While other pilots started to pour in. The briefing began.
The planet was called Vetov, located in the Lambda Miriandynus sector of the Centauri Star System. There were rumors that an IMC facility had started construction. It didn't seem too large, perhaps big enough to house off-shore supplies.
If the tip was right and they were able to uphold the mission. Destroying the facility. It might be enough to stumble back the IMC for a short amount of time. Giving the Militia a little heads up.
Briggs decided it was a good idea to set up Riley and his team to carry out this mission. Meaning that Jay would be accompanying them.
After the briefing, Riley sought out Briggs to talk to her about the mission. He found her talking with Barker. The woman noticed the lieutenant approaching, waving off the other man.
"What you need Riley?" She spoke.
"I believe Presley is unsuitable for this mission ma'am."
"And why's that?"
"His link with DW-3850 is far too weak," He starts. "They have been unable to keep things together over the last several training sessions."
"Well, lucky for you, we only need two Titan's on this mission," Briggs replies.
"And who will those be?"
"Sai-8711 and Mota-2144," Briggs said, and Riley wonders if he should hold his tongue. Wonders if he should pull her into the loop of what was happening.
"I don't think Mota will be suitable for this upcoming mission either." He doesn't have time to stop himself before the words come out. Briggs raising an eyebrow. "And might I ask why?"
You opened this can of worms Riley, you gotta deal with what you've unleashed.
"There was uh, an accident during this mornings training. causing significant damage to her arms and cockpit." And Briggs looks stumped for a moment, bringing a finger to rest under her lip in thought.
"I can see if I can bump her up to the top of the repair list, and she should be fine by then." Riley gives her a nod. He hopes that they'll be enough time before then to smooth out all the damages.
"Go round up your boys, We suit up at 0300 hours."
