[Open] For mingling with the Major

[unyieldingspirit]

K'pandolu nodded, tucking that information away for now. Now probably wasn't the best time to look into that, but she was curious. And assuming they came through this, she could investigate further then. "That sounds as though it would be strange to wake up to." She bowed slightly, one hand over her heart. "Thank you for indulging me."

She straightened, ear flicking as she considered.

"Strange is indeed the best way to put it, point of fact."

Sephiroth wasn't about to go into details regarding the fact that he'd remained in the hospital for several days after the fact to attempt to resolve the knocks to his sense of reality and time that his displaced recollection had triggered. Especially since he had resolved to put it firmly to one side so that he might continue with moving forwards in the here-and now.

He didn't need it looming over his head while he had to plan for a war.

"Going back to the topic at hand." He picked up after an extended silence, as if to firmly direct his thoughts in that way as well. "I will say this though, the force that is expected to fall upon the City is considerable in size. It's important that we try to convince as many citizens to leave as possible."

K'pandolu nodded, accepting the change of direction. "I'll be a part of that effort," she said. "One of the others suggested going district by district, and I agreed to cover the fourth." She paused for a moment, thinking. "Do we have a list of volunteers for the task? It would make sense ensure the districts have all been covered at least once."

"We've nothing quite so organized yet, but as I said, the general defense of Aqures is to fall to the Law Enforcement. You might want to take that suggestion up with Mars- Inspector Nevada."

It wasn't exactly her fault but K'pandolu had inadvertently made him feel like it should all be better planned out by now than what it was. The attack wasn't expected to hit for a few weeks yet; they had time to get everyone out who would go. It was those that were left that Sephiroth could see being an issue. The last thing he wanted was the deaths of half of the citizenry hanging around his conscious; then again strictly speaking it wasn't his responsibility.

"We may have to consider using one of the districts as a garrison, to prevent them from swarming over the City with their superior numbers but everything is yet to be finalized."

K'pandolu nodded, making a note of that. "I'll do that, then. Thank you." for this- for all that was to come.

Perhaps it was more than should be expected at this point- but the better to gather ideas, and put them together in time.

"To keep them in place? One of the outer districts, I take it?" It made good strategic sense, if she thought about it. They'd have to try and ensure those districts were completely evacuated, then.

"Yes." He answered shortly, his upper lip curling a little as he thought more on an idea that had only recently come into his mind.

"It's much more efficient, given our resources, to hold off on one or two fronts as opposed to several. A lot of consideration will have to be put into which district though; there are points of interest in every district. Not to mention architecture that's been here before we came...I'm not sure if it would be right to write something like that off as collateral damage."

[unyieldingspirit]

"That's true," K'pandolu acknowledged, and frowned, thinking. "I doubt we'll be able to entirely keep the buildings from being damaged, wherever we fight… I take it that would fall under Inspector Nevada's purview as well, then?"

"Right." Sephiroth acknowledged, resolved for the time being to put these concerns into a box in his mind for considering later on. There was a lot of planning left to do still and exactly how they might use Aqures Ixen to shore up its own defenses was yet to be determined.

"We have, at least, the advantage of home-turf. There may yet be certain streets that we can effectively blockade as well to enforce a crowd controlling tactic."

[unyieldingspirit]

K'pandolu nodded. "Then that should go into the consideration for each district," she said. "As well as the potential barricades we can raise. I'll see what other ideas I can gather."

[shinrasfinest]

"Exactly. There are main thoroughfares I know well enough from the time I've spent here." A light grin formed on Sephiroth's mouth while he rested on that thought; coming to terms with the common sense that had landed him with the job of heading the military force. While he wasn't a local, he did know Aqures Ixen better than most Esdham soldiers.

"By all means, any potential strategy we can use should at least be considered."

He then nodded, indicating clearly that it was the end of the discussion for now. Sephiroth was never one for small talk and they had chatted a lot more than he was comfortable in doing already.
