(Sorry about the delay, finals are tiring!)

Gainsboro nodded after each monologue. Everything was proceeding smoothly, and he himself was already coming up with some ideas for a tactical assault. He remained loyal to his position, however, and would allow the organizations to form a common strategy themselves.

As for his opinion? He thought that this case was ample proof that Vale would need a stronger military force, as freelance Huntsmen and huntresses might have worked a generation ago but obviously weren't going to cut it anymore. ''We honed your immense potential into incredible strength. Now, go forward and do whatever the hell you want with it.''

Mr. Peters was an independent thinker for sure. As for the people at hand?

Vale's Police Department might be lacking in some areas, but they stayed true to their time-tested code and were honest and hardworking, respectable traits in anyone. it would be good to have trustworthy eyes and hands on the scene.

Vale's Pilgrims, on the other hand, operated in enough secrecy that he could not say the same. They seemed alright so far, but Gainsboro wanted to know more about what they had and how they operated before he could trust them completely. Rowtag's apparent religiosity felt out-of-place in the heart of the kingdom's government, for sure.

The tech display by Flagg Institute's representative was impressive, arguably beyond what most citizens in the world had access to. Of all the non-gov factions here, they seemed most reliable and, indeed, most capable.

And lastly, onto the remaining "honest" members of Black Order Battalion. The fact that they had sent only a lowly butler to this critical meeting left a poor impression on the official, and their... unorganized actions at the incident in addition to their massive corruption suggested that the Council would need to take direct restrictive actions on the group once the immediate issue was solved.

"Thank you for your introductions. Before an open meeting can commence, there are a few details I'd like to make clear."

He leaned forward and clasped his hands.

"Although it appears that non-governmental forces will be performing the bulk of the offensive, please do your best to solve the problem at hand in the best way possible, and represent your organizations and Vale well. There will no doubt be extensive media coverage of whatever outcome emerges, and it would be best to show the world that our kingdom is unyielding but fair in its pursuit of justice."

He then got down to questions directed towards the specific groups.

"Mr. Achachak, what kind of support and what role can your Pilgrims offer?"

"Mr. Ardon, what is the source of your information, and how can we distinguish the good BOB soldiers from the ones who have defected? This is a crucial piece of information that all of us must know if this attack is to succeed."

"If any of the groups present have any questions for me or for one another, now would be an excellent to state them. Elaboration on your faction's strengths and weaknesses would also be much appreciated."

"Although, if what Mr. Ardon says is true, then we had best keep this discussion on the essentials in order to preserve time for the carrying out of the operation itself. Let no concern or doubt go unvoiced. Communication is central to team victory."

(I'll leave it to Fier to specify the details within Zirnitra and Fen and Cyz's conditions. It'd be nice for their stories to unravel alongside the main one.)
