"HEY RAPH! CYRUS! I'MMA NEED A FEW MORE OF YOUR GUYS!" Uso called out.
The catgirl was wearing more armor than usually... instead of her bodysuit she was wearing one of hte jet-black armors that S6 had started producing... which was certainly a large jump in the amount of protective clothing she usually wore. She was armored all the way up to her neck, with the helmet piece clipped to the waist of the suit. She had been 'borrowing' a few of the Fyrst Company soldiers over the last month for operations on Xuno...but now it seemed she was ready to bring Ragnarok in more fully.
Cyrus strode from his place on the flight deck and walked over to Uso. Following close behind him was Raphael, who had seemed to look a bit older. A five o'clock shadow framing his face. "You rang?" Cyrus asked as the Fyrst Company's soldiers suited up and readied themselves for the drop.
Raph moved to stand next to Cyrus and gave a slight smile. "Long time no see, Uso."
"Likewise... you guys are so busy you never call. All this actual work means you don't have time for the fun stuff...
... which... I mean, I guess this is ALSO work but like... less work than real work. Really more like training... practice so we can get a little more experience under the Ragna-belt regarding normal operations. You guys already read up on the task? Xuno's a low-tech world... they got firearms and tanks and stuff but nothing on our level for the most part. Seems they have a few instances of higher tech level gear but nothing that should turn the war in their favor.
The URR has decided they don't want to bend the knee, so this operation will be built around routing their ground forces. Make it clear that they don't have the capability to hold out and bring their leaders to the table.
That also means showing them that we can walk across their most heavily defended no-mans-land with impunity. Ancient guns, land-mines, trenches, and machine-guns shouldn't pose too much of a threat unless we get careless." Uso explained.
Cyrus nodded. "Yeah, we read up on Xuno. Seems like it shouldn't be all that to impress the yokles." He said, looking back over his soldiers. "We have chosen to preform a combat drop directly into the middle of their no mans land. If they see us dropping from the skies and landing in the middle of their kill box and walking out, they might just shit their paints and let us walk right in." Cyrus said over his shoulder, which was met with cheers from his personal company.
"If that's how you want to play it. We don't really have any reason to hold back on this one and you've got permission to handle your AO how you see fit. We'll be destroying a lot of their support assets from orbit at the outset... and I was thinking of making the skys turn red just for funzies... we've got those huge projector-ships... we could literally put anything we want in their sky." Uso offered.
At that point, the Captain of the Fenrir, Ulysses Werner appeared. "If that's the case, then why dont we take the ship into the atmosphere and rain down an unholy hell fire upon them? It'll soften up the AO for the advancing troops. I can also drop the Fyrst along the edges of the Xuno's front line. Help clear our the frist line's weapons." The captain added.
"I like it Captain." Replied Cyrus.
"Your thoughts Uso?" Asked Raph.
Uso nodded, "That's closer ship-support than normal... but that seems warranted in this situation.
Section 6 will be making a tank push nearby... similarly Vier's drones will be spread throughout the battle-space to provide support. You can leave mop-up operations to her. Similarly she'll also be using her robot-overlord-ness to handle the bulk of the force protection operations against enemy long range artillery but that doesn't mean you guys should be slacking off either. The Fenrir should be more than enough to block anything fired at long range though...
Shuttles will be on standby for evacuation if anyone of ours gets injured...
Similarly, do you guys have a plan for sustainment operations if this drags on for more than a day?"
Ulysses nodded before the other two could reply. "I have shuttles and drop pods ready to land supplies once the Fyrst clear a drop zone. But I doubt that it will take us long to clear our zone." He replied nonchalantly.
"Man... we really need a checklist for this stuff...Our estimated plan of enemy action is probably crap so I wouldn't even bother reading it. We don't really know how these guys are going to react and so far everyone on this planet has been reacting unpredictably... but they are a professional army so expect them to put up some kinda fight.
Similarly, expect lots of land mines.... have the Fenrir sweep the landing areas prior to touchdown...
what else...." Uso thought outloud, tapping her chin with a single finger, "... Low casualties would be nice, but don't endanger yourselves... and absolutely fuck-up any material you find. We don't need their guns or tanks going forward... any questions so far?"
Cyrus shook his head. "Don't destroy the locals, destroy their shit. Scare them into surrender." Then Ulysses added. "And walk a barrage of cannon fire right up to their line so the ground forces don't have to deal with land mines when they land." he added.
"Cool." Uso nodded. "We start in about 20 hours... make sure all your stuff is ready and I'll see you down there!"
