[You'll most likely find Decker on the outskirts of Mac Anu, tapping away at his Relic as he checks the closest areas. He's also muttering to himself, a slight frown on his face.]

[ahh, familiar military discipline -- well, at least some of the phraseology was familiar, even if "sector" sounded odd.]

[Kain's approach was less casual than usual, falling back into said discipline]

What are your plans for this objective? Could you use more men?

[col_decker]

[And Decker looks up from his Relic, eyeing Kain with an eyebrow raised]

If my intel is reliable, we've got a bunch of hostiles in the area around this town - more than there usually are.

I'm planning on clearing out at least one sector and setting up a command post there. Might even try for a second or third, depending on how things go clearing the first sector.

[He turns his attention back to the Relic, marking a couple points of interest on the map before tucking the device away and shouldering his Gun Steel]

Could always use a few good men on a mission like this. What's your name, son?

[highwind_knight]

[Kain eyes him right back, brow lifted in echo and a small sardonic smile threatening ~]

[there's that "sector" business again -- but context tells him it's similar phrasing to "district" or "territory", like as not. good enough, it's always good to gain more precise vocabulary.]

I like the sound of that.

[drawing his blade, Kain brings it to casual rest against his shoulder.]

Highwind; Kain Highwind, of the Dragon Knights of Baron. Yourself?

[col_decker]

[A nod.]

Colonel Roderick Decker, United States Army.

[He hmms thoughtfully to himself. Something about Kain speaks to him.]

Well, Mr. Highwind, I'd say we should find out if our information is reliable - and if it is, we should probably secure the area closest to the town first, before moving on to the rest of the nearest sector.

[ Oh that's familiar lingo. ]

Old man, what are you doing? You needn't set up a base inside of the town. There's already no monsters or killing allowed.

[col_decker]

[That statement earns you that look. You know, the one that fairly screams "Thank you, Captain Obvious."]

If it were in the town, it wouldn't be a forward operations base, now would it?

[longskirt]

[ Touchy touchy, he was only checking. ]

Hn. I don't suppose you're alone, then.

[col_decker]

[Decker bites back a sarcastic reply]

. . . No, I'm not.
