Spoiler for not quite:

Simply gaining the Numbers won't do anything to remove the stigma on the technology. If the technology behind them could be shown to be safe and mass-produceable, it might be enough to get the ban on it lifted. That is what is suggested to be Reguis' plan.

I suppose we'll see in ep19 if Reguis recovers from his heart attack. I wonder which outcome would be "worse" for RF6?

That would go against Nanoha-code.

Hmm, you have a point...

What's one level below 'awesome' then ?

'cool' I guess...

Need help from moon-speakers here.

During Hayate's little talk with Auris, did she mention that killing Quint was not only to silence her but also to let Scaglietti get his hands on excellent samples (for creating artificial magi) from her? This is what I understand from flsnow's subs.

Also, from Auris' accusation, it appears that Hayate's remarkable power comes from her absolute unison with the Tome of the Night Sky (Auris used YnS, but I prefer the true name) which, as we all know, has devoured enough magical power to probably blast a planet into tiny asteroids (if MP can cause physical damage, that is).

In a way, we can probably say that the current Hayate is the Tome of the Night Sky.

Arthra will be the new RF6 base. Apparently Hayate gave the situation some thought and decided that a mobile base will best serve their purpose.

Lastly, not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but I just realised that the Relic used for Vivio's "operation" housed in box VII.

Anyway their current base is full of holes. That will not do if it happens to rain.

That's very true .

Anyway, Scaglietti calls the Relic in question, the Proof of the Sei-ou. From flsnow's subs for that rather nasty scene,

Scaglietti: Now, let us begin. By bestowing the Proof of the Sei-Ou unto the Vessel... Vivio, you shall be my greatest masterpiece...

No, comparing to the two other times we've seen a Relic's number plate in ep6 and 12, it's more likely to be Relic XIII instead.

I'm not sure whether it's VII or VIII, but it definitely can't be XII.

Is it a nasty scene? OK, Vivio is tied, and she cries a lot as usual, and we know Scaglietti will do something to her, but the endings pops up before he does anything.

He's going to cut her stomach open and insert the Relic, no less

Nothing so direct. Such a big stone in her body would rip her internal organs.
I believe he'll make the relic fuse with her in some magical way. Whether it'll be painful is not known.

Or it could go instead of her heart

Ah, no pain no gain is my motto Go, Jail! Though it doesn't seem like he caused much pain to his harem unless they like it

Well... Why not?

What makes you say that? Where did you find proof, or even hints, that he enjoys inflicting pain, or that he ever did?

[Keroko]

Well, we already know that he enjoys inflicting fear and terror to little kids...

Anyway, the fact that he doesn't give a crap if his drones kill anything that comes into their path while searching for relics could be a hint.

Not really. He's enjoying the fact that his masterpiece is about to be finished.
Maybe he doesn't care about the fear/pain he inflicts, but that doesn't mean he *enjoys* it. It's very different.

(Besides, on this aspect, he's no worse than Schach. And Nanoha seems pretty good at making Vivio cry too...)

That doesn't mean he enjoys it.

Besides, we don't know for sure that one of his drones did hurt someone, except TSAB mages who directly opposed them.

Well, it does show VII at around 23:10~23:20. I doubt it's XII since I double-checked it left and right before posting. It's VII no matter from which angle I look at the moniter.

Well, my imagination is sometimes a bit more "suggestive" than most .
