Aurora held her Pad in front of her reviewing the information that Jake had supplied to them. It was a rather interesting Frame all in all. A universal generalist, that could readily and easily find and make use of anything acquired mid mission. It was a level of tactical flexibility that was a rarity to have.

[color=6ecff6][i]‘But they seem so exhausted. Looking for an end, rather than the future.’[/i][/color]

She kept an open ear to the rest of the team discussing what information they could about which frames they’d be up against in this training mission as she mulled over how to fit in Angel to their current plans. A few ideas had promise and she was just about to make a decision of which she liked more, when Shiva’s pilot spoke up.

And it took more than Aurora would like to admit to keep herself from rolling her eyes at Griff. She hadn’t had to deal with such hot-headed pilots in quite a while. Her and Sleepy were too often placed in squads and formations far away from them, purely due to operational differences. And her time away had not made the type any easier to deal with.

She left it to Horst’s pilot for a moment. As she considered this new variable. It wasn’t terribly difficult to come to a plan. After all Griff did have a point, this was only a mock mission. It wouldn’t be a bad time to try and impart a lesson onto Griff.

[color=6ecff6]“Gentlemen!”[/color] Aurora would state with authority as she sent both of them a hard look. [color=6ecff6]“While I agree that Cadet Burnhardt was out of line. Now is, unfortunately, not the time to hash out this problem.”[/color] She also had a feeling that this was part of Lorenzo’s plans, again. Internal strife and conflict. Why he wanted all of the pilots stressed she couldn’t say, but it was the start of a pattern if she was correct. [color=6ecff6]“Five minutes for us to finish the briefing and then we can deal with attitudes. Understood?”[/color] She would give the two of them another look, before refocusing on the data before her.

[color=6ecff6]“Of the other Frames we are to be facing that I know something about there is Argo, Guinevere and, AA-XOTRY also known as Atty.”[/color] She would begin afterwards. [color=6ecff6]“Argo and Atty are both designed for high-speed melee combat. Argo is going to be the more vicious of the frames, they are going to want to brawl. Meanwhile Atty is lean more towards hit and run tactics, he has little to no armor so a single hit is devastating if we can land it. Guinevere on the other hand suited towards a support role with repair drones and an electronic warfare suite. In addition, Guinevere also has an Ai Co-pilot by the designation Dancer.”[/color]

She would give spread her hands wide at the information before all of them. [color=6ecff6]“It’s clear that we have no end when it comes to priority targets. To this end I propose a slight revision to our plans.”[/color]

[color=6ecff6]“Shiva”[/color] She would point at Griff. [color=6ecff6]“You wish to dive in at start thrashing away. Feel free, but don’t expect much close-range support if you go too deep. Your targets are the Squid, Argo, and Argent. So long as you are focused on them you are free to adapt as you see fit.”[/color]

[color=6ecff6]“Horst”[/color] She would point at the Noble born pilot. [color=6ecff6]“Your roles haven’t changed. Mid-range and mobile support. You are sticking within our deployment to assist any of us that get caught out. Your targets are anyone who breaches into our line. You’re going to have second best idea of what’s going on. So, I want you to take command if I get incapacitated.”[/color]

[color=6ecff6]“Logic Diver”[/color] She would point at Elora. [color=6ecff6]“Support and harassment. I understand that your Analyzer is more effective at close range, but I would insist that you stick to medium range for this operation. Mango has several dedicated CQC frames. If you get caught out there is nothing we could do to assist before you went down. Targets are getting a lock on Cockroach and Guinevere. The sooner they are gone the better.”[/color]

[color=6ecff6]“Raptor and Angel”[/color] She would point to Jake and Mema-Ka. [color=6ecff6]“You two are our best skirmishers outside of Shiva. I want you two to help put the pressure on the front lines. Targets are any opportunity for dealing damage that crop up, otherwise Fire and Fade is what I want from you. If it comes to it Raptor is to fall back to assist in defense with Horst. While Angel if you can find a way to infiltrate feel free, but like with Shiva do not count on any support if you get too deep.”[/color]

[color=6ecff6]“Dragonfly”[/color] She would point at Rhylaen. [color=6ecff6]“Mid-range positioning, while you employ your own Electronic Warfare Suite. I expect you will be seen as a target of priority so keep on alert. Targets for you to prioritize are Atty, as if you can disrupt their system for a moment any of us should be able to take them down, and also being on the lookout for Cockroach.”[/color]

[color=6ecff6]“Sleepy and myself will also be keeping our original role.”[/color] She gestured at herself. [color=6ecff6]“Backline fire support. We are going to be a prime target, but if they tunnel on to us the rest of you can and should capitalize on it. Furthermore, any Marker Light targets are going to be followed up on with prejudice. Otherwise, I’ll keep hammering away at Goose and anyone else that steps out of position.”[/color]

[color=6ecff6]“Lastly, as Cadet Twilight mentioned we have zero intel of what we are going to be dropped in on. So be prepared for anything from a dust bowl to an active combat zone with a third faction. And don’t expect the Professor to allow things to maintain as a simple combat exercise, as Cadet Mema-Ka pointed out. So be prepared to adapt. Our enemies might turn into our allies out there after all.”[/color]

She would give everyone a few moments to digest everything she had laid out. In truth it wasn’t terribly different from what she had originally proposed. Just with added detail, and a broader understanding of what they were up against. Too rigid of a plan and it would collapse, as Griff was clearly attesting too. But not enough of a plan was just as detrimental.

[color=6ecff6]“If anyone has anything to add to the tactical discussion. Do so now. Otherwise, we should meet back up at T-Five at the VR stations. Until then, you are all dismissed.”[/color]

She took a moment to add a few notes, and set an alarm on her Pad. She had a few things she wanted to take care of before the Training Mission started, and at least one she didn’t want to forget about, but she had something else to handle before all that.

Standing up once she was done. She moved over towards Griff and the Noble. [color=6ecff6]“Do you two want to handle this with me as a mediator or should I go find the Lieutenant?”[/color] She would ask, her tone professional but clear that she wasn’t going to accept a third option.  [color=6ecff6]“I understand there is friction between you two. And for a valid reason. But I want this settled enough to not hinder any of us for the mission.”[/color]
