It seemed as though they were getting right down to business. The Kirins as a group didn't particularly needed a lot of convincing, their unique blend of idealism and valheim hatred seemed to be enough. In a way, the straightforwardness of their business was refreshing from the constant politicking of Edren nobility- they reminded Galahad of his army days. Almost immediately several of them began chiming in, discussion concerns and options. Piggybacking off of his own initial thoughts and fears, Izayoi more or less condensed their methods of attack into a set of three plans: A prison raid on a highly fortified former magistrate's office, an attack on the execution procession, or rescuing Hien mid-execution, though it more or less seemed like the last option was a desperate last hail should everything else go wrong. 

From what he could deduce, some small amount of local forces were available to them, though with their limited numbers and Renzo's apparent protestations, it seemed as though Team Kirin were going to be doing the vast amount of the heavy lifting in whatever plan they took on. 

[color=lightblue]"Whichever plan we go with, we should work with the assumumption that Reisa is waiting and ready for us. Even if she isn't, we should be prepared for a tough fight."[/color] Galahad chimed in, his tone even and clear. Not quite the same tone he took when he was in Edren's army, but obvious enough that he was in a relative comfort zone. 

[color=lightblue]"A raid on the convoy might be the lightest target we'll hit, and happens to fall well into my own personal wheelhouse."[/color] The Dragoon noted. [color=lightblue]"The relative open space let's us use our big tools- like Eve and Miina's magic to their fullest extent, but Hien will be exposed to the chaos the entire time."[/color] Galahad's brow furrowed a bit, [color=lightblue]"They will be alert and expecting someone to try something, not to mention there's a potential crowd to worry about, [I]and[/i] without an exact route plan, we're guessing where they'll be and adapting on the move. Not untenable, but too many moving parts, too many variables. "[/color] 

Turning to their potentially new Osprean allies, Galahad quickly regarded Ciradyl and Renzo. [color=lightblue]"Do any of your agents have an idea of what the inside of the magistrate's office looks like? Perhaps worked there before the occupation or is currently embedded there now?"[/color] 

Pouring over their provided map, Galahad checked the relative locations of streets and alleys to the office, all of the potential routes to get in and out of the place. [color=lightblue]"I think a strike on the detention center will have the most opposition, but the least amount of unknowns. I'd rather put trust in our fighting abilities than fate and luck. A raid at night might catch them unaware, which also plays in our favor."[/color] 

[color=lightblue]"More than the detention center garrison, my biggest worry is the reinforcements they bring to the fight once things are kicked off- that's where an infiltration team will come in handy. We need a way to cripple their ability to communicate, whether that means taking out their radio communications or cutting down any runners leaving the building. Along with taking out any targets of opportunity will pave the way for the extraction force to punch through and find Hien."[/color]

Turning to Izayoi, Galahad offered the mystrel woman a wry grin. [color=lightblue]"Regardless of how we go in, it goes without saying it's probably best if you're on the extraction team. If Hien only sees this-"[/color] Galahad tapped knowingly on his Dragoon helmet sitting on the table, [color=lightblue]"I think he'd be less inclined to follow, he'll recognize you though, right?"[/color]
