.....Is this thing working?

I hope the members of this community will not mind a new face. Caterina-sama has been encouraging me to find some sort of recreation to get my mind off certain...things. Perhaps this community is just what I need! Oh, I'm sorry, I should introduce myself. I am Que---Sister Esther Blanchett, though you can just call me Esther. I've recently moved to London in Albion, though I really do miss Rome and my AX comrades and Abel. I don't really know what else to say, but I hope you will accept me into your community. May God bless you. ♥

Ah. So this is that computer program Lady Integra was talking about. Quite a system, if I may say. It's very interesting how this community is able to link so many people together from such...ah, exotic locales.

Oh! My apologies. I am Walter C. Dornez, servant to the Hellsing family. It is a sincere pleasure to meet you all.

You are fools, all of you, thinking that you can just waltz into the ShinRa Building and out again without so much of a hitch. You are ill-equipped and unprepared, inexperienced and naive. Your mission can only result in heavy losses on your part.

I shall watch and wait with amusement.

Rufus is sitting in the basement, reading files- throwing a knife at an old picture of his father. He senses something coming towards the mansion, hoping the monsters would eventually come. Sighing, annoyed that he wouldn't get to have a ceremony. He starts running throughout the house to get to the back.

[RL - ShinRa Building - Gaia]

Kadaj stands near the base of the building, making a final check of Team Two.

"Everyone..." He sighs and shakes his head. These kind of speeches don't come easily to him. "I just wanted to say... you've risked a lot by coming here, and you didn't have to, and I know I haven't exactly been the nicest person and I don't really deserve all this help, but... thank you."

He shrugs and draws his sword then, nodding at everyone and turning to face the ShinRa Building.

"Now... let's go kick some ShinRa ass."

He sprints across the tarmac, avoiding the main entrance and choosing instead to aim for the plain-looking door at the side of the building, which leads to the maintenance stairs. He frowns as he glances at the electrical lock; obviously, Rufus ShinRa has installed more security devices since the last time his building was infiltrated.

"Damn it!" he snarls, glancing back at the rest of the team. "Anyone any good with these things?"
