Transcript

COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: Ok, good. Colonel. Alright, Lieutenant.

1ST LIEUTENANT VELINA SOSA: I've given the Admiral a report of what occurred during the last mission, sir. Now, his response notes that the enemy pipeline is still flowing. So it still needs shutting down. It's hard to beat the bad guys when they keep getting their supplies. Well, however, an enemy command-and-control center has been located underground on Circe V. The Admiral's giving you the option of delivering Lt. Colonel Dekker and his men for a precision strike.

LIEUTENANT COLONEL GASH DEKKER: I've studied the schematics: if you can get us down there, we'll need a few minutes to plant an implosion device that'll turn the place into rubble.

COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: Well, it's behind enemy lines, so a shuttle's out of the question.

COLONEL JACOB "HAWK" MANLEY: Makes you wish you could fly invisible.

COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: We have to use the insertion pods.

1ST LIEUTENANT VELINA SOSA: The Admiral stated that he's got other Marines in the fleet who can handle this, so he requests that you make the call as to which operation makes the best use of the Intrepid's resources, sir.
