Miyu seems impressed by the fact that Torag is at least trying to come up with a more in depth strategy than "CHARGE GLORY ANGELS RAAAH!", and a little flattered at the personal recognition, more used to be being a black sheep. That in mind, she tries to shape up a little, standing slightly more to attention and putting the magazine away. That said, after she works over the plan in her head a bit.. Miyu's left eye gives a slight twitch, and her tone implies that she reaaaaaly reaaaaaly hopes she's misunderstanding the plan, because she wants to like Torag and his plan.

[color=a2d39c]"Barring the fact that the Machina aren't currently located at the objective, isn't that nearly exactly what our plan was last time? Send the majority of our forces to attack the Machina and get slaughtered by enemies they are exceedingly vulnerable against, while a few infiltrators isolate themselves and get captured or killed against opponents they should have the advantage against but are overwhelmingly outnumbered by?"[/color] 

[color=a2d39c]"I mean, if your plan works out exactly as you expect it to, you can expect to fight the Machina forces, outnumbered 1.5 to 1 by enemies you have a disadvantage to. And we can expect to fight the machina forces outnumbered 3 to 1 by enemies we have an advantage against, but not that much of an advantage. I mean, maybe, maybe, terrain would let us win this, but that's A. Depending on us getting there and having time to set up before the demons, when they're the ones with teleportation magic that might very well bypass the terrain or traps even if we did get it set up. B. Assuming we're smarter than them and they make mistakes. C. Relying on Angels to be good at Deception, Entrenchment, and Close Quarters Combat without a mobility advantage. D. Assuming the ruins aren't already defended by someone's advance forces or scouts. Just because we didn't spot them doesn't mean they might not be there. All it takes is one cloaking field or tricky demon ability."[/color]

[color=a2d39c]"If we had someone who could summon or specialize in traps, like maybe some artificer dwarves, or some illusion mages to mask our approach, or water mages or great fast beasts, or best of all, all of them, maybe that'd help with A, B, and C, but that still leaves D or their teleportation magic as a problem. And that still does nothing to solve that fact that unless you're the greatest tactician or warrior in Nexus, you'll get soundly defeated, and a relatively fresh Machina force will fall on us after we've won at best a razor close victory at the ruins."[/color]

[color=a2d39c]"In summary, it's not the worst plan, and I can think of resources that might help, but it requires on our enemies doing enough things wrong, or us getting lucky enough to solve it's problems. If either of our split forces get caught in the open, they'll get annihilated, and even if the plan works, it'll make us fight the entirety of the Machina and Demon forces alone, without Machina or Demon forces ever engaging each other until our forces are eliminated. And that's before we even start considering that the enemy might do things we're not expecting and not play nice to our plan. It makes me think simply rushing for the objective and hoping to prey on enemy mistakes and opportunities as we see them seems to have better chances of victory. And I'm not fond of that plan's chances either."[/color]

Miyu fidgets for a few moments, her mouth opening and closing ever so slightly. Fighting the urge to say more. She fails.

[color=a2d39c]"And, in rock paper scissors terms, you're sending me, one of the few Anti-Machina specialists in the Angelic forces whose greatest strength is the ability to shield allies from artillery and ranged fire, against demons in close quarters, and yourself, an incredibly potent weapon against demons, and immune to so many of their greatest weapons and to any traps that might be laid in the ruins, against Machina in the open field.[/color]

Miyu is trying hard to keep at least a slightly respectful tone, but she's struggling.
