I. A Message [audio]
[ Ever since that brief meeting within the courtyard, several questions plagued Cao Cao's mind. He had hoped to find the information on his own with the Initiative's help, but they weren't very...helpful in his opinion. Besides the whole notion of them using sorcery to unravel the United Earth's influences through a series of smaller skirmishes, Cao Cao wasn't certain as of how this war could possibly be won. From what little he's managed to understand, the enemy outnumbers them greatly and there's great dissent amongst the transports here.
Still trying to understand his role in all this, the King of Wei decided to act. He never used such a device before. These "tablets" as they call them were nearly two-thousand years ahead of his time. Though with some luck and minor concentration, he managed to operate one. He was still far from proficient with this odd device, but at least he got it work.
Now staring into the blank screen of the tablet, Cao Cao speaks. ]
Just how many generals sit amongst us? How many soldiers and how many strategists? If this is a war, then shouldn't we treat it as such?
[ He paused momentarily in hopes of hearing an answer, but nothing was said. So he continued. ]
I've won wars before but nothing resembling this kind of scale. Gathering the information necessary about my foes was never so daunting as this. Virtually nothing is known about the United Earth or their method of combat. I'm aware that they hold the most influence in this realm, but how so?
[ Mengde wondered if their were other factions out there who hoped to rebel against their federation. He wouldn't be surprised if there were, but they assist them? Surely this war doesn't fall upon the shoulders of a wayward few.
That would be suicide. ]
In truth, I see no victory in sight but I refuse to die a martyr's death.

Scouting, at least. See what intel I can gather without alerting the UE that I'm nosing around.

[ A very dangerous but bold plan. ]
Shall you require assistance? I know one other who's interested in such work.
no subject
Probably - I've been working on getting a team together for this sort of thing, but nothing's set in stone yet.

[ Cao Cao suddenly asked after realizing he forgotten this man's name from their earlier encounter outside of the Hold. It was a brief one at best, but Mengde wasn't certain if names were exchanged or not. ]
I am Cao Cao style Mengde, King of Wei, Prime Minister of the Han. I'm in need of good men who are well learned in battle. Judging by the tide of this war, I fear we might sooner lose to the United Earth than ever taste a single victory.
