I was curious how long it would take for someone to point that out about James. Before I start explaining that, let me thank you all for sticking by me and my lack of updates.

In regards to James and his lack of planning, James is the kind of guy that, given time to plan, he can usually deal with most any situation. The problem he’s been encountering in the story thus far is that he hasn’t had much time to develop a plan of attack. He’s reacting to the situations as they come to his attention. The problem with this, is that he’s never really been able to effectively plan on the fly.

To wrap this up before I talk myseld into a circle, james is a very competant planner… he just hasn’t had the time until now.

As far as the armoury logs go, not only do they check out items for missions, (of which they’ve had 4) Department 7 also has an extensive training area which requires the heroes to either bring their own weaponry or use the weapons in the armoury. Department 7 has a policy that forbids new members from leaving the premises within the first month of enlistment. As a result, training exercises for Angel’s team take place at least once a day to increase team cohesiveness as well as to keep them occupied so they don’t kill each other from boredom.

While it is good to see an update, it has some problems from sentence one.
Something my years in had taught me was that assassination required recon, careful planning, and patience.
My years in what? As far as recon, careful planning, and patience from what we have seen of James he would have trouble recognizing those if they walked into his room announced by a herald and wearing name tags. I mean he just walked into an enemy base, and his planning amounted to making his face look like someone who belonged there. No changing his clothes, forgot the everpresent walking stick.
The descriptions of the heroes were interesting, my only issue with them was that as far as I can tell it has only been a couple of days since the bus. How much of an armoury log would they have built up
James is also wrong about the nerd being a bad shot, and he should know better. During the bus attack the nerd fires eight shots. Two into each of the ghouls. He is not a bad shot. He just wants to make sure what he hits stays down.
Having said all that James last paragraph is great.
