(Sorry for not clarifying this earlier if it wasn't apparent but Flint has the most experience in terms of mechanics, and engineering. That is why he was the only one who could repair the stolen pikes that were used earlier on Luna. He is also the best shot on the entire freighter, hence the sniper rifle he uses.

Now you may wonder why a engineer/Sniper would be needed on a demolitions mission located on a Fallen Ketch in tight close quarter combat. I have plans for him to craft the bomb with his expertise, and repair the jet packs that'll be used during the mission. However, you do have a point Red that any random expendable cultists could lead and carry out the mission. But, I still need Flint alive to conduct the mechanical work explained above. So I'll just send some random over fanatical cultist instead to lead the mission.

I would have explained all of this with in character posts eventually, but you guys insisted on me clarifying the whole thing ahead of time. So here it is.)
