[A wave of foreboding washes over Rose as they make their way through the castrum. This is going smoothly...too smoothly for her comfort. Somehow, they seem to be missing all the patrols, which is a blessing. But she's not used to things being easy, and she doubts that escape will be so simple.]
[She is, after all, the closest thing that the Alliance has to a trump card, and that means that the Empire will be watching her relentlessly. Her fears are confirmed when they reach the central compound; three soldiers, dead, each lying in a pool of his own blood. She raises a hand to cover her mouth; for all the death she's seen, she's never gotten used to it, and this sight sends her heart racing. They had come to save her, and now they were dead.]
[They're trapped, and she's well aware of it. There's only so much she can do without a weapon. Even if she had one, she can barely walk. She's not sure of her companions strength, but she doubts that he can take on whoever did this, in addition to protecting her. She looks up at Takame with horror in her eyes.]
They'll be back shortly, no doubt. We need a plan.
