Five new skill sets. Five new personalities and with no real motivation other than money.  Sure; a few of them might be convinced that they are doing something that matters; something that will make a difference but looking over the profiles of the people in the room that were seated in the room with him; it looked like money was going to be the single biggest motivator in this group.<br/><br/><em>I need to remember that while some of them are military; we are not in the military.  There is no chain of command and no reason for them to do what I say...great.</em><br/><br/>David had never lead an operation before.  There had been times when his intel was the primary and many times he had weighed in on decisions but to lead?  A muscle in his jaw twitched a moment as he pressed his teeth together.  His eyes narrowing slightly as he looked over the profiles included on the phone he had just received.  With one hand he reached under the opposite sleeve of his suit jacket.  Revealing a watch and taking a moment to check the time; then setting a timer for eleven and one-quarter hours.<br/><br/>"Right..." , he had already stood and for a moment he wondered if it might be perceived that he was "trying too hard" but standing and speaking in a situation such as this was reflex for him.  He gave the people present a small, emotion-free smile.  "I'm Oestreicher.  Oestreicher, David, Dave...anything is fine.  If you have concerns about...anything; please let me know. It seems we have been given a small window to prepare.  I'll get right into it and if you feel that you have a skill set that is under-utilized that could help with the op. please let me know."<br/><br/>He pivoted some...moving with a slow, steady pace across the room as he continued to speak.  His brow furrowed as he looked to the information on the phone that had been provided for him. "Once again people, we are on a very tight timeline...it looks as though we have three targets.  Going forward the three will be referred to as follows. Alpha; one Francis Cameron.  Bravo; the research data that will be found at the hotel.  Charlie; any and all occurrences of the research data that is not at the hotel." , his attention turned to the attractive, dark-skinned women that was the last to arrive.<br/><br/>"Miss Quinn.  We need schematics of the hotel, particularly the floor where Alpha is located.  I'm hoping with your knowledge; you can acquire that?  Also...please excuse my ignorance on this; but we will need your expertise to secure the Bravo as well as Charlie targets.  I can't help but think Charlie in particular won't be easy...but I suppose that's why you're here."  He gave her a small, but what he hoped was an encouraging smile before continuing to pace, turning smoothly and heading back in the other direction as his mind churned over the details.<br/><br/>"Detective Temple; your knowledge of New York will be of use.  We need a plan for exfil; as well as idea as to how long we have before law enforcement arrives if things go pear-shaped.  You'll be our eyes and ears at the hotel."  He paused a moment, giving the woman a quick nod of acknowledgement before turning to the man that had taken the time to find himself some food.  "Mr. Valdez...we will need a primary and secondary plan for the elimination of Alpha.  So you know you have options, I can assist with controlled explosives if you feel that is a better option and you can provide coverage via overwatch but your thoughts on this will be of value."  The information he had seen on Mr. Valdez was a concern but he wouldn't demean the man by reminding him of the need for zero collateral damage in the way of innocents.<br/><br/>"Miss Rose; while difficult...any and all information you can find about this weaponized virus might be of use.  It's doubtful that he would have already synthesized such a thing but if he had and if it's present at the site; we might need to know of a way to quarantine and neutralize."<br/><br/>He exhaled slowly and turned to look at the woman that had introduced herself as "Kane."<br/><br/>"Miss Kane; I will need your help with procurement.  People; whatever you might need that is not provided here; by all means let Miss Kane and I know and we will do our best to acquire it.  We are short on time so please make your requests reasonable and possible."  He looked over his shoulder at the screen where they had just received their first mission.  He then took a moment to look around the room.  He didn't see any cameras or microphones but that didn't mean they weren't there.  "Also Miss Kane; if you have the time; find as much as you can about this Odyssey Initiative.  Miss Quinn might be able to assist you and possibly the others.  I don't like secrets..."<br/><br/>He looked to the phone he held before placing it face down on the table.  "So we will need comms but aside from that; what do you people need and what are your concerns?  Please feel free to assist one another with what I have suggested if you think it will help with getting it done quickly."<br/><br/><br/><br/>
