Leah had been overruled. She wasn't surprised in any way by that. She knew where her team stood with their auxiliary tasks. Hearing the commander's response to Leah's points got a shrug out of her as she continued eating her dish at the back. [color=blueviolet][b]"You the boss, boss."[/b][/color] she said with a stuffed mouth.

When she heard Sabine's comment about Leah's suggestion, citing her complexion, Leah grinned back at her, [color=blueviolet][b]"A little bit of mud and dirt in your pores would actually work wonders on that face of yours."[/b][/color] Leah winked before turning her eyes back to the rest of the group.

[color=blueviolet][b]"Well, if we aren't going after project Forge, then I'm gonna show my bias and put my hat in for the blackout misison for... Obvious reasons."[/b][/color] It was quite the shift from the strategic assessment of their second option to committing to killing the power grid for a bit of irony. It wasn't all jokes though. She did see the strategic merit to hitting the grid.

[color=blueviolet][b]"Let's look at it like this. Suppressing air defenses will improve our chances of success in one local area on a planetwide operation. Granted, the UEE's goals are focused on Gelcastre, but we can't hold this world if we aren't able to take the rest of Skosgra. The AA problem is small scale in the grander scheme. If we cut the power grid, we could be aid several fronts in the region. We stand to gain more momentum as a unified fighting force if we pull the plug on the coallies."[/b][/color]

Leah pointed her fork at the holotable, [color=blueviolet][b]"Let's go with three."[/b][/color]
