The Map was a complex layout of the entire city of Aluba, even pointing out how the city itself was was over 3 kilometers in radius, winding and dense streets stretching across the large surface of the city like a spider web. Buildings big and small, complexes that took up half a block. But as the city gets closers into the middle a courtyard of such spans hundreds of meters.
"I'm sure you're all waiting to get some rest for the big. But we're lucky that you showed up when you did. The Commanders have been in a flux ever since the new orders came in from how the Invasion will occur tomorrow."
"Makes sense that The King was so Jumpy to get us going..." Jeanne said pulling down her hood, but leaving her arms covered due to the stark temperature of the inside building. "Exactly." Spoke Aton, laying his hand on the map.
"Now. To begin. This is the Entirety of Aluba. The Capital City." Leroy retorted quickly "Yeah I kinda figured." He gave a cocky smile. "Right..." Said Aton as he continued.
"The Main Plan of Attack is for The Revolting Force of Arabasta to invade into the Capital Here." He Tapped at the northwest section of the Map. "Here." Southeast "Here" Southwest "And Here." Northeast
"The Entire army will begin making their way Later tonight. At roughly 12am. They will then Traverse through the Desert for 8 hours, after which they'll have arrived at Aluba. And begin the invasion. And not an hour later, you all will make your way there. Assisted by Arabasta's very own breed of Super Sonic Birds. Allowing you all to serve as a quick secondary wave to the Revolting Force."
'Bird?' Leroy and the Rest of the Crew thought as Aton continued "There are 2 points of interest in the city currently. The Mining Operation, and The Shipping operation. Both of which will need to be handled and taken care of by one of you, assisting the rest of the Forces as well. They can't do it alone. It should probably be strongest among you..."
"Sounds Like Kale and Noir!" Leroy said Proudly. the Captain looked to either of said crewmates as the Revolting Leader Continued "Right. In that case, the two of you will need to take down each of those locations."
"The Shipping Docks are Here..." He taps to the furthest east point on the map "The Capital Straddles the Edge of the Island a kilometer or two away from the Capital Proper. This is Where Hornigold has been getting in all of his Shipments from. And by taking it out, it means the 24 Karat Fleet will have no where to run."
"The Mining Operation is here." He said tapping at the Northwest Section. "Our Reports from those that have been able to escape say that the entire section of town has been turned into one big Mine that goes deep below Ground. Yesterday, a refugee made it to Serket that said that they'd uncovered something in the Tomb of The Kings not even three days ago. That mausoleum is sacred to us. But I never knew that it Held any secrets..." Aton says somberly
"The Mining Operation though, as I was saying, Extends deep below the Capital. Actively Mining and Processing the Gold is said to be beneath Aluba. The Smoke Stacks of Which have pumped fumes into the air that's blocked out the sunlight for quite some time...The Entire thing Draws power from the Morray Array here." He says pointing some distance from where the mines were "We'll need someone who's light and quick on their feet to do it..."

mmediatley, Jeanne Pipped up "I'll do it. I'll stick a distance away, Take it out from afar. Anything I can see won't be able to hit me." She says confidently. This caused both Aton and Leroy to smile at the sniper's Confidence "Perfect."
"And Finally, there's the Fighting in general that'll need to happen. Hornigold Rackham has his Chyros Top Agents Spread all throughout the City. It's important that you are the ones to take care of them. They are far too strong for our fighters..."
Leroy Piped in one more Time. "Then I guess that's Where Kiki, Dezzi, and Kirk come in huh?"
"I know I'm going to be fighting hand in hand with those in the courtyard. They need to be able to see their princess having the strength to back up her words." Kiki spoke confidently. Clearly, there were many wounds left unseen from the coup that kicked her father from the throne
“I’ll take the Shipping Docks.” Noir said instantly, raising his hand and looking up to Aton. It was his worst nightmare to be underground, like hell he was just gonna let himself be anywhere near that, even if he didn’t have to go underground! The entrance to any cave would have him feeling nauseous, it was too close and packed for him. Noir just hoped Kalé could handle finding his way throughout the place, knowing he may get lost…. But hey! The swordsman would keep his cool under there unlike the chef. Kirk, being the priss he was, wasn’t too excited about the whole fighting part… but he would manage to help protect this country. “I’m sure we could mop the floor with those goons, it can’t be too bad.”
"I guess that leaves me with the shipping docks." Kále almost immediately forgot what Noir had chosen to handle, he just guessed which of the two locations he chose, and he certainly guessed wrong. Kále, unlike Noir, was not afraid of caves or the dark so he'd be fine handling the Mining Operation, when someone reminds him that he's handling the Mining Operation and not the shipping docks
With Kále's forgetfulness, The Navigator swiftly reminded him that he was the one going for the Mining Operation, With Noir Piping up "Like Hell I'd ever let myself go into some dank cave!!" Which caused Kále and Noir to begin the cycle of their bickering once more. But as that happened Leroy stayed focused on the task at hand, smacking his fist into his palm before saying with confidence abound "And Leave Hornigold up to me! I'll Handle him!"
This Caused a worried and Shocked expression to come over Aton's face. 'Is he crazy?!' "Are- Are you Nuts?! We'll be lucky if you're comrades even take down one Commander I-" Aton was cut off curtly by Leroy. Who had a serious look on his face "Don't underestimate us. We'll handle it. And I'll make sure to beat Hornigold's ass to a pulp!"
This didn't put Aton at ease at all. But he knew he wasn't going to be able to waiver the wall of arrogance in front of him...He gulped nervously "Well. To Finalize Everything." He pulled a marker from his satchel and marked the locations on the map. Pointing to each person they corresponded to. Capping the Marker he spoke "Alright. Be ready in the Morning. A little after Dawn. If any of you need anything, Let me know."
