Damien somewhat scoffed at the grand goal the commander stated as the mission objective during the final briefing before they touched ground.
Providing a distraction so that Calypto's forces couldn't support the main army on Throh?
Sure it was a viable plan, and a smart one when considering how massive the Nox force on Throh already was, but was it really a good idea to choose students who'd never experienced live combat as the ones to carry out this mission?
It was highly irrational.
Damien didn't doubt that the mission objective was being accomplished, he simply believed that there were other, more dependable measures being put in place to accomplish that goal.
'The point of telling the mission objective to students is to raise their morale by giving them a cause.'
