Sauron stretched languidly, balancing his feet on the chair in front of him, and raised his hand.

"Hey, Avgust. Just to clarify, I'm not an official part of your platoon. I'm Lightless, and therefore outside of the standard command structure. However, I had a little audience with the Commander after you left. I gave him the necessary details, and he slotted me in as G-2 for this op. Basically, I'll be handling the rest of this briefing. The real stuff, anyway."

The Exo strode to the front of the room, past a startled Avgust, and tapped a few commands into a nearby console, bringing up a large-scale map.

"Alright, people. Now that the CO's done his song-and-dance, it's time for the real thing. The name's Sauron-145, and I'll be doing intel and op-comm duties for this run. Here's what we're dealing with."

A flashing red planet appeared on Sauron's map, with a green line heading away from it, passing through various parts of the system. An asteroid field near Saturn was also outlined in orange.

"That red dot is Ceres, where we think Enxor's forces are most prominent. To get there, we're going to have to pass through the Reef. I know most of you have been on the Wolf Hunts, but we'll be running cold and deep on this one, passing outside Vestian territory and through the Narrows. That area's full of Wolves and other unsavory characters, so we'll need a constant watch for boarders. After we pierce the Reef, we will pass Saturn and head through the First Fleet Graveyard. Anyone ever been that way before? No? Okay. It's a massive stretch of debris, full of what's left of our First Fleet and the Fallen House of Scars. We don't think any Scars are still alive, but we know from intel runs by the Hidden that Cabal Sky Burner salvage ships have been searching through that sector after the Reef Guard pulled out. I won't lie to you, ladies and gentlemen. This is an extremely dangerous mission. Don't let your Light make you feel invincible. You are not. Rely on each other, not on the chain of command. If you think you've fought the Hive, even if you've been to the darkest level of the Hellmouth, you're still not going to be able to defeat everything on your own. Watch each other's backs, and I'll watch all of yours. Dismissed!"

Sauron shut off the map display and left the room.
