It was clear that Zavier didn't like how this officer had just shown up out of the blue. Most people, including Mabel, would have rather talked to him than ignored him because he came from a noble family. It was possible that Gus and his uncle Val were political adversaries.
"I will," he said as he stood there with his arms outstretched, "it is my duty as a member of the Adam family of the Hiling Empire."

Zavier then implanted his consciousness into the clone while conversing with Rebecca. This conceited young lady was constantly complaining about being excluded from the organization's activities.
"Are you absolutely certain that you want to join us?" Zavier decided to encourage her further.
She gave a brief blank stare in response before nodding emphatically.
"Yes!"
That was sufficient on its own.
