Genocide, whatever Elite henchmen he has, and his thugs are going to murder the hell out of any small group that tries to surprise him." What the hell is wrong with this kid? Was he born stupid, or did he get it beaten into him?"The correct tactical rule is to hit our enemies with overwhelming force, disabling our enemies as quickly as possible.  I'd be more worried about the pilot of the aerodyne than any ability to get back. We're in Italy, for Christ's sake. We can take a commercial flight. The plan for surprise would be take this puppy up several miles in the air, then drop down on Genocide as fast as possible. Afterwards, the Aerodyne flies off again as quickly as possible. It'd be out of range in just a few seconds, and I'd like to think our enemies will be a little more busy with us than shooting at some aircraft just for the hell of it.""That said, there are serious flaws to the Aerodyne plan. Which is why I say we go with the portal. It's short range, so there's less of a chance I'll screw it up. Worst case scenario, I create another one of those portals of death...in which case I just dismiss it instead of trying to go through. The surprise factor that we get will be more than worth the risk. Mark, Anika, what do you think?"</blockquote>
