Bald Eagle: That is what we are here for.  
 
Bald Eagle: That is what we are here for.

 +
Lightwave: Ah, alright then. NOW I think I'm on the same page. So all we need to do is stop that tower from being destroyed.
 +
 +
Bald Eagle: I believe so. But we still need to be careful.
 +
 +
Bald Eagle: The Warlord will be adaptable.
 +
 +
Bald Eagle: His tactics may change mid-battle, I will do my best to counter this.
 +
 +
Bald Eagle: But I'll be honest, I don't think I've faced a foe as keen minded since die Uradel.
 +
 +
Lightwave: Eeeeegh. Good thing you're here, I'm terrible at tactics.
 +
 +
Bald Eagle: And this will be the first time I have been in a combat situation involving modern technology.
 +
 +
Bald Eagle: I think I have done the research, but experience is key.
 +
 +
Lightwave: Colonel, do you think we might be able to get our hands on some portable forcefield generators?
 +
 +
Sir Winston Slashybite: Roger that, Lightwave.
 +
 +
Sir Winston Slashybite: I can get you as many as can fit in the hull of your aerial vehicle.
 +
 +
Bald Eagle: I doubt you could. They are expensive and experimental.
 +
 +
Lightwave: Doesn't hurt to try, eh?
 +
 +
Bald Eagle: Even your potential for requisitioning us everything we need is unlikely to get us more than a few.
 +
 +
Lightwave: What's the situation there with power? Is the base powered by it's own grid, or the surrounding area's grid?
 +
 +
Sir Winston Slashybite: Eagle, The ones we have are not full spherical generators but rather stationary portable barriers. They would be useful for cover.
 +
 +
Bald Eagle: Independant generators.
 +
 +
Lightwave: Any solar panels?
 +
 +
Bald Eagle: Some, but it does not rely on them.
 +
 +
Lightwave: Any chance of hooking some up, if only for the communications?
 +
 +
Lightwave: If it comes to him destroying the generators, of course.
 +
Bald Eagle: If it comes to that, we have already lost.
 +
 +
Lightwave: Hm. Right then.
 +
 +
Lightwave crosses her arms and thinks.
 +
 +
Sir Winston Slashybite: We should also be aware of any jamming equipment the Warlord has.
 +
 +
Fianna nods to the collected group. "Update me on our decision. I need to deal with some...local issues."
 +
 +
Bald Eagle looks at Fianna and nods.
 +
 +
Fianna excuses herself.
 +
 +
Bald Eagle: It is generally a simple matter, I believe. Do not worry about the other situations.
 +
 +
Bald Eagle: In my experience, while the planner should consider every possibility, those fighting need only be informed when the problem arises.
 +
 +
Bald Eagle: It keeps focus and clarity.
 +
 +
Angelight: Hrm?
 +
 +
Angelight: ... Ah. Excuse me. I'm being yelled out.
 +
 +
Angelight: Silly people...
 +
 +
Bald Eagle sighs.
 +
 +
Bald Eagle: Fine.
 +
 +
Angelight: ... I have a company to run.
 +
 +
Bald Eagle: I have an island to save.
 +
 +
Lightwave: Reliable communications...do WE have it?
 +
 +
Sir Winston Slashybite: Depending on the battlefield environment?
 +
 +
Sir Winston Slashybite: With jamming, no.
 +
 +
Sir Winston Slashybite: We do have some experimental optic/laser communication devices that can't be jammed though.
 +
 +
Lightwave: Ho boy, that'll be interesting to see.
 +
 +
Sir Winston Slashybite: But they have range limitations.
 +
 +
Lightwave: I am willing to bet I can double that.
 +
 +
Bald Eagle: An island won't work.
 +
 +
Bald Eagle: Warlord will pick for weather.
 +
 +
Bald Eagle: Foggy, dark, etc etc.
 +
 +
Bald Eagle: It's why I do not think the solar panels are relevant.
 +
 +
Lightwave: I was more saying that if we really had to, I could focus on powering them
 +
.
 +
Sir Winston Slashybite: I team telepath would be useful.
 +
 +
Lightwave: Might be, uh...difficult. I've got some experimental psionic dampeners in my helmet. I can turn them off, but if they have any psychics, I'm FUBAR'd.
 +
 +
Bald Eagle: In honesty, I'm hesitant to rely on anything experimental.
 +
 +
Lightwave: Worst case scenario, they just fizzle out.
 +
 +
Bald Eagle: Well, this meeting yielded interesting results.
 +
 +
Lightwave: Sorry that I'm not of more help at the moment.
 +
 +
Bald Eagle: Not at all.
 +
 +
Bald Eagle: But too many questions that aren't immediately relevant skew focus. For now, our only concern is succesfully keeping the War Machine at bay.
 +
 +
Bald Eagle: If something else becomes a concern, I will adjust and we will react.
 +
 +
Lightwave nods*.
 +
Bald Eagle: I don't blame you. A few of the Frontliners were similar.
 +
 +
Bald Eagle: Bannon was always trying to understand every possibility.
 +
 +
Bald Eagle: All it did was distract and keep us from keeping on target.
 +
 +
Sir Winston Slashybite: Focus and adapt.
 +
 +
Bald Eagle: A true tactician needs not plan for every potentiality.
 +
 +
Bald Eagle: He need only be able to react to it.
 +
 +
Bald Eagle: Think of it like Chess. I could memorize every possible game. But there would be far too many, I would forget them during the game.
 +
 +
Bald Eagle: So you must instead learn how to react to the flow of the game.
 +
 +
Lightwave: Hm. I can see your point, yeah.
 +
 +
Lightwave: And who can adapt faster than a superspeeder, heh. *she rubs her nose*
 +
 +
Bald Eagle: That depends on whether you think as fast as you move.
 +
 +
Lightwave: I have to, otherwise I'd run into things and trip over stuff.
 +
 +
Lightwave: As long as my aura is on anyway.
 +
 +
Bald Eagle: Good. I'm going to spend my evening reading.
 +
 +
Sir Winston Slashybite: Good luck. Both of you.
 +
 +
Bald Eagle: Winston, have them send a copy of Mein Kampf to my quarters.
 +
 +
Lightwave: I'll head over to japan, see what information I can get from my broker.
 +
 +
Bald Eagle holds a hand out to Lightwave.
 +
 +
Lightwave takes his hand and shakes it! "It's nice to meet you, and good luck! "
 +
 +
Bald Eagle: [Japanese] <Good evening and the same to you.>

GSA meeting02.jpg

Angelight would stop after having backflipped on in. She rested a hand to her hip with the usual smile. "A pleasure, Mr. Winston."

Sir Winston Slashybite approaches Angelight with his datapad. He nods "Welcome to UNTIL, Ms. Conners. It is an honor to have you join us here. I assume you've heard about what we are offering?"

Angelight: Mhm. I got the information. I must say, I am a bit surprised. I didn't think I'd get such a call from UNTIL.

Sir Winston Slashybite nods. "America holds you in high regards. I think you'll work well with Bald Eagle."

Bald Eagle leans on the railing nearby and watches for a few moments before reading the headlines on a newspaper in his hands.

Angelight: ... Ah, the gentleman I had met days earlier?

Sir Winston Slashybite nods and gives a glance over to the railing a moment and then back to Angelight. "One in the same. You...are aware of what our directive is, yes? We're going to be hands off. Your group will be agile."

Sir Winston Slashybite: You get the resources, satellite time, air time and equipment you need to get the job done.

Angelight nods once, her hands resting on her hips in a relaxed manner, "Mn. Of course I do. But I will warn you."

Angelight: I do not intend to stop my efforts to clean up the streets when my services aren't required.

Bald Eagle glances up at Battle Austria before turning his newspaper a page, reading page two.

Sir Winston Slashybite nods. "Understood. But we'll neeed you there when your team needs you. Operations can be at the drop of a hat. The GLASS system should keep you up to date."

Angelight: Understood, sir. I've learnt how to change my.... schedule in a split second.

Sir Winston Slashybite: Care to meet some of the other members, Ms. Conners?

Fianna lands with a flutter of wings and a boom, then folds them up, dusting her hands off.

Sir Winston Slashybite waves at Fianna.

Bald Eagle: Hm.

Bald Eagle: "Frontliners, fall in."

Bald Eagle chuckles and folds the newspaper up, tucking it under his arm.

Angelight turns to face some with a smile. "Of course. I've met one already... but I do see one new face."

Bald Eagle: You'll see two more if you look to your right and left.

Angelight: Hrm?

Sir Winston Slashybite nods his head to Eagle. He steps away to let the team interact.

Battle Austria: Oom, kvite.

Lionheart carries himself into the building with a leisurely grace. From his poise and bearing, he's blatantly Lionheart. "Good evening. I see we've picked up a new face or two."

Angelight: I see... A pleasure. I am called Angelight when wearing the costume but, in these times? You may call me Creda. It is a pleasure.

Bald Eagle: The Angelight I know, Fianna, I've read your file, glad to have your skillset.

Fianna nods to Eagle, her arms crossed, mighty warsword on her back. "As I've your's. A pleasure."

Battle Austria: Oom, vhy helloh Aungelyteh. I aum Bauttle Austriah.

Lionheart: I am formally known as Sir Richard Ashbury, otherwise known as Lionheart. 'Richard' generally suffices - especially since I've neglected to bring the tights.

Lionheart: A pleasure to meet you all.

Bald Eagle nods to Lionheart, then glances at the other three before heading towards the holotable.

Angelight: A pleasure to meet you, Richard... I must say, love the suit.

Fianna: Fiona Mór-Ríoghain. Better known as Fianna.

War-Noble: "Well, safe to say I'm impressed."

Sir Winston Slashybite: We've uploaded the latest intel spots, Eagle.

Bald Eagle presses a button on the screen and observes as the map zooms in on a few particular spots.

Lionheart: Indeed? Believe me, madam, the feeling is mutual.

Angelight: A pleasure, Fiona! ... Mn, I do need to get better at my greetings...

Bald Eagle: Red Legion assault on the Pantheon, foiled, interesting result. VIPER movement in Scandinavia, just as Beowulf suggested.

Boomer: Major Kwame there handles deployments against VIPER interests.

Boomer : Major Bodreau handles supernatural and DEMON activity.

Sir Winston Slashybite salutes Boomer.

War-Noble nods, listening intently.

Sir Winston Slashybite: Commander Wolcott.

Bald Eagle: Supposed Eurostar terrorism was actually an unknown organization? Curious.

Bald Eagle glances up at Boomer, offering the slightest nod before looking back down to the screen.

Battle Austria: 'Macht nach unten,' Sebastian turned the dial on his belt in a curious, hidden manor, the EBS disappearing to somewhere unknown.

Boomer: Afternoon Colonel.

Angelight: So tell me a little bit about yourselves. All new faces, for me.

Sir Winston Slashybite lights his pipe and nods to Boomer. "Good to see you, ma'm."

Battle Austria: I aum Viscoont Sebaustrian Kroogah, a major vith vhe Austrian Armed Speshial Foorces Hoonting Coomaund.

Fianna grins, broadly. "If you've not been to the Emerald Isle, I'm unsurprised that you've not heard of me. Daughter of the Morrigan, goddesses of war. Been defending the Eire for as long as I could lift a blade."

Bald Eagle: Red Winter's lead a series of bank robberies across civilized Russia?

Bald Eagle: Why do they want money? I thought they were well funded.

Katerra: Giving the tour?

Boomer: Just showing James around the new command center. he's been away for a bit.

Sir Winston Slashybite: We found that troubling as well. We're not sure if it's a ruse to force Putin's hand or what.

Sir Winston Slashybite: Could also be a feint to test what hero forces might come to intercept them.

Bald Eagle: I'll keep an eye on it.

Angelight: Mmn... I'm afraid I'm not that interesting. I'm the CEO of a local toy company, funding in charities and promoting safe products... such as a bear won't shoot you down with a gun.

Angelight: Due to circumstance, my identity has been publicly known.

Sir Winston Slashybite: Eagle. Fianna mentioned that she has had some tangles with the Warlord.

Fianna chuckles. "I'd not worry overly of a public identity. I had no luck hiding mine."

Battle Austria: Oom, please excoose me foor avhile?

Sir Winston Slashybite: I'm hoping some her knowledge might help in the planning.

Bald Eagle: Yes? Could do.

Bald Eagle: That depends on whether she has fought the War Machine or the Shadow Army. We'll be facing the former.

Angelight: Well! That makes it the two of us then, Fiona.

Lionheart: Daughter of the Morrigan, you say? We have our very own demigod? Capital. Although *now* I wish I'd make a more memorable entrance. First impressions count for much where divinity is concerned, I've found.

Bald Eagle: But any intel is useful, of course.

Fianna laughs, loudly. "Have no fear! I'm not as judgemental as some others you may have met."

Lionheart: I've never troubled myself with a secret identity, either. Richard Ashbury is Lionheart, and Lionheart is Richard Ashbury. I see no compelling reason to hide behind a mask - save for dramatic effect.

Sir Winston Slashybite: I beleive it was the Shadow Army, actually that she mentioned.

Bald Eagle: Well, that could still be useful, if things don't go as planned.

Angelight: Well then I can admit I enjoy a good glass of wine ever so often!

Fianna: Despite appearances, I'm partial to cooked meals and things other than ale.

Fianna winks.

Angelight: Good! We'll get along marveously!

Lionheart: I've yet to meet a crime-fighter who *doesn't* indulge themselves in drink whenever the opportunity arises. Myself included, naturally.

Bald Eagle: I haven't had a drink in 20 years.

Bald Eagle: Which would actually be... 80 years, for you.

Angelight: Well, looks like you found one.

Lionheart: Ever the professional, Eagle.

Bald Eagle: When you've lived my life, it becomes a habit.

Sir Winston Slashybite: How are these soda machines still out of order?

Angelight: Well. Seems we'll have -plenty- of adventures together.

Bald Eagle: Yes. Speaking of which, how familiar are you with Okinawa?

Fianna: Good! Tis lonely work sometimes.

Fianna looks at Eagle. "Japan, yes? I've not had the opportunity to visit."

Lionheart: That is the prevailing idea, yes. Although I imagine *someone* here might be adverse to labelling them as 'adventures'.

Bald Eagle: Don't be so sure. I travelled with an... "adventurous" crowd.

Angelight: I've heard of Okinawa... Can't say I've been there, personally.

Bald Eagle: Aren't you lucky, its the perfect spot for a vacation.

Bald Eagle: Sun, sea, US military base, War Machine attack.

Fianna grins, then looks at Eagle. "I've been asked to share my experiences with the Warlord with you, when you've time. For the moment, I need to excuse myself. I look forward to working with you all."

Bald Eagle: Of course.

Lionheart: Be seeing you, madam.

Angelight: Mmn. I haven;t been on vacation for a few years... Perhaps one day, if I ever decide to take one.

Fianna unfurls two massive raven wings from her back, then takes off.

Bald Eagle: Oh, travel expenses paid for.


GSA meeting03.jpg


El Toro nods. "I am, indeed. " He nods towards the rest. "I'm glad to finally meet a few members of the team."

Bald Eagle: I'm glad to have your skillset. We need a tech user.

Thunder Thrasher: So I’m guessing you are world representatives?

Lionheart: Sir Richard Ashbury, otherwise known as Lionheart. You might perchance have heard of me.

Bald Eagle: I believe the others are. I haven't served the US government in years.

Lionheart: World representatives? That's about the sum of it, yes. You are unfamiliar with the Global Superhero Accord, I take it?

El Toro: "Ah, yes the United Kingdom's rep. I've seen you in the headlines a few times. And I'm happy to be of service."

African Violet makes her way toward the group and nods, standing quietly near Angelight. " 'ello all."

Lionheart: Good afternoon, Thandi.

Bald Eagle: Thandi.

Bald Eagle nods.

El Toro turns towards Violet. "Hmm..and you are, South Africas rep if I am correct?" * He turns towards Angelight* "And the female U.S. representative?"

African Violet: Hi Richard. *She glances over at El Toro* "Slick armor." She then turns to Bald Eagle. "Hi Eagle."

Angelight: El Toro represents Spain and I believe Richard is the UK... Who do you represent, miss?

African Violet: South Africa, miss. You're the new American representative? Nice!

Angelight: ...well, I suppose I am. The Bald Eagle has more standing then I do.

El Toro: "Oh! That reminds me." He turns to Bald Eagle "Colonel Slashybite said you were considering Pacific as our first theater of operations?"

Bald Eagle: Specifically the Okinawa US military base.

El Toro nods. "I see, the U.S. Army doesn't mind us poking around?"

Bald Eagle: They owe me for helping them take that damn island in the first place.

El Toro laughs. "I'll follow your lead then, anything you need me to take a look at beforehand? Or anyone for that matter."

Bald Eagle: Yes. Research the Warlord.

Bald Eagle: All of you. Specifically the War Machine.

Angelight: I'll do what I can. As a CEO, I will not have much weight... but I suppose I could do what I can.

Bald Eagle: I want you all aware of common tactics, weaponry, powers, etc.

African Violet: This is going to be quite difficult. Do you have any idea how long this intelligence will be actionable, Eagle?

Lionheart: I have done some basic factfinding in that regard. Beyond, I might add, typing 'war machine' into a google search bar.

Bald Eagle: That would yield some good results. Youtube videos, maybe.

El Toro lets out a low whistle. "Warlord, huh. I'll have some serious work to do.."

Bald Eagle: Youtube has been very useful for initial studies.

Angelight: ... and cat videos.

Thunder Thrasher: you people seem very interesting

African Violet giggles at the mention of cat videos. "Lots of those."

Bald Eagle: Particularily, I want you up to date on the four offensive members of the War Machine, Warbird, Warcry, Warhead and Warpath.

Lionheart: Of course we're very interesting. Our respective nations would hardly pick *dull* representatives, now would they?

Bald Eagle: Warmonger is a support, the only concern there is if she targets you. But I can deal with her quickly, if possible.

El Toro: "What level of technology are they using?"

Angelight: Well, one thing is clear... He isn't very original when it comes to names. I'll look what I can on them.

Bald Eagle: Warbird and Warhead use advanced powersuits. Flight capable, heavy weaponry.

Bald Eagle: Warpath uses a bow with numerous types of high-tech arrows.

Angelight: ...Really.

El Toro: "How are we in regards to flying members?" He looks around.

Bald Eagle: Fianna can fly, I know that much.

Lionheart: I noted that Fianna girl sprouting a pair of wings as she departed.

Angelight: I'm not much of a flyer, I'm afraid.

Lionheart: And I can defy gravity myself, when the situation warrants.

African Violet: I can....teleport.

El Toro: "Well, we best make sure they aren't flight capable should we come to blows with them, I'd venture they are very experienced at aerial combat?"

Bald Eagle: Warbird is very much so.

Bald Eagle: Warhead typically lands when he is firing his more powerful weaponry.

Lionheart: During which time, I assume, he is vulnerable to close-range assault?

Bald Eagle: If you can close the gap before he attacks, yes.

El Toro: "I may have something that can keep them down for awhile, no promises though." He plays with his gauntlet a bit, sifting through information.

African Violet: Not....very vulnerable I'm afraid.

Bald Eagle: But don't worry too much. A US base will have Anti-air weapons on hand.

El Toro doesn't look up from his gauntlet. "Assuming we fight them nearby."

Angelight: Still, should we not be aware on what each of us are capable of?

El Toro: "If I may, I think we will need a few practices, get to learn each others abilities and how we fight."

African Violet: I think some practicing is a great idea.

Bald Eagle: Of course. Chess, anyone?

Angelight: .... Dear?

Angelight: We are purchasing modern magazines for you.

African Violet: I kinda like the retro look.

Bald Eagle: I've seen them.

Bald Eagle: Gossip trash.

Lionheart: I'm partial to Chess in the right... atmosphere. But I believe El Toro was referring to more... physical practice sessions. Sparring matches, say.

El Toro chuckles. "I agree."

Angelight: Some are gossip trash, yes, but it may introduce you to a few more modern activities.

Bald Eagle: Are you saying people don't play chess anymore?

El Toro: "Testing each others minds is not a bad way to learn how another thinks, your mind is your deadliest weapon." He stops playing with his gauntlet.

Angelight: Not as they used to.

Bald Eagle: People rarely did in my day, anyway.

Bald Eagle: I had to rely on Bannon.

Bald Eagle: A good opponent, by all accounts, but an engineer more than a tactician.

El Toro: "I'll join you. I haven't had a good match in years."

Angelight: ... Besides, my father and sister adored chess. I never understood why.

Bald Eagle: Excellent.

African Violet: I would love to watch that.

Bald Eagle: The rest of you, exchange your traits nearby before you fight.

Bald Eagle: Never enter a fight without knowledge of the opponent.

Battle Austria: Oom, it is a good gaume.

Lionheart: Well, then. Who wishes to divulge the nature of their abilities first?


GSA meeting06.jpg

Angelight: You'll have to forgive the attire. I was in a... meeting, with a CEO of another company.

Lightwave offers a rather small wave.

Bald Eagle folds his arms.

Sir Winston Slashybite: No apologies needed, Ms. Conners. Lightwave, welcome to UNTIL.

Fianna has her arms folded across her chest, nodding to each hero in turn.

Bald Eagle: What a turn out.

Lightwave looks to her left, then her right "This all of the people? "


Bald Eagle: At least you are here, Lightwave.

Sir Winston Slashybite: I think Lightwave's expertise on Japan will be crucial to helping plan this.

Lightwave: So what exactly ARE we planning, then? I'm a little out of the loop, I think.

Bald Eagle: I will start by asking what you know about the Warlord.

Lightwave: Hm. That's the big alien that is trying to take us down, right? Or is that warmonger...

Bald Eagle stares for a moment.

Bald Eagle: I don't think I know anything about that, but no.

Bald Eagle: He is not an alien.

Lightwave: Well, wait. The name does sound familiar. I know Tetsuronin went a few rounds with a guy with a similar name.

Bald Eagle: Similar? It was him.

Bald Eagle: In fact, he encountered him again a few weeks ago.

Lightwave: Hm. What's he trying this time?

Bald Eagle: Triangulating the movement speed of the Flying Fortress, its potential travel distance in time between its last sighting in Western Australia, and the proximity to the sighting:

Bald Eagle: I believe he is going to attack the US military base in Okinawa.

Lightwave: Well shit.

Angelight crossed her arms as she listened quietly.

Sir Winston Slashybite: The U.S. pulled out half of their marines early last month.

Sir Winston Slashybite: It leaves Okinawa a ripe target with only a variety of support troops left on the island.

Bald Eagle: The weakened force, while still formidable, is going to find it hard to fight off an assault by the War Machine and the Shadow Army.

Bald Eagle: But I have determined their most likely tactics. The Warlord will send in the War Machine, using Warmonger's telepathic powers to cause the marines to fight each other. In the chaos, the team will-

Bald Eagle: -move in and disable communications.

Bald Eagle: With communications disabled, the Shadow Army can begin its full assault unhindered with little chance for backup.

Lightwave: Hm. Well, I can try to pull some strings and get in touch with Tetsuronin, but I wouldn't count on it, he's damn busy.

Bald Eagle: As I expected. I was not going to contact him unless Warlord himself arrived on the field.

Bald Eagle: Which is entirely possible.

Sir Winston Slashybite: We also likely can't call on any of the Tokyo superheroes.

Bald Eagle: Yes. I fear that that may be Warlord's entire aim.

Lightwave crosses her arms, thinking quietly for a moment.

Bald Eagle: Driving away the capitals primary defenders would leave the city open to an assault, a classic feint.

Lightwave: Well, what resources do we have at our disposal, outside of Japan.

Sir Winston Slashybite: And if he's attacking Okinawa. It is unlikely China's Tiger Squad would get involved. It's likely they would stay out of his way given Sino-Japanese relations.

Lightwave: Yeah, well, I'm not going to comment on that one.

Sir Winston Slashybite: Eagle...any chance some of the Japanese villains might be aiding the Warlord in this attack?

Lightwave: Well, he's got a giant flying freakin' fortress. Any chance at an orbital sattelite strike on it? I know there are plenty metas with their own orbital cannons.

Fianna: Risky. The Fortress is well defended.

Sir Winston Slashybite: And stealth technology.

Lightwave: Dammit. I can't do much without actually getting in touch with the government and metas there.

Angelight: Hrmm...

Angelight: ... What about little ol' me?

Bald Eagle: Yes, and I don't believe it'll be near the island.

Bald Eagle: Oh don't worry. You'll be useful.

Angelight would stare to the map. "Not what I mean."

Angelight: Like... Do you need someone to enter Japan without suspicion?

Bald Eagle: No.

Bald Eagle: And not to suggest anything, but you are a CEO with a public hero identity.

Sir Winston Slashybite: I fear a beautiful blonde in Japan would be suspicious.

Bald Eagle: You are an obvious person.

Angelight: A CEO with a public hero identity... running a company for toys and other child-like products. But, nevermind!

Bald Eagle: And yet you are still a hero. Japan arguably has a greater love of heroes, especially foreign ones, than America.

Lightwave laughs. "Believe me, a blonde american girl wouldn't go unnoticed in Japan."

Sir Winston Slashybite chuckles. "Right you are, Lightwave."

Bald Eagle: But no, my statement in the negative was due to the fact the Warlord is unlikely to be using subtlety.

Lightwave: I could poke a few of my contacts, see what the word is with the baddies there.

Bald Eagle: He is a warmaker of the most standard degree. If he will take Okinawa, he will take it with force by taking advantage of their weakened state.

Sir Winston Slashybite: If you can, Lightwave. I think the Iron Dragon has been off grid for a bit.

Bald Eagle: Tetsuryu is unlikely to be a problem, but keep an eye out.

Bald Eagle: Our main objective is to ensure the communications in the base do not go offline.

Lightwave: Should be simple, I know an information broker that owes me a few favors.

Lightwave: Do we know any mystic types that could set them up with some alternate communication method should the need arise?

Bald Eagle: That depends if you believe the government has a means of receiving that communication.

Lightwave: Ah, right...

Bald Eagle: The Warlord will be worried primarily about fast response reinforcements. The communcations tower is the link to that.

Bald Eagle: As soon as the War Machine knock out that tower, the Shadow Army will have a window of opportunity.

Bald Eagle: We stop the War Machine, we stop that chance.

Lightwave: I could take a few heroes with me to defend it if we need to.

Bald Eagle: Well, yes.

Bald Eagle: That is what we are here for.

Lightwave: Ah, alright then. NOW I think I'm on the same page. So all we need to do is stop that tower from being destroyed.

Bald Eagle: I believe so. But we still need to be careful.

Bald Eagle: The Warlord will be adaptable.

Bald Eagle: His tactics may change mid-battle, I will do my best to counter this.

Bald Eagle: But I'll be honest, I don't think I've faced a foe as keen minded since die Uradel.

Lightwave: Eeeeegh. Good thing you're here, I'm terrible at tactics.

Bald Eagle: And this will be the first time I have been in a combat situation involving modern technology.

Bald Eagle: I think I have done the research, but experience is key.

Lightwave: Colonel, do you think we might be able to get our hands on some portable forcefield generators?

Sir Winston Slashybite: Roger that, Lightwave.

Sir Winston Slashybite: I can get you as many as can fit in the hull of your aerial vehicle.

Bald Eagle: I doubt you could. They are expensive and experimental.

Lightwave: Doesn't hurt to try, eh?

Bald Eagle: Even your potential for requisitioning us everything we need is unlikely to get us more than a few.

Lightwave: What's the situation there with power? Is the base powered by it's own grid, or the surrounding area's grid?

Sir Winston Slashybite: Eagle, The ones we have are not full spherical generators but rather stationary portable barriers. They would be useful for cover.

Bald Eagle: Independant generators.

Lightwave: Any solar panels?

Bald Eagle: Some, but it does not rely on them.

Lightwave: Any chance of hooking some up, if only for the communications?

Lightwave: If it comes to him destroying the generators, of course. Bald Eagle: If it comes to that, we have already lost.

Lightwave: Hm. Right then.

Lightwave crosses her arms and thinks.

Sir Winston Slashybite: We should also be aware of any jamming equipment the Warlord has.

Fianna nods to the collected group. "Update me on our decision. I need to deal with some...local issues."

Bald Eagle looks at Fianna and nods.

Fianna excuses herself.

Bald Eagle: It is generally a simple matter, I believe. Do not worry about the other situations.

Bald Eagle: In my experience, while the planner should consider every possibility, those fighting need only be informed when the problem arises.

Bald Eagle: It keeps focus and clarity.

Angelight: Hrm?

Angelight: ... Ah. Excuse me. I'm being yelled out.

Angelight: Silly people...

Bald Eagle sighs.

Bald Eagle: Fine.

Angelight: ... I have a company to run.

Bald Eagle: I have an island to save.

Lightwave: Reliable communications...do WE have it?

Sir Winston Slashybite: Depending on the battlefield environment?

Sir Winston Slashybite: With jamming, no.

Sir Winston Slashybite: We do have some experimental optic/laser communication devices that can't be jammed though.

Lightwave: Ho boy, that'll be interesting to see.

Sir Winston Slashybite: But they have range limitations.

Lightwave: I am willing to bet I can double that.

Bald Eagle: An island won't work.

Bald Eagle: Warlord will pick for weather.

Bald Eagle: Foggy, dark, etc etc.

Bald Eagle: It's why I do not think the solar panels are relevant.

Lightwave: I was more saying that if we really had to, I could focus on powering them . Sir Winston Slashybite: I team telepath would be useful.

Lightwave: Might be, uh...difficult. I've got some experimental psionic dampeners in my helmet. I can turn them off, but if they have any psychics, I'm FUBAR'd.

Bald Eagle: In honesty, I'm hesitant to rely on anything experimental.

Lightwave: Worst case scenario, they just fizzle out.

Bald Eagle: Well, this meeting yielded interesting results.

Lightwave: Sorry that I'm not of more help at the moment.

Bald Eagle: Not at all.

Bald Eagle: But too many questions that aren't immediately relevant skew focus. For now, our only concern is succesfully keeping the War Machine at bay.

Bald Eagle: If something else becomes a concern, I will adjust and we will react.

Lightwave nods*. Bald Eagle: I don't blame you. A few of the Frontliners were similar.

Bald Eagle: Bannon was always trying to understand every possibility.

Bald Eagle: All it did was distract and keep us from keeping on target.

Sir Winston Slashybite: Focus and adapt.

Bald Eagle: A true tactician needs not plan for every potentiality.

Bald Eagle: He need only be able to react to it.

Bald Eagle: Think of it like Chess. I could memorize every possible game. But there would be far too many, I would forget them during the game.

Bald Eagle: So you must instead learn how to react to the flow of the game.

Lightwave: Hm. I can see your point, yeah.

Lightwave: And who can adapt faster than a superspeeder, heh. *she rubs her nose*

Bald Eagle: That depends on whether you think as fast as you move.

Lightwave: I have to, otherwise I'd run into things and trip over stuff.

Lightwave: As long as my aura is on anyway.

Bald Eagle: Good. I'm going to spend my evening reading.

Sir Winston Slashybite: Good luck. Both of you.

Bald Eagle: Winston, have them send a copy of Mein Kampf to my quarters.

Lightwave: I'll head over to japan, see what information I can get from my broker.

Bald Eagle holds a hand out to Lightwave.

Lightwave takes his hand and shakes it! "It's nice to meet you, and good luck! "

Bald Eagle: [Japanese] <Good evening and the same to you.>
