Standing up Boyd walked over to the floor to ceiling window at the back of his office and stared down at the street below. "You're right. This is bigger than us and we do need the help of the others, but that's not going to be easy. I honestly had expected the Mayor to do something like that now, but maybe it will have to be that puts out the call."
It wasn't an idea he was comfortable with. Being the head of Rossum publicly, yes. Being a community leader, yes. Unifying the whole Import community to fight Vulcanus, now there was a problem. It wasn't the end goal that bothered him. He simply preferred being in the background, letting others take the spotlight for such things. It made it much easier to maneuver and get what he wanted that way. What Geddoe was asking, it was something Echo would have been ideal for. Before her imprint of Caroline anyway.
With one last glance down he turned back around.
"You're also right that if we follow their recruiters we should be able to find at least an important facility, if not their central one. At the very least we'll get a better idea of their numbers and movements. And because they're recruiting even right here in the city they can't use that act to stop us. You're going to need a team to do this, Imports, but I imagine that's what you wanted permission to do anyway. More than a team though. We'll recruit everyone we can who wants to fight Vulcanus. This is bigger than this company, but we can use it to shelter them, supply them, to transport them wherever they need to go to hurt Vulcanus."
Boyd's mind was analyzing the problem now. Already thinking of how, while this might not be his usual method of operation, that it could play out entirely to his advantage. "One of the reasons Vulcanus has been beating us is they have a unified command. They're coordinated. Even when we fight back it's individual teams with little communication. We're going to change that. This is a war, correct? Then we'll start acting like it. A central command for anti-Vulcanus activities."
"Do you think this is possible, or am I reaching too far?"
