::Iole gives Connolly no signal that she heard him,but her expression as she wavers on indecision is signal enough. She simply glowers at the commander before simply answering in a salute::
Sir.

"That's what I thought."
The officer continues on with the remainder of the operational planning, occasionally shooting Iole a disapproving glance between breaks in speaking. Several minutes later the briefing ends and a temporary dismissal is called in order to prepare.
Connolly walks away with the other officers but as they enter into the command tent, he holds back, and subtly motions to Iole for her to join him.

::She glances behind her to make sure the officer doesn't catch them, then ducks inside with Connolly behind her. She turns to face him::
Well?

"This way."
Connolly guides her over to a isolated spot before talking.
"If you want to help, there's only one thing you can do. Leave now for district. Soften them up best you can, scatter them, do whatever you can before the attack to reduce causalities on both sides. That gives you less then an hour, I only be able to cover for you for so long and if your sighted or caught in the battle-zone before the first wave, there's nothing I can do to help you or even be linked to your AWOL. You got forty-five minutes to get forty-five blocks north and back to the battle column without being spotted by our side, got it?"

(OOC: So if she were to go dragon on that block before they got there, would they be able to see her?)
::Iole nods and turns heel. But before she stops short of taking off and turns back around. She surprises the captain by throwing her arms around his waist in a hug::
Thank you.
::Then once she lets go of him, she drops to the ground. Connolly only catches white feathers dancing across his vision and then she's gone::

((Aye figure you're like a helicopter or plane, chances are if your of any decent size, you'd be seen long before they are within range. Also start another thread for the battle :3))
Connolly is surprised at first by Iole's sudden hug and after she departs, he lets out a sigh of frustration and anxiety. His neck was on the line as much as hers, if not more. "When the war came, the war came hard..."

(OOC: Well that line was a long time coming. I'm afraid I'm not as creative with titles as you are)

Connolly, the other officers, as well as many LPA look onward in curiosity towards the sounds of an unseen battle emanating from where they are to attack in a short time. Already they were preparing to move out, loaded onto the trucks and armored cars, but now they stop, confused as to what is happening.
Connolly steps away and turns, head in hand. "Why? Why did I let her do that? Should of known it would of been loud..."
There's a call by one of the commanders to move, double-time, to their attack location and without hesitation or a word, Connolly hops into the officers armored car.
Sid and Oliver sit atop one of the crude, but effective tanks utilized by the LPA. Bargain items, bought on the black-market and brought in by blockade runners. They sit there, watching towards the direction of the new and unwarranted battle sounds. "Wonder w'at t'at's all about." "Maybe a mouse spooked them."

(OOC: Are we moving back to this thread then or do you want to post the battle in the other one?)
