[b]"Well, if you don't particularly want anyone from the command class, I'd say there's a lot to choose from."[/b] He scanned the area, gesturing at ones that caught his eye.

[b]"Let's see... From what I've heard, the Pirate Queen Irisara Silaen has been called here, and she's both dangerous and non-military. She's the sea-elf with the twin cutlasses.

She's a Water Kingdom native, spent nearly all her life on and around her father's ship. She's the white-haired girl talking with the Pirate Queen. Or... A man named John Reynolds, he's a caster that works with ice and lightning."[/b] He searched for a moment more, coming to the bottom of the page in record time. [b]"Another guy you could consider would be Lucas Trent, he has the interesting and quite powerful ability to control force. It's up to you, Mister Cypher."[/b]
