There are a lot of things I can say here. I can chastise all of us for how discussions went before. But that's not important. People are in danger, and they're people who have helped us. I haven't made it a secret that I think Morningstar doesn't deserve devotion from us. The thing is, there's a difference between devotion and helping out someone who's helped you. It's time for us to do the latter. My issues don't mean anything. We know Morningstar can do good work.

So, let's talk. Let's plan. We should all do it in the same place.

I want to lay some ground rules.

1. Even if we've been asked to use the weapons only to stun any assailants, a number of us know it's not that simple. So, let's skip the morality talk about whether or not that's okay. Sorry, Gaby. I actually trust most people won't go in guns blazing. [She actually wouldn't if there weren't "civilians" involved. She's still not sure she does now, but that's unimportant. White lies have a place here.] Self-defense is a thing. Let's all trust one another.

2. I have a lot of questions about this. We all do. But we have a limited time to pull this off. Let's try to focus on what we can do and then figure out the rest later. If you think you can get answers now that can help us? Bring it forward. Make a new reply to draw eyes to it.

3. I figure we have two separate directions we can go, but we need all hands on deck. If you're not comfortable handling a gun, take the address for the safehouses and get them set up.

4. Nothing "funny" about these rules. Which means the first thing you're all going to say is ... about my rules. Get it out of your system.

[There is a lot more to say, a lot more to add, but Clarke knows that it likely isn't her place to talk about it. Plus, some of these people are adults, even if they don't act like it. Maybe they won't make a joke about her rules.

... But she bets they will.]

edit: Daisy set up a useful map for everyone. Keep it updated as best as you can.

[ooc: this is the previously discussed and set up IC planning post for the event! Clarke won't be replying to everyone.]

Running into battle without having formed a strategy is foolish. You think these trained soldiers aren't prepared for an attack? They'll obliterate us if we're aimless.

Adaptability is important on the field, but it won't mean shit if you don't have a proper foundation.

[ofobedience]

I have the foundation and the adaptibility, both.

[Though perhaps he ought to use that adaptability to play as part of a team :|]

[kometes]

By yourself, you won't be contributing to any cause. Acting on your own makes you an easy target for the enemy to pick off.

You're a part of this army. If you're strong, that just means you'll be stronger with the team. Now cooperate or stay out of the way.

[ofobedience]

And what makes you think you're in any position to lead?

[Never mind that, in actuality, Giovanni has always been someone who works best under orders.]

[kometes]

Because I offered.

[ That's logic for you right there. ]

If you're not interested in teamwork, then you have no place working under me. I don't have much patience as it is.

If you do join me, I will have your back and I will leave mine to you.

[ofobedience]

It would be useful to know whether you have experience with giving direction.

[Or whether you're just a narcissist who wants to be in the spotlight, he needs to know.]

[kometes]

I was once the general of an army of the greatest Achaean warriors.

Of course I've got experience.

[ofobedience]

See now, that's information I can work with. I'll follow you.

[kometes]

Then get your ass over here. [ Insert location. ]

[ofobedience]

With pleasure.

[and off he'll go.]
