[hr]

The barest hint of a sigh fled through the tall blond's nostrils, accepting the points made when they came from the O-5. He didn't have much constructive to say of the two renegades that had muddied the waters, not beyond what he had already regarding their mission statement. the heiress didn't care much beyond playing gadfly to as many people as she could, and the groundpounder missed home, beneath the token attempts at rhetorical framing.

"Project Forge". [i]Really?[/i]

In any case, it had come about that the boss had plans already— and effectively, the final say. He shrugged, favoring his diametric opposite with a wan smirk.

[color=ff4136]"Guess we've been overruled, Rhino. They say it's best to know the enemy as you'd know yourself— tell me if you ever feel like starting an insurrection against this rank tyranny. We can get into OPFOR's heads a little."[/color] he jested, lightly clapping Von Brandt on the shoulder before he began to shrug off his jacket, taking one last moment to savor the plush comfort of faux-sheepskin. [color=ff4136]"If we've got ten, I'll be ready to scramble in five. Any preliminary thoughts on the division of labor, Commander?"[/color] he eyed Sagan curiously, before his gaze darted between the two most common sources of communicational static for an instant with a raised brow.

There wasn't much guessing at his meaning. Between Sab's optical camoflauge suite and literally everything going on with Leah's Blackout, the frontrunners for conducting the actual infiltration seemed obvious. Rhino would necessarily mind the rear and provide fire support, Roy himself... was almost certain that whatever was harassing the 233rd would come screaming into power plant airspace to investigate once the grid was severed.

These all made sense to him. But they had their inherent points of friction, and beyond that, his nature was to shy away from the bigger picture that Kodos was obligated to consider. It was why Kilmer had so happily ducked promotion for this long, after all.
