TOPIC: UESC Mission Priorities
SUMMARY: An intersystem call between UESC Admiral Sulera and UESC Captain Orion regarding the Anomaly on Tau Ceti IV.
[CSUL]:
You've got your handpicked team, unlimited re-ups, root command over Cerberus. I've given you everything you asked for to outfit this mission. What do you need now?
[ORION]:
Time. We're pushing forward when we should be pulling back, just to meet these quotas. We need to slow down, get our house in order, and approach with caution.
[CSUL]:
You are the head of an elite military unit, Captain. Your house should always be in order.
[ORION]:
This is unknown territory. The colonists studied the Anomaly for years and even they didn't understand it.
[CSUL]:
That means you have years and years of data. Find that data and use it.
[ORION]:
We are. But it takes time. Moving this fast… We've lost equipment. We've lost people.
[CSUL]:
Loss is accounted for in your astronomical budget. Let me make myself perfectly clear. The Anomaly is a mission priority. I want daily reports. I want each daily report to contain a new piece of information that will be worth something to the council. If that means you need to feed your officers into the Anomaly until something worthwhile comes out, I would consider that acceptable attrition. Do you understand?
