"All right ladies and gents, our Target is going to be harder to get to, but that's why this one falls to us. We're assaulting an artic base that is split into two major sections, and has a small orbital defense platform in orbit above. Now that will be the easy part knocking the orbital out. Mark you want the other half of this?" Jack said before motioning for Mark to finish.
"Got it.", Mark said standing up, "The major problem is that despite that, this place is dug in and uses the environment to full effect. As far as we can tell from initial scans, the base itself is two parts. One half is on the icy surface, while the second half sits at the bottom of a below level body of water. They are connected by a grouped mass lift system not unlike a orbital elevator. On top of this, that section can be disconnected to isolate the lower base half. Majority of opposition will be ground forces in the base, with whatever defenses are stationed around the area and on base. One we begin our assault, that lift system will disconnect, meaning we'll have to swim down. Which is riskier due to possible defensive measures, but less noticeable. Or we blow a few holes in the ice and drop craft into the water."
Neera had barely paid attention, but remembered a question she had, "Isn't this where Amit is being held?"
"Yes, an anonymous tip was sent to us saying this location is where Amit is being held." Jack answered.
"So standing orders. Capture the base for the most part intact, eliminate all opposition, and evac any prisoners they may be holding in addition. Is that understood?" Mark asked finishing their outline.
"Yes sirs!", Came a chorus of replies from the SABER personnel.
