x_team | So, folks...

I want you to take a look at this footage from Polaris and Cable's session this evening. I've given you all access, even the trainees, from whom I'm particularly interested in hearing. The reason it goes black abruptly would be because someone decided that cutting power to the Danger Room was a suitable way to end the scenario. (Hands up if anyone else sees the lack of field applicability for the 'shutting off the world' tactic?) Also, I wasn't able to clean up the audio properly, so what they're saying to each other isn't always audible over the gunfire and so forth. I'll just say that they were doing entirely too much talking, from my perspective in the control booth.

1) Opinions on the approach they took? Notice that they didn't start doing serious damage to the drones until nearly the end-of-scenario. Trainees, any thoughts on why?
2) Watching the footage cold, what do you think the purpose of the scenario was? (Nathan, Lorna, no explaining.) Based on your best guess, were their tactical choices appropriate?
3) Any observations on their level of teamwork?
4) Thoughts on the powers-applications they demonstrated?
5) Look at the readings I attached on their power usage. Notice any spikes? What were the results?
6) Put yourself in the scenario with them; what would your role have been?

Keep any comments constructive, people; questions are also more than welcome, whether it's for me (since I designed the scenario) or for the two who ran it. Trainees, you especially should feel free to ask as many questions as you like, as always.

Nathan, Lorna? Whatever does come out of the conversation - and I know I can trust you to take criticism well - I'll just reiterate that you both did pretty well, especially since you're both just getting off injured reserve. I do however want self-assessments on the subject of whether or not you figured out the purpose of the scenario that I didn't mention in the initial description.
