[She's more or less built herself a tiny battle layout on her floor, peering down at it. The incoming soldiers are random pieces of material.]

Forgive me this authority, but I've a plan, should you wish to follow it. [she clears her throat.] I'm schooled in war, even if I cannot fight.

I told this to my lord Yukio, and I think it's our best chance. In this case straight out battle is useless to us, we don't have the numbers to break them. What we do have is our reputation to think of. And what they want. Which is simple, they're only human, men who want to go home to their families, to their women and children, to warm beds, and they already think we're monsters, else they would think this -- [a rather short gesture out the window, and there's a sneer in her words] -- was necessary.

So use it against them, make them believe we really are inhuman. The fog's with us. Already they are out of their element they cannot see us properly, as well it muffles our movements. And scared because of how unsettling this place, but we know the lay of the land and can trap them. Those of you with above human abilities, go in first, do not put yourself directly in their line of fire by any means, you're useless if you get killed. But do things to divide them, separate them and make sure it's huge, flashy. At the very best they will run, because they do not want to be here. They will run all the way back to their city.

If not, if they really mean to stay here and kill, at the very least they will become skittish. Enough of it should in time give them want to divide, which case those of you who are not so showy... I'd suggest you pick them off one by one. I know it's not honourable, but we really don't have time for those sort of things.

... [she's just cold.] Lastly, show mercy if you wish too, at the very least we can use hostages to negotiate a peace. So perhaps takes prisoners if you can without personal risk. But remember this, they don't want to show you mercy at all, they want to drive us from this place. Damned it might be, but this is our city, it is our home, and if any of you die, for any stupid heroics when you could be doing something far more useful, I will never forgive you, do you understand?

I think that is everything I can think of. Any further questions, see my lord Yukio or myself.

[SENT LATER]

I'll be on the roof, with my lord Yukio. Please relay to me any position or if you need any assistance, I'll be keeping a eye on all. [~~because you're her people~~.]

All right. [ A pause. ] Not exactly. [ She's a little unsure; these were people, not Akuma. To be technical, she has never killed a living human before. ]

I can fly, at whatever height and speed I want. [ Her only worry is being overwhelmed by numbers. ]

... How easily can you avoid their bullets?

[you can almost see the gears turning in her mind really, the way she frowns and looks down.]

Quite easily for the most part.

Alright then. I'm going to need another set of eyes and ears. I cannot see everywhere.

And there is nothing like a good distraction, if you see anyone in trouble.

[ She nods. ] I can do that. [ She will make herself hard to catch. ] Where should I go first?

To the bridges, monitor anything that is coming over, and if you can fault their progress, do so. But don't put yourself into too much danger...

[that was the best she could think of for now.]

Understood. [ She believes she can handle that. ] Take care of yourself.

You are the one in the line of fire. God speed.
