((I'm so sorry, I didn't count on my internet failing me))
Location:: Nyx, Conference room
Character:: Strake Scizzon(Alpha)
"Eve get back in here." A low voice called out right before the arrival of the Alpha. His entrance was very rather nonchalant, he just appeared, standing to the right of where Eve had been sitting, his chair had disappeared. He was dressed in his normal attire, almost blending in with the worn-out conference room. He reached out into the middle of the table towards Dolly's hat.
"I would appreciate it if you didn't put your hat onto the table when you do actually choose to come." Strake said in a light voice, he was smiling as he spoke, but his eyes were serious. He then picked up her hat and tossed it lightly to her. "I was hoping to place the map there to see who noticed." He added, then reached behind his back and pulled out a rolled up piece of paper. Strake unrolled this paper onto the table to reveal a Map of Serial.
"Alright, just to cure your curiosity, I was helping to secure out borders. I was also teaching men to set up auto-turrets. These people are too incompetent to actually shoot people, you'd think in this city of convicts it would be easy to find homicidal maniacs." The Alpha explained Looking at the map, then turning to Akana.
"Can you take a life?" Strake pounced forward as he said this, eyeing her, not wanting a response. "I know you will, it's alright, you don't need to answer honey." The Alpha said kindly as he retreated. Strake looked at the map, his dark hair covering his entire face in a shadow.
"I suppose you want to know the plan?" Strake asked rhetorically still looking at the map. "Well, we are running low on supplies, our turrets are made from destroyed buildings, the bullets are rocks, grinded until they fit through the barrels, we need supplies terribly, and I'm sure the Organization knows.
What we won't do is steal any supplies we find without investigating it, I'm sure that the Organization will try to lure us in and kill us. What we will do is capture this town, I've heard it has a good amount of supplies, and from their we can work our way up and expand." The Alpha was pointing to the southernmost city. He took a deep breath then continued.
"I do not think of this taking over as 'grunt work' it is a job for us. We may have to take over some towns with force, but some will simply join us. It seems that the closer they are to us, the easier they will be to take over without fighting. The further north, the more chance of fight. If we take over all these towns, then our border will be this river." Strake paused and pointed out the river.
"Defense will be much easier with this as our border, because their navy is not strong. We won't have to travel as far to attack as well, and we will work on our navy, with all our resources at that point, we should advance quicker than them." The Alpha began, tracing his finger all over the map, his map did not have the town farthest north, because it's existence was unconfirmed. "If their are no objections, we shall leave after this meeting." He said as his final statement.

Character: Akana Massri
Location: Nyx HQ, Conference room
Akana listened closely, watching as Alpha pointed out important features on the reliable, worn map's surface. When he addressed her she met his eyes confidently, a predatory gleam shimmering just beneath the surface of her smile.
Once he finished laying out the plan, Akana cocked her head to the side and grinned. "I don't have any objections, but I may have questions which need to be addressed," she said respectfully, then offered a charming smile. "However, they can be answered while we travel, I wouldn't want to delay our journey."

✸ - ✸ - ✸ - ✸ - ✸
The woman jumped at Strake's sudden voice and it took her every amount of control to keep from hugging the man and yipping like a dog. Eve merely nodded and tossed a look over to Dolly.
Strake's plan was good even though they knew it would be an obvious set up, but like he said, that town was their best chance for survival. Eve took her seat again and peered at the map that he had laid out, "Agreed, however what could we do or use to bribe these people to join us?"
Eve cocked and eyebrow at Strake and glanced at the other four people sitting about.

Character:: Dolly Cathers
Location:: Nyx headquarters, Conference Room
Dolly caught her hat with ease and rolled her eyes but a half-smile was registered in place. She twirled it in her hands and listened lazily to Strake's instructions. His meetings were always straight and to the point. There was no beating around the bush- if he wanted something done, it would be done. Dolly was used to being ordered around but Strake's orders weren't too bad- not like she followed them really anyways.
"So, a question Alpha," Dolly piped in, stressing the last word in an exaggerated tone. "How are we going to go about this? Will we be divided into factions or are we working alone this time? And ditto to Eve's question."

Character:: The Commander (NPC)
Location:: Organization headquarters, Conference Halls
The Commander raised his eyebrow at Dayne. "General! I wouldn't think I would need to think that out for you! You two are Generals, I'm sure you can put together something! Now I have some matters to take care of, so Generals- I put my trust in you."
Without bidding a word of goodbye, the Commander turned the corner, got into the elevator with his subordinate and disappeared.
---
Character:: Christopher "Crow" Scar
Location:: Organization headquarters, Conference Hall
Crow led against the corridor wall and gaze at Dayne lazily. "That was quite an intelligent question to ask wasn't it General Dayne?" Crow commented once the Commander was out of earshot. "I had thought the Commander explained it clearly and well but I guess my hearing must be deteriorating huh?"

The male gaped silently as Commander swiftly, and rather craftily, escaped their presence. Dayne's head turned roboticly to Crow and the shock was fast replaced by anger. Righting himself up he turned on his heel to face Crow, just looking at the man made Dyane's skin crawl.
"Look, I'm happy about this just as much as you are so lets just get this over with so we don't have to look at each other again. Fair deal?"

Character:: Christopher "Crow" Scar
Location:: Organization headquarters, Conference Hall
Crow shrugged and smiled. "I think this is bothering you more so that it is affect me General. But as you wish."
He turned to walk back down the hall, hand shoved into the pockets of his black pants. "The Commander says we should set up a trap, but that is quite childish and obviously the Nyx would suspect that we would pull such a stunt right? So on the outside we go with the Commander's words but we shall be operating differently in truth. With the Nyx running low on supplies and considering their independent nature, they won't be bartering with other areas. And if I know the Nyx well enough, they'll do what they do best- raid nearby towns."
"And the towns closest to the Nyx are most likely to be the first victims, considering they won't be able to navigate too far north with their lack of supply. They'll invade a town and then take over their supplies and head out once more. And note, once the Nyx takes down the town leader, the rest of the town will merely be a puppet dancing on the palm of their hands," Crow paused smiling oddly at his palms. "I propose this idea General, we set up the trap sure, and keep the Commander posted on the trap. Also, we must accidentally-purposely let it slip to the Nyx about our ambush by the forest. However, we will also head over to the towns, set up our gear and then pounce on the unsuspecting Nyx."
Crow tilted his head back at the General, a malicious smile slowly creeping up his face, "But of course, that is my idea General Dayne. You don't have to go along with it."
Crow's entire speech was told in a relatively calm and nonchalant tone, as if Crow didn't really give a dog's tail about what was going on. It might be actually beneficial to have someone who knows the Nyx inside and out working with the Organization.

Character:: Strake Scizzon(Alpha)
Location:: Nyx headquarters, Conference Room
Strake looked at his spouse and then Dolly while they spoke, then turned his gaze down towards the map. "Well, remember what I said about lower towns being easier?" He asked rhetorically, his face hidden in the shadow of his hair. "All we need to do for this town," The Alpha pointed at the lowest town. "Is offer them up a chance to join the almighty Nyx."
He then moved his finger to the next town up, the shadow ending just above his lips to reveal a smile. "For this town, bribery may be needed." He then moved his finger up. "This town will need some...aggressive negotiation, and it will pretty much be fighting afterwords, I suspect that the Organization may have some of these upper towns, but they still have that river problem, and transportation of anything will be slow for them." Strake Finished answering, then motioning for his wife to come over and join them.
"Will there be any more questions? We will all be in a single group, unless you guys want to divide, but we must remain a somewhat large group, consisting of at least three to four people. Towns aren't too difficult, no military for the most part, but I suspect some to have militia and we don't want to lose lives over this, well, not your lives." The Alpha finished, trying to make sure his group is well informed.

Eve cocked her head at Strake's explanation and nodded her head slowly, moving to his side she pointed to the towns he had mentioned. "Who goes to which town? Obviously some will need more 'influence' than others." The female looked to Dolly skeptically and scanned the other two people, there weren't many members but with each Nyx having a different skill it would seem easy. Maybe too easy.
"Offering them a chance to join the Nyx sounds good, but with that we technically give them our protection. I don't think we could protect all those people."
Brushing aside a bothersome red curl Eve glanced side long at her husband, "Each town has something we need. Should we make a list of essentials so we're not spending too much time in one spot?"

The male forced himself to steady his anger, obviously pushing Crow's buttons would make things worse. The man made a good point that it was childish but Dyane didn't see him voicing his opinion if he hated the idea so much.
"What makes you think they'd take over the town? Even that is too harsh for them; they're not animals." Dayne crossed his arms over his chest and leaned all his weight on one leg. "How do you propose we set up the ambush?"

Akana's eyes lit up as an idea came, spurred on by Eve's suggestion.
"Also, some of us are more familiar with certain towns. Perhaps if we all give our impression of the places we've been we can get a better picture of who we're dealing with. Also, I have connections in certain areas that could prove useful," she spoke succinctly, "If we need to call in more favors, I can arrange for it."
She glanced around the table, analyzing each person involved in the meeting. While the expressions were different, there was one single emotion shared with each. A smoldering, almost behind the eyes. It wasn't just greed or ambition, though that was a part of it. There was a fierce joy kindled as they planned, an excitement for all that was to come.

Location:: Nyx HQ, Conference Room
Strake decided to answer his wife first, so he turned towards her and spoke. His icy blue eyes fell on her. "You're right, we couldn't protect all those people, but they can protect themselves, and we call some people over to oversee the town taking care of itself. Also we will have men stationed there in order to get the supplies we need transported, it will appear as if we are protecting them fiercely even though we're just transporting goods." He answered smiling, although underneath he was surprised that Eve didn't notice that. The Alpha then turned to the map and took a pen from his pocket.
"Alright, let's make notes of the towns then. All I know is this lowest town will be ours by just offering to make them part of the Nyx. I have no clue of what they supply, nor do I know much of other town's supplies." Strake spoke in response to Akana, then began to write near the lowest town Difficulty-Easy in tall thin letters. "I'd like to know what you guys know so that I may add it to the map." The Alpha stated in a kind voice. "The more Intel the better, you learn that in my line of work." He added somewhat quieter, almost to himself.

The woman noticed the shock in Strake's voice at her question, it was perfectly reasonable. Her brow knitted in thought and she looked at what he was writing out. Maybe she should just keep quiet? Eve shook her head lightly at the submissive thought that eased its way in.
She would never back down, her mouth always served her well in the past and she wasn't about to shut it tight just for this. Eve opened her mouth to say something but closed it instead; she was irritating herself now and that angered her.
"Should we send someone to look about the town so we can get a brief map view? That might be beneficial since the Organization will no doubt have an ambush waiting."

Character: Akana Massri
Location: Nyx HQ, Conference room
Akana tapped the map lightly with one finger. It was a city maybe fifteen miles away from the river.
"That is where I was born. I've visited since I left, it's a relatively wealthy town of merchants, most of their money is brought in by trade via the river, however they will require more forceful persuasion, although most people there view The Organization as radicals."
She tapped another city, this one was near the woods.
"I lived there for a few years, there are a few gangs, some hideouts. They're resourceful and smart, but inexperienced. The rest of the town is made up of fur traders and woodsmen. Mostly raw materials, not a lot of money to be had."

Dolly smiled, adjusting the hat low over her eyes. She leaned against the wall as she listened to the discussion. I'd like to know what you guys know so that I may add it to the map Dolly smirked but kept quiet. There was a few relevant details that she picked up during her town raids that should add to the discussion. It would be lot more fun later on when the Nyx actually come across these problems. Maybe that could add a spice to things now.

Character:: Christopher "Crow" Scar

Crow laughed, his voice ringing out through the corridor. His red eyes cut to Dayne, glowing intense. "It is wonderfully sweet of you General Dayne to think of the Nyx like that. You must be living under a rock to believe such a ridiculous idea. The Nyx is not a little group of robbers that just like bullying others- no, they are vicious and psychotic."
Crow paused, grinning like a madman. This really proved his point about the Nyx, Crow was a perfectly good example.
"We shall dispatch a group to set up the so called "trap", the Commander wants. But I will head over to the towns with Captain Cadel and his crew," Crow informed, smiling coyly. "I don't really care where you go General but don't rely on me to watch your a**."

The male's face flushed in anger, he couldn't stand it anymore. This cocky jerk had gone far enough. Grabbing Crow by the throat he slammed him up against the wall and used two finders to hit a pressure point paralyzing his entire left side.
Staring into Crow's eyes Dayne spoke with so much venom that it even scared him.
"I don't need my a** to be watched, going into the town dressed as a you are will no doubt get you shot if not by the Nyx then by the townspeople." He spat on the floor, "While you go about playing ring around the Nyx I'll assemble a company to escort the bait."
Dayne used the same two fingers and pushed the same spot awakening the nerves once again; releasing Crow the male spun on his heel and headed towards to dispatch room.
