∞ 76: Preparations for battle [written]

How disappointing. One would think the Malnosso would compile their willing volunteers instead of taking risks like this.


[Directed towards the drafted residents (even if they refused to go)]

Though some of you have already said you will not participate, I am reminding you that your request has been "noted" and nothing more. It's still entirely possible the scientists will find a way to force you to go. This is said as a precaution; do not presume you will be allowed to stay, and prepare accordingly. There must be a reason they gave such a specific list instead of calling for volunteers to report in.

That said, if any of you wish to participate in planning, or feel the need to go into this battle with some ideas in mind, know that I will coordinate with you as best I can.
I expect we will have a few who will do what they wish out there alone, regardless of any tactics, but the majority will benefit from cooperative attacks.

For those who are unaware, we had previously fought against 300 individuals with a combat force of approximately 150. That battle lasted about two days, with complete elimination of the intruders. The disadvantages this time around are obvious; we will be the invading force with much smaller numbers and on unfamiliar terrain, thus leading to greater risks of fatigue and death.

Ted, I would like to speak with you before this reporting date.


[Filtered to Luc and Hugo]

Luc, Hugo. If you are up to some longer-term practice, I would like to speak with you.

How have you been doing with your tunneling, Simon?


[Off-journal communication to Yuber]

I believe it is time that I add a clause to the contract.

Okay, maybe a very big bit. [She stops to smile, sitting back from the journal.] But I've just got this beautiful talent for understatement and it'd be a shame to let it go to waste.

[Pause.] It'd be pretty useless for me to say good luck or stay safe, right? So--Albert--don't go doing anything I wouldn't do. I'd hate to lose my shiny new Watcher.

[This, oh great strategist, is her way of letting you know the experiment might have been weird and freaky but she had been sincere.]

And you'll tell me all about it, when you get back? I'm bound to be going sometime. I wanna know what to expect.

Oh--do you know anyone else you're being thrown to the dogs with?

And, do you mind if I get a little nosey? I mean--what did you ask the Malnosso for, in return for your expert strategy skills?
