The Ops Base is fine, but I'd think a separate recon operation ahead of the main landing is worthwhile, if there is a relevant place to deploy it. If not, then the the whole company can land together.

Also, since Klaus' force is billeted aboard Deliverance, will she be escorting the transport to Tarsus?

PS I believe Jess owes Klaus an IC response re his donation of a "racy publication" (you may already have it scheduled for le weekend).
Me?????????

What did I do?

It was all perfectly innocent although I'm sure the lads would love to get hold of some.

By biggest concern for sending a group through the spaceport is that a simple facial recognition will pick you up.

If susag is embedded then I can't see they won't have put some checks like this into the spaceports systems.

That's why everyone keeping out of site on the ship sits better for me.

Also, if we bring the Deliverance, isn't it likely to be recognised by someone. Unless we hide it in the system somewhere.

They have only rudimentary satellite coverage. Take those out and no one will recognise anything. However, we'd need to take those out in a way that they don't recognise as them being taken out. Sounds like a "boarding" action (depends on size as whether anyone boards) and electronics substitution/re-programming might help.

Alas, my puerile mind got carried away (again) when Klaus handed Jess a "special magazine" in the IC thread... :roll: :oops:

Tarsus has such "open borders" that your mercantile cover story will suffice to get you into the planetary orbit and then since you are aboard the big trader you can just disembark at the farm.

This is common Tarsan practice both for ships delivering goods or seasonal workers to farmsteads and/or directly picking up processed meat from the Nob herds.

You don't even have to go to the starport (where you are aware that there is a SuSAG presence - a base with small craft.

Deliverance has the sensor (and visual) profile of a warship which is difficult to disguise so will "show out" and be identified in close orbit or atmosphere.

Everyone will be extra jumpy due to the recent pirate activity.

Deliverance could "jump short" and wait outsystem for a call if you don't want to expose her. However, this strands any troops who are aboard in deep space.

In which case I think the best option is for everyone to go on the trader.

This includes Klaus and his new team, all but one (incl. Klaus) have recon which will an advantage on this mission. In some ways having them with us on their first mission will help with their integration into the company.

Deliverance needn't have troops aboard - It could just act as backup incase we need to pull out ASAP. It'd be good to be running TO something rather than just away.

I note Klaus' Command has 8 recruits. Regrettably, we have only budgeted for 5 sets of SEMC standard CA for this unit.

We have the extra MCr1.05 (leaving KCr620). Shall we spend it? (I vote yes)

Not a problem to me if we cut it back to 5.

I saw the budget said 5 and generated them, then I got the stats for 3 others who were from the initial attempt when Klaus arrived but was interrupted by multiple assassins and Aslan dignitaries.

Majority vote for full-size Marine squad. 1 abstention (absent on holiday). Passed. :D

Are we taking taking Jess' collection of ground vehicles? They could prove useful (the armoured SUV, dune-buggy and 'bike especially. The muscle car is probably a bit "stand-out", but a chance to blat about on empty roads isn't to be missed).

I think we have space for everything.

I don't think we can to a decision on taking the 2nd LTs and if we did what deal we'll do with 4DC.

Yes you can fit everything in.

Yes the purchase of commissions issue is outstanding (if you want to go ahead with that).

I'm not sure if I want the complication of two random-elements on what Frank considers a rather sensitive mission.

Then consider them denied! :)

Or maybe deferred! ;)

Well, that's an interesting idea, if we could delay without insulting then that might be a good option.

Are we leaving token garrison force at base?

Could they perhaps be undergoing unit induction with them while we are on a short deployment?

Yes - you have the training platoon, two NPCs Jakob and Liv, some Aslan housekeeping staff that Yugure offered and a promise of cover/QRF from 4DC.

They seem good with the deferment.
