Will keep an eye on this.
I did. I don't expect him to fight. I only expect him to let me know if he does see something come into the apartment. Whether its through a pistol round, a bloodcurling scream, or a call from the radio. I don't know. But, he is essentially serving as an early warning system for me. The 30 second thing was to make sure that he doesn't die without anyone of us knowing and if he does die, then he would be quiet and I would have the right to be suspicious that he passed away, From blood loss and his existing wounds, or from something else... I wouldn't know, but I would know that he died some how and that I need to be more careful.
South East - James

This place was simply... strange. Yes, the buildings were not in perfect conditions with various levels of decepitness, but in most urban neighborhoods, at least in New York, there was some sort of overgrowth. Grass typically grew through numerous cracks in the road and side walk and it was not uncommon to see vines climb up buildings. Simply, nature was left to consume all that and tried to pave over it. However, this street was bare of vegetation, and it bothered James. Then there was that fabled fog. The so called Dark Zone. He had been briefed about supposedly what the fog can do to people and what lived in the fog. Still, words can not compare to the actual thing. A wall of mist, smoke, or whatever one would call it was simply there. It looked like it was barely moving, but apparently the fog had been making steady advances as of late. This unsettled James even more. Chemical warfare was not something that he was used to. In fact, this was the first time in his life that he was going to have to use a gas mask. He was not exactly sure how the gas mask works to prevent gas from entering his lungs, but the officers assured him that it would help him for a little bit. Thus, James had to have faith. He had to have faith in science that they made his equipment work properly. He also had to have faith in his officers that they were looking out for him and telling the truth.

Thus, James took one last breath through his mouth and donned the mask. Who knew what the fog would do. It could potentially move up 100 meters in a second randomly. So, it was better to be safe than sorry. James took himself and began walking to the apartment. He then said into the radio "I'll be taking up a position in the apartment. Not much of a fan of fighting so close to the enemy. So, I guess I'll be giving you guys on the road some support fire, and keep the Sergeant some company. I've got a rocket launcher with two rounds, so if you need a heavy punch, then let me know. Also, if it comes down to it, then I can give you guys some covering fire if you need to fall back. Although, I'm not sure how much I can suppress the enemy just by myself. Sergeant, I'm going to trust you to keep things from sneaking up behind me. Can you keep contact with me in every 30 second interval? I don't want you to go quiet on me all of sudden." James then took up a position at a window that oversaw the street with his assault rifle. He took care to hide in the shadows that the building provided so that something from outside wouldn't be able to see his easily. Finally, he lifted his rifle and began scanning the fog with his thermal scope, hoping to get a glimpse of anything coming in this direction before it left the fog.
Well, finals just ended for me. Now, I am free!
INTERESTED!!! The second I read about the possible system that you may be using garnered my attention completely.
Interested! Ever read the book "One Second After"?
Ryuunosuke could not help but simply nod in response to Haruo-san's question. Ryuu did not want to lie about Hatamoto-san's arrival since the Boar Clan likely knew. Rather, Haruo-san was likely trying to find out or get something in regards to the issue. Thus, Ryuunosuke continued to say "Indeed, he came and asked to remain here so that he could continue to learn and grow stronger. He seemed quite determined to better himself and took his responsibilities as the heir to the Boar Clan. Therefore, I allowed him to stay here until he felt that he was strong enough to be able to lead the Boar Clan. Although, I must admit that he seemed to be fixated on the fact that strength meant martial prowess and the ability to fight with sword and bow. Although, it is understandable why he does have such a fixation considering the Boar Clan's history. What is it that you would like in regards to him? I must admit that I do not like meddling in the affairs of families, so I can not guarantee anything. However, I will consider any reasonable requests."
2 more finals left on my end. Saturday, at 10 AM, I will be free.
Ryuunosuke nodded with his eyes never breaking contact with Haruo's. The mood had definitely turned more serious than before. Thus, Ryuu solemnly responded "I understand your concern Haruo-san. It appears that you are very well aware of the situation that I face. The branch family in the capital has certainly stepped a bit too far out of line. Therefore, my first step as the new leader of the Wolf Clan is to consolidate my power. See who is still loyal, and see who is threatening the stability of the nation. Then, I plan to have provocateurs stomped out, but that does not have to be through military might. In the end, I must secure the loyalty and trust of my people. I plan to wage a war of hearts and minds rather than a war of swords and bows within my nation. The people will be the ones who ultimately root out anyone who seeks to profit from my uncle's reclusiveness. Then, under a unified banner, we will then reclaim Fort Saida and settle it to establish a clear buffer and signal that the Wolf Clan has not lost any of its power. Rather, this will be a symbol that the Wolf Clan is more united and stronger than ever."

Ryuunosuke then took a moment, and continued "Although, I must express some concern as well. My plan requires time, which the Tiger Clan could potentially not provide. It is very possible that in the midst of my attempt to consolidate the Wolf Clan's power that the Tiger will strike. I do not doubt that my people will be able to rally together to push the Tiger back, but the losses will be significant. On the other hand though, I believe that there are others who may want to maintain the current balance of power. If push comes to shove, these people, I believe, can be convinced to pressure the Tiger Clan from launching a significant attack. I also think that, perhaps, a catalyst that can unify my people is a war against the Tiger Clan. The future is impossible to predict, but I am ready to face the infinite choices that I must make and the challenges that await me."
Ryuunosuke was a bit taken back by the friendliness of Haruo-san, who claimed to be a family friend. Although it was very possible that he was a family friend, Ryuu could not help but remind himself that a friend of his parents does not translate to a friend of his. He may be the son of Daichi, but he is not Daichi. Ryuunosuke was his own person. Therefore, he could not easily accept and trust this person as a close friend. Ryuu put on a cordial smile and said "It is an honor to be able to host a friend of my parents, Hatamoto-san. I welcome you to the Wolf's Den. I hope your journey was not too difficult. However, I have always been told that the men of the Boar Clan are hearty and sturdy as pine trees. It appears that was an understatement. In fact, perhaps I should ask if you enjoyed your hike?" in an attempt to continue the friendly and light hearted ambiance by making a small joke.

"But yes, I am doing well here and a large part of it is due to my uncle's care. He has taken up more spiritual pursuits such as meditation, but I assure you that he has seen to my well being more many years." Ryuu said. He then took a close look at Haruo. The man was indubitably as close to a giant as Ryuunosuke had ever seen. If Haruo was a representation of the average male in the Boar Clan, then it would certainly be terrifying to be on the receiving end of a charge. Ryuu could not help but also remember what the heir apparent of the Boar Clan said of his people. They respected physical strength and the ability to fight. In fact, it was painfully obvious that this respect for physical strength was embedded deeply within their culture. The journey to gain respect among his people would be hard for the heir of the Boar Clan.

Ryuunosuke snapped himself out of his brief reverie and said "Now then Hatamoto-san, is there anything that you would like to discuss more in detail? I am sure that there are many things that you may want to ask or talk about now that I am before you after all these years."
