Cleo, unfazed by their banter, nodded once more. "Rex's assessment is accurate. If we can secure the station, it will give us a significant strategic advantage. The asteroid belt's natural layout will provide cover, and the station itself has docking facilities that we can repurpose for larger-scale operations."
Carlos finally sat back, processing everything. "Alright, so let me get this straight. We head to the station, wipe out the pirates, and convince the traders to let us stay. Sounds... ambitious."
"Affirmative," Cleo replied simply.
Rex clapped his hands together, the sound cutting through the room. "Then what are we waiting for?" he said, standing up with a grin. "Let's get to it."
Cleo turned off the holo-display, her sharp gaze sweeping across the team. "We'll move out immediately. Rex, Carlos, and Ys prepare for deployment. I'll coordinate the fleet to ensure backup is ready if needed."
