A/N: I finally started this! But I might not update it that often. Either way, please enjoy.
It was a sunny day when they arrived.
Massive airships of wood and steel touched down upon their landing platforms, whether they be harbors or areas cleared for aircraft landings.
High above, the miraculous sun shined brightly, as the clouds floated by unperturbed.
The deep valleys of the lands further in had been covered by the massive mountains, each being of great significance to the people with thousands of years of history behind them.
It was here that a very curious man stepped off of his transport vessel, and entered the land of Doma for the first time in his life...
"Bravo Company, you've been assigned to patrol detail around the perimeter of the capital, Kotori, our current location. Charlie Company, you've been assigned to..."
In the back of the briefing room, an old elezen male checked up on his weapons, a standard issue rifle of Eorzean make and a handgun originating from the same place, each lovingly cared for by their owner as he glanced forward as the commanding officer said, "Delta 7, you've been assigned to inner work on criminal aspects of the interior of the city. You'll find a contact at your marked locations. That is all. Dismissed!"
The room's occupants stood, some stretching while some rushed out of the door, eager to get to their assignments or to just escape the briefing room.
The Elezen stood quietly, and made his way towards the front of the camp, where the vehicles that would take his squad into the city awaited.
"Captain Rose? If I might have a word?"
The Elezen turned around with a perfect aboutface as he responded, "At ease Staff Sergeant, and please, call me Lazuli. What is it?"
The Staff Sergeant fumbled about for a moment before he handed a small envelope to Lazuli, saying, "A message from General Hewley sir. He said that you would want to see this."
With another salute, the Staff Sergeant turned and walked away, as Lazuli opened the letter while walking towards his squad's carriage.
Within the envelope was a handwritten letter, simple text lining it as Lazuli read, "Captain Rose, you'll be meeting with a contact who will be accompanying you into the field. They're well trained in combat situations, but won't be of much help to you in terms of battle prowess. Keep them safe.
-General Angeal Hewley."
As Lazuli placed the letter into a pocket, he marked the back of it, where additional instructions had been placed for meeting the contact.
As Delta 7 settled into the back of the chocobo led carriage, they made checks on their weaponry as Lazuli stared into the distance, looking towards the faint sight of Kotori.
The chocobos gave a cry as the driver patted them on the back, and Lazuli's squad hit the road that headed into Kotori...
