@Da Vinci
That's right. Broadly speaking, we'll be dealing with three types of Servants this go-round.
[k]
@Da Vinci
The first is Servants summoned by this Singularity[sr]directly who have nothing to do with us.
[k]
@Da Vinci
Thanks to Sheba, we've been able to observe at least a few of those there.
[k]
@Da Vinci
We can't tell who any of these Heroic Spirits are yet, but luckily, none of them are showing up as hostile.
[k]
[charaFace E 10]
@Da Vinci
So I'm pretty optimistic that they'll be willing to help us out once we explain the situation.
[k]
[charaFace E 0]
@Da Vinci
The second is Chaldea Servants that were drawn[sr]into this Singularity when it first spawned.
[k]
@Da Vinci
Cú Chulainn was one of them. The moment he found out the Singularity was calling to him, he was all,
[k]
[charaFace E 2]
@Da Vinci
“Hunting in the mountains!? Now you're talkin' my language! I'll go on ahead and set up the campsite!”
[k]
[charaFace E 12]
@Da Vinci
...and heroically ran off to join the advance team.
[k]
@Da Vinci
He's probably getting food, shelter, and camp-appropriate clothing ready for you and Mash at the campgrounds even as we speak.
[k]
[charaFace E 0]
@Da Vinci
And last, but definitely not least,[sr]there's you guys[line 2]
[k]
@Da Vinci
The survey team you're going to lead[sr]that will head there soon.
[k]
@Da Vinci
Really, “team” is a pretty loose term for the guys that went there in advance, so you'll still have to do a lot of info-gathering for yourselves once you get there.
[k]
@Da Vinci
But don't worry. The survey team I'm putting together will consist of Servants who know their way around Japan...
[k]
[charaFace E 10]
@Da Vinci
...so all you'll have to do is investigate this Singularity as usual.
