[Morning: Outside of Town]

Since they came back from Aqures Tosf, Olivier has been spending most of her mornings and nights patrolling the perimeter of Aqures Ixen. It's not that she doesn't trust the military or law enforcement, but she knows the forces are spread a bit thin at the moment. This morning she can be found standing atop a small hill looking out across the plains.

[Day: Around Town]

Now that she has mastered how to use her motorbike, Olivier has been spending her days helping transport materials from one end of town to another. When she sees a house being worked on, she will stop to make sure they have everything they need. Including enough hands. 

[Night: A-11 Locked]

Those who made it to the meeting will be greeted by Alexandria at the door and led to the living room where Olivier has set up a circle of chairs. There is a small table stacked with an assortment of cookies, cup, and a fresh pot of coffee. Once everyone is there and seated, she will join everyone.

"In light of recent revelations, I think it is important to evaluate the plan to infiltrate the prison."

Comments

"Leaving our crystals behind is a valid option, I think," Ashelia answered, sipping on a cup of coffee. It was bitter, but she liked it that way. "They will come when called, regardless of the distance. Without a research department at our backs, I should think it impossible to tell whether that will effect the Calamity's spread or not, but..."

She shifted in her seat, looking very, very tired for a half-second. "Leaving people, felons or not, to be crystallized at the hands of the Calamity is not an option, as far as I'm concerned; 'tis also entirely possible an avatar is amongst them. Though you do raise a good point, Marshal." She nodded at Sparks. "Perhaps we can look into ways these men and women can be reintegrated into society, perhaps helping to rebuild Aqures Ixen."

Olivier listens carefully to all of their input, but no one has brought up what has been bothering her.

"We don't have to let them loose when we return. If the prisons here are anything like back home, there will be files on the inmates. We can try and bring those with us. As for the crystals, I'm not sure we can leave them behind, but we can plan an airship ride without our crystals to see if leaving them behind changes anything for us."

She pauses a moment, looking around the room. She believes that she can trust these people gathered here. There are a few more she trusts who aren't here, but she wasn't going to ask all of them to go with her.

"I spoke with Cid, Wedge, and Biggs about this plan. Then Ashelia's mission to get the submarine came up. Can we trust that Palitutu doesn't have a trap in wait for us? I need to know if any of you spoke with anyone else about going to the prison."

Daisy looked down at the proposal of leaving their crystals behind. She remembered what Doctor Kalki did to the heroes of light time ago.

"I remember," Daisy spoke, "when I was in prison, that Tazendra and I found files of Dr. Kalki experimenting on heroes of light. She warped their crystals, transformed them, and in other cases... it implied it would destroy their worlds. It made sense with a dream that existed time ago."

To Daisy, it felt as if the crystals were everything now.

"Regardless... I think we should act as if there was still a trap. It's going to be a heavily endangered zone with the Calamity, and I'd prefer to be as ready as possible."

Sparks's expression sours at the mention of Kalki's crystal experimentation. He saw first hand how true that was. All the more reason to leave theirs behind, just in case.

"Of course it could be a trap. Can't trust the Empire. But considerin' everything that just happened with them, my guess is that the chances are a lot lower. We sent 'em scrambling in the war. They might not have enough forces to cover prison security as well as before."

"It'd depend on what kind of security they have at the prison already. Especially if there's only one way in, or out." Vincent hazarded, quiet as he thought things through. "If we intend to go through with it, a small group that can hit hard and fast if needed is probably best, with everyone clear that it might be a suicide mission effectively."

Looking to Ashelia, he had met her only once. "There was no issue with leaving our crystals behind before, correct? No ill effects?"
