Garald Medvedev
HP: 1
CND: Healthy
Garald was prepared to ask Kaito to leave the room so that Cognagion could rage and vent at him without the younger member of their group having to be exposed to it. Cognagion fumed instead of exploded though, and Garald did nothing to prevent him from retreating into his work. Instead he clapped Kaito on the shoulder and held onto him firmly. Enough to prevent him from leaving before Garald had a brief few words with him.
"
Good job today. The miscommunication with the steam aside, you did well. Perhaps you are disappointed about how your duel with the Opposition's hacker turned out. You made sure the cameras could not be used against us though. That is important. The glasses worked well also."
Garald's grip lessened, then his hand fell away from Kaito's shoulder.
"
Take some time to decompress. Later I would like your help getting a head start on preparing for our next operation."

After his conversation with Kaito concluded Garald collects a tablet and settles down somewhere quiet to ruminate on what they had learned from their past experiences dealing with artifacts, empowered foes, and the geography of the war they waged. He looked for patterns in the past to estimate the future. He looked over recent and developing events, calling on Kaito to supply him with the information he felt he needed, and used this in an effort to gauge potential sites for their next battle with the Opposition.
Whether this bore fruit that Garald was satisfied with or not, he later moved onto reviewing his knowledge of regional powers and, supplementing that with any political or civil personalities Kaito could get him information on, Garald began his next endeavor: looking for targets that Cognagion could use to the Horsemen's advantage. He grouped them into regions, and their viability for projecting assets over distances in the event he could not accurately predict the location of their next battle. After pruning down the excess and Garald notes on the potential targets, their utility, and provided potential ideas for how Cognagion might be able to best gain advantage over them. Then, if the final result seemed seditious, he forwarded it over to the device Cognagion was using.

Precognition: 1D20+12 = [14]+12 = 26
He'll also try to come up with a list of targets for Cognagion to manipulate in one way or another (socially, possession, short term power use, etc.) that could be used to get us access to resources or manpower for our next operation. If Kaito wants to help with that, the assistance would be welcome. Even if there Precognition/prediction for the next confrontation is not viable, Garald could try to come up with a short list of regional powers that may be able to transport whatever assets end up coming into play. Usually we have some forewarning from our visions anyway. Here is an Expertise Military check for Strategic/Tactical assessment and/or more specific knowledge of military figures.
Expertise Military: 1D20+15 = [4]+15 = 19
If Kaito or Cognagion need help with something that would benefit from Garald's Quickness, such as information processing or tasks that don't require specialized training he'd more than likely be willing to assist.
