As the Day turned into night and everyone around the Estate started to settle down Hiroshi himself called for Alren, Keran, Zandack, Nicholas, Toe, Aiden, Chimera and Juniper. Hiroshi waited at his desk for all of them to enter and form a line at the entrance of his office as they so often do. This wasn't just about the New Dawn but also about the safety of the 400 Refugees that they all seemed to adopt for the last few weeks.
While he complied his thoughts he reached down into a side cabinate an grabbed a small bottle of whiskey as he felt like the suggestions to come before him would be those of child's play.

The door quietly opened and a familiar form entered the room briskly. Juniper had arrived, but her usual gentle air was not there. She still looked sickly from her recent surgery and her hair was disheveled. She looked at Hiroshi with empty eyes, nodded, and looked back at the ground. |

Aiden looked around at the group as they all stepped inside and also saluted to Hiroshi. He smiled and jumped as he saw Nicholas, and Toe. "Hey you guys! I haven't seen you in a while! Where were you two?"

Nicholas arrived and was actually quite honestly in a bit of disarray; but, it wasn't a disheveled 'recent fling' type affair. It was quite literally from an all nighter spent transcribing scrolls into his spell book. But, he did speak rather plainly, "What may I assist you with, Master Hiroshi." A statement, not a question. He did however not Juniper looking a tad worse for wear; but otherwise alive. Which was good, "I'll need to take the stitches out today." This was, quietly noted toward the young woman, he wasn't a fondness type person; but the 'urgency' of the call made him sound more inflected than he really was- professional opinion?
He was a wreck and needed sleep.
"I am tired, I will probably be listening; and I'm fairly certain that I'll be a tad more useful once I put together my Formulae book." Tired sounding and just generally grumbly he was.

Hunching over slightly to dodge some banal decorations, Toe entered the room looking for a seat before realizing that they weren't expected to be seated.
Eh, fine. He thought, as he decided not to just take a seat on the accommodating floor.
Someone aside from the one behind the desk seemed to be addressing him. It was one of the folks from that Izmir operation, he believed. Right, one of those guys who stayed behind. Seemed to have worked out for them, they were standing here after all. Or maybe it didn't and someone else needed to be shot in the face.
'Him, me and about thirty some-odd people decided to take a trip to Osie. Lost a horse, about a month's worth of my own rations, and sleep... Decided to keep the beard. Got a complementary stay at a jail cell and a couple of games of Flumph in before leaving.'
And as he reflected the games weren't even that good.

 Chimaera had been in the middle of his training a tigress when someone had delivered the message of his presence had been requested. He finished the young big cats training session first before he walked the trek to the estate's manor. He fell into line quietly while he ran a bloodied rag down a new rake against his cheek - the dangers of training and domesticating wild beasts.

Upon receiving the summons from another New Dawn member, Arlen walked briskly towards Hiroshi's office, donning his knightly armor (cleaned and repaired of course) with the large sword sheathed upon his back. The cloak drifted and dragged behind in the draft, tugging at his neck because of the force of his stride. The young man rasped his knuckles on the door once, twice, maybe even three times before entering as quietly and politely as his physique would allow. Recognising everyone by first glance, it was a mixture of relief, joy, worry, he wondered if some of them should've been here and not resting or on a vital mission. He took a deep breath, and feeling empathy with Juniper, he stood in line beside her. A gauntlet hand raised to salute the man behind the desk, Arlen stood quite still, up straight and at attention. He wasn't going to let fatigue from overworking show in his demeanour.

Aiden stood at attention with his arms crossed behind his back and puffed out his right cheek, a little annoyed at being ignored but he supposed that maybe they were all a little on edge with the purge and all that. The young lad followed everyone's glances and took a look at Juniper. She looked to him like she hadn't gotten enough sleep. He wondered why but that wasn't any of his business. Maybe he would ask later. He tapped his foot slowly as he waited for Hiroshi to state why he had brought them all here.

As Hiroshi waited for all of his most loyal memebers to enter the room, he than began his statement.

"Mm..." The young Aiden tapped his chin in thought. "What if we moved them in small group day after day? That way we won't get noticed for moving in a big group."

"One of those two adults was the son of the Head of the Main Guard, whom Richard killed- after killing the man's Fiance. And the young man's mother is obviously the Main Guard Head's wife... Ransom-able but- I digress..." This was said blandly, "The boy's fiance... She was killed with 'positive energy'. Meaning that she had been undead or, under the influence of a spell that made her as such." His eyes narrow, "Also, I am sure you're aware there were Zeen Corps troops in our woods? Did Richard mention that? Oh, and apparently they were 'expert trackers'- not that I believe this in the least; Richard was bleeding and I'm sure at least one of them had scent. OH, and goody gumdrops there's more! They apparently had members 'on video'- whatever that means, it sounds anachronistic at best... I think they had pictures or scried our members before coming to the woods. I didn't even get to collect samples..."
"Richard, via almost all of my means as an alchemist and knowledgeable sort in magics- is a Necromancer, not a particularly powerful one- whom has explicitly stated that he is only here to 'gain power'. That his companion 'Charles' was actually his father, reanimated from the grave; I'm not sure what James is... Buuuuut, I'm willing to say it's something spooky too." His eyes settle tiredly on Hiroshi, "I did want to breech this while more people were about so I might be able to at least insure that I am not censored by some antics..."
"Also, I thought you were dead, glad to know you're alive." Cheery end to that diatribe.

Sariges is working on getting the Airship mobile, he actually requested some help a few days ago Im sure he will still need hands on rebuilding this thing to fit our needs. Ive ordered some of the natives to help him with anything he may require but im sure he will need more than just that to make this things flyable to the public eye once more.

Chimaera listened carefully, though there hadn't been much in the way of conversation. He scratched at his bandaged wounds until the itch had subsided and then returned his attention to the group. "If I remember correctly, the six hundred or so survivors that my team brought back to the estate were moved out by Captain Bishop. Hopefully that has reduced most of the stress," he added to the conversation. "The news about travel being cleared again is at least fortunate - no more of us getting locked away for no reason anymore - now a good reason or stupidty will get us thrown in jail," he continued.
"A small group," he started in response to Aiden, "would be the best I think. Small groups are easier to hide the tracks of and lead away. The bigger the group means the more chance of chaos to descend and mess up the entire operation of their removal." He paused and crossed his arms over his chest, "and like you said, a bigger group would attract more attention from not only the beasts but any guardsmen that happen to be patrolling the roads. If we took the roads."
He started to say something further but allowed Nicholas to proceed, unhindered by his interruption. His brow raised when it was revealed that the wife must've been an undead. The concept of magic was too fresh and new to him, having learned how to focus on the whims of nature now to channel such a power. The information relayed to them by Nicholas was a bit troubling to Chimaera. The woods being invaded as it were by the Zeen corporation. The video was the most troublesome information of all, at least that was until it was revealed that Richard was a Necromancer. It was then that Chimaera spoke up. "If he believes he will gain any power here, or that we would let him gain anything of the sort from this - to profit from us attempting to overthrow an entire government, then he isn't all that bright." He looked at the man and shrugged his shoulders, "not to mention with all the paladins we have within the New Dawn. He'd be a complete idiot to do anything evil here. Most magic may use negative energy for power but ... the moment he walks about raising dead friends and allies is the moment a paladin will put him down."

"... Most magic uses Arcane energy; which is literally the stuff of the makeup of our reality. Divine magics are more esoteric and I cannot tell you much based on that. And he is that stupid and he has done so, flagrantly." He states this with a firm, powerful conviction that is almost impossible to really ignore. However, he does calm himself a little bit and he had to just- well; sigh to himself.
"I do not doubt Richard has already told Hiroshi of the Zeen Corps in our woods; and the likely fact that we're going to have the Main Guard breathing down our neck due to Richard's actions of murdering the poor boy instead of letting a wild goose chase happen." This was said with a rather firm, resignated sigh, "And how we 'betreyed' him. Which, might I add; I prevented his death at the hands of our Minstrel who was keen on killing him... And I even healed him, you all can probably tell very easily I am not a front line specialist; hence why I am almost always willing to be diplomatic..." He doesn't add his own little oaths either...

Hiroshi then sighs at the digression of the conversation. "listen if what was said is true about Zeen Corps being so close, I dont think we have time to make small tranfers of Natives." Hiroshi then begins to pace around the room. "It would be best for us to be assigned to squadrons and each group would be transfering their pack of refugees to the ourskirts of the major cities of Alexius." I think about 4-5 small groups of memebers transfering each pack would be enough to safely move such a large amount of people."

Chimaera's eyes narrow at the man in front of him. "A bit of advice, sir? This is a rebellion and a war we are raging on the government of Alexius. You called a council to discuss the issue of refugees which has been done - while another issue has been presented calmly to you that is effecting the moral of other members of this organization." His arms dropped to his side. "The only immature one is you with your outburst of anger. My suggestion if you want to keep members loyal to you is quell that quickly. No one follows a commander that has angry outbursts over a discussion of what can effect the goal ahead. Your temperament is what will change this group from a group of rebels to a group of terrorists with a fanatical, emotionally stunted tactical leader. We are volunteers risking our very lives. Remember that next time you decide to act a child whose been scolded for not picking up their toys."
He turned and waved the rest of them off as he walked out of the room.

Arlen has a disgruntled frown on his face as he listens to the entire conversation with two sharp and alerted ears, his fists clenching ever tighter yet remaining as calm as possible. The situation was getting more severe as talk of handling the refugees and Richard's questionable actions came to the forefront, both as pressing matters that began crushing from two sides. The debates get ever-more-heated, even as solutions were being devised and Arlen was nodding his head slowly at all the suggestions, preferring to keep himself out unless he had something valuable to say. Unfortunately that was never the case; Zandack, Chimaera and Nicholas all came up with what he thought up in his head anyway and he smiled. He walked and stood at the side of the room, vigilant in his posture and he continued to watch and listen to the conversation develop.
Upon Hiroshi's shouting insults and commands, with Chimaera and Zandack's subsequent departure from the office, there was a long pause. Arlen took a deep breath and sighed heavily.
"Sir... They are right; The Zeen Corps is a pressing matter, especially when they outside our doorstep. Mr. Richard's motives and actions coincide with our refugee problem as well. As far as I know, handling the refugees in small groups is a good idea, because they would be easier to protect, transport and to mask their trails. I think you glossed over some of the problems Sir, and how you handled Mr. Zandack and Mr. Chimaera was out of line, as our leader. I'm disappointed, Sir."

"I apologize for my outburst Im quite annoyed with the situation at this moment but we have no time to lose." Hiroshi then goes and sits down and starts to write out a statement. "We are releasing all of these Refugees we have no time, if Zeen Corps were to find us this would be our ultimate doom." I will send out our new recruits to deal with this while most of you all stay on guard here just incase we get attacked we have some type of force." Hiroshi then finishs writing his statement then with letter in hand he reaches out for Arlen. "Bring this to the newer recruits we need to get this on the road as soon as possible."
But before Arlen could have the chance to react he slammed his hand back down. "They will be able to track us down after we release them we cant go to far on foot that would pose to much of a risk, people have grown use to these lands now and Im sure one of them will know how to get back."

"To be honest, doing high risk stunts like you have been doing is going to do that. Stealing an air ship? Accepting mutated citizens with little impulse control? Those are exceptionally high risk- if you wish to not be risky; then don't do risky things." His eyebrows furrowed, "To be frank sir- I have nothing else to add; other than a little nugget of advice..."
"Don't do something foolish in pursuit of an ultimate goal; even if it seems to be the only logical choice." He simply turned after offering a salute in his haphazard; offhanded way, "I will be where I am needed; treating the wounded we will be getting..."
