Leo stops for a moment and thinks.
"I dunno Gorat. It's like this, we're either winning or we're losing. If we're winning, the teams up front might end up doing all the killing, in which case it doesn't matter what we do. They might also try to block our guys from getting back to the ship, though, or blow up the ship or something. If that happens, we're in a good spot to flank any dudes in the chokepoint, and get behind any sniper that's above us in the building, even if they put some dudes in the chokepoint below us. I don't think they'll have enough guys to occupy the entire building.
If we're losing, this spot is a very good spot to shoot anyone running towards the ship in the back, which makes this a very good spot to hold and could end up saving lives. I'd expect that at least some of us would find their way back to the ship.. If we're losing, we need to make sure we have both a clear route to the stairs, and another route of retreat, such as jumping out the window and onto the gantry, or a hole dug into the floor, so we can choose to run or fight, whichever is appropriate.
So nah, I don't think we need to do anything fancy, just check these surrounding rooms to make sure there's no UWM spooks in here with us, and any civvies are parked safely in one group to make it harder for any brain-bending. After that, we need to make sure we have a clear route to the stairs, and a good option in case we have to bug out. If we hide the drone and use it as a camera, we should be able to suprise anyone coming to clear out this level, and make the right decision to fight or flee."
So plan is, as I see it..
1. Stay together at all times.
2. Check surrounding rooms for civilians/sods, whatever. If any civvies are found, spycheck them, and gather them together by saying that because of this weird shit going down, and because the communications are down, and because there's some crazy UWM black ops bullshit happening, we're just going to secure the floor and cover each others asses, so we can be sure that we're all still alive when the charlie foxtrot is over.
3. Clear a route to the stairs and find if there's any elevators, so we can move fast if the sniper shows up in one of the rooms up here, and we can use the stairway to flank any sods on the ground floor.
4. Find/make another route of escape, in case we have to bug out, such as a hole in the floor or the window over the gangway so we can just get out by jumping.
