I need to know if you can spare any men for the assault? Or, if you wish to join it as the assault leader, me by your side?

"I can spare several ODST battalions, that means tanks, infantry, air support and heavy weapons. But I have to stay aboard the Alamo and lead the fleet into battle. If we can take out their ships then we can stop the invasion and that means less troops for you to fight. You understand id rather be on the ground fighting but what kind of admiral doesn't lead the assault from his ship. Once you're on the ground alert me and my troops will drop down on your position and be under your command."

Yes sir. Good luck, admiral. May the luck of a thousand warriors be with you

"And the same to you, may we meet again old friend." *walks back to the bridge to prepare."
