Ryan leaned back against a wall lackadaisically, feigning apathy as they were all briefed by Ryder. The designs the enemy frames appeared to indicate a weak point on the upper back region. And the weapons they toted implied a limited range, but despite their lack of firepower the enemies' sheer number concerned Ryan. That is, until she took a peek at her teammates' CVFs. They were all pretty nice, some really nice. She questioned why some of these people even need this job if they could afford such high-end frames. Ryan's clunker is barley running and after this payday she was gonna get a heap of new parts. 

As the others discussed strategy, Ryan felt a bit more optimistic about the odds. With the heat these guys are packing, she may not even need to fire a single shot. "It goes without saying, but if we're gonna hit them at night I suggest we play it quiet. Set up, wait for an opportunity, then hit 'em with everything we got all at once. No use in drawing out the fight. That is, [i]if you can[/i] play it quiet." As she said so, she eyed some of the big fancy frames. Not exactly subtle, the enemy may detect them long before they could get the jump on them. Ryan's role would probably be best somewhere mid to close range. But she had no idea how trigger-happy some of these guys were, and she sure as hell doesn't want to be caught in friendly-fire. "I'll position myself west of the ridge, so don't be firing in that direction. I'll only move in close once snipers and CAS (close air support) give the signal. But if all goes well, we shouldn't need to get that close."
