Art of Domination Thread 04

I don't want Spec Ops inside the fortress? The idea was never to get Spec Ops inside Pioneer. That's risky and more dangerous than needed. The idea was prolonged, discrete observation. If I wanted to view inside, I'd argue for human spies to do it. The only reason I mentioned a portal inside is, well, if we had a layout of Pioneer (maybe the AIs have access to blueprints, actually) we could find a spot to stealthily make a portal and drop Spec Ops... and even then I'd be sort of cautious about doing that. The portals would be well outside of range of Pioneer. I fully intended the Spec Ops to hoof it, as it were. I suppose I should have been clearer. My idea was not an infiltration, but an observation. Watch for patrols. Watch for troop movements. Look for apparent weaknesses. Look for improbable weaknesses. This wasn't going to be a "Wetworks" mission for Spec Ops, but an intel one.
