[x] Go loud. Grief wings, barrier of mist, the works.
[x] Look for Akiko. Rin and Sakura are hard to corner with Sakura's abilities, and Akiko is likely to know more about the situation anyway.
-[x] If we find Akiko under fire, use our grief shields to protect her while bailing her out. Try and see if we can talk the Ishino girls down, but don't push it if they are obviously unwilling to listen.
[x] Keep an eye out for other megucas while on the way, but try not to engage them.
[x] Regroup with Rin and Sakura afterwards, then retreat to some place safe.
-[x] Once they are no longer in any direct danger, get them to fill you in on what is going on. Don't back down on this, if it feels like they are hiding something or being less than truthful, keep pressing.
[x] If combat erupts at any point:
-[x] Be intimidating and flashy, but focus on the defence. Intercept attacks with grief shields and subdue them either using grief binds or Mami's ribbons, but don't seriously harm anyone if you can help it. We're here to stop the war, not kill everyone involved.
-[x] Keep Kirika away from the fighting. She doesn't have a reliable way of subduing hostile megucas without resorting to her antimagic, and we want to keep that ability a secret until it becomes necessary to bust it out.

[x] Go for stealth. Keep your grief presence as suppressed as possible, for as long as possible when you extract the Sendai girls.
[x] Look for Akiko. Get her to a point Sakura can teleport to even if it means going back to Mitakihara.
-[x] If Akiko is under attack, decompress grief as a distraction. Our grief signature feels like a witch let's use that to our advantage. Keep in touch with Akiko. If the Ishinomaki meguca break contact, then recompress grief.
-[x] If they do not break contact, go loud. Make them know the storm is coming for them. Grief, pyrotechnics, and rainbow colors if nothing else, it will make them pause or draw their attention. Worst comes to worst, drop the hammer. Addendum: Do this at close range to avoid enemy intervention.
-[x] Watch for other meguca, do not engage if possible.
-[x] Use your grief to create mobile cover for your group. Fire grief marbles but keep the speed low, aim for injury not the kill. If possible have Mami subdue them with ribbons. Have Kirika provide indirect fire or destroy their cover. Do not have her use her anti-magic under any circumstances.

[x] Stealth Mode - standard safety measures apply (i.e. checking with senses for Megucas, etc)
[x] Akiko, we're coming for you first. Where are you? Any landmarks we can use?
-[x] Rin, where can you and Sakura meet up with us?
[x] Pick up Akiko and magic carpet to rendezvous point.
[x] First priority is to get out of the city and into the suburbs - less likely for Meguca to find us there. Once out of the danger zone we can decide what our next move is with the group.
[x] If combat erupts, fight defensively - use shields to cover retreat and Mami's ribbons to bind/trap/delay pursuit (Anti-magic is last resort)
-[x] regroup ASAP and get out of dodge - fighting risks permanently pissing off Ishinomaki before we know everyone's motivations and may lead to collapse of negotiations before they even begin.
