[color=fffb96]"Naturally, I'm in as well,"[/color] August affirmed to the Director without standing up, [color=fffb96]"After all, no single force should dominate the entire world. Some amount of conflict is required to keep things active..Even if their cruelty is not aimed at us, the Greys receiving their wish can only make the world a sad and stagnant place."[/color] It was a fine answer, but ultimately a perfunctory one. August had received his task, one that also offered a chance at a wish, and so he had no doubt of his own commitment, as his expression made clear. [color=fffb96][i]If Orson is providing a private plane, I think I'll take along a few extra weapons.[/i][/color] He considered the sorts of tools that might be required to deal with a challenge on this scale, as well as what functions might be made obsolete by the presence of Servants, before reserving that train of thought for after the meeting had concluded.

August glanced briefly around the room, and his thoughts were taken to the relic contained in his briefcase. [color=fffb96]"It seems that all the Masters of Black have been brought together, but we're still missing our Servants. Director, should we clear these chairs for a summoning circle, or do you have another room reserved for that purpose?"[/color] As he said this, August rose to his feet, clearly prepared to act on either answer. Although he was still processing everything he had learned from the briefing, nothing that had been revealed so far had given him significant pause, and while he valued the strategic information that had come to light and there were obviously various details that would have to be investigated and dealt with on site, in that moment he was simply prepared to take the next significant step towards becoming a true faction in the Great Holy Grail War. August thought of his briefcase and his allies whose capabilities he had learned of so far. [color=fffb96]"The sooner we summon our Servants and see what they're made of, the sooner a real strategy can take form."[/color]
