As the group had gathered, Boreas noticed their line-up was fairly balanced, that was a relief, at least. Boreas felt a little uncertain about the way VAC had introduced him, even more so as he suggested pinging. Was that really necessary against these weak viruses? It felt a little like VAC didn't trust the group, but if he was truly under-experienced like he claimed to be, it might be for the best. With a sigh Boreas agreed and returned his attention to the conversation beside him. He considered things a little, and spoke up soon after Nazir finished. [color=6ecff6]"I know it's an odd suggestion, but hear me out for a moment; I think we should engage the ransom-level. Now don't get all surprised just yet, it's not like I'm sugessting we storm in there and fire away. Instead, why don't we finish our job like we were supposed to, eliminate all the spacefillers, and [b]then[/b] we engage the ransom-level? Fat chance it'll come at us while we're engaging spacefillers near its territory, anyway."[/color] Boreas, of course, was very aware his teammates might consider it risky, but he was the one tanking most hits wasn't he? And what use was there in leaving so long as there are still viruses around? Especially if the ransom-level indeed had someone or something worth holding for ransom.
