Actually the question of landing the troops is one that the command staff along with all on board senior Infatntry officers is currently addressing.  Spit balls of launching exscape pods and life boats has been thrown around, but the most likely thing that is going to happen is they are going to duck tape (meterphor...maybe lol) anything that can go from zero G into atmo and fit as many people on it as possible, launch them and pray for the best.  While their will be other carriers in orbit, they will be busy landing their own troops and trying to stay alive.  Being that we aren't quiet done with that orc bio ship fleet lol<br/><br/>Truth is though I'll likely jump to where we have already landed (everyone can go over their own experience through flash back), and in your case Chrystal where Paige has already recieved her own brief, which she would of course get.  As would Sergeants as group, so Sarah would be in that one as well.<br/><br/>But no for those higher ups things are not going well.  And later in the RP your characters will be hearing of mass excutions of the people higher in the line.  As of now though, your characters will do as told and frankly not have to worry about the 'how' of things until they are on the ground and going into the shit.<br/><br/>Fleet and the Brass have it all under control...You may now weep and scream lol<br/><br/>And yes Chrystal, that is exactly what I meant with that line.
