Ronan responded to the questions.  "Robots, Xenos, and Abominations."  The tone changed to contempt when mentioning the last item.  It was a derogatory name for the artificial beings or clones from the vat.  The Emergence Entity allowed their citizens to have up to two clones as a substitute for undertaking dangerous missions.  While it seemed altruistic, the Emergence Entity in reality wanted cheap cannon fodder.  Furthermore, the clones looked human from a distance yet had an uncanny valley appearance.  Cloning didn't typically come out pretty as function was a priority over form. 

Once everyone was all aboard, the siblings gave the signal to roll.  Although the seating was pushed to the max, claustrophobes may relocate to the other VTOL.  This was going to be a raid.  "Preparing to deploy!  Going in!"  Laleh warned the group, "I'm the first one to visit you if you do any wannabe hero antics.  Too many of our finest operatives kicked the bucket trying to be a hero...and instead doing something stupid!"

By the time Laleh gave her spiel, the VTOL was in the air, deploying.  They were going into the forest according to the coordinates. The forest was moderately dense, providing plenty of cover to use.  While the trees provided some protection against projectiles, they should not be counted on.  At the end of the day, the best defense was not being shot at!  Since the operatives didn't come in hot, there was an opportunity for stealth as the stranded enemies were none the wiser.  The pilot also made sure they didn't land far from the convoy, two kilometers away at most.
