((I thought the rebel base was at the border. That's why... ))
"Take a look." Jian said, handing him the strange lady bug toy with the note facing toward Damien.

((Ah, true. It's close, but when did the twins get out? Or is it remote controlled?))
Damien read the note, then looked at the contraption. "What the hell is this? Must be some sort of machine like those spiders" he commented. The Absolute Leader then began fiddling with it to see what it did.

((remote controlled))
Under a note was a button that would open up the ladybug. Inside was an envelope with a letter inside, which read.
"Dear Absolute Leader,
We miss you guys. Being with these rebels suck! They're so irritating, and they keep us locked behind a door without a keyhole. Apparently, the didn't like that we blew up their lab with nitroglycerine on our last escape attempt. There is one person who is ok, and she's not even a rebel. Her name is Shadow, and she brings us toys and movies and stuff, so we were able to make this out of what she gave us. We also met this guy named Kyrell who says he's a prince, but he's a jerk. You should have seen Shadow chew him out! There was also a guy named Dustin who said he was our uncle and that you were our father. We didn't believe him, but they showed us DNA tests proving it. We were shocked, but we understand why you didn't tell us. It was to protect us, right? Well, we made a few more designs, and they're in the ladybug. There's a clutch to the left where this letter was that will let out our designs. Please find us soon daddy.
~Vincent and Valkyrie."

Damien looked visibly shaken as he finished reading the note. He arms convulsed and he had to put the ladybug down since he didn't want to drop it. He shook his head. "Wow. Now everyone pretty much knows. I wonder how many hands that letter passed around. Well at least they're alright. It also seems that Shadow is well too" he said. He handed Jian the letter. "Open up the ladybug. I'm too shaken and I'll probably break it" he ordered.

"Alright then. The letter was sealed when you opened it, sir, and the paper covering the opening that we read looked as if it had not been messed with. Chances are, no one read it before you." Jian said, trying to calm Damien down. He helped Damien to a chair, then looked over the note. Seeing what Damien was so shaken about, Jian swallowed hard and said nothing. Jian set the note on the table face down so that Monica wouldn't look at it, then picked up the toy. He then pulled the left clutch and saw the designs hidden at the top of the toy. He carefully pulled them out one by one and looked over the blueprints. "Amazing..." Jian muttered, looking over the designs. "These could revolutionize warfare."

Damien turned his head and looked at Jian with the designs. He got out of the chair and walked over to look at them. "Wow. Those kids are amazing. With this Helmshire will fall in no time" he said, looking the designs over. They truly were his kids.

"Check out this one." Jian said, handing Damien one that was called a 'Cheetah.' It was a small, low to the ground single soldier assault machine with catlike legs used to propel it forward at great velocities. "These are far simpler to make, but the estimated data is extraordinary. Imagine an army of these against Helmshires gunman. They won't stand a chance."

By this time, Kyrell slipped out without his guards and without anyone. He was hurrying to get to one of the places where some of his disguises were stashed. No doubt, he needed some time away from the palace to reflect or cool down at the very least.
"Sir, we lost the prince!" A rebel said, approaching Zil.
"Aw nuts!" Zil said in a hushed voice. He then paused and said, "You know what? Leave him alone. He's a slightly grown up young man. He'll be back home when he needs to be" He then walked over to Fanny's room to give her the sweets.
Monica shut her eyes and opened them after a bit. It was a habit whenever she knew something was being hidden from her. She did it to keep herself from prying. She then began to speak, "There hasn't been news on the twins lately. The rebels did blow up the mines and factories yesterday again though. We're still investigating on how that happened and the recruitment and security around those places have been tightened. For now, it is believed that three of our steel production factories are so damaged they can't be used anymore and it is estimated that we'll have to start importing steel by next month if this keeps up" She sighed.
((OOC: We timeskipped, right~? ))

"Have those places repaired as quickly as possible. We need production back on track, especially if we're going to build these new machines. Have all materials seized from captured Helmshire territory and shipped over here. We can't let them get it back" Damien ordered. He looked at the designs again. "I had a feeling those kids would stay on our side. They truly are pure Diethelmians" he said.

"I agree." Jian replied, though it was probably obvious to both Jian and Damien that their loyalty was not bought by nationalism, but rather their family connection. "I agree. We'll start shipping civilians and soldiers as escorts to retrieve the materials immediately.

"Excellent. Hey, if this was found near the border then that must be where the twins are and therefore the rebel base. I want an investigation done around the area where that object was found" Damien ordered.

"Yes sir." Jian replied. "Who knows, we might be able to find out where the rebels have been smuggling people." Though he said it plainly, he almost just wanted to leave the rebels there so people could get out. Still, he reasoned it wouldn't matter once as Helmshire was taken over, and that the twins were needed.

"Good. Then we can teach them a little lesson on who's the boss and what they're allowed to do. I'm sure those children will welcome that liberation with open arms. I also don't want my brother Dustin tortured to death until after I've at least seen him" Damien said.

"Alright then. I'll be sure to let those in charge of the investigation know." Jian replied. "What about Shadow, the scientists, or any other rebel leaders?"
