The rest of the team was prompt to arrive and take their seats in the Hummingbird. Rareth had previously spoken with Ashley about the flight plan, so she went ahead to the cockpit to perform the pre-flight checks while Rareth addressed the rest of the team. There was no denying that the mission would be dangerous, but given the types of people who she was working with, they had all likely been a part of more dangerous operations before. Rareth certainly had. The greatest challenge here would be to minimize civilian casualties, as it was a hostage situation. 

"Alright, looks like everyone is here. We should be taking off shortly. I'm sure you have all reviewed the plan, but just to be sure, but the objective is to identify the exact locations of the hostages onboard the station, then transmit that information to the small fleet that is waiting outside the planet's orbit. The station is decently large, and there were a fair number of civilians onboard, so there is no way we can extract them quietly. We just have to give our allies the information necessary to strike fast before these terrorists can conduct any executions. The Hummingbird has been outfitted with an IFF tag that should signal the station's defenses to ignore us, and to not report our approach. As well, the video feeds recovered by the Assembly's hackers early show a small hanger near the bottom of the station that the rebels do not appear to be using. We should be able to use it to get in undetected. If not, we do have one backup plan. The company that made this station has given us a program that can cause the station to block all communications within its hull. If we are detected, we can use that to prevent them from reporting our position, but it should be used only as a last resort. The rebels have been forced to struggle to gain control of the station's technology ever since they occupied it, so a comms blackout may not immediately suggest an infiltration, but it will put them on alert. Plus it would only be a matter of time before they figure out how to disable the jammer, so we will be on a timer from the moment we activate it. Now, since scouring every room of the station would be impractical, our best bet is to find the room that the rebels are using as a data center and find whatever records they are keeping on their prisoners. There are a few likely locations we can check." Rareth explained. For this mission, they would likely have the advantage of being able to use some of the station's technology against the rebels, but even so, they could not necessarily rely on them, just in case the rebels turned out to be more capable than they guessed.
