This is Major-General Olivier Armstrong. If you can ignore the bevy of Imports wasting our time with their age-changing frivolity, I have an announcement to make.

It's no secret that whatever their other feelings towards us, the natives of this world recognize that we Imports pose a threat to them. For how could we not? We have powers they can scarcely conceive of, let alone match. Even a single Import could outclass a regiment or more of this nation's army.

Therefore, I am hereby announcing the formation of RISE: the Rogue Import Suppression Enforcers. We Imports shall police and judge our own, apprehending those among us who would prey on the most vulnerable of this nation's native population and passing sentence as necessary.

Those among you who wish to lend your aid to the RISE mission are welcome. I await your questions.

I've got a while.

If they want to come, they need to get vetted. This isn't some haphazard vigilante group.

[dormition]

Well... okay. [Pause.] Physical skills: slash, strike and pierce. Attack magic: fire, ice, wind, light, darkness, almighty. Support magic: healing, defense and speed enhancement for party members, status afflictions... [He's an RPG protagonist, this list gets a little ridiculous.] I don't have many practical applications outside of combat, though.

You can vet them if you want. Ken Amada, Akihiko Sanada, Shinjiro Aragaki, and Hiro Hamada. [The members of SEES are far from a secret. Even if SEES is essentially a haphazard vigilante group, Minato just doesn't take offense.]

[darwinatrix]

Slash, strike and pierce- With what, a sword? That's a little old-fashioned for a kid in this day and age, isn't it?

[dormition]

I'm most familiar with a sword, yes. But I don't mind using anything. Guns are highly illegal in Japan, so it wasn't very prudent for me to learn them.

[darwinatrix]

Hm. Any formal training?

[dormition]

I've been training with a few people since I got here in hand to hand, so I'll be better able to contribute when our powers are nulled.

[darwinatrix]

Good. I'll want you up to speed on firearms as well. They're not illegal here.

[dormition]

[Minato's nonplussed for a second, merely because it's something he'd never thought of doing, learning how to use a gun for real instead of just his Evoker. There's no reason why not, though. It's certainly a good idea safety wise, in case he ever has to handle one.]

Is there anyone you'd suggest I learn from?

[darwinatrix]

Look up a man named Shepard. He's a good soldier. Good with a gun.

[dormition]

I'll do that, thank you. Do you need anything else from me? ... Should I call you Major-General or just General?
