Andreev listened intently as both Major Davis and Major General Easton continued briefing them. Taking it all in, he began to have an uneasy feeling about the whole situation. Obviously, not everyone needed to be trained in military combat, but he would have felt even the slightest bit more comfortable if Lorelai and Jerimiah knew how to handle a weapon. In addition, he felt disappointed that he was here primarily for military muscle. He would, of course, be travelling across space on this mission. And, he would also prove very useful in the field should any vehicle or technology surface. But, as much as he was trained for this sort of thing back in the Russian AF, it was something that he had hoped was behind him. He enjoyed working independently as a consultant (sans combat) and was thrilled beyond measure at the opportunity to work in space. But this "job opportunity" was definitely not turning out to be what he originally thought.
When Major Davis finished speaking, Andreev found that he had no further questions, or at least, no questions specifically pertaining to the briefing. "Well, gentlemen, I believe I understand what you are asking of us and I am ready to begin preparing for our departure." He looked to Durant, looking for input. "If Commander Durant has no other inquiries, I am wondering, what are we to do next to begin mission prep?"
