Not long through their diverse training program, and Squad Sigma already was being deployed for a mission - one of utmost importance, it seemed. The Cruxi were attacking another planet, so soon after their assault on Gomorrah VI, with the concern being that there were one of two major colonies that the Cruxi could attack. Therefore, Sigma would have to split into two strategic groups to defend both areas simultaneously. Lora shared a glance with Harold, but she wisely cut it off a bit early, so as not to prolong the staring daggers.

Most alarmingly, however, was the matter of their new weapon, codename "Mist". A gigantic orb that emitted pilot-destroying radiation at medium range, flanked by a sizable patrol of otherwise regular Cruxi war-machines. This, presumably, was the reason for Sigma's early deployment - still, it put quite a lot on their plate. While notable that Mist could harm friend and foe alike, it was also a reasonable guess that it wouldn't fire if there was a majority of their units at risk for it. But then again, there was so much humanity's united forces yet knew about the Cruxi - who could say for such how much of their own they were willing to destroy for the sake of victory?

Lora's hand went up. Harold took the first question, in order to inquire the squad's potential support, while Lora allowed herself to follow up with a different topic. "Could you go into detail about Mist's firing systems - how frequently does it fire, and how can we watch for it's attack?" If the squad knew more about how Mist worked, they could find some way to work around or exploit the weapon's firing systems to avoid risk. "Moreover, how do we even damage it? It looks like a gas planet, so I assume it's not simple to attack."
