[ there she is again. on the list. this pleases her although she thinks perhaps she should feel guilty over that pleasure. there are other names on it, though. hmm. ]
I know you said all that stuff about enemies and ranks being unknown but -- [ she clears her throat. it's an important question and some people will hear it but maybe some people have to hear it: ] Any chance of their General showing his face, this time? I'm starting to feel a little stood up.
And the woman he sent his -- [ cue the driest of dry sarcasm; derek's death had rocked her badly. ] -- regards to the last time he was on he field and I wasn't.
But since then? He's mostly been a no-show. How rude.
Our enemy's general has far too many rivals throughout the world to make a personal appearance each time one is on the field of battle. He and I have killed each other at least a dozen times by now, and I've not faced him in over six months.
Never expect to face their trump card when the most basic warriors will do the job.
Yeah, I was unpleasantly acquainted with their morals during my not-so-friendly chat with his Generalness.
[ but that made her wonder what this commandant's morality had to say. but important questions. that's what she had stressed. ] Does he delegate at all? I mean -- are they as immediately leaderless as we are, out there? Or is there an actual sub-sub-sub-commander kind of deal that we can target instead?
He has a recognizable chain of command, though they are more difficult to locate than he is. Focus on the Elite soldiers and the most powerful Shifters- they have higher ranks than the rest. That may help.
[ shifters. ugh. she hopes she won't be running into those. ]
Okay. Right -- [ she practically sounds grateful. there is something about chatting with this 'commandant' that buffy prefers to catherine. she likes her strategy straight. ] Now, about this 'training village'. Are we talking one of theirs?
[ there may have to be a talk. sometime -- in the next two days or in the rain forest.
a hotel-free, reward-free draft. but reward is in the eye of the beholder and depending on how her conversation with this 'commandant' progresses, there might be a silver lining to be found. it could be like a camping trip...just with more violence and press-ganging. ]

Define wildlife. Lions, tigers, bears -- oh my?

Sorry, Buffy. But you're not the girl he knows from back home, and he could trust that girl in a war.]
