But Abe offered them an alternative in secret, he let the group know where the local Yakuza outpost was, and gave them the option to hunt them down. The group was split on the issue, [b]Theo Weber[/b] and [b]Hana Kozlov[/b] advised to stick to the original plan of getting the silver to pay the taxes. While the other 3 including the Field Commander [b]Sara Lancaster[/b] were unwilling to overlook the crimes of the syndicate and decided they would go and kill them, possibly acquiring the silver at a later date. The team departed for [b]northview outpost[/b] with a very dangerous mission to clear out the enemy.[/center]
