Mathis took a moment to think before replying to his XO and raised his eyebrow, seeing how Vance himself volunteered to go on the ship. "I agree with your plan, and Leino." He turned his head towards the signal officer. "Inform them that they are going on a trip."  

"Roger, Captain," was all she said as she started messaging the crew that Vance had recommended to explore the wreck. 

It was a solid plan, in Mathis's mind at least. Of course, sending marines to protect the team was a no-brainer, but Vance volunteering to lead a team was bold of him. Even though Vance was competent with military matters, as his records show. It seems a bit brave of him to go on the first mission of the Pathfinders operation. But then again, with travelling in deep space and exploring the unknown. You have to be at least a bit brave to go on a trek like this. Which Mathis felt a bit impressed by Vance's actions. Hopefully, Vance continues to impress him during this endeavor.             

Mathis looked at the hologram of the wreck. Almost studying it and looking back at Vance. "Just one thing," his tone turned into a serious and cautious one. "Be careful when on that ship, we do not know what is on it or what this energy source is. Not to mention what other surprises this system has for us." Mathis took a deep breath and looked at Vance directly in his eyes. "I do not want to lose anyone, and we have just started, so again, be careful and try not to take any unnecessary risks while aboard that ship."

Hopefully, Vance will listen and heed his words. There is no room for reckless actions, and now that they are in the unknown and dealing with a wrecked ship, who knows what lies inside other than this energy source? So Mathis prefers the safe approach while he is captain of the Arcadian, hoping that Vance feels the same way.
