Avatar had been running simulations on different approaches to the situation, though it had only been able to run 468,298 instances of the coming firefight since it learned of Ruvea's injury. Overall, it could not determine within an acceptable margin of error which approach would be the most likely to succeed, but Sura's intentions of simply performing a standard room clearing operation was far from optimal.

"Alert: a standard attack is not advisable. The probability that enemy forces are creating an ambush is approximately 96%. The Human pilots of the shuttle are still alive, and the shuttle has not been breached, but enemy forces are likely capable of doing so at any time, either with a security override, or explosives. Since they have not, it is probable they intended to use the shuttle as a lure for those who survived the initial ambush. Therefore, they will expect us to attempt to return to it. I recommend executing a non-standard plan of attack to confuse the defenders." Avatar explained.

Activating its omni-tool, Avatar projected several camera recordings of the room, along with a simulated 3-D model it had created based on them which included the cover positions that enemy forces had deployed and their average distribution based on observed patrol routes. "The station VI has erased most of the virus I uploaded into the station's systems, but there is one file of consequence remaining which I concealed in the systems. When activated, it will divert all power in the airlocks towards emergency lighting, which will deactivate the primary lights, and overload the emergency lights. Are any combat personnel incapable of low-light vision?" It asked.
