Maine had left the training room when Delta informed him that there would be a meeting for their first mission. He wondered what kind of missions they would be assigned to, although he doubted they would be solo ODST mission drops like he would do prior. No, it seemed like they would do a larger scale tactical operation.

The director didn't have much to say, and that left Delta with giving him the mission briefing. Although slightly different from the others, because of his AI specifically given the information, he knew everything that he needed to know.

"Sounds simple enough. Looks like they have a pretty good arsenal coming with them. A second in command, a hacker, and a specialized soldier. I'll look out for them on the mission, take a shot and kill them if I can." 

"That would be most wise, agent Maine. But remember, those high value targets will be heavily guardered. You will have to catch them off guard. The hacker will most likely be hiding in one of the buildings, making it tougher to get to him. Taking out those key figures will surely sway the tide of the battle, however." 

"Affirmative Delta. Anything else I should know?" 

"It looks like that Washington fellow is leading the charge I suppose." 

"I guess that had to choose someone. I should probably listen to what he has to say." 

The plan seemed pretty simplistic, no overly complicated strategies or tactics in mind. He didn't expect there to be, they all barely knew each other. He would be overwatch, which he expected to be right from the start. He wondered where he would be posted up at, whether that would be from the sky, a higher part of the reactor, or some distance away higher up. Once he knew the location it didn't matter too much, his ehanced vision and sniper rifle would help him take care of the rest.

Hopefully the others could take care of their jobs, and Maine didn't have to go through five clips saving people and killing ones that they couldn't. Making sure he knew all of the enemy movements, spotted them out, etc. Maine would make their lives easier, but it was up to them to complete the task.

Agent Maine shook his head when two people decided to speak up, talking this and that and just being disrespectful assholes. That was no way to talk to leadership, and if they were in the military they would know this. Smart ass remarks and whining got you nowhere.

"The man meant questions for the good of the order, not bitching and whining from the peanut gallery. If you're asking for how you should do your job and what you should do when things go wrong, obviously you're not competent enough to do your job and do it right. You are supposed to be elite soldiers, and the job for you two is a distraction. The easiest job. If between the two of you, you both don't have enough brain cells to complete your task by yourselves and stop your bitching, I feel sorry. We don't need to know the whole mantra for our enemy. We were assigned a mission, and we carry out the mission. I don't care if the other guys are a charity group. You chose to be here one way or another, so you are expected to do what your commanding officer asks and not question them. You are a soldier. 

As for leadership, grow up. It's not you guys, it's him. They picked him for a reason. Obviously you too are not competent enough to lead yourselves, let alone a team. You are supposed to be the best of the best... start acting like it, not like a bunch of teenage girls. Now unless you have any useful questions, stop getting your damn feelings hurt and just worry about doing your job right."
