Had planned a briefing for Wednesday night, but since all the Seekers showed up in chat tonight, decided to have it then. Here is the transcript:

• Me

  Ok, lets start it up.

• Seekers, take your seats please

• This is a mission briefing for our pre op training exercise before OP QG

• 11:43 PM
• Me

  Since we're doing this briefing on the spur of the moment, exact resource allocations may not match actual mission parameters

• 11:45 PM
• Me

  In a nutshell, we have been ordered to escort a Marine strike force to secret cylon base on QG

• The Raven will be sending 8-10 Raptors

• Ens. David "Wedge" Sangrey

  Sir, is it known if Tririme will send any raptors?

• Me

  I will have to coordinate with the CAG on that

• 11:47 PM
• Me

  They may have Raptors in the air, but we are most likely dedicated to supporting our Marine force

• 11:48 PM
• Me

  We will have 4 transport raptors, also 2 in reserve in case of emergency

• 2 assault manned by Freya and D-Tap

• My command raptor and Wedge with me in an assault

• Questions so far?

• Ens. David "Wedge" Sangrey

  not from me, sir

• Ens. David "D-Tap" Pearson

  Any armorment details sir

• Ens. Leslie "Freya" Willis

  for our assault raptors we will be transporting a few of the marines is that correct? or will that be handled strictly by the transport raptors?

• Me

  Standard assault package for close air support, no special package

• Ens. David "D-Tap" Pearson

  aye

• Me

  Aside from the transports, we may each be carrying a few marines, so it may necessitate we all offload

• Ens. Leslie "Freya" Willis

  copy that sir

• Ens. David "Wedge" Sangrey

  standard electronics warfare package?

• 11:55 PM
• Me

  Correct...make sure all comm drones are in top working order. If something happens and our communications go down, I dont want to be left out in the cold

• 11:57 PM
• Me

  Once we offload, Wedge and I will take a position of altitude for aerial surveillance

• 11:58 PM
• Me

  Freya, D-Tap...you will take flanking positions to the advancing Marines to clear their path to target

• Yesterday
• Me

  Once they arrive, you are free at your discretion to take out any gun implacements or missile batteries

• Ens. David "D-Tap" Pearson

  whoo....looks like its the meat grinder for us Freya

• Ens. Leslie "Freya" Willis

  I love the grind :)

• Ens. David "Wedge" Sangrey

  weapons free is the best sometimes

• Me

  That's my Raptor Wranglers...always looking for new ways to die

• (Had to get that Helo quote in there sometime!)

• Ens. David "Wedge" Sangrey

  Aye, Sir! If there's no danger there's no fun!

• 0:02 AM
• Me

  Pretty straight forward after the Marines exit....escort to the rendezvous site, cover Marines as they board transports, get the heck out and hope we have everybody we came with.

• 0:05 AM
• Ens. David "Wedge" Sangrey

  and if some basestars show us a visit?

• Ens. David "D-Tap" Pearson

  YEAH lets kick some toaster ass

• Me

  4 transports book it back to the barn...we turn in and kick it

• With what remeaining ordinance we have.

• Ens. David "Wedge" Sangrey

  OOHRAH

• Ens. Leslie "Freya" Willis

  After wedges recon, do we know how many buildings adhere will be and where the drop off and pick up points are yet?

• Me

  But hey, it's all mostly ad lib so this is just a outline of what to do

• Wedge?

• Ens. David "Wedge" Sangrey

  locale of exvil unknown, looks like one structure above ground, and a large subterrainian force

• Me

  You wanna take that?

• Ens. David "Wedge" Sangrey

  you're gonna want to ask the chief for bunker busters if we take that on

• the one tower is lightly armored, but one missile or a gun burst should take care of that

• Me

  Good deal

• 0:10 AM
• Me

  Remember, it's all about having fun!

• Ens. David "Wedge" Sangrey

  MARDET will determine the best points for insertion

• 0:12 AM
