Sorry, didn't mean to come off as impatient. It's been awhile since I've been here for an RP and the last time I was, it seemed like a new one started up every day. Also, I haven't had as much free time as I do now for a long time, so I need to realize not everyone has as clear of a schedule as I do.

DragonHeart, I'm fine with either of the scenarios you have proposed. Though I do feel just making the third squad an all NPC would be easier, as then we could have our characters close by, instead of spreading them out.
