"Still I honestly appreciate what little information we do have, since I do need that information to make informed decisions." Naturally, though, Hyarmenion didn't doubt for a moment that she was going to be the one making the ultimate decision. That was something that he had actually trusted Sorin to do in the end regardless.<br/><br/>Nevertheless, he was soon thinking about the numbers that she was feeding him. "That might be fragile, but keep in mind that Galleon class vessels have extra cargo space." That meant, of course, that they would have been able to store additional ammunition for the artillery pieces, which would have made it easier for him to plan to do a great deal of damage to the forces along the shorelines.<br/><br/>Once she had given him control of the Tharsis task force, he bowed his head and nodded. He was going to take this assignment as seriously as possible, of course, and he had already developed some ideas about how to take care of business when it came down to it. Nevertheless, it was a big undertaking.<br/><br/>That was true even for him, even though he usually had developed what he considered were strong defensive schemes.<br/><br/>This time, though, he was going to have to go on a massive offense.<br/><br/>"I promise not to let you down as far as Tharsis is concerned. Moreover, I do not believe I have any request to make beyond being given the right to fight alongside my men."<br/><br/>Sorin had known him long enough to be sure that he never did anything as a snap decision. Therefore, his wish to fight alongside everyone else fit into his personality as perfectly as everything else.<br/><br/>"I suppose with that, then, we are ready to go."<br/><br/>The numbers game that they had been playing didn't necessarily inspire much confidence. Nevertheless, he planned to make due with what they ultimately had at their disposal.
