Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Not surprising. Before I left the Republic we were undermanned and judging by the fact that an officer was sent all the way out here indicates that the Empire doesn't have many good leaders either since they have to recruit new ones. Perhaps they have the soldiers to fight, but without good generals no battle could be won." He figured he would just cut to the chase now. "Your idea always was to take out the person in charge, but I must ask if you know the targets on either side? If not, I suggest getting this information before going around trying to overthrow anything." Part of him didn't figure Kaki would know just who it was that they were after, but he had learned long before not to doubt him on anything.

Well it seemed that he had taken notes. "So you know at least who you should target, but if you cannot distinguish that person from the group you will never get anything done. I take it you know the Republic leaders by name, but what about the Empire. If the empress is truly gone then who is her replacement." Truthfully he didn't know. You don't vanish just for half a year and come back, no he had been gone a while.

Well that was to be expected regardless of how he hoped. "I suppose we will cross that bridge when we get to it. Next is a simple question, have you found any place to make your base of operations? If you truly want to hold an organization then you must have a place where we can plan out our strategy."

"Alright I'll lay the ideas out on the table and let you decide. You are the leader after all. It would be foolish to set up a base in either capital as they both may hold potential targets and our base would be endangered. Akea is a decent choice, but as you said it is a long distance away from the two capitals and we would have to plan for long missions. Barton is directly in the middle and will allow for us to make it to and from a capital in a short amount of time, however it also puts us directly in the usual battlefield and we may be pulled into fights that we would rather stay out of. Although there is a number of choices in small towns I would suggest making camp near a city in order to make it easy to get supplies. Its your choice." He had done this research long ago. Usually it was to make camp for a battle in which he was involved in, but not much had changed as far as he knew and he figured the information was still valuable.

"We can make it work. Besides some if not most people in the Republic may still have some trust in you." Personally he didn't feel welcomed there anymore, but he supposed that some of them may still remember his loyal side. "So maybe we will be able to avoid any confrontations. It'll aid us since as you said it is a strategic location."

"Anyway you look at it it will be in an area away from here. So Kaki you may wish to complete anything you need to around here. Who knows when you'll be here again."

((Would, but I don't know where to start. Wish we could get some of the old ones back. That way we could at least continue a bit of what we started last time.))

"Probably should. I won't be able to do all your work for you." A slight smile, sure technically he was going to be just a subordinate, but that still didn't mean he wouldn't make a somewhat crude comment about Kaki time to time. "All you have to do is decide where. With luck you may find someone here. Still it didn't look like that officer found anyone so we may be out of luck. Maybe Barton..." It was the next city as far as he could remember so it would be the next place to look.

"Pretty content with what I have. It has served me well in the past and always kinda figured that I would use it until the end." He had just started fighting again and well he didn't want to let this weapon go just yet. It had already went through all of his training regimen so to him, it was good as it was. "Still you might want to look into it."

((Not sure who else would come back. We might just wait to see how things turn out with them.))
