Jellal unrolled a series of maps and diagrams onto the huge oak table they were gathered around, pointing a ball point pen at the intersections marked in bright red sharpie. "Here," he tapped one particularly bold X near the edge of the waterline, near the docks. "This is their current base of operations. It's not their main one, but it's the biggest we've managed to locate so far."
The Oracion Seis, as they called themselves, were a supremely illegal drug smuggling operation that Mavis had been attempting to track down for months. They were slippery and had at least one confirmed information specialist in their midst, hence how they had managed to get away every single time, even if it was by the skin of their necks. Their wares were illicit. At least three quarters were also magical—unicorn blood, mermaid scales and hair, illusionary drugs and ardour potions—which was why Mavis was dialing her Side Town contacts instead of leaving a tip at the local police station.
"We're going to surround them," Jellal continued, drawing a quick circle. "Diversion from the east, move in and engage. The others are already on the scene. We follow Mavis' attack route."
