This could be the start of a great working relationship he thought. Even if he didn't already like this commander good relations between a soldier and his extraction team were absolutely CRUCIAL. Maybe they'd have to host a social sometime, get the personnel to bond over a couple drinks and maybe a game or 2. Yanking his mind back on to a more operational track he answered her question.

"Well in terms of boarding party size we're hoping to take First Platoon in as two separate squads comprised of 4 marines each. I'll be leading Baker Squad and I believe if he's not staying behind to coordinate Commander Harper will command Able Squad. Divide and conquer ma'am. Speaking of which" He tapped his comm badge, "Sergeant Ocran, take Baker Squad and hit the weapons locker. I want everything that could conceivable help us get through a starship hull in a pile in front of me in abooooouuuut" he checked his chrono "8 minutes. You'll be coordinating with Ensign Hernandez." "Aye sir." "One more thing Sergeant, we'll need the Vac helmets." "Aye sir"

He turned to Kalre, "We'll see if there's anything we have that can help. In the meantime, are any of these craft adapted for tactical insertion? There is a chance we'll just get transported in anyways but for future missions since we are on a more warlike footing I'd like to know what kind of CASEVAC options I have."
