Vanessa smiled in approval at Garron's eagerness, [color=f7976a]"Glad to hear that Commander, I'll get ready and meet you and your men there shortly after."[/color] As soon as he left, she wrote a message on her communication unit to Angelia, [color=f7976a][i]"Miss Angelia, I'll be leaving the city for an expedition soon. Hope we'll be able to discuss your plan further at night. I will return once my mission is complete. Best regards, Vanessa Schulz"[/i][/color] Angelia's motives intrigued Vanessa but her priorities lie elsewhere for now, if they manage to retrieve the Node, the Parliament might be able to stop the Rebels once and for all. She then fastened her communication unit onto her belt, also making sure her sword was properly sharpen. She left the barracks once she was done and headed on horseback for the rally point outside the city.

Garron and his men awaited Vanessa on the field. She was impressed by how quick they got ready and stocked themselves, clearly Garron commanded them well. She approached Garron as he was smoking, [color=f7976a]"Commander Garron, enjoying ourselves pre-mission I see, hope your senses aren't dulled. We'll depart for the village immediately, please lead the way."[/color] Vanessa did not approve of Garron indulging in such behavior but she did not stop him either, everyone has their own way to prepare for battle she supposed.
