[Locked to DATS Members]

Well, we've all seen Omegamon's declaration.

And it sucks. For everyone. The worst part is that we can't do anything about it as an organization. The commanders are still trying to determine our official stance here, but I can tell everyone right now that our hands are tied here. We can't stand against Omegamon, and unlike with Ravemon, it is unlikely that we'll be able to muster the support of Area Leaders to stand against him.

The Dark Area's made a lot of enemies, and even if they hadn't, Omegamon leads the foremost army in the digital world. Nobody else even comes close to him. If anyone moves against him, they get erased from history. It's that simple.

I've put out an independent call to arms. Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of information for them, or for you. The invasion down there caught us off guard, and most of our insiders are dead or in the stockade. To say we're hurting for intelligence is an understatement, and we're forming plans for reconnaissance missions. But as of right now, we are more or less blind down there. The only thing I can say for certain is that the Virus Busters stopped at the Poyi Mountains, and King Bowser Koopa's territory expanded until they met the Virus Busters, and now there seems to be some sort of truce between them.

Whatever the case, there are people out there who are not willing to let this state of affairs stand. If you want to join them, go ahead. I'll personally see to it that your paychecks get accounting errors in your favor.

But if you get caught, you are not operating as DATS members. You will be disavowed. And I can't promise that a rescue will be forthcoming.

If you've got any questions... now's the time to ask them. I'll do my best to fill you in.

But... again... we're hurting for intelligence. I don't HAVE a lot of answers for certain questions.

You forget, Kyon.

I was in the thrall of a dark power for a considerable while.

I know a lot more about moving in the shadows than I would like to.
unreliablenarrarator: (We'll have to abort this mission)

[personal profile] unreliablenarrarator 2012-06-07 06:56 am (UTC)(link)
I try to not dwell on those things.

... Now here is a better question, what about the people who care about you?
knightofswords: (Thoughtful)

[personal profile] knightofswords 2012-06-07 06:57 am (UTC)(link)
...

My job is already a dangerous one where I could die at any moment.

This is no different.
unreliablenarrarator: (The... FACEPALM)

[yare yare]

If you say so. But it is something to consider.
knightofswords: (Serious)

[personal profile] knightofswords 2012-06-07 07:05 am (UTC)(link)
More to consider is what happens if this can't be stemmed off before he sets his sights on other places.

Then the people I care about are in immediate danger.

Trying to do something is far more preferable.
unreliablenarrarator: (... Shut up Koizumi)

[personal profile] unreliablenarrarator 2012-06-07 07:08 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not saying "sit on your ass and do nothing". I'm saying be careful.
knightofswords: (Smile)

[personal profile] knightofswords 2012-06-07 07:09 am (UTC)(link)
But of course.

The concern is appreciated, however.
unreliablenarrarator: (My face is always red)

[personal profile] unreliablenarrarator 2012-06-07 07:16 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, well... Someone has to be concerned with how many of the shonen-types we've got in DATS!

Not that I'm saying you're like that just. This can go sour fast and. [mumble he's just gonna... shut up.]
knightofswords: (Confident)

[personal profile] knightofswords 2012-06-08 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
Sure.

Of course they can.

I'd rather it be someone who's been tasked with such perilous missions on their own before, however.
unreliablenarrarator: (You're making my head hurt)

[personal profile] unreliablenarrarator 2012-06-08 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
I'd rather it be no one, but that's not going to happen.

[deep breath then, louder]


Point, but that's not going to stop the more hot-headed types we've got around here.
