After a couple of weeks of normalcy in the barracks of the 1st Division a meeting of the captains was taking place. Many captains wondering what hollows have been planning.

Byakuya- It would seem that the hollows are organizing in a firm way. This could prove problematic if their numbers keep increasing.

Zaraki- Let their numbers rise it'll be more for me to cut down.

Mayuri- And even more for me to experiment on and use as test subjects as some of my subjects aren't all that durable.

Aizen- I wonder what they are planning could be devastating to the Soul Society.

Tosen- They may try to invade and go to war.

Gin- That's true and we'll have a messy battle on our hands.

Sajin- What actions should we be taking?

Soifon- I say we strike first and slaughter them all and bath in their blood.

Zaraki-….

Mayuri-…and they say Zaraki and I are blood thirsty and insane.

Yamamoto- Let's not get carried away Soifon we still need to investigate further before slaughtering them like lamb. We are organized and civil not a bunch of blood thirsty killers.

Shunsui- Least not anymore aye Yamaji

Unohana- That was in the past this is the present Captain Kyroku.

Ukitake- Quite right Captain Unohana we have to be smart about our approach in how we handle these hollows and their plans.

Mayuri- Maybe I could venture in the Hueco Mundo and catch some for some research?

Yamamoto- Absolutely

Mayuri- Really?

Yamamoto- Hell no! We need to be smart about this and if they see some of their own people missing might try a preemptive strike. We need a recon team to sneak in and sneak out.

Ukitake- Who will you be sending Sensei?

Yamamoto-For the leader of the team I am sending Captain Kuchiki.

Byakuya- I will do my best to get what we need Commander.

Yamamoto- I know you will. I am sending 3rd Seats Scarlett and Uchiha with you.

Byakuya- I thought you wanted just recon not go in and annihilate them all.

Yamamoto-….never said I wanted that.

Byakuya- You implied it by assigning those two powerhouses. They both are on captain level sending in the three of us might draw attention who knows how strong their senses are. They could easily sense our presence with the three of us together.

Yamamoto- True but I trust in the three of you to mask your spiritual power to be unseen.

Byakuya- We shall do our best.

Yamamoto- Now if you three get into danger I will send a rescue team.

Shunsui- Who will you, be sending?

Yamamoto- You, Zaraki, and Inuyasha

Byakuya- Commander if you really want to go to war with them just say so.

Yamamoto- I don't want to go to war! Just want you guys the comeback safely so I'm sending heavy backup.

Ukitake- Heavy backup would be sending Captains Komamura, Soifon, Hitsugaya, and Ichimaru. You're sending a death squad.

Yamamoto- Enough of this talk get ready for your mission. Dismissed!

Byakuya- He really wants to make sure we come back. I mean good lord sending those three after us is insane.

Ukitake- Just wants to make sure we get the intel you all retrieve and that we don't lose any soldiers.

Byakuya- I guess you're right.
