Fanya held up a purple hand to ask for a moment to go through the questions posed.<br/><br/>"<span style="color: purple">Yes, Emma, I trust them, but more important, we really don't know if what happened to the Powder Gangers has anything to do with you or even had any negative side-effects for you. So, while I do trust them to do what they are set out to do, even if I didn't trust them, the alternative would be to send, who? Maybe you? Because you care about the data? Right into the hands of the people that would most likely want to do you harm because of the knowledge you hold that you want to hand hold yourself, right? So you see, we quickly eliminate down to a few options about how to handle this. Not only is it a matter of trust but it's also the safest bet. Not only for yourself but for Tony and Markus as I am sure they want to minimize the danger to themselves as well. These two also know you the least, or have the least knowledge of you out of this group, hence, they are the 'best' choice even if all things go south. Make sense?</span>" Fanya then turned to Markus.<br/><br/>"<span style="color: purple">D will be transporting you there and then, in NCR disguises and fake ID you will be part of a courier ferry sent from the NCR unit here in New Vegas. You will be carrying an item of interest to the NCR, something that I have had for a while now and know that it no longer has any value.</span>"  She removed an old style audio tape from her desk. "<span style="color: purple">This contains a recording of the last communication between an individual known as<i> "the courier" and Mr. House of New Vegas</i>.  Bringing it in and handing off the item will help solidify their trust in you. I will also have information plants here in New Vegas with the NCR outpost here confirming your ID and mission with any NCR inquiries that follow. I recommend <i>not</i> listening to the recording, just for your own safety with the NCR. It will also give you enough time to make contact with an NCR insider that is working for me by the name of Ambassador Dennis Crocker.</span>" She smiled wryly.<br/><br/>"<span style="color: purple">One you made contact with Ambassador Crocker, he will help you get sent to the Powder Gangers facility where you should be able to determine on your own just what happened there. The rest, you will have to adlib. D will have the chopper hidden away in an off-site location and ready to go when your job is done.</span>"<br/><br/>Fanya then turned to the Doctor.<br/><br/>"<span style="color: purple">Well, it's still early enough, we can probably walk in before the shop even really opens assuming all the sophisticated security and electronics are actually down below the workshop in any case. K here... </span>" Fanya nodded to the Chinese looking woman-soldier who was standing next to D, "<span style="color: purple">.... will be bring in a fire team who's soul job is to protect those of special skill, namely all of us. They will form a security circle around us at all times. I would like to suggest that Duos and Darion act as forward scouts for us both in our trip through the work shop but as well once we get inside the underground experimental facility itself.</span>" She turned back to Sue behind her desk, not really having a good view of her but knowing approximately where she should be last time her 'ears' checked.<br/><br/>"<span style="color: purple">Sue, you might be needed at the tip of the security circle, keeping us informed of what we may face down in the facility, though I assume you can keep up and scout ahead with Duos and Darion when needed. Also, between the three of you, I imagine you can arrange some rear guard checks for us once we get deep enough?</span>" She looked at Sue (or approximately at her), Darion and Duos.<br/><br/><span style="color: purple">"Simon, you will be pulling double duty as chief scientist and medic, unfortunately. Rebecca, mechanical expert and breaking and entering as needed. Don't worry, if you can't break into it, we are going to give Emma enough of what she needs to blow us through any door or security system. Loretta, as I mentioned before, as you so demonstrated earlier, moral compass and yes, we will listen to you as much as we can without risking others lives in the process.</span>"<br/><br/>"<span style="color: purple">Am I losing anyone yet?</span>"<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
