Captain Sagi asks the lieutenant to bring him his "takemikachi zu" , which means that he can serve as the highness's "living duplicate" . The lieutenant is moved by the offer, but he knows that the empire will soon fall if anything happens to his highness. He asks Sagi to think of the situation as a whole, and not just as a military one. Sagi points out that the rebel forces don't want to fight the whole army, so they're going to try to concentrate their forces and break through the enemy lines. He also notes that it would be unnatural for Sagi's highness to be fighting the rebels on her own, since she's the one who's piloting the shogun. But Sagi says that he's heard from many people that the rebels are acting in her best interest, and that she didn't just want to rebel for her own sake. The major disagrees, saying that it's foolish for the royal guard to stage a rebellion while fighting with the betas. He says that if he were in command, he wouldn't leave such a critical mission to such a soldier, but Sagi knows that he has heard many different opinions, and he doesn't know how to respond to them all. The Major says that they'll use the plan Sagi has devised.
