Including you?

@Artifact

I have my reasons.

<Snipped quote by Revolutionary>

... if absolutely necessary, we can wait until everyone is healed up. I dont want to rush this, or not have enough heavy hitters with us. We're going to be fighting an endless army. We need enough experienced people to combat that.

@souleaterfan320

That’s up to you and how urgently you think we need to strike.

Volunteers are a sticky thing.

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

"I trust you to use this to help me but not in general" isn't a very nice thing to say.

@Artifact

There are a lot of reliable people who operate in this line of work who volunteer just because. Usually out of a sense of responsibility, or a hunt for adrenaline. It’s just that right now is a bad moment in history.

<Snipped quote by Revolutionary>

I'd appreciate it if you could.

@souleaterfan320

I’ll see what I can do. Hopefully she isn’t needed immediately.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Revolutionary>
In the meantime, can you contact Ona?

@souleaterfan320

Through the grapevine, maybe. I don’t have a direct line with her.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Revolutionary>

I appreciate the fact that you offered to help. Maybe I could get a hold of some older friends, like Rhoan... or Lunar. Maybe even Spirit. Let me contact them.

*pulls up a holoscreen, sending a message to Spirit*

@souleaterfan320

*Nods*

My point is that you do need headcount, and strong ones. Existing allies or otherwise.

@Artifact

I know. I said as much to Shinji. But you can't count on me to recruit pretty much anyone.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

Gifts!

<Snipped quote by Revolutionary>

I’d really suggest finding capable fighters and not throwing them in the shredder.

@Artifact

I’m pretty sure I made it clear I won’t be doing that. I do not know a soul to spare.

<Snipped quote by Revolutionary>

I wish there was an easier way. These guys don't have many weak esses we can exploit. Its gonna be a rough battle.

@souleaterfan320

Not a stranger to it, at this point.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

Why not?

<Snipped quote by Revolutionary>

You’ll need to find enough people somehow.

@Artifact

Don’t talk to me about it. People aren’t going to be cannon fodder under my direction.

<Snipped quote by Revolutionary>

So far, yeah.

@souleaterfan320

Tall ask. I guess it has to be that way, though.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Revolutionary>

Eventually you become less trustworthy if you’re getting people killed.

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

Cool! Can I keep it?

@Artifact

Well, that’s a worry, but not among the top of my issues with it.

<Snipped quote by Revolutionary>

You'll understand it better when you seei t in action.

@souleaterfan320

Like I said, I’ll take your word for it. Is this the three step plan, though? Assemble a large squadron of capable fighters, have them all master a martial art in a very short time frame, then go and eliminate the problem?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Revolutionary>

It depends. I still have a few more things I need to put the closeo n Data and I's little project. Theres the issue of learning how to use our said weapons as well. The amaranthine are versed in most common styles of CQB. To meet that, I've prepared a teacher who can teach us a non-common method of fighting.

@souleaterfan320

I’ll take your word on this style doing what you intend it to do. But I have my reservations about synchronizing fighting styles for the entire force against a hive mind.

<Snipped quote by Revolutionary>

Maybe! But like you said, “meat shields” don’t hurt either.

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

I don’t know yet, depends on how much I end up helping you.

@Artifact

I imagine being a meat shield hurts a lot, circumstances depending. But I do not believe in throwing lives at a problem needlessly in such a way.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Revolutionary>

Yeah... we need to get a lot more people. Id prefer about 15 to 20 of us total.

@souleaterfan320

That could very easily take more time than you’re willing to allow it.
