~The USS Nebuchadnezzar, in the orbit of Pluto: The team has been called to a pre-mission briefing in one of the ship's Ops Centers.~
"Okay, listen up," Kerr said, stalking around the table. "I'm Staff Sergeant Brennan Kerr. I'll be your CO for this mission. We're all familiar with this drill. We go in, poke around, and find the problem. We fix it and leave. This is supposed to be a non-combat mission, so don't get too trigger happy." He glanced around the room. This team had been specially assigned, and he hadn't worked with any of them in the past. Looking through their background and service records, he couldn't help but notice that they were all good at what they did, but none were top of their class. He was a bit worried about Kane, but he'd dealt with bigger problems in the past. Couldn't help but notice that the team was hand-picked out of the almost-bests. There was something going on that Brass didn't want anyone knowing. "We've been assigned to investigate the loss of contact with Victoria Base," Kerr continued, masking any worries or suspicions he may have had. "It seems pretty routine, but we'll cover the specifics in the dropship. Any questions?"
