After about an hour, all of the commanders had finally arrived, some arriving so late due to the fact they were off site on a mission when the alert was issued. In that time, he was made known of what the alert was about exactly. A large enough population had been infected with a specific breed of parasite and, from there, it snowballed until there were enough hosts to fill a small nation, and due to the placement of this parasitic nation, it fell into the Kingdom's jurisdiction. Perhaps fortunately, it was on the other side of the Kingdom's control from Nick. However, on the other hand, that meant he would probably be the one most stretched for supplies. As they waited on the other to arrive, Nick withdrew into himself to think on how exactly to prepare for this situation. And, after being told where the missing commanders were, had his uniform brought down for him to quickly change in to out of view of the projection.<br/><br/>It was another three hours in to the meeting that he was told that the elevator was overridden so that Ava could return to the apartment. Pushing the idea of giving her permanent access to the back of his mind, he sent an email to the apartment for her to get in full uniform and come meet him in Communications. She would eventually be given such tasks, so it was best that she start being present for them whenever they occurred. It was simply more important that the recruits go through their Orientation and get set on the proper track for their training.<br/><br/>By the time Ava would finally arrive, the planning was in full swing, with the first battalion taking point due to their proximity to the nation. Nick was simply leaned back in his chair, pensive as he thought and listened as the fourth battalion, still weakened from their run in with Baskerville, offered themselves up in auxiliary and support functions. Nick was still formulating his own turn to speak, simply staying quiet for the most part, save for when votes and actual points of discussion was needed. When Ava entered, he looked past the projection to the door and subtly gestured for her to take a spot standing close behind his chair and to the right. His hand went up to casually hide his mouth as she approached, tapping the key to mute himself. Without much animation, Nick began to speak, as to show respect and not draw attention away from those who had the floor. "A parasitic nation has formed. Toxaplasma Pavor," he said simply. "With how close it is to the first battalion, the Kingdom's taken responsibility in crushing it. I don't want you speaking unless spoken to. Just... listen and take note, alright? I'll fill you in on the rest later."<br/><br/>Nick shifted to both remove his hand and to unmute himself, staring back into the projection of the meeting. Everyone was playing to their strengths. The Fifth battalion, notorious for their Raptor divisions, claimed the role of air superiority. The twin battalions of Seventh and Eighth were agreed to share perimeter duty. Tenth, with their hyperfocus on intelligence, naturally took command of any and all intel gathering while in the field. The Eleventh had just rolled out a new line of heavy armors and mechs and thus filled the role of the heavy regiment. The Sixth, Ninth, and Twelfth were deep within operations and could not pull out to assist in a primary fashion. Finally, the floor was given to Nick, causing the commander to lean forward. "You all know that both myself and my predesscor believe the old saying 'A jack of all trades, master of none is better than a master of one.' So I shall delegate my troops where they are needed. Granted, many will find their places among the front lines or providing support to some of you, but I have a new division in the works that I think could be helpful, if Commander Rikkus wishes to take the chance," Nick said, gesturing to the first battalion commander. "To be clear, this is a completely prototype division. The soldiers I have in this division have never been put to the test in the field on a large scale just yet. Despite this, I feel that they will be a key component to this campaign."<br/><br/>"Explain, Courvoisier," said the Kingdom commander from his place at the end of the table.<br/><br/>Nick stood from his chair, gesturing Ava forward. "This is Conscript Ava Worthington," Nick said. "Upon conscription, my lead cybernetic scientist ran a scan on the nanites in her system and believed he could bolster their capabilities and apply them in the field. Naturally, the Lieutenant was able to do just that. Any soldier implanted with his copy of the nanites can heal from gunshot wounds in hours, days at most. Serious injuries are cut down from months to weeks. Even things as small as muscle fatigue can be undone within half an hour.  Any change to the body's makeup based on roughly a day after the nanites are implanted is reversed. Worthington herself served as the first patient for this new overhaul and can attest to the rapid healing capabilities." Nick paused for a moment, letting the commanders get a grasp of all of that as well as allowing Ava to confirm his claims. Now came the hard part.<br/><br/>"But, as I said, this division is in it's infancy. As mentioned in my Alder Rush report, there was a mishap caused by the nanites within Conscript Worthington. Said malfunction has been rectified," Nick said with utmost confidence. "And through that malfunction, I chose the correct path to implement these nanites safely to ensure another malfunction did not happen as well as to have my head of cybernetics tweak the software to minimize the... modification to the soldiers' personalities. The numbers I currently have within this division is low, about thirty or so soldiers. All of them have passed every test that I have been able to have run, except for parasitic invasion. The theory I have is that, since the nanites reject and repair changes to the body, the parasite will be fought on the inside."<br/><br/>"It is a gamble, but one I am willing to take," Nick said. "We can send these soldiers into spawning grounds and nests to ensure minimal casualties via invasion. If this idea is approved, I can have them on a plane to you first thing in the morning, Rikkus, for you to evaluate and to serve as a buffer until everyone else can properly mobilize. If any of you wish to trust these nanites prior to field testing, I can have the schematics and file sent to you within an hour of this council ending." Nick straightened up and folded his arms behind his back, waiting for the verdict from the rest of the commanders as well as the Kingdom Commander.
