The CO, the XO and the platoon leaders

"Do they really want to get rid of us so much?" asked a tall redhead standing on the opposite side of the holo-projector depicting a map of a city. "No, they are sending us because they need us there" Elissa returned to her XO, she didn't mind her subordinates speaking up their minds, she even encouraged it. Most were still afraid to do so, but Anna was under Elissa's command for long enough to know to express her opinion when needed. "It's a rebellious planetary government, they're the rightful citizens of the Federation led astray by fools, the citizens shouldn't pay for some idiot's decisions." Elissa continued, having all present in the room fix their eyes on her, "We are there to cut off the serpent's head while the rest of the task **** joins and regroups with forces loyal to the Federation.". A man to the left of her XO raised a hand, asking permission to speak, "Shouldn't it be a task for black ops, ma'am?", the man's name was Xavier, he was the 1st platoon's leader, a stout and efficient man. "The **** on the palace itself will be conducted by a black ops detail from one of the other ships, we will provide support and secure the main complex" The Captain answered, she wasn't thrilled on the assignment either, but once a duty has been given to her, she knew she will see it through.

"Ma'am, although I know we are the most capable **** for this task, we're still speaking of the capital of a main battledroid manufacturing world. Are we sure our regiment and a few black ops teams are enough?" asked the leader of the 2nd platoon, a green haired woman called Freya, her orange skinned arms crossed on her chest. "Prior to our drop, there will be an EMP bombardment on the drop-zone, additionally we will be inserted under a black-out, this should give us the advantage and keep us safe." Elissa returned to the Lieutenant, while moving her look to the last person, the leader of the 3rd platoon, a blond man named John. "What about you lieutenant? What's bothering you?". The tall man looked at the redhead Anna and then back to the Captain, "I agree with the XO, most fast-in fast-out attacks fail and either bog the **** down for a prolonged time or just decimate the ****. Do we at least know who's with us from the black ops? Will they stay and fight with us or disappear like other black ops units?" He asked, he was the senior of the platoon leaders and the most experienced. "It's still unclear, I've petitioned the Colonel for a handshake with the black ops commander, but we might not see them until we drop." Elissa answered. "As for the black ops teams, should they even think about leaving us to die alone, I give you full permission to dispatch of them." She finished.

"Any other questions about the operation?" The captain asked scanning the room, "Right, go make sure all of your soldiers are up. Anna, make sure the quartermaster is up and ready to serve the platoons sergeants' requests. Briefing in forty minutes, make sure everyone are there" the officers nodded, making their way out, Elissa looked at them as they passed her by, focusing on the fiery redhead's bottom. "Anna, on second thought, would you stay for a minute?" she asked the redhead.

Anna turned back to her CO, a small smile on her face, "Yes ma'am, what would you need of me?". The captain looked at her XO, a fierce look in her eyes, a look the XO knew too well what it meant, "You were insolent back there, drop your clothes, you're going to be punished now". A wide grin showed up on the redhead's face, she stepped out of her bodysuit and bent over the holo-projector.
