While everyone was inside the briefing room, geeking out at having to meet their new superior, they were likely too absorbed to notice... [i]She was already there[/i]! Of course, she seemed to be severely focused on something herself, but quickly noted everyone getting seated next the large, oblong table in the center of the room. She began to speak, her voice pleasant, but very authoritative. [color=8882be]"Welcome. I do hope everyone is ready for their very first briefing? I'll review the plan of our first operation."[/color] [color=8882be]"Before I start, I'd like to apologize that this all seems so.. slapdash. Mainly, because it is. I'm afraid I'm one of the few ones in the entire town that actually has real experience in this sort of thing. In any case.."[/color], she would quickly and efficiently pass around a few dossiers, [color=8882be]"You NC Pilots will load up and rendezvous at one of Fairbanks LTD's outposts, an underground one. They want us to check out why it hasn't been responding in any way for a few days now. My personal guess is either a fatal reactor failure, or it was attacked. If we're unlucky, it could be both."[/color] [color=8882be]"The first picture there is the sole entrance, large NC-grade doors. Most of the interior is NC accessible, due to it being an NC production facility, and hangar. Verona, your job is to try and open it the regular way. It has a remote connection, try to hack into it. If that doesn't work, Eli, you have permission to use one of Blur's Demo-charges to blow it sky high. Set it at that red-highlighted area, a weakpoint in the design."[/color] [color=8882be]"When everyone's inside, you'll split into three teams. To your left will be the facilities' NC hangar and production area. Percy, Madison, Go in, and clear it out of any hostiles if any are detected. Jingo, Verona, go to the right, towards the material storage facilities and reactor core. Do note, as aforementioned, the reactor core could have had a malfunction. Verona, if you detect any radiation, get to the reactor and hack into the control system, initiate the failsafe. Jingo, as your NC is the smallest and least durable, if Verona detects radiation, get out of that area immediately and follow Eli instead. Eli, you will go directly forwards into the facility's barracks and control areas. If a reactor core failure was the problem, they'll likely be held up in the emergency room, highlighted yellow. Wait until any radiation subsides and save them from any hostiles."[/color] [color=8882be]"You'll all be launching in..."[/color], She checks her watch, [color=8882be]"Four hours. Get a meal, then connect into your NC and run the simulation programs that have been installed. This OP is a very simple one, just get in, fix whatever issue, then get out. I expect a success rate of 98%, minimum."[/color] [color=8882be]"We'll likely get to choose what contracts we'll accept afterwards. We already have two contracts awaiting judgement, but we'll discuss them after this operation."[/color] [color=8882be]"Oh, finally, that last picture and its' captions, detail the plausible attackers, and what they'll most likely be packing. Good luck on the OP, but you honestly won't need it."[/color] The possible enemies include... Volkov would've likely sent out 3 Non-NC walkers, tanks, and 5~ Transports or Gunships. Alternatively, they might've sent one or two proper NC's alone. Verona's Swarm would be the best bet against Volkov units. Denver-Vegas probably sent out one of their 'Siege Tanks' or two. They feature near-NC grade armor and kinetic weapons, but their rear armor protecting the engine is poor. Red-star would send out two of their melee-focused NC's. Let Blur handle them and give fire support. One good hit from one of their heat-blades would likely kill, so don't let them. Paragon would likely send out a few of their amphibious hovercraft, with a possibility of salvaged energy weapons. Mad-E's armor could tank them the best, so let her take the worst hits. [color=8882be]"Dismissed"[/color]
