[attr="class","skullbody"]Everything inside of Isaac wanted to raise a fuss when Walsh gave his plan. Don't have alternatives, and do sabotage the current plan? What the fuck? That sounded like the opposite of a plan! Then he remembered that he was but a mere underling, and Walsh was the current, acting head of Rocket. Standing against orders had gotten him in enough trouble in past after the whole lighthouse incident. Was he really going to repeat that while standing on the grandest stage of them all? With all of Rocket watching?[break][break] Then Zev Harcourt stepped forward. He, too, was a cog in the machine. One of more worth than Isaac, but still not leadership. That was okay. He didn't need to be. A blade in the dark was better kept concealed. But he didn't need to be concealed here. This was a Rocket meeting. No pleasantries, no disguises, only a blade unsheathed and ready to be shoved into the League's back. He was no stranger to bloodshed, and would surely relish in the opportunity.[break][break] Yet even he stayed his hand, telling Walsh to his face that didn't add up.[break][break] A quiet hung over the meeting. Then another took the stage. Cillian Quinn, too? He was an underboss. He was one of the most feared underbosses in Rocket. The amount of pain and cruelty he enacted on those who stood against the interests of Rocket was legendary. Isaac saw him delete a man's soul, for crying out loud! Surely, if anyone would stand for Rocket's actions, right or wrong, it would have been him. He was more layered, more complicated than many new, but he had his reputation for good reason.[break][break] And he, too, came with questions. After all, this was for the glory of Rocket, not one man's ambitions.[break][break] These were two men that Isaac feared greatly. These were two men that Isaac, against all odds, found himself trusting. And where they dared to tread, Isaac dared to follow. "Yeah, Gavin's right. What would we get out of Littleroot?" Isaac asked. "I get if a big city's too risky to take. But what about a place like Fallabor? We'd still get a footprint on the mainland, but it'd have farmland, scientific value, and an easier position to fortify."[break][break] Besides, the idea of taking over the most peaceful town in Hoenn sat poorly in Isaac's stomach. But that'd get him laughed at, while a utilitarian argument might actually have some merit to it. Biting his tongue about all the votes being sent to ana fell's home base of Petalburg was hard enough. He couldn't come off like a total bleeding heart![break][break] That wasn't even getting into the primal point plan. Striking while the iron was hot was one thing. Stealing the iron and having a big laugh about it was another. "If they have a backup point, can't we steal that?" Isaac asked. "I was told the Rangers would be mobilizing around 'the rocks.' If those are these Primal Points, we might have more than just League military showing up to defend them. Sure, they spent the meeting where they decided that slinging pies and insults at each other, but they're still a threat. Sending a small team of specialists to heist the reserve would get us what we want without sabotaging the League's efforts, right? And we'd be able to pull it off without spreading the main invasion force thin to boot."[break][break] For one normally so squiggly around the more violent part of missions, there was ambition in Isaac's words. Maybe he was coasting on boosts to his reputation. Maybe he was truly taking Zev's lessons to heart. But at the very least, it seemed he was trying to firm his soft heart beneath a layer of strategy.[break][break] A good thing, too. The Butterfree in it were making him feel nauseous.[break][break] TEAL DEER:[break] Zev and Gavin speaking up emboldens Isaac to follow suit.[break] Isaac agrees with Gavin that a city may be a better target than Littleroot.[break] Isaac wonders about heisting the reserve Primal Point instead of charging into a siege.[break] Isaac also hints at the Rangers' clowning around and infighting.
