Publius Claudius Nero assembled the men and his officers to adress them. Nero wore his military uniform and spoke from his horse:

"Men, we are about to embark on a mission that will take us a few months to complete. I hope to finish our job as quickly and efficiently as possible.

I have just sent a letter to Queen Electra asking her where she would like us to go first, to the rebelling cities or to the Galatians. Once I have recieved her reply, we will march.

Prepare yourselves men, Rome always aids her allies, and it is time we do just that!"

After the short speech Nero gathered his Legates and Tribunes into his command tent to begin to speak to them:

"Alright officers, its time to take action. I have just written a letter to Queen Electra asking her where she would like for us to strike first, although I've heard from some scouting information that the Galatians are near Side already. Because of this I think it might be more prudent for us to strike at the Galatians first, but I would like to hear your opinions as well as Electra's."

"Furthermore," Nero said looking at the Legate of VIII, "I've heard that LICA Jr. has gone off on a scouting mission for me. I would like to know the details of this scouting information when he returns. And by the way Legate, next time you want to make a decision sending one of my close friend's sons into dangerous territory, I suggest you run it by me. If LICA's son was hurt I'm sure his father would have a coniption!

Do we know how his scouting mission is going yet or must we wait until he returns to know his progress? And also when was he expected to return?"



OOC: Andrew I'm just looking for a few things in this

-Whether Electra would rather have Nero go to Smyrna or Galatia first

-Where Nero's officers think they should go first

-And any information that the Legate of VIII has on LICA Jr. I've been reading the posts about how LICA Jr. is about to get into a battle but I'm not sure if IC any of Nero or Nero's officers know that.
