Blade leaned back on the desk at the front of the room as the first questions came up. One from the Iyuli exchange pilot, Raisa, and one from Kradis. He nodded to both as he answered. "Good questions, an' I'll answer both in order. Raisa; the intel will be electronic - as so much of our information is these days - and stored on a secured, isolated Hard Drive. Regarding your comment about infantry, a team from the [i]Claw's[/i] security forces will be accompanying us aboard Maxwell's helo to recover the hostages, and to storm the structure under our cover. After all, it's good for them to work together with us as well, and vice versa. They have specialists trained regardin' recovery of data an' the like, so it's somethin' we don't directly hafta be concerned with right now. That said, there may well be other occasions when we may be required to dismount and carry out, uh, 'direct action'. But we'll do some proper training around that first before we incorporate it into an exercise. Anyhew, our main role durin' that evolution of the operation will be ta give em' cover fire and secure the area while they carry out the recovery. "Kradis, yer artillery will primarily be utilized in coverin' the advance of the squad toward the position the hostages are secured in, and then actin' ta keep any hostiles away from the secured area once it's been taken. Not ta mention, y'all should be able to utilise guided shells in this op as well, rather than solely relyin' on cluster munitions and high explosives. Maxwell's helo has a laser designator, as do mosta the rest of our GEARs. The area of operation is pretty spread out, so we aren't gonna be too cramped to worry about friendly fire casualties in this instance. 'sides, y'all got more than just yer big guns to rely on too. Y'all can modify yer loadout if ya think it'll help, but bear in mind none of you are workin' solo, and we all have a variety of weapons ta cover this situation. If y'all are plannin' ta change things up, check out each others' 'standard fits' to see what we already got covered."
