It wasn't like today was anything different for Jack. With that being bloody freaking said it didn't make it any less tedious. Paperwork to send out to the requestioniers so they can buy their shit on the black market. Next to were Major Harold Dmitri from France, one of the key soldiers in the elite squad Aces and Hearts whom were known in Bulgaria for opposing, and winning, against Bradley of the Knights of the Round before he had been reassigned to the Russia Front. Harold was a good man, but he didn't talk much which Jack was both grateful for, and a little annoyed at. How could he really get to know Harold if he was as quiet as a brick. Harold was filling out forms for ammo, and medical equipment for him. "Ya know I really was expecting this assignment to have move of those beautiful women. I mean I guess that assassin chick we work with is hot, and the lieutenant isn't half bad but I was hoping for more eye candy you know." came the somewhat sarcastic voice of Raphael Garcia Russo from his left. Garcia....was not what you would expect from a man who survived the Spanish Coast Blitz. He was a fervent womanizer, a git, and a good friend. Garcia had been with Jack since he went back to the E.U. at first and became the man he is now. It'd taken a bit before he had gotten use to Garcia's antics but that's true for most people.
"You know, you flipping idiot, we're going to meet the General soon. I'd recommend not being you while we're there. I'd like to walk our with your limbs still attached to your body if need be. You're an idiot, but you're my idiot." Jack said frankly to Garcia who smiled and chuckled. "Also I'd like to remind you-" Jack started before Defense Specialist Aoi Amori interrupted him from his right. "That such talk is both unwelcome, and unneeded here at Kyushu you pig. We're freedom fighters and all you see is eye candy? Scum..." Aoi growled as Jack cringed, and Garcia shrugged it off. Aoi was with them because Jack had been expecting the mobile forces. "Yes there's that and the fact that he's a walking talking asshat but that's all besides the point Miss Aoi. Please though refrain from calling my men scum if at all possible." Jack stated firmly as Aoi frowned and acknowledged the order. Aoi was covered with scars all over her face, and arms. Probably more underneath the clothes. She had been fighting Britannia ever since they entered her ghetto in northern Osaka. She'd been captured, beaten, and even tortured by Britannians in her life time. Before she'd have been a beautiful women. Now she was hurt, cold, and ready to kill any Brit she found. "Aye I am wounded madam. To be called such foul things from my brother, and you my beautiful madam hurts oh so much. Perhaps some tequila later-" Garcia began before Harold slowly looked over at him and shook his head which shut him up.
"Look we're still going to meet the boss. I want all of you, and yes I'm including you too Amori, to get along while we're in front of him. I may not be the boss of you specifically Miss but I just want to make sure we're all good. After all I am also Japanese by law." Jack stated. He remembered all too well what respect meant in Japan now of days. He was the adopted son of Nagamasa Azai after all. Nagamasa was a good man and he intended to live up to his old step dad's ideals. If only until he got done with this whole mess and freed Ireland. He wanted to see his old family more than anything. Jack passed off his notes to Harold who acknowledged them and departed down the hall they were walking down towards the staircases. He needed to go to a different room. Amori told Jack she'd be on her best attitude for General Sho.
As they entered the room a few of the other officers did as well. Sho acknowledged all of them. Jack stood there in his black E.U. Officer's uniform and saluted his acting commanding officer. "Commander of W-1, Jack Blake reporting in for mission briefing sir." Jack stated before taking his place to the direct left of Azai as Amori bowed very respectfully to Sho Kurasaki but spoke no words before sitting directly opposite of Engineer Roberts. Garcia ran up to the General after saluting and knelt down next to him. "'Ey boss you got a good mission for us right? Sounds like this is going to be a good one eh? Come on 'Showtime' give us the scoop. Is it dan-" Garcia said before Sho looked directly into his eyes and calmly asked him, "Did I not ask you last time to just sit down next time you came into the war room? I will answer all your questions soon enough Corporal Garcia." Sho told Garcia as he chuckled and nodded as Amori sat there glaring daggers at him. Jack simply sat there silently not bothering to reprimand him at this point. Garcia had all the tact of a elephant seal during mating season and everyone knew it. Garcia sat down next to Fuuka and smiled over at the cold assassin. "Ah hello there my beautiful Mon'Amie! How is your day going my deadly little black widow? Same as always I assume?" Garcia said with a wink, and a warm smile.
"At ease all of you. Except Corporal Russo of course. We're waiting for finalized results from the information experts before proceeding with the next operation. Gods willing I will be sending all of you out today on a mission to destroy a Britannian Knightmare Shipment off the coast of the mainland. However I'm sure most of you know that already. I am having our officers double check to make sure that all of you are ready to risk you lives with a chance of return. I'd prefer not to waste my best, and finest out there." General Sho said calmly and with a steely edge to it.
