The door to the room swung open, presenting to the assembled Captains of the Gotei 13 a pale sunken face with olive-green hair. Captaincy seemed to have been taking its toll on the young Aramis Tezuka-- the self proclaimed heir to Squad 12's past Captain, Sayuri. Although he had never been the most energetic or sociable of individuals, but since his Captaincy, he had become a complete recluse, almost never leaving the Barracks, and, from the whispers of the Squad itself, barely even leaving the labs in general. He delegated his duties to other members of the Squad, while he buried himself in notes, and experiments. His Shihakusho was unkempt and skewed-- a size too big for the Captain so that its overlong sleeves hung over one of his arms. The other sleeve had been cut off, leaving a pale, skinny limb, that seemed to have turned an unusual shade of necrotic black and purple. His eyes were sunken in his head, with deep shadows underneath them. Still. Despite the disheveled appearance, he was technically in full uniform, his rapier Zanpakuto on his hip and his Captain's haori worn over his uniform. A soft clinking was audible as he took his place, seemingly unnoticing or uncaring of his lateness to the meeting. The Squad 12 Captain gave a short yawn, as he looked at the other Captains. Himitsu, Grin, the Captain Commander, Kimiko, Tatsuya, Alexander Kuma-hebi, Hotaru, Kyomei, July, Arantima.... "Unexpectedly large turnout.... interesting..." Aramis mused quietly as though he had arrived well before the meeting had begun. "Tatsuya-taichou, perhaps we can discuss matters after this meeting. I've been working on something that might interest you, if that is indeed your goal." And off Aramis went. He had wasted no time with pleasantries of introductions, but had merely dived right into the conversation. With his trained and honed senses he had overhead some of the conversation en route. "I assume this meeting is regarding the recent assassination of world leaders, or the surge in Hollow activity?"
"Given this is a Human World matter, and given our past history with Xcution, I second Himitsu-taichou's suggestion to work alongside Uzaki Enterprises. They have thus far been generally benevolent, and they are still young. It would do Soul Society well to cement good relations with them. For humans they are remarkably progressive, and it would be disastrous if our enemies gained that resource first." Aramis yawned. "Unless new evidence has come to light, which I was not aware of, the culprit is unknown at present, and jumping to conclusions will not benefit us. We are still recovering after the last assault on Soul Society, Enma-taichou is missing, Sozen is gone. I have limited forays in military tactics, but I do understand that a wounded wolf should not provoke a rival pack." He rubbed his eyes. "Besides, this seems beneath Kouhai. World leaders mean nothing to him. This is something he has nothing to gain by. I find the possibility of Las Noches being behind this, dubious. Possible, yes, but dubious."
Aramis then continued, without breaking stride. "I also second the suggestion that we should go about retrieving one of these Hollows. Through careful study, we may learn more than expected, and if nothing else it will be an opportunity to study the means by which they are shackled. If Soul Society can replicate this, it will be a long term investment in our future. I would also propose we see if we can retrieve one or more of the bodies of the World Leaders that were assassinated, for study as well. No doubt human world doctors have already performed an autopsy, but it is unlikely they detected any spiritual phenomena present in the bodies. We possess the advancements to discern any spiritual anomalies that might hint to the killer's identity." He drawled out, before falling silent again.
