Attention, Region Six. A draft is scheduled to commence on August 25th for five days following. Your location will be the West Central Ocean, en route to Kano Harbour via three ships. Choose a suitable captain for each, and the pilots will be programmed to follow your orders. Don't waste my time with incompetence, either. Put in charge only those who deserve it.

These are the residents who have been selected to participate.

[As usual, the list posted HERE is offered in text form, sans the mun names.]

Your mission is to protect the cargo ship above all else. Within three days you will reach your destination. Opposition numbers, rank, and skill are impossible to predict, however, their equipment often prevents them from attacking at night. Remain on guard, but take advantage of the respite you may receive by night. Upon reaching the harbour, the cargo will be unloaded. You are to continue protecting it until it is safely out of range of their attacks. I would advise against swimming unless you want to die.

For those of you who were involved in the last draft, I have only one thing to say: your performance was acceptable.

Over and out.

[Once again, the commandant will not reply to anything but draft-related questions or particularly inspiring comments, so if you're looking for a response, be sure to give her something worth answering!]

Aye, Riku-lad! Are you ready to forge ahead on the open sea?

[Something should tell you he's excited about the prospect of a REAL ocean with some real boats, Riku.]

Sure looks like it.

[He's really not sure what to expect, though.]

No worries, lad; sounds like a simple enough mission. I've run plenty of cargo with absolutely no warships guarding me; this is much more better than that.

Yeah, but did you ever have to deal with flying soldiers before?

On the last three drafts? Aye. I've dealt with them, son.

[Well, he meant on a cargo mission, but Jack's got a point.]

Guess you'll be in your comfort zone out at sea.

There is truly no more comfortable place than that, son. Are you going to battle as well?

[Jack thinks Riku can handle himself; he wouldn't shy away from inviting him aboard his ship.]
