Robert listened to everyones opinions as he thought about them. One from Ivan caught his ear. 'There was failure at the level of star command - Captain Erich mentioned that recon engaged, instead of pulling back, when they encountered the vehicle stars....' Robert shook his head as he pulled up ROM data and waited to play it at the right time with the officers. When Walter told the recruits to step out so the officers could talk, Robert moved the ROM data on the table but waited as the others began talking. When they were done and the comment from Ailis was...acknowledged, Robert said" Ivan did have a point recon shouldnt of engaged and should have retreated. Here is a recording from the com traffic between me and Ailis that should have been heeded."<br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=190867.msg9305784#msg9305784">Quote from: PaladinZenaku on 09-12-2013, 03:44:31</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">"Ailis, Elizabeth you are to recon ahead of heavy lance but if you engage enemy contacts report their position to heavy lance and evac when it gets hot. Gregory, You and me will follow suit and provide fire support so they can get out of dodge fast. Alright Recon Move out."</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Robert then added"My plan wasnt to override Ailis's rank. I was going to support the lights so they can get away from the hostiles without engaging. Me and Gregory would then fall back with Ailis and liz behind the heavy lance. And another thing is I attached myself to recon due to the lance wasnt able to defend itself against a large force without help. A marauder is the best choice out of the remaining mechs due to its design of being able to out range everything and still be able to shot pointblank with the same weapons. I might did overstep my rank but I didnt mean to upset Ailis. I will say that it wont happen again, sorry. I have nothing more to say sir."
