"Let me brief everybody at once, just a moment..."
Amadou links to all team members' comms and patches the call to the room's main screen.
"Guys, here's the updated plan. If anyone has anything to say, please speak up.
The first phase will have us by the village on the VTOL. Before landing, we'll use the plane's sensor suite to scan the terrain and find both an appropriate landing zone and two or three evacuation routes to a secondary and tertiary LZs if everything goes really pear-shaped. This data will be fed to everyone's helmets - did you learn how to use overlays and windows?
Reseti will keep overwatch with his bird while we'll use the trike to go to the gates and run back if necessary.
The second phase is if the diplomacy fails: we'll extract back to the VTOL and redeploy out of sight, and wait until nightfall. I'm considering delaying our departure so we'll arrive for phase one in the middle or late afternoon, so we won't have to wait too long in the wilderness risking being found by a forester or a scouting patrol.
We close back on the village - the trike can take four passengers, maybe six if you cram and breathe one at a time. Sorry, that was a joke, but it'd be really tight.
Reseti says that he could carry Vhan, maybe Ratodx, but it might take two trips to assemble the team on the secondary LZ, which will also be our staging area.
Vhan and Ratodx are to wait until we're in position, I don't want them unassisted if the infiltration goes wrong. Reseti once again is to keep an eye on them, relay video of the enemy's movements, and help if needed, or maybe even take them out of there - but that will be for him to decide. Ideally we'd have the VTOL transmitting the data, but they haven't been ordered to help, so we can't count on it.
If the village surrenders, we wait there for the militia to find the vampire; otherwise we'll have to set up search parties to look for it on foot. Either way, we loot for knowledge and put it in the VTOL if it's around.
We'll go to the vampire by VTOL, but we need to see how that goes."
