Though I’d definitely appreciate your help with what we get.  That being said, if you do find somebody that you think would be useful to the unit, don’t hesitate to send them our way. You never know what you might find”</em><br/><br/>Allia smiled at the soft touch on her hand.  It'd been a few weeks since her breakdown in the showers with Kari.  She'd been so soft and gentle and there were things deep in Allia's soul that yearned to explore that tenderness even more.  She knew it could never happen, Kari was the commander now, and regardless of how she felt, Allia didn't get the feeling Kari felt the same.<br/><br/>"I'll do what I can, you know that.  I'd probably be better helping Emily train, but I know we're short on staff.  It's time to grow up and be a leader right?"  She said with a soft smile as Damian walked over to the tables.<br/><br/><em>"Commander Moreno, lieutenant Rowe, Is there something you need my help with?" </em><br/><br/>Allia laughed at the way he addressed them.  "Always so stiff."  She looked to Kari.  "He really needs to get laid or something.  You think we could find someone on Galatea who can pull that stick out of his ass?"  She smiled as she said it, making sure everyone in the group realized she was being jovial and friendly.  Surely she wouldn't give anything away regarding the new relationship they had between them.  She knew it was only sex, but it was something they shared that was just theirs, and the only way for ether of them to be able to completey be themselves without any walls or facades.  She knew neither of them cared about any of that, especially in the throws of their relative heat.<br/><br/>"We're talking about unit compositions.  We realize we won't be able to go back to the previous design.  Our size and relative vulnerabilities will make heavy combat ops difficult at best."  She sifted through the pages until she found the draft organization plan she had come up with.  "I was thinking a combined firesupport and command lance.  We can focus on heavies and firepower there."  Taking a sip of her coffee, she checked to watch the look on Damian's face.  She knew his grasp of their resource and monetary capabilities would drive a lot of this, so getting him to say this was a good plan was key to making it work.<br/><br/>"Considering the choices of warriors we're likely to get, We focus our recon force on high speed mechs and vehicles.  Speed and maneuverability will be our fortay since we can't waste the resources.  Then the key piece of our strike capability will be a Strike Lance based on stealth, speed and surprise."  Allia looked up at Kari before continuing.  "Kari thinks if we do a combined force of Mechs and battle armor, we can augment a Strike lance pretty well to dish out the bulk of the original strike then move back to support Command/Fires once the heavies make contact."<br/><br/>She looked up again at Damian.  "What do you think?"
