Who: Kallen Stadtfeld, The Major, ???
What: A direct theft from a leader. Oh this can't go well.
When: March 2nd, Late evening.
Where: The Major's 3rd-story office, Dwaelath
Warnings: Combat, Thievery, ???

The office was on the other side of a clearing - a short, open distance meant to ensure no one could approach unseen. A common practice... And completely useless against Kallen's techniques.

Lowering the small telescope she'd been using, she dropped it into a side pocket in her backpack. The Major had just left his office, she could see. No clue how long she'd have... But even a few key files stolen could be the key to the Black Knights getting a usable leg-up on Amestris.

Not that it had been going to well. The mysterious "Zero" had disappeared as swiftly as he'd appeared, it seemed... And without his plans, they were once more limited to random, questionably effective strikes. Without a tactician, they never stood a chance.

Hopefully, this would change that.

Breathing in, then out... Kallen activated her bracer, teleporting directly through the window into the Major's office, and looking around. She had to be quick... Not that it'd be a problem. The locks on most cabinets like this were easily forced.

[Indeed, Kallen would make short work on the cabinets. The Major hasn't especially bothered setting up such intensive security on his possessions. The girl, for the time being, can go about on her own business relatively undisturbed.]

Kallen's forced to guess - going for files in - or on - the Major's desk first, figuring they'd be the most important, loading each into her backpack almost haphazardly.

Then, it was to a cabinet - pulling the lock open, she starts on it, angling herself to face the door...

[There's nobody just yet. Kallen is free to keep rummaging. Most of the files she chooses out are all written in German. It may take some time for her to translate each of them. Some are only records of Millennium's forces, the amount of rations and whatnot regularly spent.]

*Kallen checks how much is in her backpack... Then goes through another stack. She'll worry about finding a translator later. She's basically taking random pieces - all the while, keeping an eye on the door.*

[And at this point, the door is kicked down and a barrage of bullets is randomly shot straight ahead. It's a surprise attack that, honestly, is poorly executed. The Major, after all, is a poor shot and most of those bullets are probably far from hitting Kallen.]

Guten tag, my friend! My, you've been so busy, pilfering all my files with those delicate hands of yours! Why not take a breather, hm? Or none at all? Hehehe!

*As the door collapses, Kallen moves in a single, coordinated motion. Backpack in one hand... And she teleports directly behind his desk, well clear of his angle of fire.*

... Want me to show you how to hold that thing so you can shoot worth a damn while we're at it?

*She raises one claw, as if to launch the heavy-looking object directly at him... But doesn't do so. Yet.*

[The Major gives Kallen a shrug.]

This much is already fun for me. Now answer me. You were the girl who sneaked into my lab, weren't you?

*Okay... Claw's still up. Meaning he'll expect that attack. If he turns to fire, she'll... Yes, that should work nicely.*

You don't need to know that. All you need to know is what was seen there. What will be uncovered, somehow.

And do you think that will be enough to stop me?

[He's unshaken at the "information" that Kallen managed to get her hands on. But he will not tell her what kind information if any at all.]

It'll be a start. Of course we will need more... But we will stop you. Piece by piece, we'll stop you.

*She tenses, considering just leaving now. Offhandedly, she glances outside...*

I wonder if you know what it is that you're trying to stop.

[She has no idea. The Major is sure of that. His smile indicates amusement in the sheer futility of Kallen's actions.]

Your servant's experiments, and your attacks on innocent lands.

*She takes a single step around The Major's desk, testing his reaction.*

It appears you have come here knowing nothing. You have no idea what you are trying to stop and so, you ransack my home and take everything you can, hoping that something would work.

If you have known what it is that I want, you would realize that nothing you do can stop me.

Oh, really?

*Another few steps... She's moving towards the Major. As if goading him to try and shoot again.*

But you, girl, have talent. Your skills are remarkable at least and when polished, I have no doubts you can grow to surpass many of my SS Werwolf Kampfgruppe.

I offer you this one opportunity. Join me.

... You have not what I desire. Nor, I believe, will you ever.

Ah, but you admit you have something you desire. Something you are willing to fight for. Shame, really, that you as of yet have no inclination to kill to achieve what you desire. Such halfheartedness can never allow one to overcome struggle.

Funny to hear that from one who seems to desire little more than to create struggle.

And, more importantly who said I have no will to kill? I only have the reason not to. Yet.

*And then... She's gone. A sudden teleport outside - into the air - followed quickly by another to the ground outside.*

Then what can I say except I look forward to giving you that reason?

[And outside, the guards have caught wind of Kallen's presence. Millennium officers in armor run out of the building and begin firing at Kallen. The Major walks towards the window and makes a dirty grin in the direction of the girl.]

*Like that'll stop her. She shoots a short glare at the Major before disappearing into another teleport. She's not going to bother fighting them.

Not when she has a chance at getting an advantage soon.*
