Icos was hoping he didn't have to do the convincing here, he had counted on him already being on board. Well, it was time to flash those shiny white teeth and charm. Icos was pretty good at that.
"Do you realize that 89% of crimes that occur in To Chameno are somehow linked to the Dust Collection Agency?" Icos began, glancing about the group, "Prostitution, human trade, mana trade just about anything that happens here is related to them. Now you're a pretty successful 'business man', what I'm offering is the chance to take 40% of their control away."
He slipped a map of the city out onto the table, it was labeled with specific location. "This building here, what appears to be a factory that manufactures electronic toys is actually a major hot spot for prostitution, my source claims this building serves seven hundred people a day." He directed his finger to another building, "This shipping and distribution center runs mana from Thelotia to To Chameno. They package it as candy and sell it on the streets from there." His hand moved again, "This is the nerve center, we believe. Our source claims the leader of the Fourth Dust Collection Agency operates out of here..."
Icos glanced up at Raemos and smiled, "I'm giving you the chance to become richer and far more powerful. Once they're taken out there will be a void to fill and I'm giving you first picks on whichever one you need. So long you supply the men to help take them down, of course."

A grin played on Raemos's features as he pondered the situation further. In truth, there was a lot of information not earlier given to him by the young girl sitting a few heads away from his left.
"Well now, this is starting to come together," he said roughly and he rubbed his chin, "Little Lady Flynn calls me because her family is requesting some assistance and it'll be worth it. Not only is Morgan Flynn not here like I was lead to believe but I wasn't told anything about the Dust Collection Agency in this, either. What else is the Little Lady not telling me, I wonder?"
"Missing details or not, the story is still the same. Your participation here is a benefit to us, in turn as Icos says it becomes a benefit to you, too," Tanya raised her voice slightly, feeling a semi-confident push from her as she took a deep breath and realized she had him in an irrefutable web. Him refusing would just be stupid. Surprisingly (or not), and thankfully, he laughed.
"Alright. Alright, I'm in on this. Where do we go, what do you need of my guys? I'll shoot anyone you need."

"Yes, what is the plan, Icos? I hope that it's not just us going in guns blazing." Zahkriit said as lean back in his chair, doing his best not touching anything with his hands. He looked around to see who he was working with and made a mental note of their faces.

Icos gave a breath of relief as Raemos accepted the rather generous deal that was given. "It's pretty simple, actually." Icos began, "I have over thirty locations that need to be struck within minutes of each other. Such an attempt would take a team of seven guys for each area - they aren't terribly big complex and aren't heavily guarded. The man power we'll need will be somewhere at 210 people, I have thirty of my own and I was told you could bring up to two hundred?"
The wasn't even the hardest part, most of the complex were barely guarded as Icos had said, but he also wanted to attack the main nerve center that Dust used WHILE making sure that if Tanya's friend was in one of these buildings they could find him quickly. He might be held in the main complex or stored in some other building...
...Or weighed down in the ports by a couple of giant rocks.

Raemos wouldn't say it but he surely wouldn't show it either as he grinned widely at Icos, noting it very odd how Tanya called on him clearly for the manpower he could provide in this but yet she brought only two kids with her herself. What kind of set up did Morgan have relying on one man and his own men for something so big? If it wasn't his set up, then it was Tanya's, whom of which he liked a lot better when she would hide behind Morgan instead. He wasn't sure what he thought of her now, dressed as a woman and trying to act like one when she was clearly just a girl yet--she was old enough for many things, but too young for something like this. And yet what worried him the most was how she went about it, she used her father to get Raemos here now, and she was using Raemos now to ensure a victory that surely couldn't only be for himself. She gained out of this, too somehow, and that didn't sit too well with him.
However his actions showed much differently, giving Icos a confident nod as he answered, "Yes. I have many, I have access to many. They are as merciless as you need them to be."

"Very well." Icos nodded, "Give the plans to those who you can trust. I'll take my team and strike at the nerve center of it all while your boys clip the smaller areas. Any police forces that are called will be against you, Dust has everybody but the Thelotian military on their payroll and we certainly can't expect them to help."
He slid the plans over to Raemos, "Take them and relay the areas where you want your men to go. Seven men each is the ideal number, they can strike fast enough, grab what they need and run before police arrive. Any documents your men may find is to be handed over to us at the end of the mission, information is essential to us. Are there any questions?"

Raemos took the plans and said nothing more, giving a shake of the head to Icos to show he at least understood that plan. Tanya gave a quick wave of her hand though to flag attention.
"Do you have a specific need for either my driver or engineer?" she asked, gesturing to both Troy and Callie sitting to her right. Raemos shook as he tried not to laugh, making Callie narrow her eyes but she kept her watch on Icos instead.
"My driver is hardy and quick, my engineer stealthy and thinks on his feet," Tanya continued, "if not, I'll take them as part of my own."

"I'd prefer your time alongside my own," Icos suggested, "I believe what you're after can be found as to where I'll be." Whichever it was; her friend or revenge for the death of her friend he was pretty sure she'd find it in the main center. "Their specific talents I'm sure we can put to good use."
He shrugged, "Of course if the lady saw a particular target she wished to prey upon than of course I can make do without."
He then eyed the larger man carefully as Icos wasn't entirely sure it was a good idea to trust him. "Perhaps I may suggest you take along two of my best agents," Icos began, directing his words towards the larger man, "They can help plan any strikes and they're very good on their feet."

Tanya didn't know what she had expected, though somehow she hadn't actually thought that she'd spend this operation placed among Icos and his own people. Not that she was complaining of course, especially if he felt that she'd have a good chance of finding Hoch wherever he was going, she felt it best to trust Icos's judgment on it.
"I'm fine with this. We'll be useful to your party every way we can be," she answered him with a polite nod, followed shortly after with mumbled 'yes's from both Callie and Troy. Raemos on the other hand gave Icos an almost skeptical look as he made his suggestion, a little confused at how they clearly needed him here for all the manpower he could provide and yet he was offered two to his own despite how many he already had who could plan and think on their feet themselves. It came off as a bit of a slight to the large man, perhaps the girls needed their hands held like this man was doing for them but he certainly didn't.
"Do I look like I'm new to this, friend?" Raemos spoke quietly, his grin unsettling, "if you really think they're better to tag along while I blow these bases of yours to smithereens, then by all means allow them that privilege. I don't need them, though."

"I do believe they'll be of use." Icos responded, it was pretty clear Icos wanted some IIA agents watching Raemos's every move. He didn't wish to treat the larger man as being below him (but, of course he was) yet he needed to make sure things go down smoothly, "If you don't need them for planning than they'll merely act as a connection between our two groups, relaying vital information back between us. It's for the sake of our operation and how timely we must be."
He gave a small smile towards Tanya, "Show some more energy, people! By the end of the day Dust Collection Agency will be crying in a corner, Raemos here will be a King of To Chameno and you'll have closure on your issues, m'lady. We all come out of here as victors." He directed his view over to Raemos, "Is there any questions you have before we set off?"

Raemos offered no other comments or concerns, he simply nodded and with a skeptical stare on the Ellusian man yet he sat leaned back in his seat.
Tanya tried very hard to give Icos the 'energy' he was looking for, anything from a smile or laugh, even the words that they were about to do this and send the Dust Collection Agency packing--really her father would be delighted to hear that should this go well it really sounded like they were about to punch them back at least as hard as Dust struck their gang. It wouldn't excite Tanya too much yet though, she couldn't bring such satisfying thoughts to the surface yet. She saw the pictures Icos had, her friend was dead, and she didn't feel she would truly have at least some peace until she could find him.
Troy decided to be the morale booster instead, raising an unlit mini firecracker from his pocket up in the air and he gave a silly grin.
"I'd set this off but that'd be bad. We'll make this a memorable day for Dust!" He said.

"Than if the planning is all finished, I vote on getting this operation started." Natalia broke her silence, placing a hand on Icos's shoulder to catch his attention. "It'll take us an hour to get everyone in place. We should strike at ten past 4 AM." That was about an hour away, this meeting (plus the time they had waited for everyone to arrive) had pressed on into the early hours of the morning.But this was honestly the perfect time to strike, even the most attentive guards were tired at this point and most people didn't revolve guard duty until about 5 AM - so they'll catch them when they're the most tired.
Natalia's eyes traced across the entire group until falling upon Troy, which she gave a light smile, "They'll be plenty of lights dancing across To Chameno when we're finished with Dust."

Zahkriit looked at his watch and noted the time. "Well I agree with Natalia. If we agree with the plan, let's get going shall we?" He looked at the room, and stood up. A bit quick, as he grabbed his large case. He wasn't all thrilled working with Raemos' men, but an enemy of an enemy is your friend, so he was going to make the best of it.

"Excellent! I will review the plan with only my leading men and we will be set to strike straight on the right moment," Raemos announced loudly as he rose himself from the chair with his two guards. He gave Icos a smug grin and shook the plans at him.
"Raemos Reheem will be a powerful name with a kingdom of his own, this you promise me tonight, friend. I take this very seriously. Your little boys on my heels better be as well trained as my men are, I don't like when amateurs get in my way," as he said it it was noticed he gave a half glance over to Tanya, whether he meant something a little extra in her direction by what he said or not was uncertain but he was quick to flash a toothy smile and nod to both her and the agents in the room. With the snap of his fingers he lead the few men that had accompanied him inside out the door.
"Come! We have work to do and this Dust to sweep away into the wind!" he laughed and made his exit. If the group had any doubts about him (and they all certainly seemed to), they at least could be reassured that Raemos would follow the plan to eliminate the targets. At least that.

Icos didn't enjoy the idea that this man was going to be given a great deal of control over To Chameno, in fact it was rather disgusting, but the facts were pretty simple - with Dust in retreat somebody else would take over so at the very least Icos knew exactly who it was. Easier to wipe out when it comes time, at least.
"King Reheem of To Chameno, I can assure you that those who serve with me are the best warriors you've ever laid eyes on." He said with a slight nod, glancing over at his allies and giving a smile. The IIA was absolutely filled with soldiers from the Imperial Marines, Army and even the dreaded Special Forces. Very little agents had ever not received combat training and if they hadn't they were confined to a desk, not out on the field like these boys were.
With his exit Icos turned towards Tanya and smirked. "Rather colorful friend you have. I think he'll do nicely, don't you all agree?"
