Finn turns to his compatriots. "Here's my idea for a plan:
"We break into two squads of three; you three," Finn indicates three of the officers, "would be the Alpha Squad and the rest of us are Omega. Alpha team breaches the cargo hold through a side wall and slowly works their way forward towards the bridge. After five minutes, once the defenses have deployed towards us, the sub detaches and Omega breaches adjacent to the bridge.
"We will maintain contact, and depending on how the occupants react, we either engage the defenders from two sides or make an end-run to the bridge.
"Once Omega has taken control of the bridge, we will make an announcement over their PA system that they are surrounded, under arrest, etc. If the crew surrenders at that point, then Alpha Squad and peacefully disarm the remaining cultists and we can wait for transport.
"If they don't surrender, Alpha Squad should join Omega Squad in the bridge, and we will hold a defensive position until relieved.
"Along the way, it's hard to predict what phenomena we may encounter. We're just going to have to play that by ear. Depending on what we find, we may have to shutdown their operations with extreme prejudice. Keep in mind that this goal, if it arises, takes precedence over all others. Even our survival.
"After the second squad has boarded, the sub should disengage from the visitation site and loiter in the area. We may call for a pickup at either of the original entry points, or here," Finn indicates the absolute tip of the bridge. "If things go very very badly, you," Finn indicates the pilot, "will have one final duty: breach the visitation site in as many locations as possible and flood it.
"What do you think, Coop? Do you have any suggestions or alternatives? Or is it once more into the breach?"
OOC: I'd like to have requested four demolition charges and give two to each team. I'm guessing they should be readily available with all the mining going on. Each squad member gets either a demolition charge or is responsible for maintaining communication with the other teams.
