"It's a good plan," Anh-Le said. Pumped full of painkillers and with the itchy sensation of newly-protoplased skin over her half-repaired oblique muscles, she wasn't in the mood for talking too much, but there was work to do. "We've got our hands on a map of the facility that Commander Fisher's being held in, and I'm fairly certain it's up to date. Since I got my ass kicked pretty good by a Klingon for insulting his mother, I'll be here on coms to guide the assault team through."
She switched to her best High Rihan for Lieutenant Amarik and Petty Officer Lorad's benefit; the main Romulan prestige dialect was mostly intelligible with Havran, and though Anh-Le wasn't good with Havran idiom, pronunciation, or grammatical idiosyncracies (you didn't get many intercepted comms in Reman dialects, whereas there were a lot of files that had to be translated from High Rihan...and then examined for code words and phrases once the cipher was dealt with...there were a lot of frustrated nights that she could remember all too well, damn.)--well, she could speak enough High Rihan to get her point across, and not so much that she'd get lost on a tangent.
She'd been doing the latter a lot recently. Missing too much sleep, probably.
"<I'll try to help you make it fast so we don't leave your evac waiting on you for half an hour,>" the Orion said. Well, she was pretty sure she said that, she might have mispronounced the slang for "evac". Then it was back to Federation Standard for the whole group, and hope that the universal translators caught her previous comment. "Security's going to be tighter than usual, but if our hacker can get into the defense network we can probably shut down most of the grid from here, it's a pretty well-interlinked system. That'll let us take out automatic disruptor turrets, laser defense grids, forcefields, gravy traps, all that. Downside is, there'll be a silent alarm, which means we're on a clock the moment automated security goes down. It also means that our end is responsible for distracting the enemy and making sure that that clock lasts as long as possible."
Hopefully this would go off without too many hitches. Anh-Le liked Fisher, he seemed to be pretty competent and just enough of a hardass to get the job done without being an asshole. And while Rutherford and Pierce seemed fine, well, a good CO wasn't something you wanted to lose, no matter the replacement. "Obviously," she said in conclusion, "if you see something I either didn't mention or don't quickly mention, tell me immediately so we can start figuring a way around it."
