RearAdmiralZill:
*Zill blankly looks at Yiski and PapaP.*

I have as much reason as anybody to despise the Council. I didnt go in there to gain permission to track these feathered idiots down. I was going to do it regardless. However, with the Council letting us take the lead, we dont have to worry about them throwing Elites at us, and I can summon half the Anvalan fleet to bury these birds into the dust if I see reason to.

Since id rather not have Council goons breathing down our necks, I can detach troops to Port Tar Barrel. Any supplies we need can come from me or PapaP.

*Directly looks at Yiski and puts a hand on his shoulder.*

The Council isnt our fight right now. The people who shot Roland are.

BdrLineAzn:
--Vychtorg--
*Zankif is working closely with his men trying to find any information pertaining to the seal he recieved from BdrLine*
*He and a few other are in his warehouse with different books and files out in the open*
*A few feet from them, a table with various radios are running, each being operated by some more personal*

*From one of these radios, a person is quickly writing on a parchment*
*He gets up and heads to Zankif*
Boss, think we found something

*Zankif looks up from the file he is reading*
Really? What is it then.

Well one of our teams has spotted the seal on what looks like an old factory north west of Selogarod.

*Confused by this, Zankif takes the parchment from him and reads the message*
North west of Selogarod? The only thing there are the craters. There is no information about anything being built on those lands on the files we have. Are you sure this is accurate?

Yes this came from our best scout team and you know how good they are in the field.

Very well then, i pass this along to BdrLine

*Zankif then goes to the radio and dials in BdrLine's frequency*

--Chang-ning--
*Niko is at the Archives of the Scholar's Palace*
*He is at the Pre-World Section of the Archives*

*As he looks through a book, he is thinking to himself*
*Sigh* Don't know how Azn gets himself into this much trouble. I mean another attempt on the Empire, what nut case tries to take it over?

*As Niko was arguing with himself about the topic, something in the book caught his eye*
*It was the symbol that he received the other day from BdrLine, he takes a closer look*

"The Birdmen is a Pre-Great War extremest group set on uniting the world under their banner. The creators of this organizations are unknown as most information pertaining them has been lost through time. The only relevant information about this mysterious group is the distinct bird mask that its members wore. The group originated in what is now the Capital of the Yeshan Empire, Chang-ning" What this group came from the Capital!! ", their original headquarters is still standing on the outskirts of the Imperial City. During the Great War, The Birdmen saw an opportunity as the First Imperial Emperor has pledged troops to fight with his allies in the distant battlefields. As the majority of the Imperial Military Might focus on the War, The Birdmen, launched their attack on the Capital. Almost being overwhelmed by the sudden attack, the Imperial Emperor himself rallied the remaining forces left in the Capital and pushed the extremest out. After the defeat and being oust from the Empire, no further information has surfaced pertaining to this group and is assumed that it has dissolved."

*As Niko finishes reading the excerpt, he turns to the next page and finds a map to the original Birdmen headquarters as well as different excerpts from the battle and official reports*

Hmm this may just be useful.

*He takes and checks out the book from the Achieves and heads back to his manor to continue reading the different reports*
*Eventually, Niko heads towards to the old headquarters to see if anything has survived through the years that can be helpful to BdrLine and the group*

Yiski:
--Somewhere near the City Center, Anvala--

*Yiski brushes of Paradox's arm.*
Tomorrow? We'd need it now. The saloon is under repair and I don't think there are any other areas that could house us, unless we'd decided to stay in the Docks for tonight.

*Yiski then snaps his head to face Zill after his comment.*
I know who our targets are, but that doesn't mean the Council isn't far off my list.

*Yiski takes a deep breath.*
Zill, come with me and we'll go ahead and get the barrels of White Steam and Wild Wind.

*The group couldn't tell, but Roland knew Yiski had to still be furious over him getting hit. Roland also knew Yiski was the type to repay a slight in kind plus interest.*

--NARRATOR--

Roland had first hand experience of how brutal Yiski could get when it came to his well-being. The first incident arose shortly after Yiski retired to take care of Roland.

Roland was only in his teens. Roland had shown up at Yiski's place all bruised and bloodied. Some of the young new Academy cadets had beaten up Roland for fun. Yiski immediately grabbed Blood Bolt and blitzed into the Academy grounds.

He had found the cadets because they were bragging about it. Yiski opened fire and intentionally maimed Roland's attackers. The aftermath resulted in Roland's attackers being permanently physically impaired.

Yiski was only given a reprimand given his service record.

Knowing Yiski was even angrier than that time, sent shivers down Roland's spine.

--NARRATOR END--

RearAdmiralZill:
*Zill and Yiski split off to grab the barrels for tomorrow. The group didnt like it, especially Jun'ko, but they had another task. Zill gave Jun'ko orders for the dockmen to prepare his Warehouse for a possible military assualt. If they were to remain safe through the night, it needed some defense.

Yiski and Zill enter the Saloon. The workers are still there fixing it up. As they grab the barrels, Zill gets something off his mind.*

Yiski, we have been through a lot. Not just recently but in general. And I swear I havent seen the blind rage youre putting off since Michael died. What is eating you alive right now?

*The group make it to the Port. Zill had ordered ground troops for added defense, and it showed. Jun'ko provided the orders for the dockmen and they began turning Zill's warehouse into a makeshift bunker. Jun'ko went over to BdrLine.*

Hey Bdr, want to help me get the radio from Zill's galleon? We may need it through the night.

Yiski:
--Saloon Back Room--

Is my undying, seething rage that easy to pick up now? Meh, civie life must be gettin' to me.

*Yiski took a deep breath.*
I promised Micheal in the event of his death, that I'd look after and take care of Roland. Micheal and I were like brothers and I consider Roland just as much my son as Micheal did. I'll be damned if I let some crazy, war-lovin' remnants of the old world nearly take him away from me.

*Yiski clenched his fist tightly enough to almost draw out blood and slammed his fist into the wall.*
If they're goin' to target him along with us...

*Yiski turned to Zill. Yiski's eyes were sharpened and his expression could frighten death itself.*
...then I will track every single one of them and end them.

*Yiski turned back around and loaded the last barrel on the hand cart.*
Enough small talk. Let's get back to the others.
