(here's my idea of the briefing. Sorry if it is inconsistent. I hope it isn't though.)
"Stick Anteater.", Signas said. A holo-image of the Reploid appeared. He has a long snout, a stupid name, and a weak weapon. As seen here in these surveilance photos, his attacks are primarilly all at close range. His weapon of choice is the "Striking Stick." He uses this weapon in much the same style of a quarter staff, but can also weild it like a sword, and can also use it for defense. He is exceptional with the weapon, but the damage done from each hit is only minimal. . His real strength comes from his body crush attack. He can also syphon off some of your energy with his shout if you get too close, but for a long range fighter like you Protoman X, he shouldn't be a problem.
"That's fine.",PX nodded. Of course, the trip will take a long time. Even with our current technology, you will spend almost a whole month in space flight...JUST to get there! This will give you two time to train, and maybe even get to know one another better.", Signas offered with a gesture.
"Hey! What is that supposed to mean?", PX gasped defensively. Alia looked at him strangely. PX though (No! Why did I say it like that! Stupid, stupid!)
"What's the matter? Are you okay?", she asked. Signas got a whiff of an uneasiness flowing from him. Protoman X just shrugged, and tried to pass it off as nothing.
"Nevermind. I'm sure I'll enjoy it. Anyway....you were saying."
"Well. Okay, yeah...I was saying that He is stationed in orbit around Pluto. Sigma has parked a battle cruiser there called the "Frozen Rage.", It was named for a henchman of Dr. Dopplers, Blizzard Buffalo. We've been calling it 'Rage' for short."
"How will we get aboard Sir?", Alia asked.
"That is something Douglas and I have been thinking about. Saber Wolf tricked the comm officer to believe that he was expected by Sigma, and he was able to land on the Battle station around Venus, but you won't get that chance. Instead, we've decided on a more daring entrance."
"Meaning what, exactly?", PX asked with a knowing look. Anytime someone begins to rephrase something like that, it usually means trouble.
"Well, when you get up in space, you'll rendezvous with one of our representatives on the Eurasia Colony. From there, you will be transferred to a specially designed ship called "Blockade Runner IV. Once aborad the ship, you set a straight course for Pluto."
"That still doesn't answer my question sir." Alia chimed in.
"Alright. I was going to tell you later, but I might as well now. The Blockade Runner IV will ram right in the space cruiser, and create an entrance!"
"What"? Are you crazy? That will get us killed!", PX stood up, with his fist in a rage.
No, it won't! If you hit the craft dead on, the specially designed front end of the craft will puncture the hull, and seal over the rupture as soon as it is inside. Then, it opens up, and you both drop out, and go to work!"
"But how will we get home?", Alia asked.
"Here's how! The reason the craft goes so slow is because the back half is a mini-shuttle. It can only fit you two exactly, and even so it is a snug cabin. This craft will speed you away, and then triggers a detonator for the remaining blockade runner ship. The mini-shuttle travels at a faster speed, so you'll be home in half the time it took to get there, but still...that is almost a whole two weeks."
"Why couldn't we just take one of those out there in the first place?", PX asked.
"We thought about that, but... Hmm. You know what? Don't worry about it for now. If we come up with a better way, we will notify you as soon as you are on Eurasia. Till then, you're both dismissed. Meet in the launching bay in one hour." (to be continued)
