The squad session started right at the sixth hour. Vane dropped his wristband onto the center of the wooden table, projecting the coastal zone briefing in glowing blue light. He opened immediately with the ridge.
"The eastern slope elevation is wrong," he told them. "The briefing document has a processing error. The actual incline is much steeper. The viable approach angles are far narrower than projected."
Ashe looked across the table at him. "How did you catch that?"
"I didn't," Vane admitted. "One of my junior squad members did. During the orientation meeting."
A brief silence fell over the kitchen. Valerica leaned forward and studied the glowing map. "Which one?"
"Fen Sor. She visually cross-referenced the official briefing map against the actual window angle in the orientation room."
