Kisheto's eyes brightened as he saw Ishigo step out from the shuttle. He felt like he had hundreds of questions to ask him, but he knew not was not the time or place. Instead, he simply tried his best to keep cool and act nonchalant. "What's your plan, big guy?" he said leaning back and crossing his arms. Ishigo walked towards the group and looked around at each of their faces.

Ishigo stood gathering his thoughts, which swirled around his mind, conflicting and conquering one another. What was he to tell his people? What could he tell them? Taking a deep breath, he focused and began. "We've been through a lot. All of us." Ishigo looked up at the sky for a moment, thinking and reflecting on what this group had just endured. "We've lost men," he said, looking to Kisheto and Yugeto. He could feel their anger, despite it being buried beneath their calm, outward demeanor. "We [i]will[/i] avenge them. But not now, we have priorities. What we must do is survive. That's what we are: survivors. And the best way to survive is to stick together, through thick and thin. I know it may look like it, but we aren't free yet. Who knows what awaits at every corner that we turn? For all we know, Sovereign's wall could extend far past the city. All of Leginia may be our prison, for that matter. If the military is hunting us down like [i]animals[/i], what do you think the people of this land will feel about us?"

Ishigo felt a chill run down his spine. He felt like a fugitive, and it sickened him. "I don't know what intentions most of you have, but I can guarantee you this. If you come with me, I [i]will[/i] keep you safe. I give you my word, and I never go back on it. But should you choose to depart..." 

Ishigo looked to his side, "Be wary. We're in a new world."

Kisheto, having remained silent throughout Ishigo's speech, looked on wide-eyed. Realization seemed to keep on creeping up on him. He finally felt the first few stings of fear settle in his conscience. Ishigo looked to the campfire, "We're going to Kell. It is a few miles North East of here, we can reach it by sticking to the woods. We'll park far from the city and travel in as a group, though we may have to split off into pairs." Ishigo pointed back to the shuttle, "You can restablish comms with the shuttles signal. Do it if your holocom isn't already activated, we'll need to say in touch in case things go bad. Once we get the kinetic cores...

We're heading to Vantus." 

Kisheto's face lit up as he heard the mention of his hometown. "Vantus? Shit, that's where I was born!" he said excitedly. It had been years since he had seen his home, and he hadn't heard from his father since the incident. He had no idea what awaited him back at his city. Ishigo nodded, "Likewise. It's a big city, and I have a lot of connections. We can lay low and figure out what we're going to do there. But every minute spent idling out in the open is a shovel of dirt in our graves. So decide quickly, we're to move out before dawn."
