Ranna Krannok<br/>Artos Training Facility/Harlech<br/>Debriefing room<br/><br/>(http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j77/wulfjaeger/279b6e5f-ef0f-4fa9-9a7d-d288709a4aea_zps14cbe92e.jpg)<br/><br/><hr/><br/>(http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j77/wulfjaeger/Effiquiy/Old%20Bones/ObjectiveOverview_zps6841fd80.jpg)<br/><br/><br/>Ranna watched as the new recruits piled into the briefing room, the objective map for her new scenario hanging on the holovid projector for everyone to examine while they wait for orders.  She watches the faces of the warriors before her as she considers her briefing.  They give the look of determination, but having been through this before she knows deep down they are frustrated and sullen.  The typical response from the first scenario as they tend to take the no win scenario personally.  She knows they will take things to the next level or they won't make the cut.<br/><br/>The soft look of Cass catches her slightly off guard.  The look so hidden she almost missed it had she not been looking.  She smiles with a bit of a nod of the head to acknowledge the look without showing too much.  She can't help her eyes as they slide across both Cass and Elizabeth's bodies.  She also realizes how hard it is for her to stop catching glimpses of Brooklyn.  She grins knowing that although he grits a lot on what they are doing, both of them are very much a like in many ways.<br/><br/>Once everyone is seated, she begins.  "Ok, I hope you all are rested because this next scenario is going to be the true test of your skills.  There are three main objectives; a research facility, a Mech Hangar and Barracks and a Dropship pad which has a secondary Mech Hangar and Barracks."  She walks around the holomap touching individual points of interest causing each to light up and raise off the map for a moment.<br/><br/>(http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j77/wulfjaeger/Effiquiy/Old%20Bones/ResearchandHeadquarters_zps004fa81c.jpg)<br/>(http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j77/wulfjaeger/Effiquiy/Old%20Bones/MechBarracks_zpsc528029c.jpg)<br/>(http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j77/wulfjaeger/Effiquiy/Old%20Bones/DropshipPad_zps2686edc0.jpg)<br/><br/><br/>"The key focus is capturing the research facility and the Mech hangar intact while putting the dropship port and secondary mech hangar out of commission to stop any reinforcements.  The early warning sensors have a range of 3 kilometers.  Their one weakness is that they have a very limited ability to look down into gullies.  There are Long Tom and LRM missile systems tied into the sensors.  There is a Defense Command and Communications node at the center of the base that ties all of the sensors and defensive systems together.  If destroyed the defensive systems go autonomous and defend inside their individual sensor range.  Taking a moment to let the information sink in Ranna took a drink of water and watched the faces of the mechwarriors.<br/><br/>"Alroy and Erich will break up the unit into two individual units minus Gregory, Sterner and Coyote.  I will take them for my Lance.  We will be making a high speed assault on the Dropship pad and provide high speed assault on emerging targets once we have blinded the base on the eastern edge.  Alroy and Erich will take what's left and assault the other primary objectives."<br/><br/>"There are three primary approaches that create blind spots for the early warning systems.<br/>One...(http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j77/wulfjaeger/Effiquiy/Old%20Bones/Route1_zps009388a0.jpg)<br/>Two...(http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j77/wulfjaeger/Effiquiy/Old%20Bones/Route2_zpsc960cbda.jpg)<br/>Three...(http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j77/wulfjaeger/Effiquiy/Old%20Bones/Route3_zpsc7c02038.jpg)<br/><br/>Expect that there are patrols of either vehicles or mechs in each of the main routes and on the perimeter of the base to augment holes in the defensive line.  Each team will be 'dropped' at their designated approach point and proceed with the planned assault.  So if anyone has any question or comments please bring them up now.  This is where we plan the mission.  Officers will direct movement but I want input from everyone on strategy, threats and courses of action.  With that Ranna looked back at Erich and Alroy before turning her attention back at the other mechwarriors.<br/>
