Evenin', all of you.
I'll get straight to business, assuming that you've informed Lisa of the situation already, James.
Admittedly, it does not look good. Our chances revolve around the possibility of Gallic ignorance and possible corruption, and that's not very likely to play out in our favor. But before we decide on any plan of action, we'll need to gather information. About where Sakuma Hitomi is being held, and under what conditions. I spent most of last night and too many cups of coffee thinking about it, and I think I might at least have a basic outline. All of you are military or ex-military, so you'll probably be able to fill in the finer details better than I can.
As I see it, our first task would be to contact any sources any of us have within Gallia, and get to gathering information. There's only two outcomes we have to account for. If she's held in a relatively minimum security place, then we can attempt a peaceful extraction. However, if she's under heavy guard...How good are our chances at any sort of armed rescue? I don't think that's a recommended course of action...like, at all. But again, I'll defer to your judgement on this one.
My role in it would be to go in quietly. Among our lot, I'm probably the only one who can even remotely pass for a Gallic Citizen. An uncultured hooligan of one, but it'll work as long as nobody's looking too closely. And once I'm in, I can at least start laying some groundwork for...whatever we have to do next.
Additionally, I'm not sure if all of you are even convinced that this fool's gambit is worth it. Frankly, I'm pretty terrified at the concept myself. But I'd dearly like to help her. Not just for your sake, Exiles. She's a friend.
Call back as soon as you're able to.
