Kradis listened intently to Colonel Blade, making sure to make mental notes on the key details: Varied ground forces, hostages, data retrieval... Kradis was unsure of how useful his GEAR would be, considering artillery tends to be very inaccurate, and couldn't possibly be fired and ensure no hostage casualties, at least from his point of view. sure, this was not a live fire exercise, obviously, but it's still a good idea to treat it as the real thing. He raised his hand to get the Colonel's attention, and, after the others had finished their questions, and when he was acknowledged, spoke up about his concerns. Kradis had never participated in a mission involving hostages.

"Sir, will our GEAR load outs be modified for this exercise? And what kind of armaments will be outfitted to our GEARS, if that is the case? I'm unsure if I can use my normal armaments without causing severe hostage casualties, as you probably know is the case with artillery..." Kradis crossed his arms, and waited for Blade's response. Hopefully the Colonel could clear up his doubts.
