[Backdated to yesterday, Feb 23, at an early hour. Albert speaks for this transmission.]
Residents paying attention to their journals are already aware of the upcoming draft situation. Our battlefield is an stretch of farmland that provides food for many who are protected or employed by the Malnosso Organization, ourselves included.
Draftees are approximately 85, including noncombatants. We will have three main objectives--defending the noncombatants; protecting the facilities, crops, and livestock; and eliminating the Third Party occupying the area.
We will hold a meeting in the barracks today at two in the afternoon. There will be several strategists handling planning, and you will meet them personally at the meeting. I have worked with many of you, but know your strengths and weaknesses, because your role will be based on what information you supply us. You will only cause detriment to yourself and those around you by exaggerating your skills, especially with the new threat the Shifters present.
You may ask your questions over this communication, prior to the meeting, or afterward. We will answer questions to the best of our ability.
[ooc: As done in previous drafts, the planning meeting will be handwaved unless there's something specific anyone wants to play out. Please presume that
everything here is discussed, but in finer detail. Thanks to everyone who's participating; you're the ones who make this stuff fun and doable!
Feel free to threadjack, create action threads, and any other pre-deployment developments in this post. Shikamaru, Caesar, and Sokka can answer any planning questions that they would know about.
If there's anything specific for Albert, please denote somewhere so I can easily find it. >> I can be kinda blind once I turn off comment notifs.
Final group lists will be posted in a separate ooc post tomorrow because tomorrow is Friday and I can't drown in work on Fridays, so you definitely still have time to volunteer your character's involvement. :|b]
