[tri OOM] 1000 Problems
"Thank you, all of you," Taichi says to the line of screens. "If you get any more news about Meicoomon, contact us as soon as you can. In the meantime, we'll dispatch people to deal with your current issues."
There is a rumbling of agreement from the screens, and they blink out one by one: TonosamaGekomon first, then Goemon, then Andromon, CaptainHookmon, and finally, after a brief pause, Centalmon. Yamato watches as Taichi seems to deflate, letting out the tension in his shoulders and relaxing in one great exhalation.
"So?" Yamato asks absently, starting to rise from his chair. Taichi shoot him a look that makes him sink back down into it, holding his hands up in a gesture of 'look, look, I'm not jostling my injuries.'
"No news about Meicoomon, lots of news about other people looking for Meicoomon," Taichi says. "CaptainHookmon says the Ironworks Trading Syndicate is conducting raids all along the East Server Sea. Grabbing ships and crews and forcing them into a fleet, hoping to set a trap to capture Meicoomon. And TonosamaGekomon and Goemon are both complaining that a gang of would-be warlords have turned their territories into some kind of grand hunting ground to decide who should be king, whoever catches Meicoomon wins. Centalmon says that people have been trying to break into the Temple of the Chosen, hoping to raid it for knowledge, and I guess we can assume that's all about catching Meicoomon too."
"Now that Gennai's plans have collapsed, he's left one hell of a vacuum. Everyone's looking to capture Meicoomon and use her for themselves," Yamato mutters. "Fine. We can deal with all this."
He rises from his seat again, throwing a sharp look at Taichi when the other boy moves to help, and limps past him, out into the safehouse's main room. Everyone has their own tasks and hobbies distracting them, but they look up when Yamato enters with Taichi just behind him, waiting for the news.
"Mimi, take Miyako and Daisuke and head out to the Great Lake Region," Yamato says. "TonosamaGekomon and Goemon are dealing with some idiots trying to have a competition on their territory, some kind of hunt for Meicoomon. Convince them to give up whatever stupid king-contest shit they're doing, and find out if they know anything about Meicoomon."
"Roger-roger," Mimi chirps.
"Jyou -- ..."
"You and Taichi are still injured," Jyou says. "I should stay here."
"We only have two seafaring Digimon, you and Iori are the only people I can send," Yamato replies. "We'll be fine. You and Iori need to head to the East Server Sea. Some trading company are raiding ships and enslaving the crews, forcing them into some kind of fleet -- since that entire sea is under our protection and we don't tolerate slavers, you two need to free the slaves and convince the company that they don't want to keep pursuing this. They've got some kind of trap in mind for Meicoomon, so find out what it is and if we can use it."
"Fine," Jyou says. "I'll contact Shu and have him visit. Someone needs to keep giving you check-ups."
"Sora, you and Takeru are headed to File Island. People are trying to get into the Temple, find out why, reconnaissance only. Take Ken with you," Yamato says. "Koushiro will be coordinating all three groups from here. You leave in the morning."
