Damien also seemed to have her back on this point, which also seemed odd. It wasn’t that it was unwanted by any stretch, just not the outcome that she had expected.<em>I must be really out of it,</em>she chided herself.<br/><br/>“You both make good points,” Kari admitted. “And probably put more thought into it then I had. We’ll give them a shot then, and I’ll defer to your professional opinions. And if it helps ease the financial stress on the unit, then it’s definitely a plus.” She gave a small smile to both of them, a concession that their advice was definitely appreciated.<br/><br/>“Related to that, how are we looking on the Battle Armour troops? I can’t imagine there’s a short supply of soldiers, but getting together a coherent force of suits is another matter”<br/>
