Vael did not take his eyes off of the compound below, though he did respond to Spartan Ryker. [color=orange]”I will join you. We will need to move quickly and avoid discovery, but we may also have to ensure there is no one to discover the charges before they detonate. We should make sure that our reinforcements are ready to join the battle the very moment the rebels are put on alert. The construct…Shih, can it send a message informing the battle group of this plan so they can be ready for our signal?”[/color]

[color=lime]”[i]She[/i] can, yes.”[/color] Shih replied with some noticeable offense in her tone. [color=lime]”There is always some small risk, but if I send the message as a short, encrypted data burst, then the rebels shouldn’t be able to intercept it. Or at least, they won’t understand what they intercepted until it is too late.[/color]

Vael nodded towards Aviza, as it was her suit the AI was inhabiting. [color=orange]”Then you should do so. Our reinforcements need to be ready to act.”[/color]

[color=lime]”Already working on it. As for Petty Officer Younan’s concerns, he does have a point. We still don’t know [i]who[/i] we are supposed to be capturing here, but I think the rebels themselves can help us figure that out. Once all Hell breaks loose, they are going to be scrambling to get their leader out of there. Spartan Aviza’s armor is equipped to easily intercept their communications, so if we decrypt them, we might be able to learn what we need.”[/color] The AI suggested. 

While the others were speaking, Vael slowly crawled back from the edge of the Mesa, making sure he was far enough away that he did not silhouette against the sky when he stood back to his feet. [color=orange]”Someone who is equipped to observe from distance should remain here to assist in guiding us through the compound.”[/color]
