And Masaru followed Daigo without missing a beat. To say he was pissed was putting it mildly. He'd already been on edge after what happened to Ivan, but THIS? And everything ELSE going on around them?

So, he followed Daigo. Pretty much without a word beyond yelling back into his home where he was going. Agumon, of course, followed.

But for the moment, he didn't do anything but follow. Some time ago, it'd be different, and he'd already be out there hunting people down. But... that was some time ago. So he held himself in check.

For the moment.

Nanoha didn't miss much of a beat as Daigo entered. In fact, she didn't even bother to look up. He desk was a mess of paperwork, with a datapad and her open D-Comm lying amidst it. Kudamon sat on her shoulder, and they'd been discussing something, but immediately stopped after the first knock.

By the time the words came out of Daigo's mouth, she was speaking also. "Figured one of you would be here," she said, "or both. I doubt you'll be the first."

She squinted, eyes focusing on Liomon's message.

"We're down to myself, Satsuma-san, and Yushima-san here," she said. "I'll be calling Vent in on any major decisions, considering all of that, but..."

She looked up, finally. "We can't do much of anything until we know what we're hitting. I'll leave running investigations to Satsuma-san and Fate, but with Ivan and Suguru-san injured... that leaves me overseeing base tactics."

She took a breath.

"Of course... I imagine you figured all of that, and you wouldn't be here without something to say."

Yoshino had come as well, but was remaining in the back. She hadn't stormed in or come in with authority, but she looked deep in thought, and was holding everything in reserve.

"I'm sure we all have a lot to say," she said, speaking up firmly but quietly. "But... we also have to make sure we don't say anything out of anger or hurt..."

She said that for her own sake, not Masaru's... in her time here, he was just as much a father figure for her as Satsuma was.

"He was the commander in charge of digimon relations, wasn't he? That means... that means it was more than just a threat on his life..."

Re: 2/2 the_man_of_men January 22 2010, 09:28:30 UTC

"Actually," Daigo said, glancing back to Yoshino and Masaru out of his good eye. "I'm not here for any of that. What happened to Commander Daimon simply forced my hand ( ... )

Re: 2/2 lyricalmagical January 22 2010, 21:41:33 UTC

Nanoha held up a hand with the intent of silencing Black Gaomon. "What terms and how, Daigo? If you've come here, at least tell me everything you can."

[ooc - Skip Masaru this round.]

Re: 2/2 isnot_theworst January 23 2010, 01:36:00 UTC

"... And can you tell us why you should be the one to do this, and not the people we've got on staff for that sort of thing?" Yoshino asked. "I mean, I'm not exactly higher rank, but at the same time..."

Re: 2/2 the_man_of_men January 23 2010, 02:13:53 UTC

Black Gaomon muttered something to himself, but he fell obediently silent ( ... )

"...indeed it would," Nanoha said, and bit her lip. It was a dangerous play, EVEN for someone of Daigo's ability... and she normally didn't like taking such risks. She formed her plans, TRAINED her students to AVOID such stunts.

But, all the same... they were losing both time AND personnel.

They had to act decisively.

"...and you're okay with this?" she asked, turning her eyes to the other young man in the room. "Masaru?"

2/2 kenkabanchou January 23 2010, 06:04:56 UTC

"I am," Masaru said, with a nod. "I shadow him. I keep outta sight. Even IF he gets too bogged down, which ain't gonna be easy for many folks, we can bust 'em down. He ain't doin' this stupid. Crazy, sure, stupid, not a chance. If they're gonna be doing stuff like this? Then I see exactly what Daigo's getting at. We treat this like the streets."

Re: 2/2 isnot_theworst January 23 2010, 06:08:47 UTC

Yoshino... did not look comfortable.

"I don't like it," she said. "Not... not like this. Tsukasa... Tsukasa is much too clever for that, based on what we've been told about him... and based on the time he was here..."

Re: 2/2 the_man_of_men January 23 2010, 06:25:15 UTC

"I don't think it's Tsukasa doing this," Daigo said, shaking his head. "It doesn't fit. He'd choose different targets. Someone's pulling the strings, and moving a lot of pawns with uncanny skill. There have been several attacks, what stands out most is that James fellow that attacked Miria. The game seems to be numbers and lack of organization to prepare for. It can work on a foe unprepared for it."

He looked at Yoshino, giving her a sympathetic look. "If you're not comfortable with this, though, let us know. This is going to be a risky plan, and if the enemy's planned for it, it could prove costly," he told her. "And I don't want to put either of you in a difficult emotional position."

He paused, and glanced at Nanoha. "That, among other things, is why I'm going to be acting independently, rather than under the DATS banner. And I should warn you, as Masaru said... we're treating this like the streets. The answers we get won't come back without a few dents," he said.

1/2 kenkabanchou January 23 2010, 06:53:25 UTC

Masaru took a step forward. He gave Yoshino an understanding look, rubbing the back of his head as he did so. "Look, I understand that. But it's like Daigo said. Wouldn't Kagura go after other people? What about his sister? Even I can see that don't add up ( ... )

2/2 lyricalmagical January 23 2010, 07:00:54 UTC

Nanoha held up a hand.

"No need to go that far, Masaru."

She frowned, and glanced at Yoshino. "I understand your concerns, also... but they're right. Kagura Tsukasa may have a role in this, but I don't think it's the PRIMARY one. Touma, his family, Kagura Yuma, Katherine Simmons, Sayu-chan... they would all have likely been attacked by now."

She shifted her eyes back to Daigo. "I don't like this idea. It goes against all my ideals as both a teacher and a solider, but... you're right. We have to do this differently, at this point. We have to find out the source of this... even if the manner has its risks. I realize I can't even send a large team to flank you, because that would obviously stand out..."

She leaned back in her chair. "We can monitor you, regardless. I'll set up Brainiac 5 to monitor your position. You leave DATS without permission. Masaru follows. And we go from there."

Re: 2/2 isnot_theworst January 23 2010, 07:04:38 UTC

"... Even if Tsukasa isn't the mastermind," Yoshino began, "I don't think he's just a hired thug. I think it'd be a very bad idea to put all of our eggs in one basket, with him involved in ANY capacity... and that's the problem with Daigo's plan."

She crossed her arms.

"I can see the point, but... I'm sorry, we need to think about what we're going to do if this doesn't work. We could lose a man, and what's more, someone who can be used against DATS due to his personal history. No offense, Daigo."

She raised her hands.

"... and think about this. Think about what plans Tsukasa has his hands in. The Demon Lords, Kurata... too many for my book. I'm all for using his plan against him, and I know I'm not the decision maker, but... this is going to need more than just Daigo."

Re: 2/2 the_man_of_men January 23 2010, 07:31:24 UTC

"Actually, Yoshino," Daigo said, smiling back at her gently. "For once... this isn't putting all of our eggs in one basket. At best, it ties up two agents, and a little bit of Brainiac's attention. And perhaps more importantly, it will momentarily divert attention away from DATS as a whole. If at all possible, I'd like to see counter-operations put into motion while I'm doing this ( ... )

1/2 lyricalmagical January 23 2010, 08:49:44 UTC

"Yoshino..." Nanoha started, softly. "This is not something I'm considering lightly. But... I would far better have Daigo draw fire as opposed to someone who can't fight as well, or someone who isn't expecting it. And furthermore, even if you or I could convince Masaru not to go..."

She focused her gaze on Daigo.

"I don't think any of us could convince him of the same. Not in this case. Nor can I, in good faith. I would rather take the measures to protect his well being in addition to ours, rather than letting him go off on his own. And if anything, it will be at least one less hunter that we're not accounting for ( ... )
