On ANOTHER note, we might also wish to ponder the logistics of our task...  AKA, getting away with both the remains of the Imperial Guard unit as well as the gold.<br/><br/>How much does 500,000 thrones actually weigh?  Could it all be carried away by a single lighter?  Two?<br/><br/>Do the Imperial Guardsmen have working void suits?<br/><br/>Is there another, more distant airlock, "up" or "down" perhaps? That the Gun Cutter could reach for an alternate extraction point?<br/><br/>And is bringing reinforcements in shuttles actually wise when it takes an hour to unload three shuttles at the airlock we used?  IE... If it takes one hour to drop off reinforcements (and it took one hour to bring us...) doesn't doubling our forces double the time it takes for us to leave?<br/><br/>If we want to leave quickly, wouldn't it be wiser to have the shuttles that dropped us of ready to pick us up again, rather tha increasing the time it will already take to leave?<br/><br/>How long WILL it take to leave with just the forces we came with, for that matter?  Why does it take an hour to bring in three shuttles?  (and why three, and not four or two?). Was the issue really that we could only dock one shuttle every 20 minutes, or could we use three shuttles at once, but flying them through the superstructure of the station takes an hour, and only three could get into that superstructure at the same time?<br/><br/>It's actually kind of important to know these things, as if we don't plan this exit well, we could easily end up with a single shuttle worth of people trying to hold off an army (for twenty minutes or worse, an hour) while the rest of us escape...
