Let's get the obvious out of the way. We ALL think that this is the other group, right?
I personally suspect they're counting on us sending out fighters, on us expecting a trap.
They're probably planning either a rescue mission or an attack while our forces are split...
If they're planning an attack, not a rescue mission, there's not much we can do to throw a wrench in that plan unless we want to ignore the slim chance of a core.
But if they're planning a rescue mission, well... THAT we can do something about.
I think we should extend our hand in cooperation instead. Send out two fighters, one of our brains, an extra set of hands... And Red.
Whatever they're expecting, they won't be expecting that. And it will give us a chance to show Red that we're not as evil as they think we are, letting her come along with a core on the line and maybe even have a say in it... Plus, it gets her out of here if they're planning to sneak in and rescue her.
And if they're planning to spring a trap in the quarry, they'll have to change their plan unless they want to catch Red in it. I know it's not without risk, but nobody would be expecting it. And it has the potential for a good pay-off in probably eighty percent of the possible scenarios.
