Luca took note of her mentioning squad 12. She was right about their secrecy. Their own lieutenant was able to conduct just about anything without anyone finding out. That extended to experiments on a fugitive he was harboring. To say it made Luca nostalgic wouldn't be correct. it was more that he was satisfied in his knowledge of the seireitei that she could tell him something like this and it not surprise him in the least.
...
Kazura would see two people barge into his office. One familiar, the other less so. "Hey, Kaz, guess what I found?" Luca would exclaim, sounding entirely too pleased with himself. "A real life vizard!" Luca presented Cami as if she were some prized animal. "Now, I know what you're thinking. "Luca, what are you wasting my time for?" and to that I say this vizard needs our help controlling her inner hollow or whatever. AND we get cool scientific data! You're all about that, right? And where else are you going to find a vizard to cooperate? Really, we all win here!" To really bring the point home, Luca pointed finger guns at Kaz and then at Cami. "So, what do you think? I know, I know, it was pretty great of me to bring you two together, buuuut I'm sure we can figure out some way to compensate my efforts later! Go on, Cami, tell him about your problem!"

Kazura could sense them coming. Luca and a stranger, heading up the elevator towards the middle floor of the building where his office was located. Luca was probably going to try to barge in here with his stranger, so Kazura took the liberty of unlocking the door and heading back to his desk. If he hadn't, Luca would have been sorely embarrassed by the inability to enter the room. With how many times Irina had broken in here, Kazura had made the room almost a nuclear fallout bunker, except resistant to spiritual attack/manipulation instead of nuclear bombs. His door was specially locked, the walls had been fortified with reiatsu, even the ceiling and floor were strengthened against modification or manipulation.
The CEO of Uzaki Enterprises had his back to the pair when they entered. He spun his chair around slowly, hands held tented in front of his face like your typical James Bond villain from the movies. He listened to Luca stream his words out like a fire hose, just sitting there tapping his fingers together while sizing up this vizard he had been brought. "Interesting... I have some experience with Vizards, but never one willing to open up about their existence. I'm listening, Cami. Tell me how I can help you."
As the two of them stepped out of the elevator, and made their way into Kazura's office, Camila couldn't help but smile. Seeing Luca's enthusiasm about being here was almost contagious. "Hey, Kaz, guess what I found? A real life vizard!" Cami couldn't help but chuckle nervously at Luca's comment. She'd have to correct that take here in a moment, but she wanted to let the two of them speak before saying anything. "Now, I know what you're thinking. "Luca, what are you wasting my time for?" and to that I say this vizard needs our help controlling her inner hollow or whatever. AND we get cool scientific data! You're all about that, right? And where else are you going to find a vizard to cooperate? Really, we all win here! So, what do you think? I know, I know, it was pretty great of me to bring you two together, buuuut I'm sure we can figure out some way to compensate my efforts later! Go on, Cami, tell him about your problem!"
A smile still on her face, she turned to Kazura, almost expecting him to say something first. With the way he was sitting and watching, she felt a cold, almost unfamiliar feeling resonate from Kazura, but something that felt... almost nostalgic. She couldn't quite put her finger on it, but perhaps that would make itself known in time. As he spoke, though, those feelings quickly faded into something much more positive; welcoming. "Interesting... I have some experience with Vizards, but never one willing to open up about their existence. I'm listening, Cami. Tell me how I can help you."
The smile she'd been holding quickly grew, as she nodded her head. "Thank you," she said, "I really appreciate the time that both of you are taking to help with this. Truthfully, though, I'm... well, I'm not a full Vizard yet, if that makes any sense. I'm still going through the wringer with inner hollow problems, and it's frankly a lot more than I think I can handle. On my own, at least. That's more or less why I'm here; I wanted to know if you'd be able to help me with getting this damned thing under control. Or, at least point me in the right direction. In exchange, I'm more than glad to offer myself up for any bit of 'Vizard research' y'all could really want. While normally not something I'd be this... forward about, each passing day has been pushing me into more and more of a difficult situation, and frankly I just want it all over."

Kazura listened to Camila's tale, his head calculating and analyzing each word as she said them. He was an expert in reading body language, intent, and figuring people out. He wanted to help this "not full Vizard" and learn more about their kind. Zeich was not very... divulging with information. As Camila finished her speech, Kazura stood up slowly from his chair and offered a handshake. "I'm sure we can come to an arrangement. I need two things to better assist you in identifying and controlling the root of your Hollowfication. The first is easy... The second less so. The first thing I need is to be allowed to touch your Zanpakutou for a small to moderate amount of time. The second I will get to in a moment."
An odd request, for certain, to touch another's release weapon, but Kazura was going to explain why he needed what he needed. "Using my powers of Soul command, I can let my consciousness explore an item that is in my hands and read into it. I can calculate many things with this exploration, including potentially where the Hollow controls the blade, if anywhere." Kazura stopped for a moment and thought of any counter arguments or hesitations. "If it is purely in your soul and has no part of itself in your release... I'm not sure if that helps, but it's a start. It also will not be harmful to your blade and I don't need it to be out of your possession, just allowing me to touch it and maintain contact."
Now for the second thing, which was going to be a very odd request indeed. "The second thing I need is a powerful source of raw reiatsu. If I am to create a Limiter for your Hollow that is tailored to you personally, I'm going to need a lot of energy as well as an "elemental" soul of great power. I can manipulate that source into an enchantment of crystal. I have found only such a source in the Quincy population. The Crosses they carry that form their bows and draw in energy from the air... I need one to be able to assist you best. I care not how you obtain it, just know that I cannot fully help you until that is in my hands as well."
"I'm sure we can come to an arrangement. I need two things to better assist you in identifying and controlling the root of your Hollowfication. The first is easy... The second less so. The first thing I need is to be allowed to touch your Zanpakutou for a small to moderate amount of time. The second I will get to in a moment." As Kazura finished speaking, Camila carefully placed her weapon on the man's desk. "Mind the blade," she said, "asshole Captain took the scabbard some time back. Hopefully that won't be an issue. That said, though, take as much time as you need; I'm incredibly grateful for your assistance."
"Using my powers of Soul command, I can let my consciousness explore an item that is in my hands and read into it. I can calculate many things with this exploration, including potentially where the Hollow controls the blade, if anywhere." Camila shuddered as Kazura continued to speak. "If it is purely in your soul and has no part of itself in your release... I'm not sure if that helps, but it's a start. It also will not be harmful to your blade and I don't need it to be out of your possession, just allowing me to touch it and maintain contact."
The girl forced out a nervous chuckle. "About that," she stammered, "he's... more or less got full control over my release. I don't exactly have an 'Inner Spirit' like other Shinigami do; it's practically just him. I apologize if that complicates things a bit, but he's a bit more 'with' me than I'd like to admit." Placing her hands behind her back, Camila stood continuing to face Kazura, slightly unnerved at her own situation. She still struggled to believe everything that'd happened; everything that had worked to damn her to this point in her life. Nonetheless, she held out hope that Kazura would be able to provide assistance.
"The second thing I need is a powerful source of raw reiatsu. If I am to create a Limiter for your Hollow that is tailored to you personally, I'm going to need a lot of energy as well as an "elemental" soul of great power. I can manipulate that source into an enchantment of crystal. I have found only such a source in the Quincy population. The Crosses they carry that form their bows and draw in energy from the air... I need one to be able to assist you best. I care not how you obtain it, just know that I cannot fully help you until that is in my hands as well."
Cami immediately perked up at the mention of Quincies, picking up immediately on what Kazura was saying. Taking her anger out on the Quincy population was effectively a passtime at this point for the girl. She nodded with a smile. "Not a problem at all," she said, "Getting my hands on a Quincy's cross is effectively child's play at this point. Any particular time you'd need that by? If so, I'm more than glad to secure that here in a bit. That said, though, I do want to ask you; how much do you know about Vizards? You do seem to be fairly knowledgeable on the subject being as willing to help as you seem to be, so I've gotta say that my interest is piqued. Please, if you do know of any shortcuts to subjugating this damned thing, I'm absolutely all ears."

Cami explained that the Hollow controlled her entire release. This would make subjugating him harder, most likely, but not impossible. Did Kazura know much about Vizards, really anything about their Inner struggles? Not really, but he was a very quick learner and able to analyze very quickly. He wouldn't need much time with the Zanpakutou if it was going to be easy to find a spot where the Hollow resided inside. He shuddered to think what would happen if this spirit inside Cami contacted his own demon, but he pushed that thought from his mind and continued listening. Cami called him out, though, asking for a shortcut to subjugation.
"The faster I have the materials, the more time I have to create a specialized limiter for your Inner Hollow. As for knowledge about Vizards and shortcuts, I'll admit that I know of the type of soul that has already achieved Mask rather than actual experience with the soul before the subjugation, as you call it. I know more of the completed Vizard than your state." He thought back to his fight with Zeich, who then had been only knowns as Wolf. He wouldn't dare speak the man's name in the presence of a Shinigami, for fear of it getting back to them that he employed the Vizard and held him in such a high rank, due to the Kill on Sight order that was usually placed on a known Vizard defector.
"I'll just be a moment with the Zanpakutou now." Placing a hand on the least dangerous part of the sealed blade, he poured raw reiatsu into his hand, then let it emerge into the blade. He started to Trace it, exploring the blade physically first in an attempt to understand the creation of such a weapon, but that was unsuccessful. It was too harmonized with Camila's Soul and had become unique to her. It was no longer an Asauchi, it was her unique Zanpakutou. But that just took a few seconds before he started to divert his attention inwards. He'd examine the Inner World of the Zanpakutou like he had been inside Jem the Mod Soul's pill mentally. He'd stay and look for long enough to see Camila's Inner Hollow and analyze his appearance before disconnecting. Or at least trying to disconnect.
He'd gain no knowledge of her release or anything of that nature, but he would gain an understanding of what they were up against. If Kazura could help her control the hollow, he'd not only defeat a possible threat to the Land of the Living like Beast, but he might potentially gain an ally. So he was going to give this all that he could muster.
