Cordi, then? They already have a history together.
The only problem is the chirping. My God, the chirping...!
I'd rather listen to chirping than the incessant "bup-bup-bup-bupbup" of a certain only 'good for glassing' species.
I also have a question regarding tactics for Isa and Crystal.
You have been assigned to protect a planet of great tactical importance, but not given sufficient forces to do so. A larger hostile fleet then engages you and you have no option but to abandon the planet and give up an important strategic point with only a small chance of being able to retake it in the future.
My question is this; would you enact a "scorched earth" policy and burn the planet to deny it's resources to the enemy while damning countless lives but ensuring victory in the future, or would you leave and hope the battle to retake it goes well?
And just for the scenario, the planet contains an equal ratio of cryvans to humans and has resources highly valued by both forces.....It also has the galaxies highest population of the cutest kittens ever to exist. EVER.
What would you do, why, and how would you feel about it?
