OSI Corporate Offices(InRP)

Duncan sat scratching his chin lightly, waiting for either Kelly or Voncloud to speak. When they didn't, he leaned forward and addressed Doc.

" Leadership will be a difficult topic to control. Unfortunately every Zoner thinks they are fit for command, most are not. Regardless, they will often do as they please regardless of a command structure. Whomever is the designated leader of these teams will definitely have their hands full."

Duncan leaned back, tilting his head back to look up at the ceiling. His face reflected a man in deep thought, one who had a difficult thing to think about. After a moment of silence like this, he brought his head forward again and spoke.

"Forgive me if I seem presumptuous, but by my reasoning I think that maybe you Doctor should assume the leadership role here on the ground. While we both may hold influence, you have much more experience than I. Add to the fact that you have lived here for many years, and it seems that you are the ideal candidate for the position. As for a security fleet outside the planet, I could have some of OSI security forces moved to Lanzarote. The Corsairs seemed to be ignoring it, and therefore it would make an excellent staging point for forays against any occupying fleets. Of course should it come to that, we would need all the help we could get, Taz, Phoenix, and whomever else is willing to show. I would also like to nominate Director Voncloud here as the leader of the space-born forces. He has much experience with his past as a mercenary, and would be able to coordinate the fleets well."

Duncan smiles a bit.

" I've heard rumors that the Corsairs have shifted much of their fleets toward Omega-5. I do not know what they are up too, but it gives a breather to prepare. A breather we desperately need."
