By the time Winter and Mercedes came to check on her Elise had already finished drafting the prototype for the anti-polonium patches for them to manufacture. "Make these quickly, I suspect the end of the war will be very soon now." Elise said, returning to her holo to run more simulations. Julian nodded, giving one last check of her vitals before rushing off to begin making enough patches to allow the Vassals to fight toe to toe with the Chrysanthemum's army. "Now where would be the best place to lure the monster?" She frowned, bringing up a schematic of the city, zooming the picture in on the President's third of the city blocked off by the electric fence by the north end. "If we want the monster to distract the army, we should guide it somewhere around Main Street at the Skylight Prime Bank and..." According to her calculations it would take the factory workers five hours to finish the required amount of patches.
"Elise!" Mercedes clapped her hands in front of her face, pulling Elise out of her thoughts. The black eagle blinked a few times, looking side by side at Winter. "Winter was asking you questions, but you were so deep in your head you didn't hear us!" Elise smiled apologetically, putting her holo aside for the time being. "Hello. I am doing okay, stronger than before, but not at my best yet." Ideally she would get some rest before the final operation but for now she still had to finish making her plans. "Doctor Julian updated me on current matters, and I am drafting a plan for the final mission." Mercedes gave her almost a pitying look and shook her head. "You just woke up and you're already trying to take over Winter's job! Winter was our strategist while you were out, and now you're replacing her!"
So Winter was Oliver's main advisor? She nodded in acknowledgement, settling her ruby eyes on Winter's own orbs. "Good work, I am not surprised to see our base still in one piece with you in charge." Winter had a good head on her shoulders, and she was one of the two people Ezra would listen to without kicking up a fight. "You just got up. Are you sure you're able to make plans this fast?" Mercy's face shifted in worry, looking at her. "While I cannot walk anymore, I am feeling okay. I must do my part to help us put an end to this fighting." She was weary - it was far too long since this city has seen peace and quiet. If it meant working a little harder, she was happy to do so.
A voice came out on Winter's holo then, it was Carter speaking. "Winter, the monster's really big! Ezra says it's even bigger than what our radars are warning us about!" Elise moved her holo, connecting herself to the call. "How long do we have until it arrives?" She asked, swift as a knife. "Elise, you're back? Welcome back!" Ezra's voice chipped in, sounding a bit farther away. She could almost hear a smile on his face. "Thank you. How long until the monster reaches us?" There was a moment of silence and then, "Twenty hours. Whatever plan you have, we don't have much time!"
If Elise's hypothesis was correct, then there was only one thing to do. "I have a plan, so we can enact it once the anti-polonium patches are complete." She grimaced, trying not to look worn out. [color=#0C94CC]"So in five hours, us seven vassals will travel underground to bait the monster to attack the Military Hall where the Chrysanthemum's army is-" Mercedes grabbed her shoulder then and smiled. "If we have twenty hours, then you need to rest for at least eight hours before we go. You need to be at your best, isn't that right, Winter?" Mercedes winked at Winter, no doubt to get her to agree.
