Darion couldn’t resist the light grin that came to his face at Kes’s words when she entered the room for the briefing.  That tone gave him the feeling they weren’t done with each other quite yet.  Maybe that would make a good celebration party for the way back after this mission was successful.  Of course then came the look on Neymi’s face toward the other Goz, and her words.  It just made him sigh, having no idea how he would deal with that damn ‘dominance bullshit’.  He didn’t even hide his thoughts on her dominance thing.<br/><br/>But when the message and the picture came over his computer, he looked over it, and keeping his face strait and kept it from displaying anywhere.  He typed back a message of his own.<i>‘She has hair that works for that, though I may think about it if you have one for yourself as well.  If there are any left over after you are done with your machine pet Toi.’</i>His face stayed strait as he replied to her with the message and spoke.<span style="color: seagreen">“We have yet to really act all that professional yet.”</span><br/><br/>After that he ignored the sexual tones, glad he had spent the time with Kimmi and kes, making it easy to ignore after that.  Instead he focused on the screen, and the areas that were highlighted.  He wasn’t hiding his thoughts as he modified the plans he had come up with, again crossing some out.<span style="color: seagreen">“Toi, I want you, ciel and kimmi to go EVA after we dock, out the airlock opposite of the one connecting to the ship.  Stay away from any view ports and make your way to one of these hull breaches, crawl along the hull if you have to.  These two are the best options.”</span>He said as he pointed to two of the red highlighted areas, the two closest to the indicated cargo bay.<br/><br/><span style="color: seagreen">“This one would be preferable, but I don’t see an airlock for it…”</span>the closest to the cargo bay, but furthest from their docking point.<span style="color: seagreen">“But aim for this one, it has an airlock for you to access the rest of the ship.  Aim for stealth once you are inside, it is closer to engineering.  I want you all to enter after the other half of the plan.  Find the queen, toi, check her vitals, and see if she can be taken out the way you went in.  If not, head straight back here as fast as you can.  Ciel is in charge of that group.  Stealth is your focus.”</span><br/><br/>As he finished that, he looked at the rest of the people not named.<span style="color: seagreen">“The rest of us, the plan is to make it so they can move stealth fully, by making a lot of noise.  Dock the ship on the opposite side as the other team will be entering, in...  this area”</span>that he said after a moment at looking at the highlighted yellow areas.<span style="color: seagreen">“As the AI said, they will likely see us coming.  We are the distraction, me and Kes with our armor, and you Neymi for those droids, and if you have any skill with making some explosions.  We want the Kryslin to think we are unorganized, crazy mercs, and focus on us while Ciel’s team gets the queen.  Make it look like we are heading to the bridge to take the ship.”</span><br/><br/>As Darion ran the numbers through his head, he thought this plan was the one with the best chance of success, if not survival.  He wished he knew more about their skills on a mission than the basics of what they had said at the mission breifing.  The slimes messed up the guaranteed survival of all his good plans.  But the ringing thought through his head was<i><span style="color: seagreen">‘No plan survives contact with the enemy.’</span></i>He was expecting the enemies to be smarter than him and his plans.<span style="color: seagreen">“I had the Boss Zax load some crates of ammo into the main bay before we left.  There should be some incendiary clips among them.  Everyone take some to deal with the slimes.  I’ll let you decide which weapons you would best have them in…  AI, what are your estimations of the chance of success with your scans?”</span>he asked since he hadn’t last night when he had thought of this.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
