Cobalt, I give you Gina's response...
One thing that could be said for Gina: when the cards are down and nobody's playing games, she was something to be reckoned with. She had weathered Lebia's warning without batting an eyelash and took it all in with a calm and cool air. Once Lebia was done, though, she spoke her turn. What was strange was that it lacked the usual sort of Teutonic rage that Asuka was known for. After all, she was not Asuka, but Regina Langel instead.
"Lebia, I knew exactly what she was doing despite it being in the heat of the moment. And if or anyone else wishes to really make anything of it, then you'd be would be welcome to. A warning, though. I do not take such threats idly. You've seen my code. You have a small sample of I am capable of. The moment you or anyone else trespasses on Roughrider server space, you'll not only be up against me, but Ruri, Zephram, and Jessica as well. It would be a hacker war that makes Auka's Last Stand look like a badminton tournament by comparison."
"That's enough, Gina," said Ben in a firm, yet gentle voice. She complied without any sign anoyance. Benjamin went on, his voice still calm and firm, but with a dangerous undercurrent to it, "Lebia, I admit that it was a bit extreme, but I saw what she did myself and I know for a fact that it was not her intention to off-line any AIs. However, if anyone ever attmepts to do so with any of my AIs, especially Gina, they'll be off-lined by myself personally when I take their core system apart with my bare hands. There will be no attacks whatsoever on Roughrider personnel and that includes AIs, otherwise it will be taken as an act of aggression. These are not my own words, but those of everyone at 36 Atalante, including Sailor Atalante and her Sammy's and the NASA-Kinders."
Of course, this is all an aside that takes place after the Port Phobos Invitational - something I think could make for a exellent side-story that illustrates how easily tensions can develop, and be resovled in Fenspace.
