In the mess hall
The young lady looks up. She has quite short brunette hair that ends just around her chin, a bit of a serious look in her eyes though not much of an icy stare. She nods bidding you to sit down.
The man opposite her places his hands on his lap, laughing a little worriedly. He has short curly brownish hair that doesn't stray far from his head. He looks at the twins and says.
"Oh don't mind her, she's just being shy. Sit down, we could always use company. Times are not looking good, though a belly full of food always warms the heart."
It is hard to discern their height though they both look like they take meticulous care of their uniforms, if they were out in the field just now it looks like they might have changed just to look presentable.
At the Bridge
The commodore takes the device off of Ghost and plugs it into his reader. His gaze not betraying the harsh reality of the situation.
"Well with the repairs we shall depart in a 16 or so hours safely. We are at 85% capacity in regards to engineers and their supplies. A further 6% is scavenged parts from the recent battle, thus we at 91% which is good." Okado takes a deep breath in.
"In terms of military supplies, Quartermaster Hoffman says we have a total of 88% of our supply. A lot was expended by all members of Starseeker entering battle. Hopefully that number will decrease at a slower rate than the others, it is very hard to recuperate those loses. In terms of food supplies we are still at 99%, that will decrease very steadily as the missions was planned to last for at least 5 years. Saying that we don't want to lose it all needlessly through an enemy capturing it." Okado hands the reader to Naomi and nods, she walks off the bridge just leaving the two captains and Okado. He folds his arms behind his back and gives the two captains a stern look.
"Now, we have to make our way back to Earth or at least make contact with Earth so that they might send a rescue. I feel this will be an arduous journey. I will be honest, we likely do not have enough supplies to make it back to Earth in our current state. However, I can hazard a guess that we can kill two birds with one stone. We can hopefully perform the exploratory mission while making it back to Earth. As you know this ship is equipped to land on planets which we will use to our advantage. Your two squads are now inadvertently the best equipped for this mission with your enhanced MDAs. I am thus giving you both the authority to carry out planetside missions. These missions will need to carry out two objectives consistently. One, to bring back supplies or objects that we can use to maintain our supplies. Two, to bring back objects of study for this ships primary purpose." Okado pauses for a moment.
"There is of course exceptions to these objectives that will probably arise, though that is for you both to decide. Each mission will require you to expend some of our resources in weaponry and MDA capacity to send you planetside. Hopefully you will decide if the risk is worth the reward and actually bring back more supplies than you spent." He turns around to look at the ocean of stars that can be seen through the monitors on the Bridge.
"I am leaving these missions entirely up to you, I trust that you will both carry them out to the best of your abilities. From now on Echo and Sierra will act together as the planetside team. Use your squads strengths to compliment each other's weaknesses in the missions. I suggest you update your squads on your new task. Be ready for when Navigator Schafer has some potential targets for your two squads. Though your squads have earned some rest, take some time to recollect your thoughts. If you have any further questions you may direct them at Miss Lataille. Dismissed."

Check the group in the next few days, I will be posting a thread with the supply charts. Though the general gist is each mission you carry out will cost EP, at the minute there is 4000EP to spend. Each time you go out on a mission I will total up your EP expenditure and reduce your remaining supplies accordingly. Each time people on the ship including yourselves is injured you will be spending some of the medical supplies. If the ship itself is damaged or any of the vehicles need repairs the engineers will use up engineering supplies. You will hopefully replenish this as time goes on but who knows...?
Certain NPCs will grant you special abilities that can be used in space or during missions that affect the supplies. The two that you have found that will have abilities that will help you from the start are Sarah and Fedor. More details to follow.
Also to clarify for the squads, you still act independently of one another though you now be deployed on missions together. Think of it like the first fight though you might be investigating different points in a cavern or carrying out different objectives due to the skills offered by each squad. Basically you are a tiny platoon made of two squads.
