[b]"Breathe, Ensign."[/b] Sagan sighed at Dole's jittery demeanor, far too used to dealing with fresh meat straight out of the academy at this point. [b]"No one's gonna bite your head off for stuttering. Alright, people, let's hear it. Opinions?"[/b] He rubbed his chin, considering the options while listening to everyone else weigh in. No sense in speaking his mind as the CO before all the options were on the table. 

Once Leah was done, Sagan nodded to himself, finally deigning to voice his thoughts. 

[b]"Right, that's everyone accounted for. At least one vote for each. Well, maybe a half for the blackout. Regardless, if this were a democracy, we'd be Coalies. Now, let's see here:"[/b] He brought up a tactical display of their current operational area of Gelcastre, starting to point each operation zone out as he spoke.

[b]"I know we'd all [i]like[/i] to back up the Helldogs, but it's both not our mission and a bad use of limited resources: those being SOF units. Reroute this to literally any other available ground force that can get it done."[/b] 

His finger lingered over the outer districts next.

[b]"Now, I hear you, Hex. I really do. You make good points, but the problem comes back to force allocation again. Are we damn sure there isn't a single infantry unit that can run this op? The way I see it, we're best suited as a unit to hit the industrial district, [i]and[/i] it gets us at least somewhat closer to our actual mission objective. Now, Ensign,"[/b] He turned back to the green boy, trying to be as disarming as he could manage. 

[b]"Who else've we got on call? At the very least, for knocking out the AA. I'm not holding my breath on being lucky enough to have infantry SOF assets in this AO already."[/b]
