"What do you think, my dear?" The zombie asks turning towards you, but not letting her eyes leave the cat.

You tell her that you'd much rather not be kidnapped and experimented on.

"It'd only be for a little while until you die." Camelia tries, "And I'll be with you the whole time to make sure you are as comfortable as you can be while the research is going on!"

You tell her that is of little comfort.

"Now don't be like that. I'm sure it won't be all bad. You might even get some cool powers." Camelia adds, "Right, cat?"

"i supposé anythéng eez possibuhl." The cat says, annoying you a bit with the wry grin it gives while saying this. "and you weehl addrez me as 'Le Chat'."

While glaring at the cat you can see Tamako slowly inching her way towards your left. You are guessing she intends to free Emogen, but you aren't sure how she is going to accomplish this. She has a mallet, but is she even strong enough to smash open these cages? They are pretty sturdy. Still, it's the best option you have, so maybe it's just best to buy some time.

You ask what the cat even is. You believe Camelia said it was a robot, but what is it's function?

"A cat. All ze cats. Evairy 'ouse cat you can put to wairds. And yét, ai am also not. Ai béliéve you mét un of mon infairiairs een zat stairy you completed, cairrect? Ai 'ad 'aird le shr and zum 'uman 'ad defeated zat eight arméd idiot." The cat says, "Unlik zat failure, ai 'ave many fairms ai can generate."

You hear a sad slide whistle noise from your right, and the cat then says, "Yes. I was both of your cats, princess."

Tamako's mask reminds you that there was a cat with Piers as well, a sort of scrawny one-eyed street cat. This "Le Chat" must have been him too.
