Jo looked at Shinobu and said sternly.<span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="color: #BF8F00">"Collateral should be your concern, there's not always time for a citizen to get out of the way in a fight. Besides, our job, first and foremost, is to protect people, not to just kill nocturnes for trophies and to prove that we can. The sooner you understand that, the better. Disconnection is fine, it can allow you to do your job better and keep your mind on task despite the horrors you see, just don't forget what your true purpose here is."</span></span></span>Jo has been through a lot in his life, and it no longer phases him. But he has become more concerned with saving lives because of it. He didn't want to have to add anymore deaths to his conscience than he has to.<br/><br/>Jo was surprised Yumi only gave Shinobu a pistol, Jo would normally just follow orders without saying anything. As a commander may know something you don't. He knew a commander who had liked to give his men bare minimum supplies to see how well they could in a worst case scenario. This might be what Yumi was attempting to do, that would explain why she only allowed the gear in this SUV. Jo thought that was kind of reckless though, doing it on a high priority mission such as this one. Of course the commanders who did this didn't usually care if the soldiers died or not. A harsh way of leading, but it weeded out the good from the bad soldiers, just like Spartans. Jo was going to make it his job to make sure everyone, even Shinobu, came back from this mission alive. He went to the trunk of the car and rooted through the gear, he grabbed a small sub-machine gun, for suppressive fire. A pistol in case things got to closer ranges. Some flash bangs and tear gas for crowd control. And a powerful long ranged semi-automatic rifle, which is the weapon he would be using for the majority of situations.<br/><br/>Shinobu mentioned being able to be trusted with guns, Jo then thought to himself,<span style="font-style: italic">is that what this was all about?</span><span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="color: #BF8F00">"If collateral is your concern, you could give her a somewhat slow firing semi-automatic rifle. That wouldn't allow a large amount of flying bullets, and if you don’t think that is enough you could give her limited ammo as well, that way she would have to make every shot count."</span></span></span><br/><br/>-------<br/><br/>Between ordering around his men, Degnar nodded at Rosalie and said.<span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="color: #4000FF">“Thank you, now if you’ll excuse me, I have a certain person I have to find.”</span></span></span>Aiden was still looking concerned but he didn't protest. Kiyoko began smiling her innocent smile again.<span style="color: #FF0000"><span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-weight: bold">“My father can be overprotective sometimes, but I know he just wants to make sure I am safe.”</span></span></span>She said cheerfully to Rosalie, and then turned to Taru.<span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-weight: bold"> <span style="color: #FF0000">“Where are my manners? My name is Kiyoko, will you be accompanying us tonight, Taru?”</span></span></span>
