see the problem here is that you never should have gotten into this argument because frankly she's 100% justified in doing what she wants to do

and we're 100% justified in trying to stop her

this is what we call an impasse

the goal here is to negotiate a way out so we don't have to fight this guy right now. be more pragmatic.

EDIT:

okay lemme take one more swing at this

> "Forget it. You seem like you're ready to deal with whatever the consequences of your wish might be."
> "Let's go back to negotiating, because I still don't want to fight until I understand all my options." Direct our attention to the servant. "Just how good are you at getting into computers? Maybe I can't prove what I'm saying is true, but maybe you can find some kind of corroborating evidence, like the kind of bullet they found in Koch?"

>Kimimela nods. Frankly, you think she may be as happy to drop it as you. Her Servant is hard to read,, either he is amused in a subtle way, or perhaps he simply didn't care?
>"Hm. Interesting proposal," Says the servant. "I may be able to find some reasonably trustworthy sources, with your leave, Master, of course."
>"We are not hacking the government right now, it would cause way too much trouble!"
>"Not the whole thing..." says the servant, frowning just a tad. "But perhaps their medic's records for the deceased."
>"Maybe," Kimimela says. "They have ways to finding that stuff, and you're pretty far away from them."
>"Yes yes, I will take the greatest care, of course," says the Servant.
>"Okay, fine," Kimimela says to you. "Maybe we can back it up."

>"Of course you do," he says.

> Tell the servant he's looking for the bullet from a Browning M1910.
> Explain Assassin's identity, his skills, and the nature of his noble phantasm.
> "So basically, if you were able to find him now, you could beat him easily. But Koch's death is going to blow up into something serious, and when it does, he'll be able to use his noble phantasm again. I have no idea how you'd escape it, the only thing I can think of is to try to use a command seal."
> "I'm sure he targeted Koch first because he was rich and influential, but it's probably wishful thinking that it'd be less effective on normal people like you and me..."

>You explain what you've learned about Gavrilo Princip. KImimela nods along, and not seeming very impressed. Lancer is definitely listening, nodding along and producing a smartphone, tapping in this or that from time to time. Archer relaxes a little in the meantime, finding a tree to lean against. You do note, however, that she is still close enough to put herself between you and Lancer or the other master if needs be.
>"Hey," Archer sends after you finish explaining. "Is it just me, or does it seem like that woman doesn't actually get what you're saying?"
>"So his whole thing is that the weapon causes a huge sort of calamity, huh?" says Kimimela. "That'll be difficult to fight against."
>"Best that we don't give him time to fight at all," says Lancer. "I do think she is right, a command seal might be enough to neutralize it. The trick will be knowing that he's there, which is what the Assassin class conceals best."

Anyone have anything they want to say before we end this meeting? I'm totally ready to book it back to our car.

>"That would be helpful," Archer sends as the two of you make you way back toward the highway. "I'm not sure if we can trust that guy, though."

>You definitely remember the way. The two of you proceed in a kind of tense silence; you kind of expect some kind of backstabbing along the way. But the bridge comes into sight with no real problems. At least until Archer stops.
>"Master, wait," she sends. "Do you see it? There's mist."
