, Osborne just wants to set everything on fire

Osborne is almost breaking the party. But then Lloyd does the protagonist thing and plays a higher card

thats gotta sting

Osborne makes another jab and ends the conversation before it gets too heated Then he casually reveals he knows the contents of our talk with Rocksmit from 5 minutes ago. Everyone just knows everything in this setting don't they

btw, assuming I was allowed to talk to the two leaders in any order, I like how the game changed the dialogue depending on who I talk to first

back to the conference. Osborne is giving shit to Crossbell's government for failing to prevent the crisis from last game, which was primarily caused by people in Osborne's pocket

He is also mad Crossbell is in constant political strife, which is caused by well, himself

then they propose the CGF is abolished. Ofc they do

the problem of being a buffer country is when the two countries who own you decide to team up to crush your automony. The leaders of other states are complaining but it's clear there are only two people in this room who hold any power over Crossbell whatsoever

while the politicians plot annexation of Crossbell in broad daylight, we keep getting phone calls suggesting that all terrorist factions in the continent are coming to this building. The tension.

Crois is about to play his own card, when the room is raided by friggin apaches

Aaaaaand they also hacked the building

we get some Sprite Modern Warfare. It's going badly for the good guys, but Tio manages to unhack one of the doors so we can provide backup

The entire arc has prepared us for this moment. We are the cavarly now

never mind, Arios shows up and starts deflecting bullets with wind slashes. Godanmit, Arios.

but the enemy also has robots, so theres an opponent for us

There are bombs about to detonate above us. Clearly the only thing left to do is to have a Megaman Battle Network fight between Tio, Jona and Campanella

in the future, wars will be fought by clown avatars in blue data arenas

time go to to the grofront again, chase down some terrorists

You know Rocksmith and Osborne are going to use this event to argue for dissolution of the CGF again, right? I mean, they completely failed to prevent not one, but two terrorist factions from entering
