That... I'm glad it seems to be over. Under control. A considerable relief, although at least Elena and I were able to talk while we were both recovering. I still have quite the headache, I admit - and know more about some of you than I would prefer.

... What is this about Schuldig being missing? How long has he been gone?

Hell. Hellhellhellhellhellhell.

I see. Thank you very much.

Did you miss the part where I said I was on medical leave? You need to postpone all portions involving the puppets for at least two weeks. The gate, definitely that long.

[strategy_master]

... I did. Two weeks? If what Valeria tells me is correct, I'm not sure I can wait that long.

What happened?

Re: Private // Unhackable.

[somes_auditus]

I had surgery for ulcers. That's not to leave your mouth. It's bad enough Vati had to advertise my pain everywhere.

Anyway, it's far too soon for me to even consider trying to move that many puppets. They have tags, but not for that amount of work. I would have to write up new ones, invest new chakra, which will work my body too hard. In ten days, I can return to work.

Re: Private // Unhackable.

[strategy_master]

Of course. Consider it forgotten, Sasori.

The Iron Sand, however... Is there any possibility you could sustain that alone? Manpower can be found within Shinra, but the Iron Sand is quite pivotal. We can make up for lost time on the puppets by bringing the Sand in early, allowing the gate to complete construction while the Sand blocks the water flow rather than using both simultaneously.

Private to Filter

Me, a General? Thank ya sir! Once Doctor Crescent says I'm cleared I'll await my orders!

Re: Private to Filter

[strategy_master]

No need to rush. I've... not been entirely astute these days, but I do recall that you were having notable difficulty with the body-switches. Do get checked thoroughly, as there may be a plan postponement.

Re: Private to Filter

[tinyfukutaichou]

Yeah, I was intellectualizin' 'r so's they say. I will, an' I'll let ya know when I'm back in action!

Thank you, Logan.

Re: private//unhackable//viewable to filter

... hey, you jus' found out about Schuldig bein' missin' too, eh? Cissnei mentioned that t'me yesterday.

The hell's up with that?

... I'm sorry to say that I don't know. There are leads, but why and from what source, I've yet to track down. The usual suspects, though; it could very well be mere rumour, but they have more than enough of a grudge to target him. It's something I can believe.

More incentive to put ourselves to action. I've allowed myself to put this matter aside for far too long. It begged for this to happen.

As soon as all positions are filled, we go forward.

Screened to same filter

[young_mystic]

I have warding spells that create barriers and can hold large objects in place If such spells would be useful, I would be glad to use them to help.

Re: Screened to same filter

[strategy_master]

That would be greatly appreciated. We're going to need all the help we can get, and barriers would certainly make for effective defense for our troops army employees.

Re: Screened to same filter

[young_mystic]

Of course, tell me when and where the wards are needed and I can set them up quickly since all I need are my ofuda scrolls.
