Your official designation is comany commander,but your orders can be overruled by colonel Archer, and to a lesser extent by Seereous' character. Basically that means the title is pretty much just fluff, but assuming that both the C.O. and X.O. were not involved in the battle, then that would leave you in command of the unit. One thing I will not is that the colonel tends to ask you for advice and let's you give most of the orders, unless the X.O. overides them. Colonel Angel isn't much of a strategist or very good at issuing orders, but he is excellent at leading by example and instilling bravery and loyalty. Does htat make sense to anyone else besides me? lol.<br/><br/><br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Yes, that makes sense. If you want me to be the senior NCO you coulda just said so, though. Warrant Officers are cool!<br/><br/>I think, for clarity, it should read with Col. Angel as the unit (unit referring the whole thing, dropship crews, support crews, everyone) and company CO (company referring to just the mech company both on and off the battlefield). Major Ryan as the XO, being unit XO he would see to the day to affairs of the whole unit, make sure everyone gets Col. Ryan's orders and carries them out. Major MacTaggart as the company 2IC, again company meaning strictly the mechs and the pilots, though by slight extension the mech technicians as well.<br/><br/>Kate isn't responsible for the day to day running of the unit, like making sure there's someone unplugging the clogged toilet (Michael gets that glorious duty all to himself as XO! Though at least, as XO, he can order someone else to do it. ;)). Kate, like I said above, would be the platoon sargeant, if we were talking 20th century infantry. Advising the Lt. and then making sure the troops carried out those orders. Sometimes, she'd give orders herself, but that'd come in a kind of Col. Angel says: "Kate, get me that bridge." and Kate says, "Yes, Ma'am!" and then starts barking orders and looming menacingly in her<em>Atlas</em>.<br/><br/>Does that make sense?  :D
