As well as we carry out the latter part of your statement I believe this meeting was called to discuss which planet to explore and supposedly extract resources from. But I for one have no idea what is on these planets, but I'm guessing someone here has the intel.
 

"Since it was my squad-mate here that called us to a meeting I'm guessing it's him that has the information."Aleksandra still jabbing Tsuba in the ribs. "Though I must say I had no idea he was a narcoleptic." She ceased her jabbing and stood over to one side to address the assembled personnel.

"Well as it would seem that the primary speaker is unconscious I will start this meeting with a secondary point. Namely I would like to discuss peoples thoughts and feelings regarding the large paksis capable robot that Echo Captain fused with and what we should do about it. I will also say that after this meeting I plan to go to engineering to develop a way to track this and similar robots via their paksis signature. Also do these things have actual designations yet?" she continued to stand at attention, waiting for the discussion to take place.
 

I suppose we can discuss this until Mr Tsuba regains consciousness. I can clearly see the advantage in being able track paksis if other entities are using it. As for their exact nature... ​ Arthur leant back in his and chair placed his feet on the table before shrugging with a tired smile I don't know, they seemed to help us take from that what you will. It may simply be the enemy of my enemy is my friend or they prefer us to those robots. Either way they would make a powerful ally or enemy, in regard to the latter a way to combat paksis may be beneficial.
 


Aleksandra nodded "Indeed you are right I'll look into combating paksis as well, we could also come up with some kind of initiative together. So hunters is it, I can get behind that and their apparent hatred of these scavenger toasters would hopefully put us on some common ground."
 

"they helped us out once, but whose to say they won't just turn on us when they feel like it,ey? We all know only too well that war alliances rarely last, and it does seem like these scavengers and hunters are warring. I'd like to believe they're 'friends' but I'm not so sure. Then again,we're not in any position not to accept help where its offered..." He figured if he was being held captive in this meeting, he might as well get stuck in.
 

After the remaining members of Sierra arrive Ghost starts the meeting by informing Sierra about the proposed decisions thus far and lists of the key points of the meeting with Okado.

OOC: Just bringing it back up as it seems people may have missed this. The meeting will have started and all that was said between Okado and us will have been mentioned, I just didn't want to repeat what has already been put up. Not sure how to use quotes but it was the first post I put up with regards to the meeting ^^


Unless anyone takes exception to sending out the scout droids then that will be our course of action. The paksis would be worth investigating and whilst the droids head out to gather more intel we could look into the paksis of these machines. Once the recon returns we'll be in a better position to make our move.
 

I can't see why anyone would oppose the scout droids, so I guess dispatching them would be sensible.
Arthur stretched and made himself comfortable Hmmm..I wonder if he... ​he checked his communicator before cracking a smile
​Heh, well then it appears he at least sent us the gist of what he found. Apparently there are three viable planets to explore; One that's mostly Ice and water, one that resembles a Triassic era Pangaea and a planet that has radio waves emanating from it.
So whilst we wait for the droids which one sounds most useful?

OOC: Just to get this discussion rolling, the planets full details are on page 44
 

After a short pause whilst thinking about the options...

My vote would be for the pangaea, it's closest to our own planet or at least it's suggested meaning is, the terrain will be familiar to an extent. I understand there will be dangerous life-forms on the planet but if they are similar in nature to the dinosaurs of old then they'll lack any high level of intelligence, with only a few exceptions, meaning it'll be easy to avoid or lose them if necessary. Not to mention if they are like the dinosaurs of old their main attack means will be pack hunting with claws and teeth. With the ranged fire power we have at our disposal we have the advantage. I know there will likely be flying creatures too but hopefully a thick canopy will provide adequate cover. Our biggest problem would be the fauna seeing as we have no idea what ancient plants may remain here. The ice planet sounds like it may have resources but will likely be hidden underground meaning a mining operation to get to them not to mention having to combat hypothermia and pneumonia, hidden crevasses in the ice fields, strange oceanic currents that could easily sweep away masses if the weather turns. The radio waves to me presents the greatest threat, and it's probably best not to poke a sleeping giant if we can help it.
