Mayuri

Oh, that's a very nice test subject you have there.

Marechiyo

Dammit! Why did I have to get Squad 12 of all places?!

Gegetsuburi

Good luck out there.

Marechiyo

Don't act like you're not a part of this. You're getting dragged into this too. Now, think!

Don't you remember you were about to get cut up into pieces by Captain Kurotsuchi?!

Gegetsuburi

Right. We'll send him a message telling him that we have to go out on patrol, and then we lay low so we won't run into anyone. How's that sound?

Marechiyo

Great idea, in theory. But there's no guarantee that we'll live to see tomorrow if we accidently run into him somewhere else.

That being said, we could go out on patrol to lessen the amount of time we spend there. Either way, we have to check-in with him first.

2. Before the boss

Marechiyo

Captain Kurotsuchi...

Woah?! Wh-What the hell is this?!

Mayuri

So you've finally arrived, have you? How long were you planning to make me wait?

Marechiyo

C-Captain Kurotsuchi! What is this machine? It looks like there are a lot of ropes hanging from it.

Mayuri

This is the result of considering all the problems I experienced during the last lieutenant swap.

This time, I determined I shall immediately capture whoever it is that comes from whichever squad so that I can make a test subject out of them.

Gegetsuburi

I knew something like this would happen.

Marechiyo

Well, no way I'm gonna sit here and let him catch me!

3. After the battle

Mayuri

That's it? This was your final struggle?

Marechiyo

Dammit, no... Wait, please, Captain Kurotsuchi! I beg you, please spare me from being your test subject!

Mayuri

This is the perfect opportunity for you and your manifested Zanpakuto. Consider being part of my experiment your mission for today.

Marechiyo

No, no! I'm sure there are other ways we can be useful to you! Isn't that right?!

Gegetsuburi

Y-Yeah! He's got a point!

Mayuri

All right, you've caught my interest. Tell me, how else could you possibly be useful to me?

Marechiyo

W-Well, let's see. Oh, we can fix your broken equipment! Or why don't I just get you a new set of installations!

Mayuri

Go on.

Marechiyo

This is Squad 12 we're talking about! You guys have the 13 Court Guard Squads' future resting on your shoulders! I'd love to help you guys out!

Mayuri

We do in fact require some new installations for our next experiment. If what you suggest is true, I suppose I wouldn't mind letting you take that on as your mission this time.

Marechiyo

That'd be great! I'll get right on accomplishing that task!

Gegetsuburi

(I never thought there'd be a day I'd feel grateful for having this guy as my master.)
