At that point, I’d kind of rather just idle Vic.

Grace asked for one bodyguard. Vic could go for Grace’s mission while Salt could assist on one of the other missions

"What! You sent two bodyguards for the price of one? I asked for a guy and you have the audacity to send two? Gun them down men. I can't believe I almost trusted them."

We can just have one guy sit in the car ready to put the petal to the metal if SHTF.

Fair enough, it can’t hurt to send an extra bodyguard, thinking back, my statement was stupid
I would suggest...

Salt with O’Malley since they’ll probably strike up a friendly rapport, bring Vic along as well since he’s hilariously unsuited to the Potter job and the ULM job is likely too heavy duty for him at present.
Bring Simon, Nikita, and a pair of others to the ULM job.
Bring Anna and two others to the Potter job — one as a new specialization, and the remaining person just as general backup slash insurance policy to help out of a third pair of hands is for some reason needed.

It’s mainly a problem of dispersed manpower on why we really don’t need a second bodyguard, the objective of the mission is very easy and the only things that can go wrong is for the odd reason that she would betray us, or the freedom fighters not having enough manpower, training, and quality gear if something odd happens at the festival.

In essence, Powder’s mission outlining seems pretty much in align, but for more specific parameters. I’d probably do Salt on Grace’s mission, Anna, Erik, and Ethan for Potter Properties, and finally Simon, Vic, Nikita, and Hoxton (Maybe liking each other will increase tactical cohesion?) for ULM. Vic does have a damaged shoulder, however his CQC knowledge will still be very beneficial for this kind of operation and you could even dumb down the Potter mission to two people for an additional gun for ULM. Ethan suffers both a broken nose and a prosthetic limb, so he should probably be in the Potters and not have to handle combat.

“Dear ULM Party”

We at Ocean’s Ten are devastated by the harassment of police forces of AMR against peaceful protestors. We shall send a dedicated four-man security team with a work vehicle for their own transportation to escort the ULM organizer from the spaceport to downtown, as well as the return trip.”

As already mentioned, we don't really have any specialist bodyguards, and its implied to be a pretty straight forward job, so I'd acrually want to send Anna. She can use her HUMINT to talk to Grace and the freedom fighters and give us some more general situation intel than our contacts and OSINT can provide.

The payout thus won't just be the cash, but better operating knowledge for future missions.

Ok, Truth or Dare. I dare you to....point to all rebel safe-houses on this map. What are you looking at me like that for?"

Would we ever need someone that specializes in being a bodyguard?

Yup, that's probably what someone without HUMINT training would do.

Really though, I think what would be most important is finding out more about the Anghbar situation, the kinda stuff they do, pretty much anything will fill in the humongous gaps in what we know about what's actually going on.

@Zultan: I imagine there's quite a niche for bodyguards in this business. Would likely be one that either needs a couple people at most, or everyone.

There’s potential gain in that, but I think we pretty much need Anna on the Potter Properties job because so much of it revolves around intelligence and being able to understand and alter reports. This is only the first month, but I think somebody with good training about that subject would be able to help lay some of the groundwork, as well as Anna just being decent at that in general.

This plan would be for Vic either idle or on the ULM mission.

Quote from: Powder's Pitches
Dear Grace O'Malley,

We're glad to hear that you're getting back into the swing of things so quickly, and are happy to help along that process -- and happy as well, of course, to cultivate our relationship with you. We will send an operative you should already be a little familiar with to help make sure things go smoothly.

Dear Potter Properties,

You've chosen the right people for this job -- our team of specialists and social experts will make sure that no "shake-ups" happen in the closing of your deal. This will be a two-month operation, given detailed planning and efforts. During this first month of the contract, our specialists will infiltrate the office and gain information about potential opportunities, which we will make decisive and clean use of during the contract's second month.

Dear United Labor Movement,

We are sorry to hear that your efforts to keep your people safe have been stymied by such cruel actions from the corporations, but we can offer you our expertise in relieving the burden that AMR has been trying to place upon you. We will send a team of at least three armed and specialized operatives, along with a reliable vehicle, and will ensure that your currency and your organizer get where they need to be safely.

Stirk's Superior Pitches:

Dear Grace O'Malley,

We've prepared a two man bodyguard-and-extraction team just in case this Founders Festival isn't your lucky day. It never hurts to be cautious.

Dear Potter Properties,

A sizable six-man team will be sent on-location to insure that the purchase goes through without any issue. Consider it a done deal.
