Alright. I read you loud and clear Carla and understood. 

[Gathers round]
What's the plan? I'm all ears.

And yeah, someone needs to watch E-3's ass. 

But honestly, I'm thinking of Patrolling North East. Anyone want to join?

I feel like we need to discuss team strategies, and divide up the tasks to suit our individual talents. 
1. We need to divide up into groups so that no one will be alone at any point in time. As a group of 7, this means we would be divvying up into 2, 2 and 3. 
2. Each group should have someone who has a high Data level, and someone who has combat experience. As this means the two of us, Risa, I think we'd have to split. I'm not a booky kind of person, so I'll leave that up to you guys.
3. The team of 3 should probably have 2 with combat experience, and a single research-intent person. This way all the brains of the group will have a guard at all times. 

To sum up: Every nerd has their own protector. It's like *smiles to self* The Beauty and the Geek: Aliens!


Edit: Not to say that the nerds should focus on data collection only though... just that they should specialise in it while the rest of us rowdy up the place. A certain level of fighting experience always comes in handy. 

Edit2: Also, hallway patrolling sounds.. pretty critical! We don't want to have them mofo's sneak up on us, so I say that each team would take turns patrolling the hallways. 

Important clarification: We'll keep the teams fluid, and make teams according to what action we're going to perform. 

So, if we're going in teams of 2, 2, 3...
But so far only Carla and I have a combat level of 2. And only E3 has a Data level of 2.

If Carla and I guard E3, we're sending out only the 'weaker' groups out to face the aliens head on.
Is that a good idea?

By the way E3, I didn't notice this earlier, but why did you lose an extra 5% HP compared to the rest of us after the first phase? Did anything happen?
