This may not be news to those of us in the Advance Party, but I'm sure you've all heard by now. Things in Caldera are indeed grim, but there is hope thanks to our arrival. Now is the time for us to work together, not just as citizens of Union, but as sensible people and pokemon alike. We should all strive to resolve this conflict with as little aggression as necessary, though I imagine whatever actions we see from Gigas in the next few days will determine more of what'll happen next.

Regardless, we'll be sending caravans from here to Union where the Council, as you know, has agreed to provide them with shelter. I expect those who have decided to stay behind in Union will be able to assist with these efforts-- Remember, every able hand helps! Whoops, I've been talking for quite a bit, haven't I. [ He chuckles a bit awkwardly. ] O-obviously, it's all up to you.

[ filtered to the Swords ]

All available members of the Swords who have joined us in the Advance Party, barring those whose experience yields them certain rights, are to report to Garen, Ky and I for instruction on how to proceed in our aid of Caldera. While you're here, I want you all to keep in mind that each of you is an ambassador in a foreign city, and your actions reflect not only the Swords' but all of Union. So please be on your best behavior.

Those of you who have stayed behind are no less crucial to the relief effort, either. While we can hope there won't be any sort of conflicts with all the refugees moving in, it doesn't hurt to be vigilant. The presence of a few of our officers would no doubt help ease any tension between the refugees and our own citizens. I can't predict that there will or won't be any altercations, but remember it is our code to act on the Savior's behalf, in a way She would approve.

[ Hans is overseeing some role calls with the citizens, idly patting his ponyta's side as he looks over some of what has become Union's supply camp. He looks regal and noble and wow, he's just such a prince, all decked in his finest uniform. He's going all out with this appearance thing, his smile warm and easy. Though y'know, with that horse of his he actually looks a bit... relaxed, for once. Not a thing that tends to happen with him around pokemon. ]

I think I'll name you... Sitron. Do you like that?

And what would you say is 'on our best behavior'?

[ Robin is this really the time-- ]

[ How many times has he heard this one-- Ah, but Hans speaks with conviction. Good thing this is voice, so Robin doesn't catch him rolling his eyes. ]

We're all ambassadors of goodwill in this city, and Caldera has been kind enough to let us into their walls and accept our assistance. I'd hope it wouldn't be too much to ask that we all behave in a way befitting a representative of the Savior. Isn't that why we all came here in the first place?

[ He only half-listens because he's already heard this. It's just amusing to hear them have to repeat this every time someone asks the same question.

But after the question is answer Robin will stop being a brat and actually start talking like a Swords. ]

Yeah, it is. And it looks like they need it. Now isn't the time to be thinking of ourselves or our positions besides being a member of the Sword. But if you need anyone to do something that doesn't look like they hold a title I'm your guy.

[ Hans sighs. ~~Damn kid, that's exactly what he meant, good eye.~~ ]

Obviously, helping people comes first. I'm just trying to remind everyone that for a lot of people, we're their first contact with Union. First impressions are extremely important, especially if we plan to stick around until things have been resolved.

[ There's a reason why he's on the Swords at his young age. Even if he doesn't act like it sometimes. ]

Right. Maybe any Swords who are better with people or don't look threatening should go and help with the refugees? While those who aren't good at handling people to play different parts.

[ Sure, he's only a youngin' in the Sword but he'll still offer his suggestion. ]

Good idea. We'll take that into consideration.

[ Hans replies, thankfully. ~~Upstart brat.~~ ]

Though for now Gigas has yet to make a move, so we're focusing on relief more than anything else. We'll hand out more orders as things develop... but our focus should be on protecting Caldera's citizens above all.

From what I can tell the Pokemon in this city are very volatile. I'm going to take a guess and say that no matter what we need to stay in a group. Going out alone at this time almost seems like a death wish.

Agreed. They have every reason to be startled, with so many strangers in their city, but they all seem very powerful as well. Not the best combination.

I'll make sure to tell anyone of our members to stay in groups if they can. That goes for you as well, of course.

Of course. I don't plan on dying here; I have a feeling this might just be the beginning of something even bigger.
