"Is the bridge appropriate for briefing?" The bandaged man was more businesslike than his boss, "I don't want to explain this multiple times, nor do I want to alarm anyone who is just in this for the paycheque. That and a live satellite feed of the city would be nice, though we can provide stills in the absence of that convenience."
And with that they flew off into another thread.
James split off from them in the hallway, heading the opposite direction and into the bowels of the ship rather than towards the bow and the bridge. Before he parted ways he answered Agent Orange in the most professional way imaginable.
"The ship runs on a skeleton crew when we don't have passengers. Soldiers and scientists... I think both of them would like to hear anything you have to say about the shitstorm we're flying into."
As for the satellite feed, that would be something he'd need to take up with the science men themselves. Satellites were expensive, and with the vast majority of their business was conducted within a few hundred miles of their base of operations, satellites weren't a necessity. They did have some, of course... but whether or not they would be over the city at that time was questionable.
On the other hand, Angelo lead the way to the bridge through corridors that had sealed branches. The main hallway was open, but with the majority of the ship not in use many of the hallways were blocked with thick steel doors. Arriving at the bridge would take only a minute or two, and they would enter through the large double doors at the rear of the bridge.
The Paradigm would arrive over Agrippina in ten hours time.
