Quote from Aquila"Traveling on foot would be the safest option, but if we do have the military offering help, it would be best to outfit ourselves accordingly." Isaiah had been thinking about how most of the enemies were to be close ranged and that gave him a severe disadvantage thanks to the loading time on his crossbow. "A communication set for all of us to communicate without having to go above a whisper, basic body armor, and weaponry." The boy mulled over the mission. "If we are going by foot we would need to travel in an according fashion. We can have Kalte leading the group, followed by Naomi, Ina, Sidnee, Francene, Theo, and Annabeth. Angel or the drone can be our eyes in the sky and I'll move around the best I can to scout on the ground. We could just fly a helicopter around the perimeter to begin the espionage, have everyone looking up while we sneak in." He looked over at Ina and Naomi, "Though it would be more helpful if we knew what your powers were." He shot Naomi a smile, "After all, you did promise, and for even the general to sing your praises, I'm more than curious now."
Before Isalah started speaking, Naomi was already blushing a little bit. "Ah... Yes, I did promise that." She murmured once he had finished. She wished she had been able to describe her abilities back in the classroom. Now, being delayed twice and surrounded by curious faces, even she was feeling self conscious. "I actually have two powers... the first is a simple teleportation ability, which lets me instantly disappear and reappear somewhere, as long as it's not too far away. It pairs with my swordfighting nicely. The second ability, though," Naomi hesitated, knowing how many implications this knowledge was about to plant into her students' minds. "My second ability is to see just ten seconds into the future.
"If you say something to me, I'll know what it is ten seconds before you actually speak it. I'll know how you're going to react to what I say, even before I say it. I can make decisions based on this prior knowledge that I have, and when I decide to act differently, the future changes." At this, the girl's expression turned apologetic. "I know that this will make you feel apprehensive about speaking to me. I know how it makes my friends question if they have free will in conversations with me. They no longer know if everything they decide to say was only because I manipulated them into saying it." Saying this made Naomi terribly uncomfortable, but she knew that she would be unworthy as a leader if she said anything but the brutal truth. "All I can say is that I promise I won't abuse my powers when we speak together. Not only that, but..." Allowing herself to smile, Naomi rested her hand on the pommel of her blade.
"With the power to see and change the future, I am almost untouchable in combat. It's one of the reasons I was chosen to lead this group, and I promise that I'll protect you all to the best of my abilities."
