"Briefing acknowledged. Given the priority of the objective and the expected opposing force, for best odds of success it is recommended that you allow the team to requisition a phased plasma cannon that you can afford to lose if this mission is a success. Barring that, another heavy anti-armour weapon is highly recommended, plus whatever other members of the force can bring to bear against heavy chassises, such as canister charges.
Strip the Huey of everything that's not of immediate use. Even with the main sensor arrays down, it is not going to be unnoticed, and once spotted, it will not be allowed to take off ever again, even if we engage and defeat the main guard force: expect a beyond-visual-range artillery and other weaponry to shell the landing area in minutes and turn the craft no longer airworthy.
