||Attention, Attention...|| The message repeats over and over, until all of the people she was calling reported to the Obs Deck.

Once they get there, they're greeted with an unusual sight. The mouth in the huge statue on the wall opens, revealing a screen. On it, the dossier for the mission flickers into display, understandable to every person there. Smaller copies of the dossier appear in holographic form in front of everyone.

The planet's stats, right next to a rotating picture of it, a dusty brown orb with orange clouds overhead:

"I... just found out about it, actually," he admitted. "Seriously, Stacy needs to do a better job with the briefings."

He looked over the mission specs some more, a bit thoughtful about the situation. "Well, if you're going to build a base on planet desert, it'd make sense to build it either on or near some kind of oasis. So you might not be that out of luck." Hopefully.

He definitely wasn't going to get an argument with Katara on that. These kinds of things definitely needed to be planned ahead of time. Still, Katara knew that Julian had been a part of a team back home, so this was likely not to be anything new.

Well that was a relief. "Even if we don't find one, I'll do the best I can. I still know martial arts and a bit of combat fighting, so I'll be able to defend myself."

She paused. "So what do you think we'll see when we get there?"

"Judging by the map?" He glanced over it again. "Dirt, sand, rocks, Ohm, and weapons."

You could trust Julian. He was obviously a professional.

"We can work with that, though. If we can kick up enough dust, we can probably fog up any sensors they have there."

See? Professional.

"Hmm." That didn't really give her a lot to go on. Chances were that they were going to have gather that intel themselves, and find a way of getting that information back to the others.

"Do we have any way of communicating back and forth, from one location to another? If so, maybe we can start mapping out how we're going to do this: that way we can improvise if needed, and get this done before they send in reinforcements. I'd be willing to scout ahead, if you don't have anyone better for the job. I won't be useless without water, but it still puts me at a bit of a disadvantage."

Yes Julian, she totally gets you're leader, but still wants to help in any way she can and give suggestions. It was likely a result for all of her planning with the Outsiders.
