[The Commander freezes in place for a moment with one foot raised, flashing back to 'Designation Claus recognized' - no no no shut up that was just a stupid glitch not recognized not recognized he's got something way more important to deal with now - and checking his charge level is enough to get him back on track.]
[...Luca - the boy being able to access the network wasn't something he expected, somehow. He'd always felt like Luca... fine, Lucas - was the sort to avoid technology. And it'd be a monumentally horrible idea to tell him of any weakness, but he's pretty sure Lucas can figure it out from the original audio. That's bad.]
[On the other hand, even if Lucas is definitely wrong about the Commander being - that name, he's a chimera, not someone's br... - anyway. Even if Lucas is wrong, he thinks he's right. Maybe that'll make him want to help, and if Lucas has any ideas...]
[Well. He actually doesn't really see a downside. If Lucas does want to attack him while he's low on charge, there's probably not much difference between it running out or being destroyed. So, after what might have been a bit of a long pause and one or two harsh breaths, he starts talking curtly.] My cybernetics are almost out of charge. A number of my internals are cybernetic. [Lucas should be able to figure out the rest himself. Meanwhile, he'll get moving again.]
