Most of the mission log was social but we got there eventually! The mission has reached a level of completion where the rest can be handwaved. The party split up when they encountered a monster that had been hunting the animals targeted for domestication. After defeating it, it was just a matter of rounding up Chocobos and bringing them back to the Inhabited City.

Those involved were Suigetsu (dropped recently), Sasuke, Sans, Eichi, and Gladiolus.
