Ishaq listened as the commanding officer explained what forces the enemy was expected to have, and shared Robert's cynicism. There would likely be casualties. But then again, tactics was not his strong point. Looking around the room, it seemed that Callie also functioned more as support and transport, making Robert the most likely target of Ishaq's Noble Arm. "I've always just followed orders, and let others use my ability as they saw fit," Ishaq said with some resignation, "so I should explain fully how I can help. I can support a high-priority target. If the target dies, they return to my side, alive and well. This has two main uses. It allows the target to engage in a suicide mission, without the permanent loss of the target. It also allows the target to complete one objective and immediately begin on another objective in a separate location. That is, if upon completing their objective, the target terminates himself, and I am at the site of the second objective. Essentially, teleportation, the only cost for the target is experiencing the pain of death, but I doubt something like that will bother someone like you, will it?" Ishaq looked at the other man, implying that Robert would likely be his target. "We seem...understaffed for an operation like this, so we'll need to capitalize on making the most of what we have."
Robert raised an eyebrow as Ishaq informed them of his ability to bring people back from death, and then suggested it's possible employment as a means of transportation.
"You're certain this ability has no negative consequences?" He inquired. "And is effective anywhere?"
Though skeptical, Robert couldn't help but realize the great possibilities of Ishaq's power. This was particularly relevant in relation to his own magical arm, who's nature typically made it impractical in close quarters fighting.
It allows the target to engage in a suicide mission - Ishaq had said.
Great possibilities indeed...
