Listen up. I'm sure you all saw that little threat about "war" in Olivine, so I'm gonna say straight up: don't do anything rash. I bet you anything that he wants to lure us there. Thinks we'll be clueless enough to rush out and reveal ourselves with the smallest threat.

Now, those bombs aren't small by any means, but if we're gonna protect Olivine to the fullest, we need a plan. This isn't something we can charge into and expect an easy victory. With stuff like this, there's always a catch.

So my question for you guys is this: how many of you are dead set on going to Olivine? I think we should be careful about how many of our members we send. The last thing we need's to reveal all our cards at this stage, especially when we're still trying to rebuild the Corps. More importantly, we've got more to worry about than engaging this guy. What about evacuations? Giving the residents a heads up? The locals don't really keep tabs on the 'Gears from what I can tell. There's a few ways we can approach this.

So, I'm gonna open up the floor to any suggestions, plans, or whatever else you want to bring to the table. The PGC's a group effort, and every one of your opinions counts.

One would hope, but I'm trying to cover all our bases. We want the person delivering the message to seem as collected and believable as possible. She needs to take us seriously.

Don't get me wrong, if no one more experienced steps up I will deliver the message myself, I just want to put it out there in case there is someone properly suited to this kind of thing.

[Considering Maka comes from a world where the only requirement for being forgiven by Lord Death is saying you're sorry and you won't do it again, actual professional diplomacy might not be a thing she's aware of.]

You're collected and believable to me, but I guess if there's some adult that's done diplomatic things we should be sure we have someone like that before proceeding.

[See the same thing is more or less true in Equestria... but other countries with their own leaders exist in her world.]

And if not, it falls to me. Or maybe Riku but he'd probably delegate the task to me anyway.
