Of course it made sense in hindsight, there were Star League tunnels used to build up the planet when it was first settled all over the continent, why wouldn’t there be one under the fort? And clearly neither the NPDRE nor the Crimson Fists knew about them, why would they know about that one? And neither would the Knights if Cassandra hadn’t told them. It was extremely lucky someone in the fort found it when they did. She briefly entertained herself with the thought of breaching the prison through the tunnel with their ‘Mechs directly, a smirk creeping up to her face and tugging on the bruise on her cheek that has changed colors at least four times since the brawl, before returning to the real world quickly for the briefing.

[color=76D0FF]”Assuming I had a shot at everything, what’s my target priority order between the barracks, power plant, comms tower, hostile air and ‘Mechs?”[/color] Marit turned to Ingrid as the one who’ll be making decisions in the field, though the question could just as well be answered by the Colonel. From looking at the map, they’d have to get rid of a decent amount of the turrets to have a good shot on anything in the first place, making her wonder just how useful hitting the generator would be.
[color=76D0FF]”You also mentioned minefields, do we know where?”[/color] She turned back to the Colonel specifically.

Marit didn’t share Raven’s enthusiasm for what she saw as the Colonel’s audition to Valhalla. [color=76D0FF]”Colonel, is there even a remote chance this diversion will work, given your… Uhh…”[/color] She wiggled the fingers of her left hand to illustrate what she meant, trying to avoid the word ‘disability’. That, and putting on a show didn’t mean it would be above board, as Keahi has clearly demonstrated. If the Crimson King wouldn’t bring at least a second ‘Mech to sit in the treeline and snipe at the Colonel’s with a five- or ten-class autocannon or two - cheating while making it look like an actual duel to most outside observers - Marit would be officially surprised.

But this was good. They had a good plan, a dirty trick or two up their sleeve, a Raven with just the right type of madwoman at the stick, a Lance Leader who could see it through, three PPCs between the upgraded Shadow Hawk and Marauder - she subconsciously glanced at the latter ‘Mech’s pilot at the thought - outranging the large lasers.. An actual chance.
