A few of the other village leaders were in the room, too. Abe was of course head of security, the was [b]Kazu[/b] who ran the docks, [b]Jameson[/b], the village doctor, [b]Aoi[/b] who owned the market place and [b]Shun Yi [/b] who was the head mechanic. Apart from Abe, they all tensed up as the young cadets entered into the room, they wanted to be hopeful but it was hard to put their trust into 5 kids who they hadn't known longer than 4 weeks. However, the desperate times meant that they had to believe in something and the fact that Abe was confident was a good sign, as he had been the most level headed of the village leaders since the beginning.

Kiwami, who was the descendant of many politicians and leaders was especially upset to see that place taken from him, as his family was using that hall for over 300 years. But he tried to act as professional as he could for the sake of the new cadets. [b]Kiwami[/b] [i]I'll try and keep this brief, thank you for joining us today cadets, its good to see all your faces at once again. As you know the village is in a dark chapter and while I would love to discuss possible future aspirations I have for the state of affairs in the world, we must focus on the most pressing issue. We owe around 134,000 credits to the Yakuza, and they will be coming to collect in 4 days, I shouldn't even have to tell you what will happen if we don't have it. Therefore I'm asking you all to head to Valk Crater, to the west of here. It's not too far away, and there are no major enemy settlements but the road there is perilous and could only be completed in a tank. Also you may very well encounter some hostiles on the path. Valk Crater has large deposit of silver that we could use to pay off the debt and keep the Yakuza off our backs for another 2 months, and enough left over to make some real different in improving the lives of the villagers here. Please speak to Abe about equipment, thank you cadets, our life is in your hands. [/i] As Kiwami finished his briefing, Abe, Kaze and Shun Yi brought over some weapon cases and rucksacks to the team. [b]Kazu:[/b] [i]We had some money saved so we spent it all on the best equipment we could find for you, the Bastion has been stocked with plenty of ammo, but still scavenge what you can while you are out there you currently have enough room in/on the tank for [b]30 units of Cargo[/b], and you need a minimum of 7 units for the Silver we need....[/i] [hider=Foresight] R4-C (Assault Rifle) [img]https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/rainbowsix/images/9/97/R4c-image.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20151209031900[/img] Mk1 9mm (Pistol) [img]https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/rainbowsix/images/1/14/R6S_Mk1_9mm.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160202234015[/img] 3x Frag Grenades [/hider] [hider=Smokey] GSH 18 (Silenced Pistol) [img]https://i.ytimg.com/vi/rZqUqYDpWPs/hqdefault.jpg[/img] Lockhart Tactical (Knife) [img]https://www.lockharttactical.com/media/com_hikashop/upload/ka-bar_d2_extreme_fighting_utility_knime_lockhart_tactical.png[/img] 2x Smoke Grenades 2x Flash Bangs Night Vision Goggles [/hider] [hider=Drake] Seytr Elite (Sniper Rifle) [img]https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/rainbowsix/images/f/f8/Steyr_Elite.png/revision/latest?cb=20151118114936[/img] PMM (Pistol) [img]https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/rainbowsix/images/c/cd/Pm-image.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20151209205320[/img] 2x Tripwire Explosive Traps 1x Smoke Grenade Thermal Goggles Binoculars [/hider] [hider=Kirin] MK 32 (Grenade Launcher) [img]http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/callofduty/images/3/3b/MK32_Menu_Icon_CoDG.png/revision/latest?cb=20131122192236[/img] LFP 586 (Revolver) [img]https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/rainbowsix/images/3/3f/Lfp586-image.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20151209203704[/img] 3x C4 Charges 4x Frag Grenades 2x Incendiary Grenades 2x Land Mines 2x Shock Grenades [/hider] [hider=Rusty] M249 SAW (LMG) [img]https://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/specops/images/a/ab/M249_SAW_model.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/2000?cb=20150328004048[/img] 'Shotgun Bill' (Sawn Off) [img]http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/battlefield/images/b/be/Sawed_Off_Shotgun_Icon_Color.png/revision/latest?cb=20161018194547[/img] 2x Incendiary Grenades 2x Frag Grenades Extra Body Armor [/hider] After the weapons were all given out, the 5 cadets all headed towards the tank, it was cleaned, fully loaded and had an urban camo dot print now with the name 'Izayoi' signed on the cannon. Just as they were climbing in, Abe ran towards the Tank making sure no one else was watching him as he spoke to the crew. [b]Abe:[/b] [i]You have a choice, crew. Kiwami is thinking what is most diplomatic for the village and I respect that, but I still have my honor, and I'm sure you all do too. You know that the Yakuza had something to do with the destruction of your academy, or at the very least they know something about it. Instead of going to Valk Crater, you can take a journey to the [b]North-view Outpost[/b]. I've been gathering intelligence for months now. That's where the local Yakuza who have been terrorizing us have been hiding out. Instead of paying them off, go there and blast those scum off the map!! We can recover resources from there and we wont have to worry about reprisal for at least 3 months. the chain of communication is poorly organized. Obviously it would be riskier, and the journey would take longer but we could put a real dent in the enemy for once. Two good people died this morning because of them.....but of course it's your call....[/i] And with that, Abe was off, back to the town hall. The Bastion crew were in the tank now. It was time to make a choice... [h3][b][i]Decision Time![/i][/b][/h3] - [b]Recover Silver from Valk Crater[/b] - [b]Challenge the Yakuza at North-View Outpost[/b][/center]
