[Just before everything went to hell, the other stuff and now this, Musashi had received another gift. A new sword. One inextricably linked to Lucy by their...deep connection to each other. The one they both know exists but haven't acknowledged yet. The sword can allow her to access Lucy's memories, her experiences. It's a deeply intimate thing, and one Musashi would absolutely never use without her permission. But the appearance of Smasher, Lucy's heightened emotional state, well...the Kintsugi responds, and Musashi gets a vision.
Lucy is being loaded into the backseat of a car by a petite young woman in a coat too large for her and neon blue skin. They are surrounded by the sound of gunfire, dinging across the doors of the heavily-reinforced armoured car. The petite woman (Rebecca. Her name is Rebecca, and the memory of her is filled with regret) is pulling a large autocannon out of the back. Her hands are augmented, huge and reinforced, able to handle the weight of the weapon.
"Ugh. No rest at all." She mutters, resting the autocannon against her shoulder. "Hey. Glad you're back safe." They exchange tired smiles, and they both know this is the last time they'll ever speak. "For XXXXXXX sake, I mean." The sound is static-y, like nails on chalkboard, distorted. Something Lucy has locked deep away and can't let go of, even now. It makes the memory ripple and glitch.
Then both their attention is drawn upwards. Something is plummeting out of the sky, firing at them. Rebecca raises the autocannon skyward and returns fire. "WE'RE HAVING A MOMENT HERE! FUCK YOU—"
The enraged shout is cut off as the thing from the sky hits the ground. For a moment, a horrifying split-second Lucy sees Rebecca be torn apart by cannonfire right before...
Right before Adam Smasher lands on top of her, and the force of the impact causes the entirety of Arasaka Plaza to collapse downwards, and the car, and Lucy plummet into the darkness below.
A second to blink that all out, and Musashi switches to a private channel, to Lucy's own account.]
Lucy, talk to me. Please. You can't close this off.

I need to know what he can do.
