Trick ain't bustin' them out. Hell, you could do that on your lonesome, I reckon. Hard part is gettin' them all back to our territory - but I had a theory on that.
[He pulls a map out of his pocket, generously donated by Mr.Moto showing the area nearby the prison.]
Here, less'n two miles from the prison gates. Railway runs right by, so they can get their supplies in quick. I figure we wait for the train to stop, take it over, then we've got a free ride back in the right direction.
[He points to the river boundary with their part of the Nexus.]
Meanin' we just have to worry about the last few hundred yards between them and the river, since they've run the lines right up to us with all their need to move troops and supplies up to the line.
[There's a smile behind a puff of smoke]
And they sure as hell ain't expecting us to make a run for it from their side.
[The Reploid had moved over to look at the map when No Name pulled it out, and is silent for a while, processing that, then nods.]
My name is Megaman X, and it looks like I've taken over commanding here.
[He traces his finger lightly across the map, both from the rails to stopping point to the river.]
This seems like our best option. It's the easiest way to move everyone, and the fastest way to get back.
The issue is, as you've said, getting across the river.
[He crosses his arms, making a soft hrming noise, though there seems to be a bare smile at the last comment too, before X's expression drops back to seriousness.]
Agreed on that. I'd like a better plan than just "run for it and hope for the best," however.
That's true. However, the problem is, the longer one of us stays there, the more likely it is something will be discovered, and the less time we have.
[While there's no outright reason to hurry, X just has a sinking feeling about this. SOMETHING tells him it's a good idea to get in and out as fast as possible, and he's learned not to ignore his feelings.]
Jean and I had talked a little about it. The thought we had come up with was that one of us -- most likely myself -- would get arrested. We would get ahold of however many worker outfits we could, and sneak out a single group of prisoners. After that, we would have to fight our way out, as they'd obviously notice the prisoners going missing. If all else failed, we'd cause a distraction by having Jean blow up the armory.
Of course, the problem now is obvious; Jean isn't here. Therefore, we need a new way to get ahold of the outfits and a way to keep the armory burning, if we went with that idea.
[Barty's getting tense.] I still think we should send someone from the inside, though doing so would be rather dangerous. [He shivers, unsure if this is something he should have done in the first place.]
[Elizabeth missed the prior meeting as she was at home dealing with a horde of the undead. She listens quietly from her seat, feeling a bit apprehensive at what she may have gotten herself in to.]

It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Megaman X, and I'll be your commander for this mission.
[X waves his hand.]
Not a problem. We still haven't decided entirely how to proceed yet, so I would appreciate any input or opinions you could give -- [He gestures at the hologram behind him.] -- as well as information on what you can do to assist.

I apologize for not being able to attend the previous meeting. I had pressing matters at home.
